There It one man on the
Pacific coast who keepe alive
the memories of tlie Illustrious
old timers of the boxing world,
tin Is Tim UcClrath ot ean
Kranclseo, and In hla acrap
book unrivalled even by the
book full nf remtnim-ence fos
tered by Klamath Kails' 9am
my Gordon titer are. atorlea
picked up bark In tha fory
old days of John L.
While Mcf.rath lives heavily
In the naet, he Is by no means
unaware of tha fighting devel
opments of today. McOratb
was once a treat fighter him
aelf, and pulled on the glovee
at the ancient Cremorne thea
ter where such state stars aa
John Drew and Nat Ooodwln
war apectatora. Kara time
he finished a bout he mad
a habitual little speech to his
followers, aayinf, "And. ladies
and gentlemen, I could bare
foufht a whole lot better It I
wasn't so hungry.-
Usually hla humor brought
on a buret of laughter and a
ahower of colna, but one a
stale loaf of bread wa beared
into the rtng. And. aa th
etory goes, McGrath complete
ly lost hi appetite after that,
and turned to managing and
porta writing.
e
Thli tale ot Tim McOrath
la not ao remote to Klamath
Falls as It appears. When
XIcGrath quit the ring he be
came Interested In vry young
boxer who showed possibilities,
and right bar la an ambition
fighter who claims Tim Mc
Grath a his manager.
This youngster. Frankl
Monroe, will appear on Herb
Owen' tight program at the
Legion hall next Monday night.
- e e
Herb Owen has an enormous
capacity for condensing a
week' work Into a couple ot
days, Owen arrived In Klam
ath rails Sunday, bringing
with him th description of
his Initial boxing promotion
for th Klamath Falla commis
sion, and than left Tuesday to
go to work oa his weekly Fri
day night card at Eugene.
Herb will be back again Sun
day to finish oft tha last of
the pre-fight arrangements,
e e
There is no use baring
wrestling and boxing In Klam
ath Falls unless they become
both high class buslnesa as
well as high clasa entertain
ment. The finances of ath
letic adventures hers has been
unsatisfactory, and so, after
all. It may be sn excellent
thing old obligations can bs
wiped out with the start of th
new regime. Th boxing com
mission has been partly reor
ganised, a brand new promo
ter haa been installed, and a
fresh group ot fighters will
show In the Legion hall ring.
On ot th first announce
ments of the commission mad
through Owen was th reduc
tion of th pass Hat. There
will be' a 50 per cant ent In
the complimentary tickets, and
that should mesn plenty In
the re-establishment of boxing
and wrestling as profitable un
dertakings. To counter th cnt In pastas
th admission price hare been
slashed. Th Legion hall is
open to every pocketbook.
e e e
One optimistic pugilistic en
thusiast from Colorado haa
Just about decided to make bis
home in Klamath Falls. If
Pete Becker, the whit boy
from th Rocky Mountains, can
defeat the tough Chief Thomas,
blood-thirsty Indian from Co
oullle. he will stick right her
and meet all comers,
e e
Roy Craft, aportlng editor
ot the Register-Guard at Eu
gene, is thoroughly convinced
ot Herb Owen's promoting abil
ity and sagacity. Craft writes:
"Toll Snell-Ambrote match
la one we've been wanting for
Eugene aa the boys fought
here before. Owen gave them
a good spot on bia last En
gene fight card, and they bat
tled through six slugging
rounds and finally ended In a
draw. Neither ia a boxer.
They're fighters and stand toe
to toe when they get in the
ring.
"I think Klamath Falla will
like Herb Owen. Here In Eu
gene we're glad to learn of hit
being made promoter. With
two good fight towns In which
to stage cards, he ahould be
able to get the best available
talent."

Only Vnbeaten World'a Champion
(Written for th lolled lree)
NEW YORK. Jan. i 0J.R)
While the sports axiom that
"they never come back' la true
In most case. Jack Demptey 17
year old and out of th ring
for four veare haa better than
an even chance of becoming the
first world heavyweight cham
pion to regain th till.
For that matter Demptey
really won back hla till IB 1117
even though Refere Dave
Barry'a lnfamoua "long count"
robbed him ot hla just deserts.
When, and It. Dempsey knocks
out Max Schmellng. In th
opinion of , many ring mn it
will be th third lime that he
ha won th championship.
Jack Still Yoang
Dempsey'e comeback attempt
cannot be' compared to those of
other champions. Dempsey at
17 ia a younger man by five
year than waa John L. 8ulllvan
when he waa 14 and met defeat
at the hands of Jsme J. Cor
bett. Th different lit led by th
two men will have Ita effect. In
Sullivan's day there were no
gymnasiums In every city and
the only exercise he had tor 10
yeara waa hoisting glasses.
Dempaey, alnce the day he first
put on the glove, always haa
had a gymnasium available and
haa don a bit of work vry
day.
Two Liabilities
Two things will tak tight
ability away from any man.
They are:
Fat on the Inside which takes
wind away. In training to re
move that, a fighter weakena
some other part of hla system.
Laying off and not fighting
regularly the real cause ot
Dempsey'i first defeat by Tun
ney. Dempsey never got fat on the
inside and la honest to himself
and the public In what he la do
ing today. Going through the
sticks, meeting all romera and
knocking them out with 10 and
11 ounce glove ia giving Demp
aey a chance to regain his form.
