NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.--Manda-
mus proceedings. designed to force
the license committee to show
cause why Jack Dempsey should
not be granted a permit to meet
Gene Tunney here on September
16, will be brought today by Tex
Richard, on behalf of the Madison
Square Garden Corporation, but
the proposed separate action by
Dempsey may be delayed.
Arthur F. DriscoII, the cham
piOn's attorney, made this known
this morning i'm announcing that
a further. conference with Rick.
ard and Gene NOrmile was
scheduled for today.
z "If we decide that Dempsey
should start proceedings. / will
leave for Saratoga tonight" Dris-
coll said. 81 will return as soon
as I get Dempsey's signature to

Opinion here was general that
the license committee can over

revoking Richards license at the

EDERLE HAL Is
CRITICISM

DOVER, England, Aug. 1s.-Miss
Clarabelle Barrett, New Rochelle,
N. Y, school teacher, was obliged
to cancel her second attempt to
swim the English channel this
morning because Of highly unfa-
vorable weather.
In her first attempt earlier this
month Miss Barrett came within
two. miles of reaching her goal.
The swimming colony here, where
attempts at swimming the English
channel constitute the principal
summer diversion. does not think
that Gertrude Ederle's $4,000 chal-
lenge to any and all channel aspi-
rants will be accepted.
Ron Corson, who is here as man.
ager for his wife, another channel
aspirant, voiced what was appar-
emily the sentiment OF the colony.
II do not know of anyone who
would put up that much money!"
he said. Besides, two swimmers
could never agree as to when con-
ditions were favorable for a channel
race"
Miss Ederle's challenge was is.
sued in reply to criticisms appear
ing in several British newspapers
commenting on the methods by
which they alleged she was enabled
to swim the channel.

"They Must Be Crazy
Trudie Exclainls
Against Critics

PARIS, Aug. 18.-"They must
be crazy"
This was Gertrude Ederle's
exclamation upon her arrival
here this afternoon, when she
was shown copies of statements
in British papers reflecting
upon her feat in swimming the
English Channel.
81 am willing to stand upon
what the correspondents aboard
the second tug said and wrote.
Since they say / swan the
channel fairly. I don't care what
the others say"
81 am sure the American
people have enough faith in
me not to believe the reflec-
lions cast upon my successful
SWIM" said the American girl,
who did not appear to be
greatly perturbed over the
criticism.
"Trudy" pointed out that the
dispatches filed by the men
aboard the second tug raised
not the slightest question as
to the fairness of her swim,
and she also pointed to the
fact that Burgess, her trainer,
has said she made ga good
clean swim She said she
wasn't going to worry about
the things that editorial writer's
who sat safely ashore, a long
way from the stormy Channel,
had to say about her struggle
against the turbid waters.
"They seemed to know in
Germany that / swan the chan
mel, all right" said "Trudy."
"Bissingen is a tiny town, but
after the second day there I
couldn't leave the house on ac-
count of the crowds"
The Ederle party arrived here
unheralded and were given no
reception.
"Pop" Ederle and Gertrude's
sister accompanied the swimmer.
"Trudy" wants to do some
shopping, for "Pop" promised
her she might have her fling at
the Paris modiste's wares if she
swan the channel, and now she
intends to begin .reaping the
fruits of her victory.

He had several ideas and all OF
them were good, though seemingly
contradictory. For instance:
Would a Dempsey Wills contract
mean a Dempsey-Wills match? Not
for q minute. Would it mean a
Dempsey-Tunney match? Without a
doubt. Why? Because Wills won'f
go through with a Dempsey bout
on the terms laid down by the laws
in this State.
The above are Mr.. Kearns'
sentiments, not mine. l have
ran out of bright ideas on this
particular subject long since.
However, Mr.. Kearns really
knows his victUaIs.
"a Dempsey-Wills contract Is
the only thing that will get Richard
what he wants." Kearns declares
Let the champion sign it and then
see whether Wills will do the same
thing. He won't. Why? Because hi
wants 100000 for the Dempsey
shot and tho regulation contracts
In this State call only for 122 per
cent to any challenger.
AT those figures, Wills would
miss his 100000 by a good deal
and then what about the $4,000 he
got from those middle Western pro
moters? He'd have to kick back will
that and by the time he got
through, he wouldn't have half the
money he wants for the match.
"Wills knows very well that he
wouldn't sign a regulation State
contract. Mullins knows it.
Richard ought to know it, too, but
they seem to be thinking too fast
for Tex right now. I'm thinking
Of going TO him personally If this
BUSINESS doesn't take turn for
the better.
you know, I'm more than casu
ally interested in seeing that Demp
sey gets this fight. I've got th;r1
coming to me, and the best way &c
get it is to see that Dempsey gets
the money.

may give them favorable action

Remember, if you please, the
vote being taken by the Hearst
newspapers is a popularity vote
and by the very nature of things
that popularity is achieved by
dint Of personal performances
in this line of sport or that.
Very we'll! We must admit
that popularity is tickle thing.
It surges and shifts from week
to week, depending on the news
devel opm n t s and current
achievements.
There have been many mo-
ments in the baseball career of
Walter Johnson when he would
, have walked off with this vote,
but we do not believe this is the
moment. In other words, his
wave of popularity is not now
at its crest. Too many recent
developments have shaded MIN
slightly in the baseball world.
In the first place he is not at
the present moment with a pen
nant winning club and his rec
ord of wins and losses for the
current year is not the best on
his team nor in his league. Re-
calling again that this popu-
larity thing is a tickle creature
which roosts only where deeds
are being done and where the
shot and shell of action can be
found, how can you say that
johnson ranks with Jones,
Ederle and Ruth at the mo-
ment?
True, the big Kansan holds
mora pitching records than any
living player. They have been
accumulated over a period of
20 years. Down the line of
decades there are few active
ball players to compare with
him-but at the moment he is
not colorful enough nor with a
tinted enough team to get in the
three favorite positions which
the vote permits.
This is a nationwide ballot!
Folks in San Francisco, Boston,
Atlanta and Milwaukee and Ill
of the territory bounded by
those points are balloting.
Walter, to win, would have to
defeat Red Grange in the mas
sive Chicago poll. He'd have to
beat Helen Wills end Charlie
"a d lock in the California
plebescite; Bobby Jones in At
lanta, Ty Cobb in Detroit and
Atlanta, Babe Ruth in New
York and suburbs. and so forth
and so on among the favorites
in the various localities.
If this vote were being taken
on the last day of the 1924
world series, Johnson would win
hands down. If it were being
taken in Washington exclusively
and did not concern the rest Of
the country. he would be the
