DEMPSEY is LOOKING
TO GO WITH GIBBONS
nv FAIR PLAY.


NEW YORK, December 13.-Jack
Dempsey has started training out on
the west coast This fact became
known today. He excited no suspi-
cion when he left here until 1t be-
came known that Jerry the Greek,
his trainer, went with him. Then
came word he was getting down to
business.
Jacks actions-now that his vaude
Vile tour is over and he has no rea-
son to excite the public-would look
as though he does expect to get
good guarantee from Tex Rickard to
go against Gibbons.
Even with training, Tommy will
catch the champion just the way he
caught him at She1by-without the
benefit Of good fight under HIS belt
in preparation.
The reason Dempsey did not punish
Gibbons more in Montana was be-
cause through his lack of real expe-
rience his eye was not good. When
he dashed out with all his power for
the body his poor aim was shown by
two or more low blows that the ref
cree could easily have called foul
What Old Nick would have been
raised had Gibbons been enough of a
hound to have dropped pretending he
had been disabled by one, Of Jacks
low blows. There would have been
shooting sure. If Jimmy Dougherty
had been unwilling to take Demp-
sey's title away from him.
Dempsey Is older and there Is no
telling how poor he may be in his
timing when he meets an elusive tar
get like Gibbons. It does not stand
to reason that Tommy can hurt Jack.
but he might make great showing
so far as points are concerned.

The v. NJ. I. and Kentucky man

cities as possible scenes of the Cadet

was not mentioned although it was
the original intention to name him.
The National League was working
upon the members OF the American
League themselves and it was openly
admitted that it was feared an at
tack on Johnson by name would
solidify the opposition The next
move was the adoption of resolu
tions by the American League affirm
ing the integrity of the commissioner
of base ball, which no one had dis
puted.
When the American leaguers adopt
ed their resolutions the thing was
unanimous SO far as all leagues were
concerned, but there was still joint
session to be held at which the Ma
commissioner would read Johnson out
of office.
The joint session was to have taken
place in New York, December IL. but
Illness of Mrs. lands prevented the
Judge coming East He agreed to
postponement of the joint session
to Chicago this coming week.
The power Of the commissioner of
base ball is absolute. The club own
ers and the league presidents signed
an agreement at the time that Lands
was put in office that he should be
supreme and he has worked earnest
ly and faithfully to live up to his
assignment. The agreement also
stipulated that no one of the parties
to the agreement should criticize an
other and there is where Lands
yields the large and big stick.
He can GUST Johnson if he wants
to do it.

This committee is composed OF
Messrs Rupert, Shibe and Barnard,
Ievel-headed men who are not likely
to permit the president of their
league to be ousted without q. pro-
test. They might as well make up
their minds that they will have
fight of that character on their
hands If they submit, the National
League will rule the roost and any
incoming president Of the American
League will have to sit in the corner
with his Jaws tightly tied. National
League members are elated at the
turn things have taken, and some of
them are boasting they have johnson
on his back at last.
All the rumple and rumpus that
have been heard In base ball for, the
last three weeks is the result of two
players being fired from the New
York Nationals.
The major leagues were conducting
their 1924 championships at lickety
brindle clip. paying no attention to
one another. when suddenly as the
world series was coming into the
of1ng, O'Connell and Dolan were
called into the presence OF Commits
sioner Lands and President Heydler.
There O'Connen gave up his now
famous story Of attempted bribery.
lean League heard these men had
been expelled he was for having the
Washingtons play the world series
with the second-place Brooklyns and
not with New York. He did not ad-
yocate abandoning the world series.
johnson was quoted as saying that
the commissioner should sink the
probe further than he had. Dreyfuss
of Pittsburgh also wanted. more
thorough investigation and some of
the newspapers demanded it.. Com
missioner Lands had 1t out with the
newspnpermen in Washington and
went through the series with a chlp
on his shoulder.
Matters rested quietly on the sur
| face until just before the meeting of
| the minor leagues in Haroford,, when
there was a hurried call to con-
ference in Chicago and campaign
was set going.
| It's first shot was fired at Hartford,
where the minor leagues. not con-
cerned In the least in the quarrel, took
up the matter Of gambling on the
Pacific Coast as their pretext to get
| into the shindy.
| The Pacific Coast wanted the asso-
citation to make the fight of the coast
league also the fight of the associa-
ton and 1T did 50. In resolutions
adopted, Ban johnson was the thinly
yelled object of attack by men and
leagues who owed him about all they
had. The association had nothing tc
do with the suspension of OConnel
and Doian, or any structures that
might have been made upon clubs OF
ofiicials. It was something entirely
/ out OF the province OF the minors. but
