New Haven, Feb. 2-Julius Strem- 1au of Meriden. state enforcement of ffcer of the national prohibition law, said last night that as yet, the au- thority he is to have is still in the hands of James J. Walsh. collector of internal revenue, and that, until the proper representative from Wash ington arrives to officially transfer the duties to him and make provisions for proper quarters and the necessary organization, he is powerless to take action.

Dempsey and Fogarty
 Bout Was Terrific

One of the most terrific bouts ever staged in New York-or anywhere was that of thirty-four years ago to- day, in which Jack Dempsey, old time namesake of the present heavy weight champion, the then middle weight champion, knocked out Jack F'ogarty in the 2Tth round.
 The men fought with two-ounce gloves, for the middleweight cham pionship of America, a purse of $3,- eco, and a percentage of the gate re- ceipts for the winner. Dempsey was really a we1terweight at that time, but that division hadn't been invent ed, so he held the nniddleweight title.
 The Nonpareil, as he was known, weighed in at 143 pounds, while Fo- garty, who was a Philadelphian. weighed 15o pounds. From the first blow Dempsey directed much of his attention to Fogarty's optics, and by the time that ten terrific rounds had been fought one of F'ogarty's eyes was swollen shut, and the other was little better.
 In the 20th round Dempsey landed a. blow that cracked Fogarty's jaw. Still he wouldn't quit, and, almost blind and with 8 smashed jaw, he game1y fought on until Dempsey knocked him out in the 27th round.

Eddie Fitzsimmons to
 Box Lew Tender In i Phila. Next Summer

New York, Feb. 3.-A match be- tween Eddie Fitzsimmons and Lew Tender is practically assured for Philadelphia next summer. They were to have fought iii that city sev- era1 weeks ago, but illness prevented Tender keeping the engagement.
 Dan Morgan, manager of F-itzsin mons, believes that if his protege de- feats the Quaker City southpaw he will be in line for a bout with cham pion Benny Leonard. Fitzsimmons has challenged Benny repeatedly.
 Fitz has been going great guns since he tied up with Dumb Dan yell. Morgan is sure he has ur- earthed a successor to Benny and is leaving nothing undone to place Ed die on the top rung of the light weight ladder
 Since joining Morgan's stable, Fi1z has beaten Irish Patsy Cline among a raft of second raters. He halls from Yorkville- He is a veteran light weight. They say he can scale 13S pounds ringside.
 Another likely contender for the lightweight championship is Mickey Don1ey, of Newark. His recent vic tory over Joe Benjamin stamps him as a youth who may some day prove troublesome for Leonard.

Tom Cassidy Wants To Raise s5CO,OO0
 For Soldiers Stadiun

New York, Feb. 3.-Having cheered up innumerab1e crippled and wound ed soldiers through a series of boxing shows held nightly in innumerabie hospitals, Tom Cassidy, the New Jer- sey philanthropist, finds that his charitable efforts are becoming too slack for comfort.
 Cassidy has much too much time on his hands to satisfy himself. He, too, has been only helping himself lately and he gets no mental comfort out of that. So the genial Thomas is about to start on another tack in hopes that the rising generation of Jersey will be able to rise in more healthfu1 surroundings
 Cassidy is hunting $500,000 and says that he will find that amount so quickly New Jersey, rich and poor, will gasp. He wants the half million to build 8 recreation centre for North Hudson which will not only com memorate the soldiers and sailors who left that religion to fight the Germans and did not come back but will afford American Legion mem bers place to engage in all sorts of sports. Cassidy wants to build a huge athletic stadium and community cen- ter in North Hudson and he thinks he can raise the money.

TUNNEY KNOCKS AL ROBERTS OUT
 IN 9TH ROUND

New York, Feb. 3.---Gene Tunney proved at the Newark Sportsman club last night that he will have to be considered when future heavyweight champions are being made. He knocked out Al Roberts of Staten Is- land in the eighth round after 8 thrilling bout. Tunney was all that 8 new light-heaVy could be---and more.
 Roberts gave him the stiffest kind of an argument, as he had to floor his
 man five times in all before the fatal count. A clean right handler to the jaw ended the gallant Roberts.
 Tunney played a mixed game now aggressive, now resting up. He began by floo-tng Roberts almost be- fore the echo of the starting bell had died away, with a short right to the jaw. Al hopped up immediately and then what bout it was!
 Roberts took terrific punishment for the remainder of the round, but stood gamely to his guns as Tunney hit him with every punch and with all the force at his command Rob erts Is a plucb1y 'un, and he faced a murderous two-fisted fire from Tun- ney's fists without hinching. Time after time he seemed about to go down again, but kept afoot IL all. Lu1uSy ullllZ0A every blow at his command, but Roberts took them blinking and the bell finally came to the rescue.
 Then ensued a wonderful struggle. Roberts plugged along manfllly, talk | ing 3. deal of punishment but always coming back for more. Along in the fifth and sixth rounds he seemed to grow stronger, but it was simply that Tunney was acting on orders from 1 his corner, taking his time and letting
 Roberts fight himself out.
 1 In the seventh round Tuuney cut loose once more and dropped Roberts three times. Game to the core, Rob erts got up on one knee and, holding his glove aloft, complained that Tun- ney had wrestled him down. As it
 was the bell just saved him.
 The B. and o. fireman held on like
 grim death in the early part of the
 eighth round, but a, clean, hard right
 finally sent him to the flat of his back
 He was vainly trying to get up when he was counted out.

Chinese Boxer From Pacific Coast Looks
 Like Good Material

Out in California they have dug up another Chinese boxer. The Ce- 1eStia1 glove swinger is known as Georgie Lee, and he is said to be de- cidedly handy with his mitts. It is several years since a Chinese boxer has won recognition.
 The last one was An Chung, a lightweight, who was doing fairly we'll until he bumped into Benny Leonard. Leonard was known as the "PoWder Puff Kid'' in those days be- cause he lacked a wallop. However, he hit plenty hard enough for An Chung, sending him to sleep in six grounds.
 Winning the championship of China imbued Leonard with so much ambition that it was not long after ward that he learned how to put real force behind his blows.

Joe Jackson Seldom
 Tanned Last Season

For an American League pitcher to strike out Joe Jackson last season was somewhat out the ordinary. In 139 contests the expensive member of the White Sox appeared at the plate 516 times, but was retired on strikes on only ten occasions.
 Ty Cobb was completely fooled g times, and George Sisler watched three good ones go by twenty tims5 during the campaign. With Babe Ruth it was a case of hit it a mile or strike out. The champion long dist ance swatter famed total of fifty eight times, or twice for each home run he made
 The only player to fan more often than Ruth was Shannon of the Red Sox. He struck out seventy times.

JOHNSON SUED
 FOR $50O,OOO
 BY NY. TANKS

New York, Feb. 3-The New York American League Baseball Club, which operates the Yankees, brought suit yesterday against President Ban Johnson for s500,0Oo damages on the ground that Johnson conceived the idea of driving the clubs owners, Col. Jacob Ruppert and Col. T. L. Huston, out of baseball. The Yankees also brought two other suits yesterday. A second action by the club prays for a judgment restraining Johnson from paying to himself or receiving out of the funds of the league any salary as an official of the league since Dec. 10, 1919, on the ground that he is not holding office according to the pro- visions of the constitution of the league.
 The third action is against Johnson
 and the five clubs supporting him,
 Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, St. Louis and Washington. This action seeks to restrain the defendants from
 aiding what is alleged to be the pur- pose of Johnson, to injure the New
 York club; also it seeks to enjofn the
 defendants from aiding Johnson from continuing in office in violation of the constitution. This complaint asks fol appointment of a receiver for the funds of the league, and for an in' junction during the pendency of the action.
 These three suits constitute the complaints in the actions for whicf Johnson and the club owners were served when the American League held it's meeting at the Bntmore or
 Dec 10 of last var. Coming only 2 week before the adjourned meeting 0. i the American League, which will b' held in Chicago next week, the actiol l indicates that there is little chance fol l any conciliatory measures being take1 1 at the Chicago conclaye.
