“a4 THE EVENING WORLD, SATyALAY, JULY 22, 10392, BRENNAN, WILLARD AND WILLS Wilt Also Tackle Georges Car- pentier in Return Contest Abroad—Expect Negro Will Furnish Best Battle of All. By Robert Edgren. Jack Dempsey is going to have a busy year. Manager Jack Kearns ®ays that in the next twelve months the champion will fight as often as ible. He is handicapped by a luck of opponents and if he cleans up the present list there'll be no more heavyweights to give him a bat- tle unless some new giant pops up from among the unknowns. There was one fellow who might Nave been good enough to go after the championship in another year or two—Ralph Smith—a hard hitting amateur, as tall as Willard and of a leaner and faster bulld. But Smith fe just out of thMhonpital after being faid up four months as the result of a crash between a fire truck and an electric train. It is unlikely he mill ever fight again. No other newcomer tn the heavy- Weight ranks looks anything like a hampton. Dempsey’s prospective matches are th Bill Brennan, Jess Willard, Georges Carpentier and Harry Wills. Harry Greb is also a possibility in a short bout. Brennan ehance. fs to be given a third In thetr first bout, before Dempsey became champion, Dempsey knocked Brennan down with a right hand hit on the chin, and in falling @Prennan broke his ankle, which naturally ended the fight. The second time Brennan gave Dempsey a real battle and a pretty good mauling until the champion took all the Sight out of him with heavy body blows and beat him in the twelfth round. Brennan's friends claim that he had Dempsey winging and made the Mistake of not following up his tem- porary advantage. Brennan told me after the fight that he thought he had Dempsey beaten and that if he ever got such an advantage again he'd know how to press it. He 1s big, strong fellow, and although not nearly #0 agressive as Dempsey, might have the luck to put over a haymaker. It would be a@ lot of luck though. THE FACTS ABOUT WILLARD. While Dempsey and Carpentier uldn’t be matched again in this country, the two will draw well in England, and a match has been signed up for some time before next June. Carpentier is a splendid bover and ® heady fighter with e corking punch He might beat a lot of men bigger than Demprey, but it's very unlikely that he'll ever beat Jack. Dempsey thas too much speed to be beaten by a ten or fifteen pounds lighter. fe hits too hard for Carpentier or any other man of his weight. Using four- ounce gloves might help Carpentier— but Dempsey would have them, too. Dempsey is no giant. He's a light man among heavywelght champions When he knocked out Willard at To- Jedo he weighed only 183 pounds. But he has a Fitzsimmons huild—iight fegs and small waist, with heavy anu powerful back and mhoulders and arms. The facts abont Willard are just these: Nobody but Dempsey ov, perliapy, Wills, would give him any trouble He was a great fighter when le ‘hipped Johnson—a superman in wtrength and perfect in condition--a first class boxer with « cool, d mie mind and the ability to or outlast and outpunch the black cham- pion Willard, however, is usually ex- tremely lazy and placidly over-con ident because of his bulk and atrength, It took a Johnson figlit to make him train. Usually he shirked hard training and went into the ring Be foo good-natur ox cept when he ia stung, He wasn't tung at Toledo; he was blasted on of the championship by Dempsey's first terrific sock on the ch Willard’s natural style is a®catitio defensive fight, relying o eayy eounter hit It’s duubtful that he would ever t Dempscy's combina- lon of er advance und ainazing!s Budden attack, combined th ace eurat nd tery hitting. But a man with Willard's strength and ! ting power ulways has a Jand a winning blow chance tu WILLS 30 POUNDS HEAVIER THAN JACK. As for Harry Willg—there’s a fol- Jow big enough to give Demps.y trouble, and he is boxing al! the time and doesn’t lack experience, Willy outweighs Dempsey Uhirty pounds or He is 4 inches taller and in every way. He's a good He isn't of the Jack Jqin- won type, Until recently Wills worted @s. 2 stevedore on the New York wharver, He never fleures in the police news. He's no speeder outvide je rinss If Wills hasn't much of a re it becanse the most tisedt ‘ pt away trom him. bred Maken Wes bold smougy to take a chance, after beating Sam Langford without much trouble, Sam being far gone in fat. Wills beat Fulton—not within fifteen seconds as Dempsey did, but quickly enough. Sam Langford used to knock Wills out occasionally but when Sam be- came too ancient Wills bed his turn. Wills made a poor showing with Bill Tate a while ago, losing the proud title of “colored champion" to Witl- tam, but there was a queer look about that match, Bill Tate never figured as a world beater and Dempsey used to knock him out every day or two in the training camp. There's one thing about the Demp- sey-Wills match that makes It a doubtful proposition for a promoter. Wills has often been accused of bold- ing and hitting and other stunts hardly In accord with the Marquis of Queensberry’s code. In a champion- ship match @ capable referee would Insist upon fighting according to the rules, and if Wills has any careless habits they might crop up in @ round or two, which would lead to a quick disqualification and a short show. GREB RANKS WITH CARPEN- TIER. But on the whole, the only objec- tion to a Wills-Dempsey match in that {t's a ‘mixed match," of the sort that has been prohibited in the past by the New York and other Box- ing Commissions because of the race noting and other disturbances that are likely to follow. Apparently, the New York Commission is willing to shoulder the responsibility for the small detail, A funny contrast to Wills and his 6 feet 6 of shiny brawn ts little Harry Greb, lightheavyweight champion and able to fight at the middleweight imit—a short, stocky ttle fellow who could walk under Wills’s arm without ducking. Greb has fought and beaten nearly all the heavyweights around the country and has been challenging Dempsey for the past six months. eb thinks he can beat the heavy- weight champion over any distance, and Jack Kearns says he can have a chance some time next winter when business is dull. But Kearns has Greb slated for a short bout, and says it is because he'd be ashamed to let Dempsey clout a smaller man for the usual period At that, Greb surely ranks with Carpentier.
