FOUR YOUTHS IN
BIDDING FOR
DUNDEE
MandeII, ferris, KapIan, and
Bernstein All Want
Crack.

NEW YORK. April 22.-Johnny
Dundee isn't doing much else these
days but ,thumbing over challenges
from young men who aspire to
bounce the Junior lightweight
crown off his aging thatch.
Four men went to mix It with
Dundee at the 100 limit and each
is entitled to the privilege. They
are: Sammy Mandell, Sid ferris,
Kid Kaplan and Jack Bernstein.
Bernstein once held the title.
Kaplan is Q tough citizen from
Connecticut, and Mandell and Ter
ris, who fought draw during the
winter, are fast as forked lightning
and extremely clever. Mandell
held Bernstein, who once whipped
Dundee. to q draw.
So, IL Terris drew with Mandell
and Mandell drew with Bernstein
who has won from Dundee-and
Kaplan is as good as his trio OF
challenging mates-it looks as IL
Dundee is in for a lot OF trouble
II he mingles with either one.
And he must fight at least one OF
the group sooner or later to maintain
his prestige-and earn money.

NEW YORK. April 22.-Paddy

forward with offers to do anything

Sam many times, end deepy regrets
the plight that this once great
warrior now finds himself in.
The National Sports Alliance.
through its president, James J.
Johnston, will make some sort Of
announcement soon In regard to
Sam ycase.
The old fellow is in Los Angeles
with one eye blind for all time and
the other covered with q cataract
that IL slowly but surely cutting
off Sans vision. He is possibly
through for all time as q fighter
because of this affIiction, and it is
proposed to raise q fund to bring
him to this city to be operated on.
DIR. James w. Smith. of the
French and Post Graduate Hospi-
tails, has agreed to operate on
Langford's eyes and his great skill
probably will mean that Sam Lang
ford isn't to spend the rest Of his
days in utter darkness. We would
suggest that William Muldoon or
George Brewer. Of the boxing COM
mission, be named AZ treasurer Of
such a fund. 1t must be raised
and it will or we don't know box
ing fans. The boxers have never
failed, and let 1t be remembered
that when charity called Sam Lang.
ford always was one Of the first
to step forward to help with his
remarkable ability.

stance.
/ : He tolls not, neither does he spin.
And Solomon, in all his wisdom,
would not get warts on his brain
trying to dope out the Courtney
complex.
The leading pitcher of one of the
fastest, IL not the fastest, minor
leagues in the country, and appar.
emily quite proud of his record
there last year, this young man
absolutely refused to get in and
hustle this spring. He had no am
bition beyond hoping that he would
get back to that dear Coast League.
He had his wish. He was tickled
to death. Why?
Other ball players with less ma
tural ability than Courtney spend
their entire playing careers in the
minor leagues, hoping against hope
that some day a big league scout
will recommend them for q trial "6p
there" But Courtney, given the
chance, and that on q club where
any kind of pitching ability would
get him a steady job, did not have
the time nor the inclination to get
down to work. M
What's the answer to that one?
On the same club is another
pitcher, George Connally, whose am.
billions do not carry him above the
minors.
Here is pitcher who can win in
any league IL he cares to. He hal
had several trials in the big show,
but always signs for the minors.
He is still with the White Eox
and can be star with the club
II he cares to. But no ons has
ever been able to make him feel
satisfied with the lot Of a major
Lacquer.
Figure that one out. too.

Die Youngest.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, April 22.--
Indulgence in athletics prolongs life,
and does not shorten 1t.
w. H. Greer, physical director &C
Harvard. put forth statistics today
to bear out this assertion. He did
so after an exhaustive search az to
what happened to Harvard athletes
who were members Of the various
athletic teams between 1859 and
1000 period of forty-eight years.
1t is a generally accepted theory
Of life insurance companies that a
man who il normally wen and strong
at twenty can expect to live forty
two more years--a total life Of sixty.
two.
Greer based the average age Of all
Harvard competing athletes Of 1852
and other years at twenty. Nor
fnally. therefore, those who played
in 1852 could expect to live forty
two years more-or until 1896, after
which time, according to the basic
insurance statistics, they all should
have rolled right over and played
dead.
But quite q few of the boys fooled
the statisticians. Greer found that
fewer died before reaching the age
Of sixty.two than men who had not
gone in for sportive endeavors.
Greer for his test used:
159 oarsmen.
100 football players.
128 baseball players.

This entire heavyweight game
in America is pure showmanship,
that's all. Jack Dempsey has
helped to bring it about by his

also by his superior class in the
