He's coin; to battle Jimmy Sacco of Boston in the 10-round main event next Friday' night and it promises to be a "whale" of a setto. There' doesn't seem to be any love lost between the two and each has ambitions of some day wearing the lightweight champion ship crown of the world. Sacco has gained quite a following since his ar rival In the Rose City and Benjamin si ways has been known for his. wicked right. Joe came to town Srlday night from Los 'Angeles where he put away Mahoney in the first round. The boy from Kearns stable has ex pressed a desire to do road work for the Sacco match and he's not going to take any chances of finding himself out of condition for Friday night's contest. From all accounts he held a light work out yesterday but the next three or four days will find him going through strenuous sessions with sparring part ners galpre. Captain Harry Hansen, matchmaker for the Portland commission, hasn't announced what the support card will be but he won't have to do very much more to attract the "cash customers" to the box office.

Bout Between Dempsey and WillsMayBeHeldinOctober By VTestbrook Feglsr . TJoitad Kis Staff CorrMpondant TVTEW YORK, Sept. 9. Forbidden to i fight anyone but Harry Wills in New York, and almost to fight Wills. Jack Dempsey has backed into a situa tion in which he finds his world's title about as useful as a fork to a ball player. Younsr Mr. Dempsey. therefore, has .reformed bis money manners and as sumed the attitude of -an ambitious young fellow doing the best he can. willing to fight the toughest opponent they can pick for him, and thankful for minor favors. STABTS TKATSrXG Dempsey expects to fight somebody in New York this fall, find therefore has been training. The beginning was a 30 minute workout Friday afternoon in the stifling atmosphere of Still man's gymnasium, a block -from Broadway, a big place with a church like hirh interior, crowded with a con gregation of taxi drivers, sprouting youngsters ul lata wevL&uio n - ternlty and the class of cap-wearing young social lights of the upper west sides known generally as "the boys." - Dempsey posed for a photographic panorama, yanked the weights, bull dozed his shadow,, tickled his shoulder blades with his toes and boxed three, flsty rounds with Jack Thomson, a straight haired, coffee colored member of the colored heavyweights mutual benefit society. Jack Kearns said the champion was In such shape that he would be ready to fight in a week, whereat the gents in waiting at the Court of Saint Jack all grasped the rail and called merrily for more ear sap aril ia. E1KD TKAIXnrG SEEDED Mr. Kearns gay burlesquerie, in dis cussing the fight, and especially the terms, is keeping Broadway in a. light some humor and people no longer care whether If s the heat or the humidity. If Dempsey can get ready in a week, then Adam was seventh eon, and Carrie Nation ran a cabaret. Jack is . wide In - the middle, and wadded out all over with a distributed thickness which doesn't make him look exactly fat. but certainly gives him no strong resemblance to the hardened, fine drawn athlete who slugged that young French movie actor at Jersey City. Jack will need' to train up his speed before he fights Harry Wills, but he has a month In which to do it, and that would be ample time. The champion gave Jack Thomson a , card to the morgue as soon as they got TVT SPATTLDINO has suceeded Dr. ,VV F. L. Williams as football coach at the University of Minnesota.

SACCO FRIDAY 3 - started. He whacked the brown boy on the left ribs with a moaning right smash that bent him out of shape, and then laid in with both big arms purap ing against Thompson's belt line. They were terrific, hurtful punches, but this Thomson is unusually game and dur able, and he banged Jack, on the. lips with a right bander pulled clear from the docks. NAMES HIS PRICE . Jack shook his head, pumped a steaming jab into Thomson's face, opened up and shot over a right smash to the Jaw which knocked the negro ir responsible on his feet. Thomson was out for half-a mimite, but didn't fall, and Dempsey let him wrestle till his head cleared. The negotiations for the fight . are alive and tingling now, and the match stands a strong chance of being wrapped up next week. Kearns said he and Dempsey came here to do busi ness because they need the proceeds. They can do business with only one fighter in this state, Harry Wills. "We aren't asking a half million dol lars at all," said Mr. Kearns, in a tone which Indicated that they would be glad to get half that much. "Alt we want is a fair share. They .offer us 37 per cent of the receipts at. the Polo grounds, which would give us $400,000 and S123.OO0. That would be very nice, but the promoters would get more than $500,000 for themselves. They aren't risking any title and we are ; therefore we ought to get more than anyone else.. But we came here to fight, now -we'll do business. A month is plenty of time for Jack to get ready. OCTOBER DATE LIKELY Except in minor details, the Repub lic A. C, which has the fight privilege at the Polo grounds, is willing to com ply with the wellnigh impossible con ditions imposed this week by William Muldoon of the athletic commission for the government of this bout. Most Im portant, the Republic A. C professes willingness to give the . $250,000 de manded by the commission. The com mission demands 40,000 seats be set aside at $3 each. The .Republic offers to provide half that number at $2 and 10.000 more at $5. or lees.. Wills has signed with the Republic to accept 12 per cent. The Republic wants the fight for Oc tober 12 or 14. As there is nobody else left for Dempsey to fight, he and Kearns are now listening to reason and the Jingle of promised change. r fTTHE favoriate shots and strokes X which are most useful to crack lawn tennis, players Include ; Til den backhand shot ; Richards- shoulder high volley ; Johnston forehand drive ; Wallace Johnson forehand - slice to opponents back hand; Patterson--the service ace : OfHara Woodoffensive volley ; Borotra ankle high- volleys near net.

Shibe Park, Philadelphia Ibleachers will be enclosed with screens! In 192$, Boxing Is One Enemies Are By Talr Flay. ! (Copyright. 1932, by Tbe Jotmul) IN ONLY one great major! sport' is an enemy an asset. A prizefighter who haa many enemies is thereby ren dered as great a drawing card as one who has many friends and iroany of the ornaments of the squared jcircle are capitalizing that fact. Outside of a natural love of a scrap, inherent in every American, fight fans clink large gobs of hard earned coin on the ticket windows of the fight clubs for two reasons to see a certain man win or to see him licked. They are partisans, as is every follower of ama teur or professional sport, j and like other partisans, they let their feelings run away with them. THIRD BATEBS OVERLOOKED No man can tell, as a general rule, what wins a man friends or enemies in the ring. The dividing line may be the color of his -bathrobe, the turn of his head or the way he spits, but every top-notcher in sport makes both friends and enemies unconsciously. A third rater may have friends but be has no enemies among the fans. He is not worthy enmity. I .-- "However, when sufficient fight goers acquire a dislike of a fighter and are serious enough about It to want to see him tumbled for a row offBbuddist temples, he becomes a drawing card and his manager buys a newj diamond. Even the most popular of the present day boxers cultivate this side of their drawing power. Many a cocky and egotistical statement from a training camp Is issued for the sole purpose of arousing a desire in the breasts of those who read or hear It to see the maker thereof ' reclining under the swinging arm of a referee whose arith metical agility ranges between 1 and 10. Jack Dempsey is tbe greatest pugU' isto drawing card In the world today, but the fight w!Qt Carpentier was the "battle of the century solely because a large percentage of the fans who f swarmed over Boyle's all acres at from $10 to $30 a swarm bad a sneaking hope not an expectation that the French man would cop the championship. Many wut go. to a Dempsey-wins match for the cam reason. WAKT TO SEE HIM BEATEN Next to Dempsey, Benny ! Leonard, the lightweight king. Is the prise money attracter and there never has been a fight et that Benny did bet" crawl through tbe ropes to a muttered ac companiment of "I hope be gets his can tarn off." Each of these fighters, of course, has bis equally violent ad herents. That is what makes prize fights and horse races and bank ac counts for the canny fighters. : ' Jimmy vBritt. tbe great San Fran cisco lightweight, probably drew more money in at the gate from enemies than any professional fighter that ever lived.

Therefore be has won well over a third of the Athletics' victories and has lost considerably fewer than one fifth of all the games they have lost. Any man who can win 19 for the Athletics of 1922 has earned his trans fer to the Red Sox and pretty prompt release to the Yankees. Edwin Amerlcus should arrive In New York during the mid-winter trading; season. Tbe kid is overdue. Sport Where a Real Asset flage for alderman, could well afford those adornments, but Jimmy had to fight every time he passed tne corner of Third and Howard streets when be had them on. Be Is said that be never ducked a battle and seldom lost a collar. As he, grew into young manhood. Jimmy joined the Olympic Athletic club, which was not only the first real home of amateur boxing but which carried the hall mark of the socially elect. Jim my was the Idol of the Olympic club crowd, but he was the pet antipathy of the boys he grew up with in the "Mis sion." BKITT LIVED TOO 8003T Consequently, when he entered the ring as a professional, and one of the best of his time, he always bad -one crowd rooting for him to win and an other praying that bis opponent would murder him. If Jimmy rfad lived in these days of business fighters, he would have amassed a bank roll that would have made the mint green with envy, '. .. , In one of bis last battles, however, Jimmy won over all bis enemies, al though he lost his reputation and took the loser's end of the purse doing it. Jimmy was what they called a "cream puff fighter south of the slot, and there was doubt as to whether he could "take It.- ' . . He had a great left band and with It he could keep off any opponent, even the great "Marster Joe Gana His plan of battle was to cut bis opponent to ribbons with a straight left, using his right only to block and occasion ally for a light i counter. - One day. however, while training with, a husky welterweight opponent. Jimmy cut loose with his ; unused right and dropped the welter cold for a count of about ISO. Jimmy Immediately decided in his own mind that he bad found his real vocation, which was to knock 'em stiff with a right swing or oppercut.

But that's exactly what happened to me. - --v 'j WASTED TO SHOW WELL " Before the fight began I was told that Jack Kearns and probably Jack Dempsey would be in the audience to see Just what I could show against DempseyB . former sparring I partner. Hearing that I naturally was anxious to show up as well as,, possibles When we got to the center of the ring Tom Louttit, who was1' referee, ordered clean breaks. I protested and said that I thought it would be a better fight If both Tate and myself bad to protect ourselves at all times. X pointed out that Tate was a clincher and that clean - breaks meant- be wouldn't .- do anything but clinch and clinch. "Clean breaks !f ordered Louttit, s So that's the way we fought. ! ft; ' Inthe middle of the first round I hit Tate in the body. It hurt him. He fell Into a clinch to save himself. '. When we were free X hit him n the cheek and he came Into another clinch, atag gering and wobbly. I tried to shake him off. He held on. ; CHI9T PU3TCH LAST ; Then Louttit came, between us and broke ua As he broke us in that way I hit Tate on the- chin and he went down and stayed ther. It was a long time before he regarhed oonseiousnesa Then to my surprise Louttit ruled that Tate was the winner of the fight because I had committed a foul by hit ting Tate after Louttit, by going be tween us. had broken us from a clinch.

John Hels maun, Pennsylvania coach, has need of criticism, but nevertheless he possesses real football genrus and with the assistance of Tom Davtea the chances are that he will do a great deal for the Quakers this year. - One thing should be borne "in mind by all who cannot resist the tendency to assail a coach when bis team loses and that is that the greatest coaches' chances are not much, if any, better than the quality of his material. Many an aggregation of Ctars has made a coach's reputation, a prestige that col lapses quickly enough when the stars have gone and the instructor has play ers of mediocre ability with which to work. s Of course a thoroughly competent coach can do more with a green eleven than a coach whose ability runs from gridiron mentors cannot make bricks without straw, aiore wan one loot ball Instructor this coming season who has been known in past years has been blessed with fine material and as a consequence has been riding high, will find himself down to brass tacks this year and it will be Interesting to see what they make of their problems.

Then Wills half turned Tate around, by catching one of hla elbows, and, holding him with one band stepped In and delivered a smash to tbe Jow. , - - TATE WAS BASED . Tate dropped, dazed, but not knocked out. and looked at me to see what I would do. The foul was so palpable that I at once picked Tate up and raised his band as the victor. The bout cost Wills the so-called negro heavy weight title. WiUa looked like a rank amateur. In the second bout.' fought one week later. I called the bout a draw because Wills bad done most of tbe leading and bad been the aggressor, although he had net landed a clean blow and bad been outboxed, outhlt aad eutmaneuv ered by Tate. X believe Tate could have scored a knockout any t4meafter the seventh round. . Tate proved himself to be Wills' mu ter in every department of the game, better In .footwork, cleaner In his hit ting, surer of his distance and. above all, shrewder and more deliberate in his head work. Wills, never displayed any of the qualities of a champion. WmGIeim Warner Be Able to Control PilVs Grid Sqtiad? rrtHE working out of the football alt X nation at Pittsburg this fall will be unusually Interesting. First, there is not the best of feeling there toward Glenn Warner, the coach, .because of bis acceptance or a contract wju in land Stanford which begins as soon as his agreement with Pittsburg expires. There la not the allghtest doubt that Warner will give to Pitt the best he bas ; so the only coaching problem re lates to his moral influence ever the men under hiriv A coach has to have not only ability to teach football.' but that magnetic something aa regards personality that makes men willing to work for him to the last drop of the hat. Without this, a coach la in a poor way. Indeed. Pitt will have to play without the service of Stein, the greater center, who has been graduated, and Tom Davles, one of the great backfleld men in foot ball. His loss is serious. For many a time Tom has pulled Pitt out of tbe fire. Harmon, the fine tackle. Is also gone and four or five good player are said te be tn the scholastic mire. ' All In all.
