Mickey Not So Firm on His Throne Walker Slipping as King of Middleweights, Expert Says. BY HENRY L. FARRELL NEA Service and Times Sports Writer DURING the winter months a most ambitious program was outlined for Mickey Walker by his crafty manager, Jack Kearns. Kearns had done almost miracles with Walker. He had taken a washed-up fighter who had lost the world’s vvelterweight championship and shrewdly led him into the middleweight title. Then he had started him along on the next step into the light heavyweight class when he got Mike McTigue in the ring with him and Walker popped off Mike. Walker was getting heavier and with so few men of class in the heavier divisions it was not clear out of reason to figure Kearns might do with him as he had done with Dempsey. Kearns certainly was qualified to do his part, but it begins to look now as if Mickey is cracking up under the burden. Instead of crashing through two classes into the big dough it looks as if Walker will be sorely put to keep his middisweight championship through the year. In the recent defense of his title in Chicago against Ace Hudkins, who certainly is not a great fighter, or even a good one. Walker certainly looked as if he is through. The only fair punches that were landed were landed by Walker. But, the important angle is, there was nothing behind the punches and Walker was laying everything he had in them. Walker was jut like Dempsey In that memorable seventh round in Chicago last year. His legs wouldn't carry him on. It is true that he had a heavy cold but there were no other causes for the weariness in his arms and legs., He’s only 21 years of age, but he’s ring worn and like Dempsey, he has all the appearance of being ring tired. In the ring in his good days, Walker had the looks and the mannerisms of Dempsey. He patterned himself after Dempsey and was a small edition of the former champion. And he is just like Dempsey now, in the ring and out of the ring. The battle light has gone from his eyes, the % spring from his legs and his love of the game is fading.

Times Disclosed Tip on Burrus June 30

ON Saturday, June 30, The Times sport page, home edition, informed the fans the Indians were trying to close a deal for the purchase of Dick Burrus, first baseman, from the Boston Braves. The news of the dickering was told exclusively in The Times. Kitty Bransfield, Boston scout, was here at the time, and The Times figured, from his presence, that there was something stirring. George Sisler had taken Burrus’ job at Boston. Boston wanted a player in the deal, but agreed late Wednesday to sell the first sacker outright. He throws and bats left-handed and was in the league once before with Columbus. He batted .318 last year. His present average is .270. Walter Holke, regular Tribe first baseman, has a bad knee and Owner Perry feared the popular vet. would not hold up down the A. A. stretch.

THEOa op UieOutddrs IT would be foolish to hail the white bass of our inland rivers as a game fish of the caliber of the small-mouth bass, the trout, the bonefish, or the muskie, but still he }s too important and too scrappy a fish to come under the classification of such pan-fish as the crappie and the rock bass, both of which he rather resembles in a general way. The white bass ranges from half a pound up to four pounds. This bass runs in schools, frequenting sand bars and shallows in midstream. The progress of a school can be followed on calm days as they move along, rising in rapid succession to the surface. Asa fly fishing proposition the white bass has few equals. Action is rapid and one rise follows another. He puts up a splendid fight, well worthy of the bass family. The white bass is one of the outstanding beauties of fresh waters. Silver in color, with black stripes running longitudinally, he is graceful in shape and trim as a battle cruiser.

Bit United Press VANCOUVER, B. C„ Aug. 2. Percy Williams, winner of two championships at the Amsterdam Olympiad, is a champion today because he fought tirelessly for a lifetime chance. Williams has been a runner since childhood. It has only been within the last two years, however, that he took his ability seriously enough to begin the rigid training that resulted in his Olympic victories in the 100 and 200-meter dashes. Bob Granger, former track coach of the University of British Columbia, claims the ' honor of having brought Williams to light. Granger saw Williams run in 1926 and at once attempted to induce the lad to take his ability seriously. Got Tough Breaks Last year the Olympic trials and Canadian championships were announced in Toronto. Williams wanted to enter but was unable to raise the funds for the long trip. Undiscouraged, he struggled for a month and finally was able to reach Toronto on the eve of the trials. Os course, he had no chance to train or to thoroughly try the track upon which he was to run. In spite of these handicaps, however, he succeeded in placing second in his heat, and at once began to prepare for che finals. At this time it developed that a mistake had been made in the entries and one of the contestants would have to withi draw. A coin was tossed and Williams lost his first chance at a major sprint title.

Returning home Williams began to work harder than ever. He was rewarded a few weeks later when, at the British Columbia Olympic trials, he equalled the world’s record for the 100 meters run, covering the distance in 10 3-5 seconds. More Hard Luck He rather expected this sensational achievement would assure him of success, but again he was mistaken. He found it almost impossible to raise the expense money necessary to enter the final Olympic trials at Hamilton, Ont. At the last minute a local Lacrosse club, starting a drive for funds, offered to combine his interests with theirs. He was given a check for his expenses just in time for him to enter the trials. Since that time he has become an international figure in the world of sport and sportsmen. Williams was born in \7an Couver in 1908. He has been a runner most of his life, although he seldom took the track seriously. Asa scholastic athlete Williams, in 1927, set anew Canadian high school record of 10 seconds flat for the 100 meters. This year he set a new Dominion scholastic mark of 22 seconds in the 220 meter dash. BAR MUNN FOR YEAR Because of a horrible exhibition against Marion Plestina recently, big Wayne Munn has been barred by the Tulsa (Okla.) athletic commission from wrestling there for a year.

city, and interviewing the Konjolai Man, where he is personally explaining the merits of this new medicine. Another surprising statement has been received which shows mor® clearly what Konjola is doing for sufferers in this vicinity. The state-* ment came from Mr. Thomas Me-* Graw, who has a host of friends in this city. Mr. McCraw is a news vendor on the northwest corner of Illinois and Washington Sts., and has been engaged in this work for, more than seventeen years. He re* sides at 1338 W. Thirty-Third St. “I am very glad to recommend Konjola to my numerous friends as it has certainly proven a great medicine for me,” said Mr. McGraw. “R would be impossible for me to say too much for a medicine which has done what Konjola has for me. It has made it possible for me to re-* turn to work after being forced tat remain at home for several weeks. "I suffered from the worst kind of stomach trouble possible and it seemed to be that I was always in misery. There would be a fierribl® gnawing sensation ir the pit of my| stomach which I thought came from hunger, but when I tried eating anything, the food always caused mom trouble than It did good. Awful gas bloating came over me after every! meal and although I was very care-* ful about the foods, my digestive organs simply refused to act normally upon them. This trouble kept on for more than four years uptil I was finally forced to go to a hospital for treatment. Although this helped me somewhat I did not get complete relief and as a result, I thought my case was practically hopeless. “When I left the hospital and returned to my home, I started on th® treatment of Konjola, I realized I was in a bad condition so I did not expect too much from this medicine at the start. I had confidence in it and kept right on until I noticed a vast improvement. Although it took some time, I finaly overcame my trouble and now I am working my newspaper business at my corner every day gardless of weath r conditions. There is not a trace of stomach trouble remaining with me and I feel sure the re' , ' > *’ *s nermanent. I really know that Konjola has improved my health in every way and I am more than plari te indorse it so that others may benefit by my experience. lam able to eat foods that I always desired and enjoy the meals so that I p*'” nourishment and have more strength and energy than ever before.” The Konjola Man is at Kook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and Producing and explaining the merits at this remedy. Konjola is sold fn every Hook Drug Store in this section and by all the leading '* ’*sts throughout this vicinity.—Advertise-
