HARTFORD BOXING BOUTS
Reimer and Waltz Box Tamest Mill of Night-MorIey Rests Palitz in WhirIwind Battle.

Sammy Waltz and Bobby Reimer boxed a tame 10-round star bout last night at the Church street Auditor ium. Hartford, the Hartford boxer having an edge at the close. It was the old story with Reimer being un- able to put any steam behind his punches. He used a left jab through out the mill, that kept the Hartford boy away from using that deadly right smash of his with any telling effect
 The bout that had the fans on their toes was the 10-round semi-final be- tween Dave Palitz and Mike Morley, both of Hartford, as Hughie Rorty puts it. It was a case of experience against youth, and youth won. Mor- ley surprised even his most ardent rooters by the way he held Dave at bay, and in the closing rouhi he fought in a manner that worried Palitz. Morley was clearly the win ner.
 In the curtain raiser, Harlem Tom my Shea won knockout victory ovel Irish Johnny Mcclure, who was an nounced as a recent arrival in this city from Belfast, Ireland. The lad from the E .erald Isle was holding his own until th, fatal ninth when he was droppeu CJr the count. On arising he looked in bad shape, and the referee stopped the mill much to the chagrin of Irish Johnny" Mcclure made his appearance in the ring with the colors of the Republic of Ireland around his waist. During the middle of the battle he commenced singing Irish airs while battling away at his adversary. With little more exper- ence Mac will do.

BOXING OFFICIAL
 CRITICIzES BOUT
Chairman Mcclure CenSureS Both
 Dempsey and Brennan

New York, Dec. 17.-The first off, cial expression of opinion by a mem- Der of tho boxing commission in refer enco to tho ~1ntest between Dempsey and BrcnnGl came yesterday from Laurence McGuire. chairman of the license committed. MT. Mcclure was not at all pleased with the bout and said so in no uncertain language.
 Tn my opinion." said he, "it was the poorest heavyweight combat ever saw. especially one in which the class title was at stake. Neither Dempsey nor Brennan showed the slightest form, and I am confident could have dug up two longshoresmen who would have put up as good if not n better fight.
 By form I mean the qualities shown by men like Corbett, Mccoy or Fitzslmmons. There was no scientific boxing, no speed, no aegressiveness.
 Tt was the first time had seen Dempsey in action and I was sorely disappointed. If that was the best he can do I fear he will not hold the title much longer.
 By the way" added Mir. Mcclure, ''if the large purses received by box CTS did not receive so much publicity it would be better for the sport"
 When informed by the writer that tho promoters and boxers and their managers were solely responsible for the reports of big purses, and that tho boxing commission could stop it by lnstructing the promoters and managers to keep to themselves tho amounts offered to fighters, Chairman McGuirc admitted the truth of the as- scrtion.
 MT. McGuiro expressed the opinion that moving pictures were not conduc- tive to good performances by boxers and he was in favor of prohibiting 'hem. Ho said tho commission had no advance information as to the in- tention to take pictures of the Bren- bout. and that to have ordered the camera men out on the night of the contest would have re- suited in much confusion and delay.
 Tate's Compensation.
 An aggravated case of overpaying a boxer is furnished by the case of Big Bill Tate. who was in the ring with Kid Norfolk for forty minutes and did not do four minutes of fighting. Nor folk did all the fighting. It Is report ed that Tate received s4,0o0 for his services" and if that report is correct tho giant negro received s3.975 more han he earned.
 Tate is the sparring partner of the champion. and he should have earned something about fighting dur ng the two years he has been in the Dempsey camp.

1 was confined to my bed for two
weeks, and was not able to do any

been reading SO much in the news

Los Angeles, Jan. u. Dempsey.
heavyweight champion of the world.
woke up this morning to learn from
the public prints that he and Georges
Carpenter. whom he had expressed
desire to meet in the ring. would meet
California. James D. Coffroth recent
iy obtained an agreement from Demp-
sey's manager, Jack kelrns, for the
champion to meet Carpenter at
Tijuana and cablegrams last night
brought word that Carpenters man
ayers had agreed to the match. The
only stipulation was that it be not
over fifteen rounds in length. and as
to this Coffroth in San Diego ex-
pressed no disagreement.
"a fight of that length ought to be
decisive. especially with heavy
weights" he said. Every effort to
reach Dempsey or his manager here
failed last night. Reporters who
jingled the doorbell at Kearns's Holly
wood home were answered by only
blank, dark windows and silence. No
body could find him either to tell him
the news or obtain his comments. Re
garding the date for the match, Cof-
froth in a statement given out at San
Diego, said he could not fix ii definite
ly, eltho he expressed a desire to hold
IT as soon as the arena he plans could
he constructed at Tijuana. This arena
he announced would seat $4,000 per-
sons. CONSTRUCTION, ne QeCldTSu,
would take several months.

the Lower California Jockey club.

gotiations by Charles Harvey, his rep

only instructions given to Harvey were

Carpenters manager.

Until I hear from Harvey or Des-
camps" he said, 'I shall be more or
less in the dark, of course, but it will
not take long to start operations here
when we hear from the other side. I
am sure 1 am not over sanguine when

There will be no trouble in getting

Naturally, I should like to have the

Forgetting the things that are be-

ness and losses, let us press for
ward that we may regain business,
recoup losses, that we may recreate
prosperity and employment, that we
may bring happiness where there is
now poverty and sorrow, and profit
able employment for the millions
seeking work.
The task before us is big enough
to stir the heroic in American man
hood, but the prizes to be won are
great enough to stimulate all the
latent ambitions Of every man and
woman.
Here are 105,00O,O00 people
taken as a whole the most virile,
energetic and resourceful in the
world, living under one flag, unvexed
by the arbitrary dividing lines of
European nationalities, occupying

Our resources are beyond the
power of our minds to grasp or of

Here in almost endless abundance
are the resources on which to build
an industrial and agricultural wealth
greater than that of all the world
today.
With 6 per cent of the worlds
population and 6 per cent of the
worlds land area, we already pro-
duce from 40 to 60 per cent or over
of nearly all the greatest products
of the world; have nearly half the
worlds railroad mileage and third
of the worlds accumulated wealth,
and this wealth is more evenly dis
tributed than in any other country
on earth through all the ages of the
past or present.
And yet we have scarcely begun
to develop our natural resources as
measured by their vast extent.
Let us, therefore, forgetting the
blunders of the Federal Reserve
Board and the losses which it has
brought, go forward.
let US build mighty network Of
highways, so badly needed; let us
modernize and extend our rail and
