One Debater Insists Dempsey Will Be at as Big a
Disadvantage Against Willard as Leonard Would
Be Against Dempsey
IN THE SPORTLIGHT BY GHANTLAND KICE

A Few Arguments
JESS WILLARD as a physical proposition evidently looks good to Major
Cushman A. Rice. And the major should have a pretty fair idea of what
physical condition means. On one occasion he went on a big-game hunt through
Tibet alone, spending a year thero without seeing n white man. On another
occasion he put in ten months potting Siberian tigers, where very few adven
turers would care to go. He watt-an nvldtor in France, although beyond the
age of thirty-five, was wounded and came near stnrtlng west for the final hike.
He writes: "I have been out to see Willnrd several times and he is far
from being a poor, broken-down old man. He is in good shape even this far
ahead. Dempsey must be very good to win."

, A'o Chance of Trading Bobby Roth to Another Club
WHILE in Cleveland we van a big storv in one of the papers stating that
Connie was eager, anxious and willing to trade nobby Hoth to some
American League club, and the sooner a deal was made the better lie would be
satisfied. The next day it was sjjid that Harry Fra7.ee was talking turkey to
Manager Mack and was ready to turn over Mike McNallv and .lack Harry for

trying to quench a 2 per cent thirst. He was anythiug but a bright little ray
of eunshine. Rut everything is changed now.
When Harry Davis came back to the club Uoth went to Connie Mark and
asked to be relieved of the duties as captain.
"Davis. Is the man for the job."' he snid. "and I want to resigu in his
favor. If I can't resign I'll quit the job anyway "
That was a manlj offer to make, aud since that time IJobby has improved

Leonard and Kilbane Were
'Mints' for Promoters Here
Ten- fighters hold the respect of
the promoters in this city like Benny
Leonard and Johnny Kilbane. Not
once in the showings of these wo
popular champions in this city have
the promoters lost money ou them.
Leonard always was a great at
traction and n monev getter. The
same applies to Kilbane. This was
best expressed when more than
S3.".fl00 was paid to see the two
wonders battle.
Only one boy has been developed
in the last two years to make a
real showing against Leonard. That
is Lew Tendlef, but the weight
question seems so serious that the
meeting is too remote.
Tendler likewise is a great gate
attraction here.

TEltPSEY is undoubtedly good.
U Willard will have o be a ici;.
Fifty-five Pounds Too Much to Concede
ALL championship imbrolglios develop burning debates. Passionate oratory
flutters back nnd forth at a rapid pace.
One debater contends that Dempsey will be at as big a disadvantage against
Willard as Renny Leonard would be against Dempsey. "Fifty-five pounds,"
he says, "is fifty-five pounds." Willard is fiftv-five nonnd hinir th.n
Dempsey and Dempsey is only fifty-five pounds heavier than Leonard. What's
the difference?
Fifty-five .pounds is undoubtedly fifty-five pounds. There's no argument
about that. Rut there is this difference a 140-pounder hasn't anything like
the walloping force that a lflo-pounder carlies.
Rut a 105-pouuder can have almost the sntne walloping power that a 250
pounder can shoot.
see'
JEMPSEY can hit almost as hard as Wittard whereas, Leonard
U cant hit anywhere in the same neighborhood with Dempsey
Leonard would be a jole against any average heavyweight above 100.
Wheieas, Dempsey has dropped several average heavyweights
above 230.
The Case of Fitz
TTOW about Fitzsimmons? you might ask. Fitz, weighing 150, could hit
-LJ. with any 200-pounder. Quite so.. Rut Fitz. from the waist up, was
built like a 200-pounder. And in this game you don't punch with your legs
or feet. '
And Fitz happened to be one of tho?e citizens who carried enormous lever
age. He had the steel;spring stuff in either arm. Aud leverage is a vital factor
whenit comes to hitting hard, whether it be a baseball or boxing.
Scbulte had as much leverage as any ball player we ever saw. Mc
Loughlin had tremendous leverage 4n tennis. 114 was another steel-sprlne
walloper.
Norman Maxwell, the young Philadelphia golfer, weighed only 120
pounds. He is slight, of frame, with no bulk in cither shoulders or chest,
let Maxwell was a terrific hitter, one of the longest in the game. Huskv
sluggers around ISO and 100, with height and length of reach far beyond
Maxwell's range, were unable to drive within ten yards of him.
Maxwell had unusual leverage. His timing wns, of course, good, but he
needed the other in copious quantities to get the distance he obtaihed.
nOBBY BYRXE, the Kerry Patch kid, a member o.
Pittsburgh ball club, was far from being: ami tn
wain t very large, inn he could drive a baseball a mile, and after he
took up golf became a long hitter in short order. All for the same
reason leverage.
Cub Pitching
WITH the return of summer heat the power of the Cub pitching staff is
now beginning to be shown.
There isn't another staff in 'baseball to be compared to Chicago's talent.
Alexander, Vaughn and Tyler make a great staff, unaided. Rut Claude Hen
drix has now begun to contribute as much stuff ns any of the Rig Three, and
young Martin has shown his ability to go the route.'
Four fine pitchers, working in turn, will come pretty close to winning any
pennant. Recall what Rudolph. Tvler and James did for the Rraves of 1014
when the Rraves were only able to average around two runs a day. '
'Tins Cub combination should be the best or most effective pitching
staff through the last decade. It got away slowly, with Alexander
needing more time to slip back into form. He is about right now, so
keep a weather eye peeled on that Cook county machine from mid
June on.
Season Still a Trifle Soon
TT IS just as well to remember that the season is still a trifle soonf There
X are something around 100 games left, nnd nn amazing number of thing
can happen in 100 ball games.. In 1000, a month beyond this stage, the White
Sox were a bad seventh, struggling to keep away from the yawning abyss. That
j car they won n world's championship.
In 101-1, a month beyond this date, the Rraves were a reeling last. They

the White Sox of 1000 and the Rraves of 1014, overthrew a mighty machine
at the finish. ,
The White Sox stopped the great Cub team short and the Rraves over
whelmed and wrecked the Athletics.
T IS for such startling turns as this thai sport carries its tremen
dous lure.
