Mr. Robert Moe Levy became a

him for the bout. with \Villie Yard.

"Sucker that I am.” said Mr.

’ DISTANCE RACE
" (BEFORE
Will Run Ofi Title
Events ' Before the
Olympic Games— To
PickBest Men .,
As a. part of its campaign to pro-
duce the best athletes available for
the American Olympic team, the
Amateur Athletic Union has decided
to conduct its national junior and
senior croQ—country championship
races over the Intercollegiate Asso-
ciation of Amateur Athletes of Amer-
ica course at Van Courtland Park in
the Spring next year, instead of in
the Fall as is‘customary with the hill
and dale title events. Dates for the
events will be set either late in May
or early in June. ,.
Secretary Frederick W. Rubien of
the A. A. U., announced yesterday
that the change had been decided up-
on because of the fact that the A. A.
U.. hill-and-dale title tests had been
selected as. the decisive trials for
members of the team which will in—
vade Paris next year for the eighth
Olympic games. The senior event
will serve as the final Olympic try-
out and. as usual. will follow the
junior championship after a lapse of
one wcek.
It is felt that the adoption of this
arrangement will give America the
strongest cross-country team possible
for the European meet. The plan is
considered more advisable than the
course followed {our years ago when
the cross-country runners who made
the trip to Antwerp as members of
the American team were selected
from amoong athletes who had quali-
fied for the team in some other
events but who had previously ex-
hibited enough ability at cross-
country running to justify their selec-
Uon for the hill-and—dalc squad.
By holding the cross—country try—
outs a. few weeks before the team
sails. the committee appointed to se-
lect the crous-country runners will
have an opportunity to more closely
appraise the ability and condition of
the athlck‘s under consideration as
ellgibles for the squad.‘
"The selection of dates for the title
competitions is a matter which will
not be determined until every phase
of the situation has received careful
consideration. The desire of the A.
A. U. officials and authorities of the
American Olympic committee is to
minimize as far as possible. the num-
ber of conflicts in athletic events
many or which will be produced be-
cause the necessity for holding cham-
pionships in various sports in close
proximity to each other because of
the Olympic try-outs. As far as could
be learned yesterday the tendency is
to favor a date in May. perhaps the
second and third week in the month.
If this idea. is adopted a conflict will
be avoided with the I. C. A. A. A.
track and field championships and
the. sectional intercollegiate cham—
pionships. which generally are held
subsequent to the l. C. A. A. A. title
meet. If the cross-country competi-
tion is delayed until June. there is
danger of a. conflict with the final
track and field championships which
have been scheduled for June 13 and
14 at Cambridge. 2

Fight Fans are Anx-
ious to have Luis Try
his Luck with Dusky
Battier
Efforts are being made to arrange
a. matclr» between Luis Firpo and
Harry “1113 before Firpo tackles
Jack Dempsey again. Firpo wants
the bout held in South America and,
“'ills insists upon Sew York or the
immediate vicinity as the site of the
battleground.
Judging by the sqawks Firpo's
handlers have been letting out to the
effect that Luis did not get a square
deal in his match with Dempsey.
“'ills is wise enough in not consent-
ing to a match in South America.
The “'ills trick of holding and hit-
ting probably would get him into
plenty of trouble if he tried it on
Luis in the Argentine.
Just how they interpret the rules
in South Anterica is not knownf It
is possible that the one arm free
style of fighting goes down there. but
they might .be smart enough to
change that for l-‘irpo's benefit. \Yhen
Luis was here he learned that hold-
ing and hitting at the same time con-
stitutes a. foul. lie would he sure
to insist upon that rule being ob-
served. no matter where the bout
took place.
\l’ills is greatly hampered by the
rules in this State. He likes to clamp
his left on his. opponent's right
shouidcrblade and shoot in right
handers to the body. Over in Jersey
they allow that sort of thing. so
\Vills would rather tight there than
fight in the Garden. He is soyafraid
of being disqualified that he would
rather take. less money and be al-
lowed to use his natural style of
milling.
“'ills does not intend to fight foul.
Harry is as clean cut a sportsman as
there is in boxing. But it comes
natural for him to hold and hit at
the same time. They allow that in
other parts of the country and “'ills
has become so accustomed to doing
it that he is lost when compelled to
abandon his favorite tactics.
Probably this talk of matching Fir-7
pa with “’iils is merely part of the
ballyhoo for the next Dempsey-Firpo
match. like the belated squawks

would be the hight of foolishness.
and It is the business angle that
governs the making of all big match-
Firpo probably would have less
es.
chance with “'ilis than he would
have with Dempsey. Dempsey is an
easy mark for a right hand. Luis
proved that he could hit the cham-
pion without any trouble. and that
gives the South American 8. chance
no matter how badly he may be out-
clasaed in other respects.
“'ills is a ringwise master
a
who
knows enough to get away from
a
righthander. It would take him
longer to beat Firpo that it took
Dempsey, but the result probably
would be just as sure. Firpo does
not know endigh about the game to
beat a. man as good as “'ills is sup-
posed to be.
However. it would be decidedly in-
teresting to see what would happen
if Luis did happen to land a few on
Harry's rather frail looking jaw. In
the Far “'est the belief is current
that “'ills cannot stand punishment
They have seen him in trouble often
and they have seen him knocked out.
Here in the East the fans know
nothing about Harry's ability to stand
up under fire. It is many years since
he fought any one here who was not
the easiest kind of a. mark. The
memhe meets enter the ring with a
‘what's the use" sort of feeling. They
lack the heart to take a real earnest
shot at him. That makes it very
easy for‘Hari-y. who does not have
eluding Harvard. Cornell and other
powerful foes.
