"When Malls came to Sacramento he was using a side-arm delivery al-, al-, most continually and with the ahl of BUI Brough, who has a good pitching j bean, we laughl Walter an overhand I delivery which Improved his speed and control wonderfully. Malls has a lot to say, In fact, lies a true southpaw, but he's tending to business up there and he's making good.

He says; "Why If I wanted to play safe I could go 20 rounds with Dempsey or any one else and not get as much as a Scratch. All you have to dp Is to le Into a clinch and wait for the referee to break you apart. Then you can do It nil oxer again. If you know the J game at all you can keep that up for a week. It's impossible for anyone to hurt you. AH the colored heavyweights heavy-weights know the trick. That's wh it is so hard for me to fifcht MrVcv In short bouts. Bet me fight him one arm fr. e and I won't go four rounds But with a referee in there lo stop I me from fighting except when he is l-staifding off all covered up, it can't be done. If you stop a man under the present mien it la Just a matter of I luck or because he doesn't know anything.' |
