WILLS SIGHT TO THE
TUT JACKSON, OF
(By Charles F. Mathlsou.)
Tut Jackson, the Ohio Cinclnnatus
who left his plow In tho Buckoyo
State with the avowed object of elimnating
Harry Wills of New Orleans as
a rival of Jack Dempsey, made a sa\
failure of his attempt at Ebbets Fieiu
last Tuesday night when Wills knock
od him ont in the third round of a one
s?ded contest.
Jacksdn demonstrated early in the
first round that he was little more
Uwui a novice. He was in a condition
of terror from the time ho first got a
glimpse of Wittl'M huge form until ht?
curled up on the canvas, completely
knocked out in 2 minutes and 5 seconds
of tho third sessions.
Wills dropped Jackson for a couit.
or eight In the first round and probably
would have stopped him In that
round but for a campaign of strenuous
clinching inaugurated by Jackson to
avoid punishment) and continued up
to the time ho received the knockout
punch.
The terrific hitting powers of Jaqk
son on which his manager dilated fail
ed to materialize. As a, matter of fact
Jackstm failed to laud a single blow
with any force behind It.
JACKSON USES ROUGH TACTICS.
Jacksqn and his managers had previously
to tlio bout expressed the fear
that Wi41s would employ l'oul tactics.
Then to the astonishment of the on
lookers Jackson gave an exhibition oi
foul fighting that seldom has been
seen in a New York ring. In that reL<non(

him like a long lost brother, fit.
clamped his arms 011 "Wilia's gloves
and (lie big fellow had .the greatest
dilllculty in keeping his hands cleat
so as to do any effective hitting. I
Tho colored champion, howovei,
whi'lo in the clutches of his opponent
managed to inflict considerable punishment
on the body and so wcakencu
Jackson that when his Jaw was reach
ed ho fell an easy victim.
Tut Jackson will now rcfturn to his
farm ait Washington Court House,
OWo and reengage in peacoful agrlcu..
tural pursuits.
Chairman Muldoon of tho boxing
commission was considerably annoyed
by the misleading statements sent out
by Jackson's handlers as to his woight
and figliting qualifications. It was
said in advanco that Jackson weighed
200 nournls. was a terrlfln hitter anu
a desperate fighter. On the contnry
he proved to bo without nny fighting
spirit whatever, devoid of boxing
skill nnd without any hitting power.I
Mr. Muldochi intimated that he^

JACKSON ENTERS RING FIRST
Tut Jackson entered the ring first
hut declined to sit in his corner. Ho
stood up and assisted the master of
the ring in spreading the rosin duel.)
Jackson stood up facing his own cor,
nor. He never turned his head when
Wills entered tho ring.
Wills started ovor to Jackson's cor
uer to give liim tbo hypnotic eye. 13ut.
Jackson never looked around and liar
ry, with a look of scorn on his featui
?s, returned to his own corner.
Jackson looked like a man who had
. seen a ghost, lie trembled could hard
ly hold himself btcady while the camera
was taking tho men in boxing

Will prove a stout opponent for Jack
Dempsoy when they meet for thu
heavyweight championship of the:
world.
Some seotw to think that Wills
should have disposed of "Tut" nioro
handily and moro artistically, but
it must be remombered that '"Tut"
not only couldn't fight, but wouldn't
fight, and it Is not always an easy
job to quickly dispose of a man whose
sole idea is pulling and hauling.
Dempsoy used to have his troubles
with Willie Moehan, not bccauso Willie
was a good fighter, but because ho
wouldn't fight. Any fighter wi,ll toll
you that it is eabier to make a show*
ing against a good opponent than
against a Joe Mageo.
Tho suggestion has been made tha
Wills should now meet one of tha
whito men In tho heavyweight dlvls*
ion as a further test but it seemo to
us this is unnecessary, unless Willi,
desires. Ho Is formally signed to meet
Dempsoy and t1?e Dempsey-Wills arfair
will take place as soon as It ca*
be properly organglzed.
It seems to us that Wills's style of
milling has been rather unjustly erU?
clsed. Some seem to think that it is a
foul style bocauso Harry has a h'iek
of clamping his left hand under an op
ponont's shoulder and yanking him to
him while belting away with lila
right
Wo doubt if Dem'ipsey will ever off
er an objection io this method, because
it Is water on Dempsey's wheel.
Dempsey is a great body punclror, and
he could hardly ask anything better
than to have an opponent pull hfm In
Wo should think the man apt to bother
Dempsey most is the follow who
keeps away from) him.
Wills nlso whacks nn onnoimnt on
the back of the neck with the so-calied
"rabbit puncl>." This punch li?
Dempsoy's dwn. Then, too, Harry
loves to hammer his right agafhist ?
man's back in the region of the kidneys,
but wo doubt if the damago don?
by this punch, ospccialiy to a well con
ditioned rann, ia very aorious.
It must not be forgotten that, a
go<fcl opponent may bo doing something
to WJills while Ilarry Is executing
all his various tricks.
"Tut" Jackson was a mere sack of
meal in tho hands of the powerfm
Harry.. He could toss him around ai
will. An inspection of Wills' record,
however, faLla to disclose tlKit he
hnaidled such' men as Jack Thompson

iund ouhers in similar fashion.
Wills has changed his stylo mater
ially in the last fow years. Seven ? .
oight years ago ho hud a good left J
I hand, and would slash away with ?. i
I as bo stopped and moved around. He
had fine foot action. I
l Now ho seoms to U30 his left mora
as an anchor and his foot-work is
largely a bound at his opponent to en
ablo him to hook with the loft. I
In a State that stands for Harry i
Greb, however, wo decline to admit, '
that Wills'e Btylo Is foul. And when |
tho timo comes, wo do not bellovo that
you will find Jack Deinpsey offering '
tho slightiest criticism of it. M
As wo have said, we do not think. I
it necessary for Wills to further demonstrate
his ability by taking on some !
white man, unless it is Wills's wish.
Jack Kearns put Wills in tho wa>
of a lot of money when ho signed for
Dempsoy to meet him, and tho Brown '

doos not claim that Floyd is what oM 1
Sam Ijingford used to calla "devasticatin'

Floyd is as big as Widls ill every way
just as strong, a better boxer, and has I
eourago, and that In a limited rouna
contest ho thinks Johnson would make
a better sUowing than any of Wills" s
r?<cont opponents.
Johnson is the Iowa boy developed
