J*islocated Rib Said
th« Improving; Boxers
u Impressive Sunday
In Fast Workouts
By ALAN J. OOI'LD
(Associated Pres* Sports Editor.)
MIAMI BEACH, Fla . Feb. 25.—
0P>—By way of adding another fan
tastic touch to thia strangest of fis
tic affairs, it may be told in detail
today how a displaced rib came
close to dislocating the Stribhng
Sharke.v heavyweight bout from its
• expensive moorings.
"W. L. will be in there to fight
Sharkey If we haw to take him up
the aisle in a wheel chair, but we
won't need to. W. L. will be in
shape to give Sharkey the fight of
his life."
Thus did "Pa" Stripling conclude
his descriptions of an iniury that
"W. L” met In training four days
ago and which came close to up
setting completely the carefully laid
plans for the ten-round match to a
referees decision, this Wednesday
f night
The essentials now are that Strib
ling. in fonts of several days of
acute pain from the rib Injury, is
Frenounced by physicians as fully
it to fight; that there will be no
necessity to try to substitute Paulino
Uacudun or any one else for the
southerner; or face a possible post
ponement , but there have been a
flock of anxious moments for the
Principals as well as Pron *rr .Tack
V Dempsey
"A The absorbing angle to the srrib
ling rib story is what effect it will
'have on the southern idol s chances,
/he erstwhile Georgia school bov’s
following has been strong in spite
of the somew’hat general belief
among the assembled critics that
Bharkev has the best chances to
win. The prospects now point to a
alight lengthening of odds in Shar
keys favor.
Both fighters were as impressive
in their last strenuous drills yes
terday as they have been at any
time but there was no mistaking
the advantage to which Sharkey
showed. The Boston sailor works
and punches with utmost confi
dence He has weight and greater
experience in faster companv in his
favor. There seems nothing lacking
In his physical equipment or mental
attitude. Stribling, more nervous
and more inclined to do the unex
pected. appears strong, even though
a bit drawm and hollow cheeked.
There Is no mistaking the danger
In his right hand.
Contrary to previous announce
ments the fight program will be
broadcast over a network of stations
by the National Broadcasting com
pany. The main bout is scheduled
for ten p. m.

What: Thirty-eight rounds of

When: Eighty-thirty p. m.
Where: Fort Brown skating
sink.
Another card in the rebuilding of
the fight game here will be run off
at the Fort Brown skating rink to
night with the best main event yet
slated drawing Valley-wide atten
tion.
Dick Wymore. dapper young La
Feria farmer who had rather raise
uppercuts than truck, is to punch it
out with Battling Shaw, clever La
redo and San Antonio featherweight
in the ten-round attraction. Shaw
holds a close decsion over Wymore
and the La Feria flash is reported
as itching to wipe out the stain of
his defeat.
Dick has been training religious
ly at the San Benito Athletic club,
lor Shaw is the only thing between
him and the mythical title “Valley
champion." Wymore sported this
cognomen for some time—but that
was prior to Shaw's debut in this
section. The Laredo feather is one
of the cleanest fighters operating in
south Texas. One of his most pleas
ing qualities is that he avoids
clinches. He has beaten everything
in his class here.
Panrhn Boot
Another factor that will urge both
of the battlers to full steam tonight
Is that the winner has been tenta
tively offered a Valley bout with
Kid Pancho. Pancho is a box-of
fice drawing card de luxe and a win
over him would add considerable
prestige to either Shaw or Wvmore.
The 8-round semi-final should
prove a slam-bang affair, for Hom
er Goodman, local favorite, will at
tempt to discredit the 16 straight
knockouts held by his opponent
Jesus 8olis of Saltillo. Mexico. Good
man Is not the jaded professional,
but a local boy with lots of experi
ence who still has pride in his af
fairs of the ring. He has been train
ing thoroughly at the skating rink
for the past two weeks in prepara
tion for the bout.
Solis blew In Saturday afternoon
for his first fight In the United
States. He is extremely popular In
northern Mexico and has high
hopes of winning his fight here.
Johnnie Martines, 144 #ound San
Benito rubber man. is to mix it uc
with Paul Seidels, 143 pounds ol
Minneapolis, in a six round event
Martinez pleased the fans with hi?
lively antics in the ring and he hai
yet to lose a bout here. Seidels come?
here with a good reputation, having
met some of the best boys in the
Great Lakes region, friends say.
Guerra at Crisis
Kid Guerra, 130 pound San Be
nito leather slinger, faces a crisii
In his yet unrtopped pugilistic drive
in a six-round fracas with Ken Ma
cey. 128 pounds of Harlingen. Macey
Is one of the best known battler?
In this section and a win over him
would definitely establish the San
Benito 'rooster.” Guerra holds three
straight knockouts at present.
Two four-round bouts will open
the card. These are Kid Saenz, 13(1
pounds of Mercedes, vs. Young Za
**!»■1 *32 Pound* of Brownsville and
•!? 122 pound* of Browns
Vine vs. Kid Lupe. 122 pounds of
San Benito.
All seats have been numbered
and ushers employed. Promoter Tex

no seat mixups. The promoter also
announced that school boys would
be admitted to the general admis
sion at a cut rate price.
The 12th cavalry band will dis

FORT WORTH. Feb 25.—The
consensus of editorial comment over

Francis A. Schmidt to take over the
athletic reins at T.C. U. seems to be
that the Purple Institution has been
pxtremely fortunate In signing the
veteran coach Sports writers’ over

Thirty-eight rounds of boxing;
the best known and most popular
boxers in the Valley are on the card.
Dick Wymore and Battling Shaw
are the headliners, being scheduled
to step 10 three minute rounds. That
fight in itself, should and undoubt

from all parts of the Valley.

A new fighting man to Valley
fans will appear on the program
tonight, he is Jesos Solis, 14*
pound scrapper of Saltillo. Mexico,
and he will take on Homer (Kid)
Goodman, in an 8-round setto.
Solis comes to this city backed by
a reputation of a fighting man
from the time the gong sounds

last time during a figiHe will
have a worthy opponent in Good

kind of fighter, and may not

When the state of Florida was 1
having its well known boom of sev- |
eral years ago, citizens of that com
monwealth and the newcomers pour
ing in. forgot all about sports, and
with nothing in mind but to sell and
re-sell property, they dropped In
athletic notoriety, especially of the
winter kind. They suffered for It.
You know what that boom did for
the Gator state. Ask any citizen
of Florida what helped cause that
catastrophe, and he will invariably
tell you it was to a great extent the
neglect of athletics.
* * •
Today Florida Is the mecea for
sports, and especialy big league
baseball clubs. They have a state
league and some of its cities are
members of the Southeastern lea
gue. They have other kinds of
recreation, too, but it Is baseball
we are wont to bring before you
today. There Is no good reason
whv the Valley can’t support a
professional league; it wiu mean
the incoming of a class of people
the Valley needs; those with the
dinero, and those of the better
class. The tourists wants recrea
tion. and on a sunny afternoon
nothing pleases him more than a
good old baseball game.
• • •
Yes. we can profit from Florida's
mistake. They forgot their God,
their fellow men around them, their
welfare; they forgot the essential
thing the American demands, and
that is sports; forgot all about base
ball, golf, tennis, and all the other
and excellent forms of entertain
ment—except grabbing and grab
bing money here ana there, fn a
wild, mad scramble; with no
thought of recreation—and baseball
in this can. particular. But they
changed—changed overnight, and
the Valley is going to change—
sooner or later in its attitude toward
sports. Maybe this turn-about face
will take place today, tomorrow—but
some day it will—and when it does
just watch the land of sunshine
show its heels to those other states
getting the millions of dollars* worth
of publicity free (in the sports
columns of newspapers all over the
country.)

O. N. Boston and Boh Wells of
Brownsville, appointed a commit
tee by Chairman Guy Trent of the
baseball gathering in this city
last week, arc to make a deter
mined effort this week to organ
ize a Class D league In the Valley.
It Is op to every fan and citizen
of the valley to give these fellows
a helping hand; it is an expensive
undertaking, being underwritten
by a handful of fans of Cameron
county. If Hidalgo fans have a
better plan, or know of a better
one than that being presented,
then the committee. Chairman
Trent and the baseball fans of
Cameron rotmty want to know
about it, and will join In; bat the
plan being submitted Is the ana
and Identical plan of the Nebras
ka State league, which operates
successfully, on a 11500 per month
salary basis; the Valley can sap
rt that kind of baseball; It may
that next year the league can
expand; but it la a worth while
experiment; yea, more than that.
It Is one of the finest things that
could happen to the Valley if a
league Is organised.
Here’s what the San Benito Light
has to say. in a recent issue, of
Valley baseball;
"Baseball of a high calibre is an
other sport that valley residents
probably will be privileged to enjoy
as soon as a result of plans for a
Class D league that are progressing
satisfactorily. Two men have been
delegated to devote their entire time
to communicating with interested
persons in upper Valley towns and
determine exactly the outlook for
such an organization. Response
which the proposition has met with
so far indicates that the Valley this
season will support a baseball league
that would reflect credit upon a
group of much larger cities.”

ALL BETS OFT BUNT TITLE
CHANGES HANDS
All bets are declared off by the
New York commission! That was
the surprising announcement made
to the fans at Madison Square Gar
den before Jack Britton and Mickey
Walker climbed into the ring for
their title about at New York on
Nov. 1. 1922.
Whether or not everything was
not as it should have been appar
ently had little effect on the fight,
as the youthful Walker gave the
aged Britton a terrific lacing for 15
rounds.
Walker, Just coming up the pu
Kistic ladder at this time, scored
ockdowns in the second, sixth,
tenth and twelfth rounds. He could
not put Britton away, but on these
four occasions he had the veteran
champion flat on the canvas.
At only one period of the fight
—between the third and the sixth—
rounds—did Britton show any of his
heralded ability. In this brief peri
od he easily outboxed Walker.
Prom the sixth to the finish, how
ever. Jack was merely a punching
block for the Toy Bulldog. Mickey
hit Jack with everythin; hecom
manded. but the oid fellow always
had enough reserve to hang on.
Alleged reports that Britton was
to lose his title was said to have
caused the commission to issue the
order calling off all beta

Contender for the World Heavy

Chapter Nine
One of your greatest American!
heavyweights of many years ago
(Herr Jim Jeffries, I think it was)
is told of once having said that
boxing champions never “come
baek,T as you call winning again
a title lost in a fight.
I did. I came back” after hav-!
ing been knocked out by Qypsy i
Daniels.
My first fight after the Daniels
defeat waa with Ted Moore, a very
good British fightor. I defeated
him. That made me feel fine but
not too confident
I continued to train vigorously
and then one day surprised my
manager. Herr Bulow. by demand
ing:
"Get me a fight with Franz Die
ner!”
Bulow, my manager, was surpris
ed, but he went into negotiations
with Dtener, who accepted.
I can imagine how Dlener felt.
So this young upstart Schmeling
wanted to fight him, eh? Wen and
good, young Max must be taught a
lesson
At the time. Diener was heavy
weight champion of Germany and
tne idol of Berlin fight fans. He
had gone to the United States and
had fought important battles there.
I do not suppose any Berlin fight

■I knew that now I must fight as I
had never fought before. If Diener
knocked me out never again would
come the chance to go to America
and fight for the world's champion
ship
As we entered the ring spectators
cheered both of us—rrans the
champion and "klelne Max.” Uttle
Max. who though outweighed by 15
pounds dared meet the leading
fighter of his country.
In the very first round I broke
bones in my right hand. I was
afraid then I would soon be defeat
ed. I surely would have been if
Franz had discovered my Injury
So I faked hard blows with the in
jured hand and hit with the other.
At the end of 15 rounds I was
awarded the decision.
I forgot the broken hand in the
Joy of merriment. I was heavy
weight champion of Germany! Now
I had a right t* go to America and
test myself with the great fighters
in the United States.
Everywhere in Germany I was
hailed as a hero I bought a big

was called "Movie Star Wanted.”
