and all left the large arena fully
satisfied with the card produced. Only
four bouts were put on, but they were
full of pepper and two resulted in
clean knockouts.
Benny Schwartz of Baltimore and
Battling Murray of Philadelphia. went
through twelve rounds OF milling in
the feature, at times showing real
punch and again showing a decided
disposition to stall to such an extent
that the referee was compelled to
warn them. Schwartz showed he was
a good, clever two-handed boy,
though. and earned decision.
Jumbo. Eggleston Knocked out Phil
Brock of Baltimore in the sixth round
of the semi-windup, with right to
the button.
Kid Cafoni of Walter Reed Hospital
had his hands full with Tommy Her
man of Baltimore, a real sure enough
youngster. Both boys fought hard.
The draw decision rendered was a
fair one.
Luke Mccarthy of Washington made
Jimmy Hogan of Baltimore take the
count in the second round.

II Dempsey could do so much damage
to Firpo. why didn't he pulveriZe Glib

all sides One answer is that Jack is
never so well pleased than when he can
stand fiat-footed and sock. Something
has, got to drop when he is in such Al
happy position. But Gibbons is fast
and elusive and to hit him Dempsey had
to be constantly on the move. When
the two men were together Gibbons had
as about a neat a system of blocking
Dempsey's arms as fight followers ever
saw.
In other words. Gibbons. who has
never been knocked down in the ring,
world, and being constantly on the
move, shifting, swaying and holding,
Dempsey could do nothing but outpoint
his opponent. And finally Dempsey had
not fought in two years up TO the Glib
bons meeting. He was inaccurate In

perience of that Shelby fight was worth
a million to the champion.
shortcomings of the referee in the
Dempsey y-Firpo battle. Dempsey's fall
ure to go to his corner upon the occa-
sion of knockdowns and displays of ap-
parent stupidity by Firpo were all due
to the swift pace at which the battle
was carried. This was not an ordinary
boxing match. 1t was fight, swift,
grim. desperate, such as two longshore-
men might put up. There was no time
TO think of rules or of anything else.
Try to get any two spectators of this
battle to agree upon any one phase of
the scrap and some idea will be OBJ

in the ring and out of it.

Veteran tournament player, winner of

for his long distance driving.
1t is my opinion that the majority
of average players should use a
spoon instead of brassie for most
fairway drives. The spoon gives
almost as much distance 1t is used
with more confidence because it
gives the ball more loft. One hun-
dred and fifty yards with a spoon is
better than a dub with a brassie.
Considering that the average player
will dub more shots with a brassie,
[ think he will come out better in
the long run by using the spoon for
most fairway driving.

JERSEY TRACKS
ARE REMOTE
CHANCE
Odds on Probability of Reviv-
ing Sport RidicuIousIy
Long.
By WILLIE FITZPATRICK.
written for Cosmopolitan News
9ATsvfan

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The
chances Of .reviving horse racing
in New Jersey are at least 1000 to
one third. There are not enough
figures in the layout to quote a
straight price. After several years
of slumber, one could not find a
single person to yes the story.
| August Belmont, chairman of the
Jockey Club, said he was too busy
to even give the story a thought for
comment.
According to Attorney General
Thomas r. McCran, in a news dis
patch from Trenton, a racing bill
or any other bill presented to
change the constitution would have
to make a safe journey through
two legislatures and then go to the
citizens of the State for a referen-
dunn vote.
This would take two whole years.
Even if it weathered the legislature
storms, it would have to be a
mighty staunch craft to go through
the typhoon Of votes cast by the
public.
When the Jersey legislature
killed racetrack gambling in 1897,
they buried it in legal tomb that
even King Tut's excavators couldn't
unearth.
It was q sad day for the New
York tracks If pari-mutuel letting
were allowed in Jersey. There
would be nothing left for the track
owners to do but send for the
carpenters and nail up the gates.
Under the present system In
vogue in this State it is next to
impossible for a stranger to make
a wager, while all he would need
across the Hudson would be tube
fare and a pocketful Of deuceS.

Strand is only about twenty
seven years old, though nine
years have passed since he
last wore a major league
uniform and rode in a Pullman.
Then he was raw and unknown, a
wild young pitcher, unable to con-
troll his stuff" It was this lack
Of control which sent him back to
the minors. For a while he tried
to become a pitcher. He worked
now and then at first base. But
not till he became an outfielder
did he strike the right path, bring
ing him for the second time to
the top of the baseball heap.
In 1922, playing with Duffy
Lewis Salt Lake club in the Pa
cific Coast League, Strand swatted
out 289 safe hits, establishing a
world record. He went way be-
yond that during the past season,
which explains why he comes up to
the Mackmen.
During the past season Strand
collected total of 1926 safe hits,
his average being .394 and giving
him the batting leadership of the
coast circuit.
Strand is the first player to lead
the Coast League in hitting and
home runs two years in succession.
During the 1923 campaign
Strand scored 100 runs, a new
world record, and batted in 1877
tallies, AT more than his nearest
rival. He made 43 home runs, 10
more than the Coast League record.
That Strand is not exactly a
dead one in the outfield is seen by
his total Of 612 accepted chances,
new world record. He caught
500 fly balls, a new record for
earnest and successful endeavor.
Connie Mack, who saw Strand in
action last summer, says the Coast
League star will surely make good
in the big show. He expects to use
him in center field, replacing the
scrappy Sparkle" Matthews. If
Strand begins to equal his Coast
League stuff in the American
League, he will be called a huge
success.
