 Well. as we were saying. Corbetl won Inc title in 1892 and held it a little less than five years. Bob l'it2- simmons succeeded Corbett and was champion for q triHe more than two 1 years.
 Tommy Burns. who crowded into the picture when the man at the gate wasn't looking, held on for three years. Finally Johnson ! caught up with him in Australia and reduced him to a state of interesting if not wholly recognizable debris. You will note no mention is made of the duration of John LIS reign, (Have you figured out that last name yet? It is a stickler, isn't it") John l.. was a bare l<nuckler until he met Corbett and the bare knucklers aren't consider in this composition.

Neither has entered the English la dies championship. to he played in October at Westward Ho. The be- havior Of inc crowds, which seem to grow in size and become worse hammered with every successive tournament is probably to blame for the retirement of both women,
 Neither has explained why she is giving up tournament play, but the general assumption is that they have had too much of a good thing.
 They were mobbed and even mal- treated last May by the oyer-eager who watched their S7-hole battle for the British women's championship. It was the largest crowd that ever looked upon q women's match. And perhaps tho most ill-behaved, Miss Wcthered's hand was hurt when sev- eral people lIungcd Into Dunker inc moment she had hoisted her ball from it, and when the match ended she seemed faint.
 Being women, both of these great golfers are expected 10 change their minds and re-cnter competitive play next year, Certainly they can hard ly stay out if any Americans come trooping over in quest of the British championship, for then there would arise loud appeal on patriotic grounds.
 It is expected that the champion and former champion will continue to play in miner tournaments through the autumn snd winter sua- son, but remain away rom the ma

(BY JOE WILLlAMS)

New York, Sept. 2S.--lf Jack Dempsey ever fights again it will be in the summer of 1926. By that time the rings most gifted eocu- tionist will have held the heavy weight championship for seven years.
 The importance of this, if any, is that it will set a new record. No heavyweight champion in modern times has held the title longer than six years and some odd months.
 The present record belongs @to Jack Johnson, Galveston negro. who made gold filings d Queensbcrrian fad. Johnson beat Jim Jeffries in 1910 and held the title until Jess Willard whipped him under bIis- tering Havana sun, six years, three months and q few days later
 Dempsey won the title by a knockout from Jess Willard July A. 1919, Already he has held the title six years and two months. Nothing can keep him from ultimately pass ing Johnson g record. But the mark will not be accepted by ring hisori- ans unless he fulfiIs his promise to battle next sumner.
 On the contrary his retirement will date back 10 the night on which he knocked out Luis l'irpo the prize COW of The Argentine. two seasons ago. DempseY's record, then. as titl"hoder would he four years and a fe" months, and in that respect would net be particularly note worthy
