Twelve months from now its poor"
remains can be exhumed for all the
world to see. 1t is not credible that
twelve months from date Dempsey
still will be telling the universe
that he has retired, that he has
not retired, that he will fight to-
morrow if necessary, that he Will
not fight until his motion picture
public has been duly gratified, etc.
BY that time he will have been
forced into the open as flghter
or into the outer darkness OF prl-
vate life.
If he does fight, there is no as
surance that his life OF ease ana re-
finement will not have exacted
physical toll SO heavy that some
piano mover, present identity I'M
known. will beat him. Dempsey IS
skating on thin ice and probably
knows it.
The lightweight title is already
vacated, thanks to the retirement
of Leonard; therefore, the impend-
ing aDDearance of a new cham
DiOn is a fOrmaIity. Leonard alb
dictated at his mothers beheSt,
but the fact remains that he
knew he couldn't defend the title,
anyhow. He had OutgrOWn the
class.
SO has Louis Kid kaplan, the
featherWeight champion created by
special dispensation of the New
York State Athletic Commission.
Kaplan, now sojourning on the
coast. couldn't get under 100 pounds
with a balloon under the armp1ts.
If you happen to disagree with
the commission and regard JOHNNY
Dundee as the titleholder, the re-
suit Is the same. John finds he
has outgrown the class and talks Of
reclaiming his title merely TO near
his back teeth ratCle. In addition,
he has become passe, and in the
words of the dental slogan, four out
of five featherweights will get"
him.
Villa, of a race that ages early,
is believed to be returning to Amer
lea as a legitimate bahtamWeight.
The holder of the latter title is
Charley Phil Rosenberg, young
man who is growing rapidly and
possibly will be forced into the
class above within six months. At
that he hasn't the ability of per
manent champion.
Harry Greb, midIeweight king, -
another relic of the past. He is
believed to be slowing up VITA

almost certain that Jack Delaney

on. and has helped greatly to make
the sport more interesting there.
Lorraine GULL is as well known
in bowling circles as Helen Wills
is out at the University Of Southern
California. Although the local

than her Baltimore rivals, she is

proud.
Lorraine picked up the first
sphere to fire down at ten unsus-
pecting pins just three years ago.

that the girl, really a novice at the

BIC BOAT RACE
EASY WIN FOR
CAMBRIDGE
Oxford Crew Left Far Behind
in English Rowing
Classic
PUTNEY ON THAMES, England.

PUTNEY ON THAMES, England,
March 2S.-Cambridge won it's an
nuaI' boat race with its ancient
rival, Oxford, on the historic
Thames river this afternoon. 1t
was the eightieth meeting Of the
two crews.
Oxford was virtually out of the
race when Cambridge passed the
three-miIe mark. At that time
Oxford had not appeared at the two
-half-mile post.
It was an easy victory for the
light blue oarsmen. After jumping
away to a half-boat length lead at
the start, they steadily pulled away
from the Oxford crew.
Oxford was out OF the running
after the second mile and the
Cambridge crew finished the last
mile padding in easy fashion.

About That Decision.
|THAT decision by the moguls
of the boxing game in New
York, the New York State
Athletic Commission, has brought
laughs from everybody, beginning
with Jack Dempsey, champion of
the world in the ring, down, to
the veriest blind man in Poko-
moke, Md.
Dempsey, a citizen of Cali
fornia or, possibly, Utah, is un-
licensed in New York. He is de-
clared ineligible to box in New
York because he has made no
reply to challenge from Harry
Wills. Any promoter or manager
quoted as willing to talk bust
ness with the world champion
will Immediately become persona
non grata in New York, accord
ing to the decision.
Three years ago William the
Duke of Muldoon, then chairman
of the commission, ordered Demp-
sey not to enter the ring with
Wills. Politics were supposed to
be mixed up with the situation.
Today, Chairman Farley, aided
by Muldoon, orders Dempsey to
answer the challenge or stand
suspended. It's really funny.
Jack Kearns, the sweet-scented,
talkative manager of the cham
pion, remarks, "Sure, we'll fight
anybody, anywhere, any time.
But have you seen anybody pro-
ducing real money for a Dempsey
Wills combat ?"
There you have the entire
argument boiled down. Calling
Dempsey ineligible in New York
means nothing. In the first
place, Dempsey is playing in the
movies. He is not boxing. In
the second place, he is no more
ineligible than any other boxer
without a New York license, and
there are many. To become eli
gible, all he needs do is to apply
for a license. To enter any ring
in New York he would have to
do that, anyway. So what does
this latest mandate of the COM
mission really mean? Nothing,
absolutely nothing. It's pretty,
but it's not war.
No matter what you or this
writer thinks about it, enough
wise birds behind the scenes be-
lieve trouble would follow the
booking Of a Dempsey-Wills tilt
for the world title. That explains
the banning of Dempsey, a futile
gesture at best. Now what is
Wills going to do about it? His
challenge is with the commission.
He is still loafing and getting
little older every day.
Don't forget this, by the way,
that when he was struggling for
a championship bout, Jack Demp-
sey toured the country meeting
and beating all-comers. What has
Harry Wills been doing?
