starts down let it accelerate naturally

KEARNS PLANS
TO TEST HIS
RIGHTS
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Jack
Kcarns, who claims still to be the man
ager of Jack Dempsey, filled his foun-
tain pen this morning and started for
the state athletic commission, presum-
ably to affix his signature to a con-
tract binding Dempsey to a title match
with Harry Wills, his negro chal-
lcnger.
Kearns seeks to test the validity of
his contract with Dempsey and at the
same time make his peace with the
boxing solons of the Empire State. He
figures he can accomplish both by
signing up for a title match in spite
of Dempsey's declarations that here
after he will conduct his own bust
ness affairs and spill his own ink.

MAY STRIKE SNAG.

There is a strong possibility that
Kearns will strike a snag when it
comes to signing the contract, cspe-
cially if the New York state commits
sion suggests cash forfeit of five
figures to bind the agreement. Kearns
has intimated that. rain or shine. he
will sign the contract despite the fact
that his friends along Broadway have
advised against such procedure.

MAY NOT

IN AMATEUR
This is one of a series on the
leading golfers of America who will
compete for the national amateur
title the end of this month at Oak
mont, Pa.

OAKMONT, Pa, Aug. 14.-Charlie
(Chick) Evans Jr., of Chicago, only
man to win the national open and
amateur golf titles in one year, must
make a remarkable recovery from his
present form if he is to be a factor
in the 1925 amateur event at the
0akmont Country Club, August 81
to September 5.
Evans obtained both championships
in 1916 and held them for three years
as there were no tournaments in 1917
and 1913 because of the war. Crowd
ed from the top by Francis Ouimet
in the third round of the 1919 play,
he regainCd the crown a year later
and at the same time had sweet re-
vcngc, for OuimCt was his victim and
the score very one-sidcd, Z and 6. For
five years he occupied the place il
golf that Bobby Jones does today.

Fort FIGHTS
FOR BIG
{ EVENT
Skeletons Announcement
" Premature, Says
III Captain Berry.

Young Stribling, Georgia's heavy
weight sensation, will fight in San
Antonio.
But will he fight for Jack Shelton
at one of the local baseball parks, or
will he fight for the army promoters
in the Fort Sam Houston stadium?
Captain X. l.. Berry and Lieutenant
Fl. W. Killpack, Uncle Sans duly-au-
thorized "Tex" Richards, read in The
Light Thursday the announcement
that Jack Shelton, who holds forth
pugilistically at Schwab Field, had re-
ceived telegram closing arrangements
for heavyweight bout here August 81
between Young Stribling and Jack
League, to be held at one of the ball
orchards.
THOMAS DID 1T.
The telegram to Shelton came from
Jay j. Thomas, advance man for the
Stribling party, including PA" Ma"
and a younger brother, now barnstorm-
ing through the Middle West.
Captain Berry produced correspond
eDce-letters and telegrams-dating
back to July %, with none other than
PA" Stribling himself, which indi-
Gated that PA" was merely checking
over his date book before giving the
Fort Sam Houston promoters the
%. X. for a Stribling appearance
a gainst Jack League in the camp sta
Gium on August 81.
SThe army officials received a tele-
gram Friday morning from Jay Thorn
as, who wired Shelton. saying that eff
forts were being made to straighten
out the tangle.
MISTAKEN FOR HOUSTON.
Thomas, who is a personal friend of
Shelton's, explained in his wire to Cap
tain Berry that he had glanced hastily
at messages he received from PA"
Stribling about the date here and that
he had understood it was Houston"
and not Fort Sam Houston" the
Striblings were dealing with. This
explains giving Shelton August 81 as
a date and Fort Sam Houston-which
was Houston to Thomas-August 81.
Fort Sam Houston expects to claim
the bout by right OF prior arrange
ments.
OFFER 40 PER CENT.
Forty per cent of the gross receipts
was the offer made to Stribling by the
army officials, with the customary
transportation. This was satisfactory
10 "Pa" Stribling.
Jack Shelton has opened negotia-
tions for the use of League Park, home
of the Bears.
Jack League. who is slated to meet
the Atlanta battIer, was promised $3.50
by Shelton. Fort Sam Houston of
fered him ten por cent of the gross re-
ceipts, which Captain Berry believes
will net him $500 or more.

year he failed to- qualify in the mid

consent of Congress and accept the
invitation.
Senator Johnson claimed that reser-
vations which were made part Of the
treaty of Berlin. whereby Germany
and the United States resumed friend
ly relations, specifically said tina
America was not to take part i'll any
commission under the terms Of the
League of Nations covenant or any
other part OF the Versailles treaty
without the consent Of Congress.
What the treaty Of Berlin really stlpu.
lated was that the United States was
not bound" by any provisions Of the
covenant or the acts Of any commits
sions esta bliShed under the covenant.
unless consent We're given by Con
greSs.
Mr.. Coolidge takes the position that
the United States cannot he bound,
anyhow. on any international agree
ment without the consent of two
thirds of the Senate. Also. a reserva-
ton in a treaty between the United
States and a foreign power is not an
amendment to the Constitution which
gives the President the power to con
duct foreign relations.
He always has had the power TO
appoint ambassadors and special en-
voys to take part in International con
ferences and does not require the con
sent of Congress to do SO. The only
consent required is when an agree
ment is ready for congressional ratif-
cation.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Coolidge may take
the precaution Of asking the Attorney
General for legal opinion so that all
doubts may be resolved in advance.
The concensus Of opinion among con
stitutional lawyers is that Mr.. Cool
idge has just as much right now, even
with the treaty Of Berlin in effect, as
any other President had to send com
missioners to international confer
ences, and that the United States has
sent ENJOYS to various gatherings III
Europe in the last few years without
asking the permission of Congress.
