Tap Day Frolics Fatal
to Ydle's Rowing Crews

Guy Nickalls. the Englisi, rowing au-
thority. who recently terminated an en-
sasement as coach to Yale Under
strained conditions, departed for the
British Isles nursing a few grievances
against certain oarsmen Of Ola Eli who
he believes had much to do with the
severance of his relations with the New
Haven university.
Mr.. Nickalls's side of the events which
led up u his retirement from rowing
affairs at Yale are Incorporated In a
letter he wrote to the chairman OF the
university's board of control. Among
other things the English rowing expert
brands as a falsehood the statement that
he had lost faith in the crew. Further
more ho protests that the acceptance
of the statement OF the cartain of the
crew containing criticisms OF his meth
DDS and condition Of the men should
not have called for action against him
until after an open and impartial In
quiry.
He believes that he was entitled to a
thorough Investigation OF the propa-
Randa directed against him because the
captain and coxswain were active In

happened in his immediate neighbor-

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien reentered
the ring and the fans thought there was
to be a, return engagement. But Jack
merely came back to do tugging stunt
with the champion. They pushed and
feaved at each other. but invariably
OBrien was driven back by the cham
pion's superior strength. O'Brien could
scarcely bulge him. Dempsey at times
fairly lifted him from the floor and
finally the Philadelphian went so far
backward that he toppled into heap on
the canvas like an Acrobat.
Dempsey skipped the rope for while
went through his floor calisthenics. and
the shoV was over.
Pictures were taken with abandon to-
day. Dempsey, Kearns. Teddy Hayes
who acted as announcer and ringmas-
ter; the sparring partners, spectators
and even newspaper men being called

stances would permit. with strong sun

and pulleys exercise. and then there
were movies and stills by large bat

Dempsey. Kearns. Hayes. OBrien and

Brennan. He could go on at any time
and make good. His workout to-day

months because of an expected addition

Dempsey Heavy Amfdships.
Ringside observers of the champion
noted that despite his heavy work Of the
last few days he Is a bit fleshy amid
ships. He hasn't exactly a bay win
dow. but more flesh than he needs for
work like that planned for July 2. But
hard training Is to be the rule now and
he can wear this upholstery OF.
Battling Ghee thinks Dempsey is In
first class shape He ought to know. The
Battler Is just about feeling comfortable
after his recent drubbing. He said he
may put on the gloves with the cham
pion tomorrow. II he does. he Will use
an entirely different style. He was pro-
foundly interested in that long range
gun symphony that Eddie O'Hara en-
ployed with so much success yesterday
and to-day.
There was a special invitation from
Jack Kearns to the newspaper corre-
spondents to be photographed with the
champion in front OF Jacks cottage
Dempsey plainly displayed irritation for
the frst time since he came to town
He was tired and blistering from his
work in the sun and wanted to get un-

urged the picture men to hurry and the
shutters clicked before some Of the more
