By Joe Williams BBS Jimmy Punched With Jaw B B B Coulon (Tamest Boy in Ring B B B Joe Selects Kid Williams
"i ORK, April 21.—1 sec by the papers that Johnny Coulon at the ape of forty-five is still throwing punches in the prize rinp. He stepped three rounds with one Bobby O'Dowd in Chicapo la.'t nipht. Coulon was the bantamweipht champion of the world as far back as 1007. 1 believe Coulon was the first prizefighter I ever met socially, if that is the word. This was quite a lonp time ago —much longer than I care to remember. He was still the champion. 1 always did have a simple curiosity about prizefighters and their technique. “What is your best punch, Mr. Coulon?" I asked. “Here, I’ll show you," he said. Anri so saving he reached up with his right hand, pulled my bared head down and in a brief second I was conscious of a sharp and painful sensation. The gentleman had speared me with a very sharp front tooth. “Works swell in the clinches," he laughed. u b n n u tt IN later years I was to learn from testimony of opponents that Coulon had not been joshing and that he actually scored many effective points with his militant tusks. “It not only was his best punch, but his only punch,” declared Mr. Patsy Brannigan, one of his victims. The last time I saw Coulon he was in my office protesting against a story in which I had made the claim that Jimmy Wilde was the best fighter of his weight the game ever saw. This had followed a brilliant exhibition against Frankie Mason, then the holder of the flyweight championship. Wilde had come into the ring at about 110 pounds. ‘‘l must have done something to that noodle of yours the day I gave you the tooth,” began Coulon. ‘ Wilde? Why he’s just a fair sort of fighter, and nothing more than that. Did you ever hear of a guy named Jimmy Barry of Chicago?” bob tt B o then went on to tell me about, a guy named Jimmy Barry of > Chicago, “the biggest little fellow that ever lived.” It seems that Barry was 5 feet 3 inches tall, never weighed more than 110 pounds and retired as the undefeated bantamweight champion of the world after holding tho title for four years. ‘ Barry had more natural ability than any fighter I ever saw,” claimed Coulon. “There wasn't anything he couldn't do with a pair of boxing gloves. And remember he was a flyweight fighting among bantamweights. He would have blinded Wilde with his speed and then knocked him out.” Coulon's estimate of Barry may be correct. I have heard other boxing men speak with great enthusiasm about the Chicago thumb tack. Os course I never saw him in action. Nor did I see George Dixon, whom Barn replaced as the bantamweight rhampion. A lot of the old timers tell you Dixon was the best of them all, right up to the present. a tt a bob IN these matters you are on safer ground when you restrict your selections to performers of your own period. A parade of really fine bantamweights passes brfore my vision as I attempt to single out the one I like above all the rest—Kid Williams. Pal Moore. Pete Herman. Bud Taylor. Joe Lynch. Midget Smith, Jack Sharkey. Carl Tremaine. Johnny Ertle. Joe Burman. Frankie Burns. Young Montreal. Pancho Villa, etc. I think I must string along with Kid Williams if for no other reason than on account of the fine old name he bears, which happens to be in reality. John Gutenko. It seemed to me that Williams had everything a fighting man ought to have, plus an amazing zest for the grisly business. Williams hit as hard as any little man I ever saw. he was fast, he had boundless stamina and he stood up under a punch like a thoroughbred. Pal Mcore probably had the most extraordinary record of any bantamweight in history. He defeated four different champions and yet never held the title. Because of his grotesque jumping-Jack style, no champion would meet him in a decision fight. When they met him it was always without benefit of a decision.

Five determined and capable runto establish anew world record in the mile run in the feature race of the Kansas relays here.

Glen Dawson. Tulsa Athletic Club: Ray Sears. Butler two-mile specialist, and Harold Manning. Wichita, former national collegiate two-mile champion, were entered in the race, however, and threatened to give the Kansas and Pennsylvania men a first rate race.

C”< OLF events galore have been arranged for men and women players at X Meridian Hills Country Club this season by committees recently appointed by Howard S. Morse, president.

Cardinal Thinlies in Meet With De Pauw Ball State Coach Expects Five Victories in Tiger Contest. By Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., April 21. Five first places, at best, is the zenith of expectations of Coach L. D. McPhee of his Ball State tracksters as they open their season at De Pauw today, he said. On the same date the tennis and golf teams also wall oppose the Tigers. McPhee said he hoped for a victory in the pole vault, wdth William Ullmer of Alexandria leaping, and he expected Joe Clevenger of ! Selma to cop the mile and tw'o-mile . runs. Foster Barr in the shot put and discus throw are his other best bets. Fifteen men went to De Pauw : for the meet. Ben Stout of Cliff- | ton, Don Oren of Upland. Ned Shuck of Tipton and Louis Darst of | Ft. Wayne are the sprinters; Wilmer Armstrong of South Bend and Arnel Spurgeon of Indianapolis will run the half mile, and Gene McCreery of Gaston will team with Clevenger in the distance events. Other Cardinal thinlies are: Elmer Hampton of Anderson, hurdler; Richard Fortenbacher of South Bend and Basil Holmes of Alexandria. jumpers, and Lewis Henry, Kendallville, javelin. Seven Marks Set in ‘Y’ Swimming Meet in St. Louis Dan Zehr Hangs Up New Record in 100-Yard Backstroke. ST. LOUIS, April 21. —Seven new j marks were set in the preliminaries : of the International Y. M. C. A. | swimming championships, which got j under way here last night. Finals will be held tonight. The three Spence brothers of Orange. N. J.. seemed destined to lead their team to another championship as they set new marks in three events. San Francisco and Chicago will be strong contestants, j however. Walter Spence broke his interna- ; tional “Y” records by swumming the j 100-yard free style in :52.2 and the 220-yard free styie in 2:16.5. His old marks in those events were :53.0 and 2:16.7 respectively. Brother Leonard broke his former record of j 2:34.4 in the 200-yard breast stroke by churning that distance in 2:32 flat last night. Other new marks set were: 100-Yard Back Stroke—Dan Zehr, Ft. Wayne. Ind.. 1:02.6. 50-Yard Free Style—Gordon Cornelius. Chicago. :23.3. 440-Yard Free Style—Bob Pirie, Toronto, 5:08.6. 200-Yard Sprint Relay—San Francisco, 1:33.1. Fastest time in other events were: 50-yard dash.

Tribe Officials Hope to Take Hickey Trophy for Attendance at First Tilt Chamber of Commerce Committee Winds Up Plans for Booster Parade: Forty Floats Entered in Long Procession. If Ol' Man Weather smiles on Indianapolis next Tuesday—and there are several indications that he will—the long anticipated annexation of the Hickey trophy by the Indians may become a fact when they return from their gypsying in the east to face the Toledo Mud Hens in Perry Stadium's season opener. At least, officials of the Indianapolis baseball club believed today, from omens at hand, that they could better the crowd of twelve thousand that watched the Columbus Red Birds open last Tuesday against Louisville, and thus cop the annual reward for record attendance on an opening day
in the American Association parks. Chief among the manifestations on which Tribe officials based their hopes of a record-breaking crowd in the Indians' home lot was the enthusiasm evident in preliminary arrangements for the annual booster parade to precede the first game of the season in the stadium on West Sixteenth street. Doubtless this year's pre-tilt festivities will surpass those of previous years. At least forty floats have been entered in the parade. Eight bands, together with several orchestras and sound trucks will supply music as the procession winds through downtown Indianapolis. And a long procession of automobiles will be included in the seven sections of the caravan. Amateurs in Parade Plans for the parade were detailed yesterday at a luncheon of the athletic committee of the Chamber of Commerce in the Columbia Club Anew feature of this year's parade will be the representation of amateur baseball and softball teams, in uniforms, with floats in the march. To stir greater enthusiasm in the parade and to further the interest of amateur sports, The Times offered a trophy to the organization with the best amateur or softball float in the procession. Yesterday seven teams had entered eight floats, and Carl Callahan. chairman of the amateur representation committee, said he expected several more at the last minute. The seven teams were: P. K. Mallory, People's Motor Coach, Sanitary Commission (two floats), Crown Products. Beanblossom A. C.. Christian Men's Builders and the Patrick Henry team, sponsored by the Marion County Beverage Company. Reservations Plentiful. In addition to the interest shown in formation of the parade before the game, Tribe officials saw their hopes of a crowd of 13,000 or more next Tuesday enhanced by greater co-operation from local clubs and business firms, and indications that economic conditions generally are improved. Further, despite their initial setbacks at Toledo, the Tribe is one of the most colorful bail clubs to represent Indianapolis in several years. Reservations by townsfolk and by out of town fans indicate a greater crowd than has attended the opening game here in past years. The parade Tuesday will form at 12:45 p. m. on North street, east from Meridian to Delaware, and along Ft. Wayne avenue. It will march south on Meridian street to Monument circle, move east on Market to Pennsylvania street, j south to Washington, and west to Senate avenue, where the marching i sections will drop out, while the motorized portions will continue on to the baseball park. From their reviewing stand at the statehouse, the judges will select groups for which prizes are to be given. They include: Trophy j offered by Em-Roe sporting goods store for the luncheon club with the largest attendance in the parade; trophy of C. L. Herrod for the best float; trophy of the Smit,h-Hasslcr-Sturm Sporting Goods Company for the best band, and The Times trophy. Colors Guard Offered The eight bands in the march will be: Shortridge high school. Washington high school, Cathed- i ral high school. Tech high school. Butler university. American Legion, j the Knot-Hole Gang, and Herman Arndt’s band. Colonel T. L. Sherburne, commanding the Indiana military area, has offered a colors guard, and a detail of Indiana national guardsmen also will be in the line of j march. A complete list of firms offering floats are: Ace Coal Company. Banquet Ice Cream, Bayuk Cigars. I Brink's Express, Cacaravan Club,; Christian Park. Continental Baking Company, Oren W. Dee, Dilling Candy Company, Dunn Beverage Company. Billy Grimes, Highway Sound Service, Hoosier Coal and Oil, Hoosier Electric Refrigerator, Indiana Breweries. Indianapolis Brewing Company, city park board. Indianapolis Real Estate Board. Kingan & Cos.. Lux Laundry, Marion County Beverage Distributors, Van Miller's orchestra. R. I. Ricksham. Schlossser Brothers. Service Club. Shank Warehouse, Shell Petroleum. Spencer-for-Prosecutor Club. Stein Club. Troy Oil Cos., Webber Milk and Polar Ice Company. The Polar Ice Company will transport on trucks, with a carriage drawn behind two famous old mules. Kate and Queen, now almost 40 years old each, who have not missed a booster parade in years, but who now are too old to walk the distance. WEST SIDE FROSK WIN Rolling up a total of 66 points.

Indians Work Up Fight in Day of Rest Logan to Hurl in First Game in Perry Stadium Next Tuesday. by eddy ash Time* Sport* Editor. COLUMBUS. 0., April 21.—1f the Indians of Red Killefer live up to promises made yesterday, Indianj spolis fans are going to see a fighting ball club trot out on the Perry stadium greensward Tuesday, when the Tribe home season is opened. The Hoosier pastimers were "burned up" over the game they handed to the Mud Hens in Toledo Thursday and they went out to Red Bird stadium in Columbus yesterday and j drilled for a couple of hours, dc- | spite the frigid atmosphere. The series opener with the rham-* | pion Birds was postponed around 2 p. m.. on account of cold weather, j but the Indians thrust aside the danger of pneumonia and went through the full routine of training, batting, fielding and wind sprints around the park. Chief Killefer also held a club meeting and following a lecture the players stepped up and said they were determined to return to Indianapolis j with at least an even break on this J road trip. | Lefty Bob Logan, who pitched the [ Indians to victory in the season's opener at. Toledo, is being groomed i to hurl the Indianapolis opener on Tuesday, when the Mud Hens will be met again. Bill Thomas is billed to chuck the horsehide for the Hooi siers here today and Jim Turner and Stewart Bolen are booked in the double-header at Red Bird stadium tomorrow. Logan may be asked to : do some relief duty over the week- ! ond ’ but. just enough to keep him at I the peak of form. Monday is an open date. : Pitrhers Tising. Butzborger and Mil jus, who fouled up on the mound in Toledo Thursday paid the penalty, .lesterday when they were required | *° stay on the practice field until Manager Killefer decided they were j exhausted They saw their jobs ‘bpping away and lost no time imo snapping into action in an effort to make good the next time they receive mound assignments. Killefer is a manager of the old school, and he used old methods to convince the boys that early season games count in the standing the same as later contests of midsummer. He said; ‘The alibi that you cant pitch until hot weather is out with me. You are supposed to be ready when votir pay starts.” The Indians are in a mood now tf > risk broken bones if they can knock off the champion Birds two out of three and then return home and thump the Mud Hens on Tuesday. Moreover, they don't object to playing a. double-header here Sunday, although in years past twin bills seldom were staged in April, some of the athletes remarked: Rushing the season on bargain attractions is all right with us if it tickles the customers.” The double-header here Sunday will start at 1:30 p. m. 12:30 Indianapolis time). This arrangement will allow the Indians to catch an early evening train and they will reach home at 10:15 Sunday night, thereby avoiding a sleeper jump. Catcher Tom Angley, the former Indian now with the Red Birds, staged a one-man parade and "floor show" for the entertainment of his old mates at the ball park yesterday. Tom was put in high spirits when the game was postponed an dhe had photographers j running in and out of the taking his picture from all angles to impress the Indians with his importance. Tom is always at his best on days when he knows no work will be required. A mail plane recently flew from Brazil to Berlin, a distance of 5.700 miles, in three days, eight hours and forty minutes, making only three stops along the way.
