WALL|NG IS HERO
OF WINNING CREW
Washington Beats Navy in
College Regatta,
By United Press

bU O7I5LcO FTCSS
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 20.
And they said he couldn't row!
A stroke oar with a bad knee, but
a heart Of oak, and seven inspired
young western huskies, who toiled to
victory behind him, today possess the
cup symbolic Of the intercollegiate
rowing championship Of 1928. while
pays tribute to Don Walling and the
Washington crew.
Something Of the open spaces for
which the West is famous showed be-
tween the Washington shell and the
firing champion Navy crew which
toiled in second place in the varsity
race Of the annual intercollegiate re-
gatta Thursday, while shells Of Co.
lumbia, Syracuse, Cornell and Penn
sylvania splashed in the rear in order.
Walling had been counted out of
the race Tuesday. His knee swollen,
| discolored. frightfully painful, seemed
certain to prevent him from rowing.
In the race Walling stroked his
eight in mastery fashion that never
gave a hint at any time of what he
must be suffering.
| Washington's time was slow
14:3 1-5-half a minute behind Nays
| 1922 record.
Cornell snatched by a foot or two a
victory chat the Washington fresh
men appeared to have won in the two
mile race for first-year crews.
Syracuse, as expected, won the
Junior varsity, with Cornell second and
| Columbia third.

Ordinary amusements pail on Jack.
They do not give him the opportunity
to let out the flood Of energy
stored up in him. Dempsey enters
the ring with the same feeling that
a hungry man advances on his din
ner.
Tom Gibbons. on the other hand,
does not love fig hitting. Nature en-
dowed Tommy with some hands that
he figured could best be turned to ac-
count in the prize ring. So Gibbons
became a prizef1ghter. He made
fighting his business, his trade-and
studied 1t accordingly.
Gibbons IS plugger. He's thor
ough. He's studied from the ground
up the business he has made his
LIES work.
The results are what might be ex-
pected. Gibbons is mechanically per-
feet. He knows all the details of
the roped-in battle-ground.
But fighting is only business with
Tommy. With Dempsey, it's life.
Gibbons probably will be the cooler

the thrill Of battle. It is not likely he
will have any set plan Of action other
than that Of ceaseless attack.
Jacks defense will be instructive.

prospective promoters, suggested that
Dempsey. who is entitled to. payment
of 100000 on July 2, waive his con-
tract rights and go on with the fight
with the privilege of taking all the
gate receipts up to the amount due
him.
Nothing doing" was Kearns' an
swer in effect.
They Feel Inundated
Growing resentment of Montana
private citizens and public officials at
the humiliation facing them because
Of the demands Of Dempsey to fight
in Shelby, brought two significant de-
velopments today.
1. Attorney General Rankin. at
Helena, Indicated that Dempsey
and Jack Kearns would run afoul
of the law, should the fight not
occur by reason of Dempsey's re-
fusal and ticket buyers not be
refunded in full.
2. Johnny O'Neill, son of the
: Los Angeles oil and cattle baron.
who has been combing Great Falls
and northern Montana for the last
100000 installment needed to
meet the contract figure imposed
by Dempsey, declared he was be-
ing rebuffed on all sides. His
father, he added, would not invest
a dollar in the fight
1t May Need Undertaken
So, with the show taking on the
appearance of something needing an
undertaken. with the date of the fight
almost at hand and with public conf
dence believed here to have been
shattered, interest centered in the
attitude Of certain State officials.
Declaring that Dempsey was hold
ing out for "the last dollar of an I'M
considerable bargain" Attorney Gen
eral Rankin said that neither the
champion nor Kearns, his manager,
can sit idly by, knowing that tick
cts are being sold, without rendering
themselves culpable under our laws,
unless every dollar is refunded to pur-
chasers of tickets in the event the
contest does not take place by rea-
son Of Dempsey's refusal
Business With Kearns.
After having fatty turned down
today's proposition, Kearns said:
IF it's craftsmanship they want
I'll let Dempsey fight Tommy Glib
bons in private in a locked room, and
Jack will knock him apart. That's
how sporting we are. But this affair
at Shelby is a business proposition
Sportsmansfip does not enter into
st."
Although Kearns professed to be
undismayed by a threat of Attorney
General Rankin to proceed against
him under the laws against fraud in
case the fight should not come off,
friends advised him to speak softly
of Rankin.
Rankin indicated fighter and mana
ger would be prosecuted on a charge
of obtaining money under fraudulent
pretenses If they attempted to leave
Montana with the 100000 already
paid them as part Of the champions

DOUBLE HEADER
Two With Hens Today and a
Couple More Saturday,
Petty Trims Visitors,

Two games today, two games Satur-
DAY and the Indians will be on their
way to enemy territory to be gone
until the last week in July.
With twin bills offered on successive
days the fans certainly can't kick
about quantity entertainment. Fact
Of the matter it is seldom bargains
like that are offered in league base
ball, especially weekday. Two many
postponements is the reason and the
rooters get the benefit.
Petty Had Their Number
For the double pastinning this after
noon Hill and Burwell were due to
fling for the Indians. The Tribe won
Thursday, to 4, with Jess Petty
twirling big league ball after the first
inning when the Hens counted their
four markers. Not a visitor reached
third thereafter. Jess appeared as
strong as an OK and he whipped the
sphere through with plenty on it.
Two contests were carded Thurs
day, but the field was in bad shape
because Of rain and the club officials
decided to play only a single con-
f1ict
Tribe Rallies in Second
When the Hens grabbed four runs
off the reel the fans thought the
Tribe had bumped into a defeat, but 1t
took only until the second inning for
the home boys to get started and in
that session they sent five runs over
the plate, took the lead and added to
it in the later innings.
