Dent Was at His Best Yesterday
By Captain Rivingion Bisland.
B IRMINGHAM, April 23.—When Roy Moran walked to the
plate after two men were out in the ninth inning of yester
day 8 Baron-Cracker game, the fans started to leave the
stands, thinking it was another Baron victory, but it took our lit-
tie centerfielder to send them back to their seats, as he poled the
lirst ball Grimes pitched like a shot over second base, and when it
got by Magee, well, Roy circled the bases, scoring the run that
evened the count.
Big Ed Dent was at his best and he twirled a wonderful game.
It only goes to prove If we get good —
pitching we will win regularly. Bill rv . . r r> f ^ t
now ha.* his firing squad about down \ U(Mlt III LOfllC-liOCK KOlC
to the limit, and I see no reason why
we should not get better results with
the men working in order.

J N the fifth Inning Hemingway,
1 leading off for Birmingham, hit
for three sacks, putting Dent in a
hole. Ellam went out, short to first,
but Wallace singled and Hemm>
scored with the Barons’ lone tally.
One run looked mighty big, and
from all appearances it was enough
- to win the game for the Barons. fn
.eight innings we could not put a run
across. At this point Grimes had an
other shut-out all chalked up on the
rjght side of his ledger, but his dream
was not very long-lived.

f N the ninth Bowden and Williams

Moran. He smacked the first ball to
center, the pill going to the fence j
when Magee let it get through his j>
legs. Roy going all the way round. His j
run tied the score.
The Barons couldn't do a thing with |

Willard Tells of Hardest Fight
^ ' &
Charley Miller Toughest Opponent
By Ed. W. Smith,
(Well-known Fight Referee and Ring Expert.)
Here Is the eighth installment of JesR Willard’s story of his own life,
“How I Won the Championship.’’ This is the first authentic and authorized
recital of the new champion's career, and was obtained from him by Ed
ward W. Smith, the Atlanta Georgian's pugilistic expert, the day after Wil
lard's thrilling and decisive victory over Jack Johnson at Havana, Cuba,
The story covers the Kansas giant’s private and ring life completely from
his birth up to and including the now famous Havana battle:
“HOW I WON THE TITLE.”—No. 8.
(As told by Jess Willard, Heavyweight Champion of the World.)
O NE of most natural questions that come to me from differ
ent people all over the country is in regard to the hardest
fight that I ever had. This is a hard question to answer
and one that has to be answered in a different way from the ordi
nary query.
Of course, we will except the Jack Johnson fight from all these
calculations and deductions because that was a real championship
affair and. therefore, so different from the others that no compari
sons can be instituted.
Offhand. I would say that Charley
Miller, the Western heavyweight
fighter gave me the hardest battle I
ever engaged in and expect to be in.
MOW, I won’t say that Miller was
^ * one of the best men I ever met.
and, again. I am not going to belittle
stay down, and In the third round I
was so tired I could scarcely get out
of my chair.
That fight was a complete revela
tion to me, and taught me then and
there the value of condition at all
times, whether the fight be of one,
him in any way. He was a good man four, ten, twenty or forty-five rounds,
at the time I fought him.
Bui what made the whole thing a
sorry mess for me was the fact that I
went into the contest without the
proper preparation. It took place
about five weeks after my affair of
twenty rounds with Gunboat Smith
out on the Pacific Coast.
“I was completely fooled by this
bqut. They told me it was to be only
four rounds, so I decided at once that
it wouldn’t be necessary to train mu.ch
for the affair. Twelve minutes of
boxing seemed so easy to me that .aft
er I got to thinking about it for a
time T decided that I didn't need any
special preparation at all for the thing.
H OW horribly I was mistaken In the
matter was made plain to me be
fore I had been in action with Miller
for a couple of minutes.
Miller rushed me around the ring as
if I was the cheapest novice in the
business; and, to make matters worse,
I played right into his hands by slug
ging with him, hoping to win with a
knockout In quick HJtyle, and thus sav
ing myself from getting too tired.
Well, I knocked him down a couple
of times, but couldnh't hit him square
ly on the jaw. He simply would not
T HEY called the fight a draw at the
end of the fourth round, and I can
truthfully say right here that I never
was so glad to hear anything in the
wofld as the sound of that final gong.
ft was with difficulty that I drag
ged myself to the corner at the finish,
and all I could gasp out to Tom Jones
in my corner was something about
’‘never again.” It was a lucky thing
for me that it was Miller that night
instead of a little better man. Had I
been pitted with some heavy, accurate
hitter, there is no telling what might
have happened to me.
• * •
HAN DALY, the big heavyweight
Jimmy Dime has, gave me a sharp
argument, although I was in shape for
him. From the fourth to the ninth
rounds he kept coming at me in the
most vicious fashion, and, though I
kept knocking him to the floor, I
couldn’t score a home run until near
the end. Daly would have been a
wonderful man but for the fact that
his feet and ankles were so pecul
iarly built- that he could get no spring
or action for footwork. He acted all
the time as if nailed to the floor. It
was a fatal defect.
