ON j- I XS ii i I i Regarding Brick Bats The knockers, like the poor, we have with us always. "What line of sporting endeavor is there but what has a superabundance of knockers and destructive critics? Yes, we have them, and on all sides, and in lines of human work. Brick bats, it appears, are the cheapest articles which might be used in dispensing our wrath upon those who do not suit us to the nth degree. And after the fireworks are discharged, what have we in production except for damaged goods.

Constructive criticism, on or off the sporting field, should always be invited and welcomed. It should always be offered in the proper spirit and in good grace but deliver us from that constant knocker who never sees the good work of the performer. The Other Fellow The other fellow usually has a good point or two about him some place. Sometimes we may have to hunt for these good points, but they are to be found just the same. Once having found these good points, we should commend him having such excellent qualities.

It sort of makes him feel good, and helps, in many cases, for him to pull himself together and work for further improvement. Test this theory out a time or two, and see how it works. Then bury the brick bat and the hatchet, and become a booster instead of an habitual knocker. The Art of Boosting Of course, the habit of boosting, like most other habits we mortals hold, is developed, and in most cases, not over night. "When boosting becomes an art.

it is an evidence of a long struggle against the influences of the lower regions. Once having reached the peak of perfection in this art if we get to that point of the game we have something which rightfully belongs to every good sport. The art is worth having. That which is worth having is worth fighting for. Let's get to fighting.

i NIGHT' He follows the southpaw style of fighting with his right hand and his right foot extended, and It Is a rather annoying style to beat. He is of rugged build and has enough power in his back shoulders and arms to be a good hitter, if ne knows how to get the most of his possibilities. Some supporters of Wilson have maintained that he is a good fighter and a worthy champion and that he would prove it the first time he faced a real, capaDie opponent. He will have that opportunity in his fight with Greb, but bettors are asking more than assurance from his friends that he is a real fighter. Greb has fought so much and done 60 well that every follower of the ring knows that he is one of the hardest fighters in the business to beat that is, everyone knows that he once was such a fighter.

It remains to be seen if he is as good as he was more than a year ago. Some doubts exist that is. Perhaps he willnot be hurt by making the weight, but it stands also that -he will not be benefited by it. After seeing the exhibition that Johnny Dundee gave when he was supposed to have been weakened by making weight for Eugene Criqui, good judges will be very slow in banking too much on the weight factor as a handicap to Greb. The Pittsburgh boy may not be in shape, however.

He is a rather loose liver and he has been hitting the pace during the last year. There are too many examples to show that Greb is not the one in million who can retain his effectiveness by not following the rules. Two years ago Greb would have been an overwhelming favorite to beat Wilson, and he will carry a lot of smart money with him tomorrow night, but the sen- I timent is not so much that Greb HUltllfc lO UUl UiULil wink vii I is so much superior to Wilson 3s it is that Wilson is much inferior to Greb, If the title passes, it probably will go the way of a decision. Greb is not a great puncher, and Wilson is rugged enough to stay up under some stiff pasting if ha has a heart in him, and he has BOUT I I men and he gets so used to raying it that he occasionally bursts out with "See you tomorrow" when some distinguished person is telling him that he is proud of toc privilege of meeting him. When the sheriff in Indianapolis told him he would be arrested if he knocked Joe Downey down, Firpo said, "See you tomorrow" and the sheriff thought it was a fne joke, his interpreter said.

Firpo called attention to the fact that he still had $2,300 coming to bim from Indianapolis. During this part of the conversation the interpreter remarked that Firpo was the most cold hearted person he had ever seen. Catching ft glare from Firpo's side of the room, the interpreter covered the break with, "Before the Wil-lard fight he was the only one in tho house who slept. He was not worried a bit and the others were all worked up." Firpo reads all the papers, or has them read to him, and he has a most remarkable faculty of remembering tlw rames and faces of the writers r.nd he has a hobby of checking to see what they write. He has a fine memory on all ring He can tell the round and thi kind of a punch that won every big fight for years back.

The South American thinks it is peculiar that he Is criticised for his fights against Homer Smltlf rnd Downey. "Johnny Dundee Is going to fight for a championship next week and he was beaten the other night in Philadelphia. I have not been beaten," he said. Firpo has picked up several American games including thi grand old army game of craps. Ho has one black bone and one white one.

He has all the form of a first class shot, but he ha3 not mastered the intricacies of snapping his huge fingers. When. 1 attention was called to a previous statement that Firpo did not. gamble, his friends explained! "that is is not gambling he al-f ways wins." LEGION TEAMS WILL COMPETE Plain field-Elizabeth Team ay No ISf ex Season -0- "With the present "baseball season about a month to go, the prospects of the 1924 season are being discussed in some quarters, and, according to word received from Elizabeth, it might appear that the Plainficld-Elizabeth arrangement, involving the Recreation outfit in this city on Saturdays, and in Eliza beth on Sundays, may not be carried out another year. Of course, The After Effects The after effects of boosting are, contrary to those of knocking, enjoyable and beneficial to both ends of the game.

Take it before and after each meal, and a double dose before retiring for the night, and upon rising in the morning. It will make a new man of you in thirty days or less, or your money back. just how things pan out in this direction cannot be definitely forecast at this time, and it is hardly expected that all interested parties woulu want to commit season at this time.

JUST A LITTLE TOMORROW By HENRY L.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) New York, Aug. 30 (United Press). No fight of tty hectic summer of fights and fights has had the experts guessing as much as the world's middleweight championship bout here tomorrow night between Johnny Wilson, the title holder, and Harry Greb, that great, little piece of Pittsburgh fighting machinery. As a rule, in doping and in betting on the outcome of a fight, the champion, possesses the known Quantities and what experting is to be done revolves around the prospects of the challenger. In this unusual case it is just the opposite.

Everyone knows the capabilities of Greb, and no one is sure of what Wilson will turn out to be when he is subjected to the real test that he is bound to face. Wilson sort of sneaked into the championship and he has sneaked more as the champion. He won the title from Mike O'Dowd on a decision and O'Dowd shouted to the world that he had been made the victim of larceny. Wilson gave bim a return bout in New York, and although he failed to show any kind of championship ability, he did beat O'Dowd, and in the poverty-stricken condition of the class it meant that he was the champion sure enough. Wilson fought the rugged Bryan Downey in Cleveland and he was floored and saved by what the ringsiders maintained was a most generous and considerate count on the part of the referee.

The champion then took Downey back on for a no-decision thing in Jersey City and the exhibition was so terrible that Tex Rickard refused to pay Wilson his purse. More troubles "followed for the champion. When he tried to get his money, Rickard forced him to sign an agreement to fight Harry Greb. Wilson signed the agreement, got his money, and then told Rickard to jump himself into the well-known lake. The New York boxing commission then suspended Wilson for failing to defend his title and announced that Greb had become the champion through a sort of default process.

Matters were further complicated when Greb proceeded to win tho American lightjheavyweight championship and decided that he didn't care to monkey around and defend what claim he had on the middleweight title. Finally, after months of wran gling, the Wilson-Greb match was made, Wilson was reinstated by the boxing commission and they are going to have it out. In winning the championship and in the few times that he Btepped out of the set-up class to defend the title, Wilson shdwed himself to be so bad that he was dubbed "the cheese champion." Q. What is Harry Greb's right name? Johnny Wilson's? C. T.

A. Greb's right name is Berg and, spelled in reverse order, it is his ring name. Wilson's right name is Giovanna Panca. Q. Is there a race being arranged for the three-year oil championship of the world? B.

a Tward to another year. Semi-pro LIKE A By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent Atlantic City, N. Aug. 30.

For the fifteen days that are to elapse before he meet3 Jack Dempsey, Luis Angel Firpo, the affable young Argentine financier, will be within his rights in figuring that he is to be the next heavyweight champion and the big money power of pugilism. Luis Angel is doing his figuring right now and he-is serious about it. He has made no plans to return to his Argentine homo after he meets- Dempsey, and on the contrary he has decided to remain for a long time in the United Slates. "I have too much business to attend to before I can go home," the big South American said today. Questioned for details a3 to the extent of the transactions that he might be carrying now as unfinished business, Firpo let it be known through one of his interpreters "the champion is always a bu'y man." Firpo also has gone far enough into his future plans to decide he will not need a manager when he gets the title.

As far as outward manifestations of nervousness are concerned, Firpo shows no more anxiety about the coming fight than, his player piano which beats out music all day long without the inducement of a nickle. it plays all the popular jazz tunes end upon ita rack are several oi the latest hits from the Argentine, one of the most recent of which is "Firpo, Firpo, You're going to got it Dempsey." The South American is adding some English to is vocabulary. He knows "Good morning," "How ore you," "Nice day," "Glad to see you," "How much," and several others. His pet phrase, however, ac cording to his household staff, is "see you tomorrow." It is a timely phrase when he is approached by venturesome business Papyrus to Race Here Papyrus, winner of the English derby, will meet the best American three-year-old at Belmont park on October 20. America's representative will be selected at a preliminary test to be called the National Trial Sweepstakes to be held at Belmont park on Sept 15.

YESTERDAY'S DOINGS IN THE BIG LEAGUES Boston. The Cincinnati Reds dropped a half game in the pennant race when the Boston Braves broke up a tie in the tenth and von 2 to 1. Pittsburgh. The Chicago Cubs pounded Wilbur Cooper for five runs In the first two innings and beat the Pirates 6 to 2. Detroit.

The Tigers took the last game from the Senators 9 to 6 after they had scored nino runs in the first three innings off Mitchell and Marberry. After the third inning Marberry held the Tigers runless.

themselves to any plan for next its sporting section of last night, age semi-pro ball park, and both have established a good patronage for the high-class games. "The idea of a league next year has been given some thought. The old county circuit plan, which of fered the biggest possibilities in this field owing to the nearness of the towns for transportation, the sectional rivalry and the opportunity to reach the fans through the press, would be almost impossible to repeat, owing to the uneven footing on which the Hilltop field, an enclosed park, would be placed with the other open lots of the section. This was a bone of contention even before the oval was fenced in last year, and It would be practically insurmountable next summer. This would mean that the league would have to be considered with the Hilltop-pers out of it or, rather, offering competition.

Right now the loop "project is a little vague, as a mat- ter of fact, and probably might well be set aside to await further developments. ''Meanwhile, Promoter Traubman believes the opportunity to establish an all-Elizabeth team will present itself for next year as the best move for Pearl Oval. As a foundation he has Bobbie Shriner, Johnny O'Leary, Herbie Pennoyer, and Charlie Marsden, with a high possibility of securing Wuzzy Ful- lerton again. He is already planning big thing3 with such a team as a matter of fact, he has his heart all set on beating Chet Hall's Plainfleld machine of 1924. so we lean at least be sure that the an nual base-hit hunt will offer a few spicy attractions for consumers of the dusts diamond ozone.

FIGHT WOMEN GOLFERS IV WESTERN TOURNEY Bimoor County Club, Highland Park, Aug. 30 (United Press). With many popular favorites eliminated eight survivors started today in the third round of the Women's Western golf championship here.

He is too awkward to win a decision from the more clever Greb, and his chances of getting over a knockout on an opponent that is swarming around the ring like a big tee cloud all the time are also very thin.

If Greb fights cleanly and doe3 not resort to the foul tactics that usually spoil his work, he ought to win by a wide margin. IP HE IS IN SHAPE!
