WACO. Tex, Aug. Abrams
Bridges, diminutime, astute mentor Of
the Baylor University Bears, is giving
much thought these days TO the open
ing engagement of the 1925 pigskin
campaign which will throw the
Bruins, champions of the Southwest
Conference in 1924, against the Notrc
Dame Micks, champions Of the United
States last season. This encounter,
which is expected to attract much at
tention from the sport-loving world
will be played September % at South
Bend, Ind.
Since Knute Rockne, famed coach
of Notre Dame. will coach a compare
lively green combination this fall, it
is believed the Texans will give d
splendid account of themselves.
The game against Notre Dame is
typical of the schedule Of the Bears,
which is one of the most attractive
ever arranged for n Southwest Con-
ference school. In addition to the con-
test with Notre Dame, games have
been scheduled with T. c. T., Texas
A. & NJ, Texas University, S. NJ. L..
and Rice, outstanding Southwest Con-
ference schools, and with Denton Nor
NAL, Trinity University, Howard
Payne and st. Edwards University,
four strong T. !. A. A. schools.
MANY VETS BACK.
With so strenuous a schedule ar
it is fortunate Coach Bridges
will have available q large number of
the members Of the championship ag-
gregation of last season. Some of the
letter men of 1924 who will return
are: Bear" Walker, captain and all
center; Jack Sisco: all-con-
ference guard Sam Coats. all-confer-
ence tackle and perhaps the outstand-
ing player in the conference last sea
son "Bubba" Nash, light but hard
fighting end; Jack Jones, red-haired
fullback of much promise; Benny
Strickland. halfback, who is expected
to be one Of the most sensational per-
formers in the conference in 1925, and
George Fall, who likely will be the
firSt-string quarterback during the
coming season, since Bill Coffey and

BOXING MOGULS
SUSPEND|NG
DEMPSEY
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Jack Demp-
sey and Mickey Walker will be in
definitely suspended by the New York
state athletic commission late today
If they do not appear in person before
the commission and sign articles of
agreement for title matches with their
outstanding challengers, Harry Wills
and Dave Shade. This was learned
from a reliable source close to the box
ing commission.
1t wns further learned that Wills
and Gene Tunney, American light
heavyweight champion, will be matched
for a fight, the winner TO be declared
the worlds heavyweight champion"
until such n time as Dempsey, person
ally, appears before the commission
and posts a bond and signs articles
Of agreement for a match with Wills.
TITLES TO BE OPEN
While the commission would like
to take more definite, drastic action
against both Walker and Dempsey, it
realizes that it cannot strip the title
from either fighter and TO bring both
to terms it will declare the titles open
until the real champions are ready to
defend their championships.
Tex Richard, Madison Square Gar
den promoter, still holding Dempsey's
proxy, will attempt TO forestall action
against the heavyweight champion by
appearing before the commission, but
this proxy will not be honored. Rick
ard said today that Dempsey posi-
lively will not fight this year either
outdoors or indoors. He said he had
hopes of matching Dempsey but he
was convinced that nothing could be
done for Dempsey until he definitely
agrees to fight Wills and posts a for
felt and signs articles Of agreement
for the match.
While no intimation was given as to
what part Jack Kearns will play in
the controversy it is expected that his
status will be the same as his fight
er's.
CHAMP ON COAST
Dcmpsey's presence on the Pacific
coast prohibits his attendance while
Walker, it was learned, will not ac-
cept the commissions invitation to a
conference until the arrival of his
Jack Kearns, who is now
on his way east and is due to arrive
here the latter part Of this week OF
the first of next week.
Both Dempsey and Walker will
come under an ineligibility ban which
is virtually the same as a suspension
as it prevent them from
in New York state or sister
states where a working agreement ex-
lists, from dickering with promoters
for future matches Of from attending
boxing exhibitions held under the
jurisdiction of the state bodies.

NEXT GORDON BENNETT
 RACE MAY BE IN |. s.
Belgian Aero Club Finds That It Is Costing Association
 Too Much

New York. June II. P,-The pos sibility of the next revival of the Gordon Bennett international bal loon race being held in the United States is seen in dispatches from Brussels stating that the Belgian Aero club has found the heavy ex- pense of staging the event for the last four years burdensome.
 The original Gordon Bennett cup was definitely won by Belgium's premier balloonist, Ernest De Muy- ter, who fulfilled the condition of the donor by putting his country in first place three times In a run.
 This years race, which has just been concluded with another Bel gian victory, was in the form of a revival, with the idea of keeping up the series which had continued so long as to become almost a tradi- tion.
 veenstra, flying the balloon Prince Leopold, was the winner. He and his companion, Quersin, made a re- markable flight, covering more than 800 miles from the starting field at Brussels and landing at Cape Tori mana, about 50 miles from Corunna, Spain. De Muyter was given second place and Valle of Italy third. The Goodyear III, piloted by Wade T. Van Orman, was not classified, being one of the three balloons to come down at sea. The other American entry, the S-14 piloted by Lieuten- ants Flood and Mccormick, was giv- en fourteenth place, or next to last.

CONSPIRACY BEING
 GREATLY OVERDONE
Circuit Judges Advise Stopping
 These Prosecutions

Washington, June II. Pt-Abol- ishment of the use by federal dts trict attorneys of conspiracy indict- ments in misdemeanor cases and appointment of additional district and circuit judges were. recommend cd by senior circuit judges who clos cd a conference here yesterday with Chief Justice Taft.
 The judges declared they believed the conspiracy indictments had been grossly abused. especially in prohi- bition cases, and they voted to call the subject to the attention of fed eral district judges and attorneys, and also to congress.
 Use of such indictments to convert felony, said the recommendation adopted by the judges. has worked 10 permit introduction of much im- proper evidence.
 The theory which permits us 10 call the aborted plan greater of- fense than the completed crime" it declared, "supposes a serious and substantially continued group scheme for cooperative law breaking" Many conspiracy prosecutions do not have this substantial base, the recom- mcndation pointed out, and i've fear the creation of general impression, very harmful to law enforcement, that this method of prosecution is used arbitrarily and harshly."
 In suggesting appointment of ad- ditional judges the conference said it found the most discouraging congestion" in the second circuit, comprising New York, Connecticut and Vermont. The judges recom- mended provision for one more cir cult judge there, and for four addi- tional district judges in New York and one in Connecticut. They sug- gested also that Maryland and Geor- gia each be given one additional dis trict judge and that congress fill a vacant district judgeship in Penn- 1 sylvania.
 Listed by the commissioner as | improvements were the practical disappearance of home brew" a material lessening of illegal produc- ton and distribution of "full strength illicit beer" through strict supervision Of breweries, and the scattering of liquor pirates on rum row by the coast guard.
 Coordination of enforcement agen- cies under Assistant Secretary An drews, establishment of schools of i instruction for prohibition agents, adoption of new state enforcement codes which permit state officers to handle the "small fry and give the big conspiracies were pointed to as

 WMCA tried Its hand at develop ing new form Of radio production with the comic opera, "orienta." The music was light and moderately ex- pressive, adequately rendered by the small cast. A small orchestra. say string trio or quartet, in place of the single piano. would have added im- measurably 10 the color of the pro- duction. The method of presenta- ton followed a disappointing cross between continuity and concert an nouncing. To that fact, and that fact alone. can be laid the failure of the operctta 10 achieve its goal. The basic idea Is worthy Of careful and immediate development, for prop orly handled. 1t can undoubtedly be- come a highly successful form Of radio entertainment.
 
 While radio broadcastlng may for a time stimulate the sale of sheet music, in the long run 1t hurts the retail trade, in the opinion of the National Association Of Sheet Music Dealers. which closed its convention yesterday.
 A resolution was adopted pledg- ing the cooperation of the associa- ton to the music publishers in their efforts 10 subject broadcasting to the same copyright and royalty restric' tons as other public performances.

Supreme court deci- sions were said by the commission CT 10 have simplifled enforcement difficulties, notably the decision per- hitting search of rum-running auto mobiles without a warrant and the one holding that federal agents are civil officers of the United States empowered to serve warrants with out the aid of state officials"
 A total of l6s,646 criminal indict- ments for prohibition violations are returned between July l, 1921, and May 1s, 1925, the commissioner said. Of these tried, 12l,664 have resulted in conviction and of the to- tai indictments. S3.762 were return ed sine July l. 1924. For the three year period prior 10 July 1, 1924, fines aggregating sl2,425,oSl were collected.
 Every means provided by law Is geing used to fight the prohibition law breakers" the commissioner continued. More than 1000 in- junction or paddock cases have been brought in the federal courts alone.
