Jack Dempsey is a case in point.

improvement in the Sacramento

As a matter of fact, some even
argue that without Harry Wolter the
Yippers are now weaker than they
were when the sultry outfielder wore
a iip uniform. Wolter was traded to
Seattle for Compton. Coropton hit .294
last season, but Is neither the hitter
nor the fielder that Wolter is, and
that is not saying much for Wolter
in the fielding department. Wolters
batting average, however, was .329.

Wolter, else he never would have con

Fighter Who Has "Goat" of Jack
Dempsey and Who Has Beaten
Him to Appear Here. .
BY RICHARD R, SHARP.
Willie Meehan, roly-poly San Fran
cisco heavyweight and erstwhile con
queror of Jack Dempsey, heavyweight
champion of the world, will battle ten
rounds against Hugh Walker of Kan
sas City in the ten-round main event
of the Milwaukie boxing commission's
show at the Milwaukie arena March
17.
In the days of the private promoters
and up to the present time many at
tempts have been made to sign Mee
han to box here, but none were ever
successful. The San Francisco heavy
weight is the enignma of the squared
circle and the boxing freak of the
decade
"Fat" Willie started boxing in 1912
as a bantamweight and rapidly took
on weight until he crowded the scales
at 215 pounds. He is nearly as wide
as he is tall and is endowed with a
style of boxing all of his own. He
enters the ring looking as fat and as
out of condition as a boxer could pos
sibly be and he then proceeds to step
around like a lightweight and go
any distance with apparent ease.
Meehan is the one man who has Jack
Dempsey's "goat" in the ring. Many
of them now have Jack's "goat" out
side the ring, but it is Meehan who
holds the Indian sign on the "clouded"
champion inside the hempen square.
Meehan has met Dempsey liiree times
and on the. last two occasions beat
the champion every round. Their
final bout was a four-round affair In
