These were Stanford, California.

Walter Christie, CALIFORNIA; mentor,

TODAYS GAM ES
Greb Is Too Light
for a Heavyweight
Says Jack Dempsey

Los Angeles, Cal, May 25.-Jack
Dempsey was home today after a
two months trip abroad. He declin-
cd to discuss plans for future bouts.
Commenting on the recent Greb-
Tunney set-to, the champion said
that while he thought Greb mighty
good man." the latter was out of
the question as heavyweight posi-
bility, simply because he's too light"
Nobody but superman can
give 20 pounds away and beat real
heavyweight" Dempsey declared.
The discussion turned to the Car
pentier- Lewis bout in London.
Did Carpenter foul Lewis?'
queried a scribe.
Il saw no foul" Jack responded.
The blow was fair, all right. Car
pentier was Just too rugged and good
for Lewis"
And Carpentier-is it certain you
will meet him in London next year."
Unless something goes wrong in
the meantime. Carpenter and I
surely will meet again next year
and unless he shows great improve
ment over our meeting here, will
beat him again"

Jimmy Murphy
at Speedway Race

indianapolis, May 25.-Jimmie Mur-
ply, the Irish flash. the last driver to
enter the 5OO-mile drive to be held at
Indianapolis on Tuesday. May 80
broke worlds record for 100 miles
in the last racing event before the
historic Hoosier classic.
He hurtlcd his car around the g.
tati course in California at the rate
Of 114.93 miles per hour. making the
century in less than SO minutes He
was two minutes under the former
mark made by Eddie Hearnc on the
same track.
Murphy has jumped into intcrna-
tional fame as a race driver, and IL
though a youngster is as we'll known
as many of the better pilots who have
been in the speed game for a number
of years.
His most notable achievement was
winning the French Grand Prix at LIE
Mans. France, year ago, being the
first Yank driver in an American car
to ever accomplish the feat on foreign
soil.
inroads on win, place or show posi-
tions in all the major events of recent
months and must be considered Sc
rious contender in the Indianapolis
event. in which he has competed twice
as driver and several times is rid
ing mechanic.
Quiet and unassuming, Murphy is
still boy in appearance. He got into
the racing game in most unusual
manner. He was employed in a garage
when a number of stock racing cars
arrived on the Pacific coast Murphy
was delegated to help prepare them
for the event. He liked it, was SUI
cess and soon after Joined the Du sen
berg forces. For some time he road
beside Champion Tommy Milton as me-
chanic but for three years has been
plotting cars in his own right and has
done mighty fine job of it. too
Murphy has been at the wheel of a
Duesenberg. but for the indianapolis
race he has a brand new car built on
the Pacific coast. He has not named
it vet and probably won't until a day
or two before the race.
Jimmy was fourth at indianapolis
last year-and that after the steering
knuckle of his car had broken and
thrown him out of the running for
some time. He is a nervy. headv driv-
er, and will bear watching in the In

Bates BANKING ON RAY BUKER
TO COP NATIONAL TW0-M|LE
TITLE AT STADIUM TOMORROW
Especial to Kennebec JournaL(

Especial to Kennebec JournaL(
Lewiston, May 25.-Coach Chester
A. Jenkins of Bates, accompanied by
Raymond 3. Buker, '22; Leroy c.
Luce, 30, and Benjamin r. Sargent,
'25, will leave today for the inter-
collegiate at Cambridge. In Buker
strongest men in the track games,
winners at every meet they have en-
tered this year. Sargent is another
strong man who has been dependable
at every meet.
Ray Buker realizes that in the two
mile race at Cambridge he faces
perhaps the hardest run of his career
and yet the plucky little garnet cap
tain is out to preserve his wonderful
record. This record is more than a
credit to him and to Bates. For
four consecutive years he has won
the two mile run at the Maine In
tercollegiate, this year breaking the
record with the time Of 9.45 1-5. He
has also annexed the Maine Cross
Country title every year since he has
been running for the garnet.
In 1920 he won the New England
Cross Country run. For two years
he has won the New England title in
the two mile at the annual meet. This
year his time was 9.46 Is. His
greatest distinction, however, lies in
the fact that he is the only man who
tI,n
Penn Relay Carnival for two sue
cessive years. Last year his time
was 925. This year he was not
pushed so hard and won in 9.36. His
hackers believe that with good COM
petition he can equal if not lower
his last years record.
Leroy c.. Luce, Bates big discus
man, is perhaps the best weight man
who ever wore a garnet jersey. lie
has been a mainstay at every meet
for two years. Last year he copied
the State title in the discus. This
year he repeated with heave of 49,
IS feet. At the New Hampshire State
dual meet he again turned the trick.
This year at the New England meet
he proved the wisdom Of the dopes-
tiers who had given him first place
by winning with a throw of 10 feet,
inches. In practice, the big boy
has bettered this by several feet. He
has the power, he has the form and
ought to show up we'll on Satur-
day.
Benjamin II. Sargent, the garnet's
miller, is an excellent example of
man discovered and developed by the
foresight of a coach. This is his first
year in the track game but his per-
formances show that his future has
promise. He won his event at the
New Hampshire State dual and took
second in a plucky race with Herrick
of Maine at the Maine Intercollegiate
in the fast time of 4.25. He showed
his worth at the New England's when
he won over Mones of Brown and
Mahoney of &. C., taking second to
Sanborn of MI. T., in 431 2-3.
