Coqueror of Dempsey.
rte who sat in at tile ring-
Yankee stadium in New York Satur-
day. are agreed that it is Willard and
m now and then the survivor will
meet Dempsey. And from their view-
Mt. its an open question whether
Dy “ht as the new heavyweight
champion of the world.
He has terrino power behind his
punches. the fighting instinct to send
them home end the cavemen rage to
destroy an opponent.
Grantland Rice. perhaps the great-
est sperting authority of them all. soon
in b‘irpo a throwback to the remote
ages. the age of primodoral men when
existence end life itself depended upon
skill in the chase and the cunning and
Igoe. in the World. says Willard did
prove that a. man over forty can make
himself over but that was about all he
did prove.
“All that he saw in the tight be-
tween Johnson and Willard was the
lion-hearted courage of the younger
man who took it and came back for
more. Johnson's heart was broken in
the tenth round. says Xgoe. when Wil-
lard stood with guard down and let
the younger man hit him repeatedly
on the few with everything he had.
Johnson saw then. when Willard
didn't drop under his attack. that it
was only a question of a few seconds
when he (Johnson) would be stowed
away but he would not quit. Even
after his seconds had tossed in the
sponge at the end of the eleventh
Johnson wanted to continue.
"Wlllard's performance against
Floyd Johnson was pitifully week for
a man mountain." continues lgoc.
"He simply cuffed the little men
around the lot as any freckled-feced
bully would have done. his slopped
over as he always has done. This time
Willard didn't have a steel-listed boy
against him. He Just lumber-Jacked
the little boy around while trying to
impress the crowd that he was coming
“back "
I can't believe that against Firpp.
the shaggy hitter. he would have a
chance. Johnson has three amazing
attributes without much else. He is
steel blue-eyed. courageous and heart-
bound. Johnson. as we have told the
readers of this page. hasn‘t that divine
poke—a. punch You can run into
most anything. but men can't expect
to crash through the Wall around the
best pert of China with a feather
duster.
Johnson was superlative. He was
running head-on into murder in the
first degree. His fight against Willard
was. of course.. the effort extraordin-
ary. He plunged like a shuttlecock'
against the side of the Woolworth
if there is a men in our
town who believes that the building or
the man mountain is soft. he ought to
put a pair of gloves on himself.
Willard is large enough to have
knocked Napoleon and his whole rig-
mu'ole out of the imperial windows
Johnson was too small. feeble. de-
spite his round shoulders end stccl
eyes and a great heart. Possibly no
man in the world can overcome the
handicap of fifty-three pounds without
a blackjack. Johnson was extraordin-
ary in his courage when he begged
Charlie Cook to allow him to go out
for the twelfth round.
This followed the lest knockdown
when Johnson plunged forward head-
first onto his eyebrows. The knuck-
down was cruel. coming from a man
like Willard. Johnson had struggled
to his feet meantime. twice before the
final count. twice before this. He
looked lit to continue and the thing
that probably astounded Willard was
when Joe Humphrios fiddled his way
through the ropes and made a very
short speech about Johnson's courage.
The whole town knows about John-
son's courage now.
Willard walked across the ring and
actually picked Johnson up in bi:
arms and planted him into whatever
position the photographers called for.
Youth is a wonderful thing. but it
is not everything. Johnson had the
youth but he lacked the experience of
age He lost. They say that Willard

SPRINGWOODS LOSE FIRST
- GAME T0 WlLllAMSBRlDOE
Kuhlman, Former Lockwood Pitcher, Allows Local Team
Four Hits—Game Goes Ten Innings—Williams
Plays Fine Game at Short.
in one of the best games ever
played by the Hilltopers the Spring-
woods went down to defeat 'before
the “’iliiemsbridge Red Box of New
York. after ten innings of tense base-
ball. by the score of 2-0.
it was a pitchers battlo.from start
to finish between Stanley and Kuhl-
man. both men pitching brilliant ball.
Kuhlman. whose best work was in the
pinches. had the edge on Stanley. the
Springwoods being unable to hit him
when hits meant runs. The visitors
put up a brilliant game in the field.
bulking the Hilltopers at every turn.
This air-tight defense. coupled with
Kuhlman's nne pitching. proved to be
a barrier impossible for the Spring-
woods to penetrate. Time and again
hard hit balls that looked like hits
were grabbed up by the Red Sox
fielders.
The Springwoods had a fine oppor-
tunity to win the game in the third
inning when a liit by Lonchak and
passes to “'illisms and Kohant filled
the bases. but Kuhlman arose to the
occasion and struck out Cole who was
playing his first game for tho Hilltop-
Cl’l.
O'Lichney, who led off in the ninth.
put the fans into an uproar when he
leaned on one of thlmau's fast ones
that looked like a triple. but it was
a foul by inches. It was the break
and the Hilltopers could do nothing
with Kuhiman's pitching after that.
The visitors won the game in the
tenth inning when Tynan hit one into
short left that Chontas just missed.
in attempting to hunt. Ellis popped
one up near third baseline that Stan-
icy missed after a hard try. Both
men advanced on Beuer’s decrlfice.
Tynan came home on Carlo's infield
hit. Dewlin scored Ellis with a
single to left.
“'illiams. the fipringwood's new
shortstop. made a big impression with
the Springwood fans wtih his fine
defense work.
