JESS WILLARD IN
FAIR CONDITION
Whether He Has Chance Against
Jack Dempsey Is Another
Matter
By BILLY EVANS

what about Jess Willard? Has he
a chance with Jack Dempsey?
Those two queries have been fired
at me time and again since a return
bout between Dempsey and Willard
has been suggested.
During recent trip to New York,
Wizards training quarters at Madi-
son Square Garden was one of my
detectives. l wanted to get the real
dope first-handed on Willard, wanted
to form an opinion as to his chance
with Dempsey should he again meet
the champion.

Day To Witness Another Chap0nshD Fighters Suspended
BRITISH TENNIS PLAYERS
FAVOR HARD COURTS

LONDON, May 16.-Tennis Ike
everything else in these progressive
days, has TO conform to altered world
conditions and, following the change
from old to new Wimbledon and the
abolition Of worlds tiUla' there
from, comes the news that the Bri-
fish Davis Gun trial matches viii
probably be held on hard courts. This
is in order that the selected players
may be used to the courts on which
most of the Is competing countries
play, and also to the probability that
the British team viii have to go to
Belgium where hard courts are used.
These forthcoming trials, so far
as England is concerned, as likely
to bring out every little new talent,
and the old country will have to rely
on such old guards as Bingscote,
Crawley, Gilbert, Lycett, Lowe, Max
Woosnam, and Roper Barrett. The
only new man mentioned with any
pretensions to Davis Cup form is the
young 23-year-old South African, j..
d. P. Wheatley, who has been edu-
Gated here and has qualifications to
play for Great Britain.
Wheatley showed remarkable form
recently when he won the Covered
Courts Championship at Queens Club
beating in the final game the Inter-
national Indian player, Doctor A.

Frpo and Former Champion
Matched to Box Not Laicr
Than July 7 Next

Next Championship Battle TO Be
Fought Labor Day, According
to Tex Richard
WINNER TACKLES DEMPSEY

NEW YORK, May 16.-The pre-
liminaTy move toward another con
test for the worlds heavyweight
championship was made late Tues
day by Tex Richard, promoter, in
the signing Of Jess Willard, former
title holder, and Louis tIgpo, Ar
gentine giant, for a contest to be
held in New York or vicinity not
later than July z.
The winner viii be matcho I with
Jack Dempsey in title contest,
which probably will be held next
Labor Day.
Richard declined to reveal the
terms for the Firpo-Willard match
except that they will fight on a per
centage basis. Experts, however,
figure that the bout will draw a gate
Of at least half million dollars and
that the share Of each principal
would he at least 100000.
The contest will be staged either
at Boye's thirty acres in Jersey
City, or the Yankee Stadium. The
attitude Of the State Athletic Com
mission toward Willard also may
have a bearing on whether the bout
is staged here. William Muldoon,
chairman of the commission and
author of the rule preventing men
ever 80 years Of age from boxing in
the state, allowed Willard to meet
Johnson last Saturday because the
affair was for charity.
1t was believed however, that the
age ruling would be set aside in view
of Wizards victory over Johnson.
Willard, satisfied that his victory
over johnson proved his physical fit
ness and ended the talk about him
being too old, left last night for Los
Angeles.

RIDE SURF-BOARD?
BETTY COMPSON EXPERT

l. + ]
Surf-board riding and outrigger-
canoeing, favorite sports Of the
tropics, are no longer mysteries to
Betty Compson, the petite Para
mount star who went to Hawaii for
the purpose Of filming her latest
picture 'The White Flower" which
will be presented for two days
showing at the Rylander theater be-
ginning today.
On the famous beach Of Waikiki,
under the tutelage Of native masters
OF these fine arts, Miss Compson
learned to ride the waves with the
best of them.
Of the two, surf-board riding
proved to be much more difficult.
In the story of THE White Flow
err the star plays the role of half
caste girl, who is a complete. mis-
tress of these sea sports. So Miss
Compson promptly secured an IN
structor and devoted all spare time
to the pleasura5le task of Tearing
lust how it is done.
Edmund Lowe, who plays the lead
ing masculine role in this Para
mount picture, was an enthusiastic
pupil Of the native instructors, al
though his role did not demand that
he ride the combers before the cam
era.

Hold Sutclife
for Manslaughter
in Diploma Probe

Hartford, Conn, Dec. IA bench
warrant for George M. Sutcliffe,
who practiced medicine at Union
vile, and under whose hands AL
bert c. Hoody, war veteran, died
while being operated on for a crush
ed finger, was issued this afternoon
by Judge Frank ID. Haines, in SUI
perior court, the charge being man
slaughter. A bond was fixed at $4,000
and SutcIiffe was given until P. M.
tomorrow to furnish a security.
The basis of the charge against
Sutcliffe is that on August % last
he gave Hoody an overdose of on an
esthetic while attempting to ampu-
tate a finger. Sutcliffe held a diplo-
ma which he had obtained in St.
Louis, Mo-, and it has been charged
that the diploma was bogus. The
charge against him results from
efforts of the extraordinary grand
jury which began a probe of the ex-
iseence in Connecticut of diplomas
from alleged diploma mills in the

CHILD TELLS HOW /:
DEED WAS DONE

New York, Dec. Police tonight
i indicated that the search for the
murderer of Irving Pickelny, four
years old, whose mutilated body was
found in a cellar near his Grand
street home, has ended with the ar.
rest of Nathan Schatsky.
The man was arrested upon com.
plant of two women who said he
was trying to entice Phillip Wachtel.
five years old, to the roof of the
tenement in which he lives. Schat-
sky, the police said, told them he
had killed Irving.
Il Detectives said they took Schatsky
to Irving's home and he pointed out
the building of his own. volition as
the place from which he had taken
the boy. Then, the detectives said,
Schatsky. without further prompting,
led them to the building at Il Suf-
folk street and down into the SUBJ
basement where the body was found.
Schatsky enacted with the detec-
tives what he said was the manner
in which he had strangled the boy
and laid the body across the box.
The Pickelny murder stirred the
entire lower East Side, and indeed
the whole city. The boy disappear
ed from his home on October %, and
after several days of searching po-
lice expressed the belief that he had
been killed by a demented person.
Tim on the twentieth of November

ment on Suffolk street. The dark
cellar was filled with boxes. and as
they stumbled about looking for a
gas leak one of them happened upon
Irving's body.

COURT FORCES DRY
AGENTS TO RETURN
100000 LOT BOOZE

New York, Dec. IA strange
sight was seen on Ard Street today
by a throng of theatfegoers who had
gathered to witness liquor raid and
saw, instead, federal prohibition
agents carry 100000 worth of real
pre- war stuff into-not out of-the
cellar of Jacks restaurant.
The liquor was seized in that same
cellar two years ago. 1t VS. return
ed today by order of Federal Judge
Goddard. who held the method of
confiscation had been illegal.
Although the case was recorded ON
the docket as "thc United States
versus Twenty Six Gallons of Gin"
all the liquid fixtures Of an old-time
bar were logged into the cellar,
everyt.-..g was in bottles with age
stained laoels-ScCtch, rye. clalet,
vermouth, benedictine. cor ais,
brandies. a dozen or so of champagne
and gin.
John Dunston, owner of the res
taurant and liquor seized stood be-
side the cellar door, wearing a
broad grin and directing the federal
prohibition men where he wanted the
stuff stored.
When three big red moving vans
rumbled up to the restaurant and a
score of officers jumped to the curb.
such n crowd gathered that police
reserves were called out. And when
the officers swung cases on shoulders
and headed for the cellar, it took
more police to stem the tide that
crushed toward the restaurant swing
ing half-doors.
A few old time patrons of the place
shed tears of joy at the sight. A few
women jeered the Woodworking
agents and smiled on the proprietor.
But for the most part the crowd was
strangely quiet.
Dunston said he would keep his
stock intact. in the hope of a return
of days that used to De. He Toured
it worth 100000 when it was seized.
Prohibition agents said it was worth
100000 now.

Race Track Losers
Paying Bets with
U. S. Victory Bonds

New York. Dec. Victory bonds
are beins used nowadays at race

reputed to be one of New York s
heaviest gamblers. testified at to-
days hearing in the bankruptcy case
Of r. E. Fuller and Company buck
eteers. He added that at one time
he had bought $150,0OO worth of
bonds at track.
Rothstein made this statement
while claiming the constitutional
rights not to reveal the source of Sc
curlties which he pledged as collat-
eral to obtain loans from the Fuller
concern. Referee Coffin reserved de-
cision on a request from William M.
Chadbourne. counsel for Fuller cred
itors, that the witness be made to
answer.
Chadbourne read a list of victory
bond numbers, but Rothstein said he
could not identify them as his COL
lateral
"Why, you could buy them from a
truck" commented the witness. At
the race track. or anywhere. Why, l
bought $150,000 worth there"
Maybe they were paying bets that
way?" observed ChaGbourne.
That's fact too"
