game.
Considerable excitement prevailed
among his companions when Perkins
became lost overnight while on Il

searching for him and were on the
point of leaving camp themselves,
when "ferk' rode up.

his horse bring him into camp. The
horse however, took another route,
going to an abandoned ranch. Per
kins found a small hut on the ranch

In the morning he decided to use
his own judgment about the dircc-

he knew more than the horse by

The party asserted they had II
delightful time, though they were
disappolnte1 tt not getting any

This Tommy Shull, lightweight

with Young Bcllo in the scmi-wind-
up of Friday night $ card at the Ell
Centro arena, is imbucd with de-
sire to establish himself with valley
ring fans and he is going out after
Bello in the hopes of boosting his
stock with a kayo.
Shull is no stranger to the fight
game. He is none other than the
Shull who took Johnny Adams. for
mcr coast champion to a sweet
cleaning for five rounds recently,
only to lose the decision at the end
Of the fifth when a bad cut over
his eye led the referee to award
Adpms the verdict. Before invad-
ing this section Shull fought as
Battling Rcddy in Louisiana rings.
The change in monickers is due to
ruling by the state boxing com
mission that fighters must use their
real names. Shull s campaign in
this district will be under direction
of Harry Woodbury..
The invading lightweight is one
of these boys that likes to fight.
Put a glove on him or turn him
loose in a ring and he forgets all
about this sparring stuff. An In
stance of this occurred yesterday.
Working out with Lloyd McBee,
who was scheduled to meet Young

AS the hour of battle ncars fans
are still undecided whether to back
Harold Adams or Harry Lee in the
ten round main event. Adams
made a host Of friends by his quick
kayo over Billy MCGOWAN and a
bunch of the boys are pulling for
him. But as for predicting he will
wallop the sturdy Lee with the
same easc-that s another matter.
When the starting gong rings,
sending these two boys against
each other it is "a safe bet to as
sumo the odds will be about even
1t should be corking battle with

DEMPSEY GOES
ON WARPATH AT.
BOARD MEETING
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.

NEW YORK, aug. }2.-The state
boxing commission today once more
approved bout between Jack
Dempsey, and Gene Tunney, to take
place on September 16 at the Yankee
stadium here, and notified it's IL
cense committee that the heavy
weight champion had complied with
all rules and should be granted a
license.
The committee s action came on
record 2 to | vote, with Commits
sioners William MuldOon and George
Brewer favoring the bout and
Chairman James A. Farley register
ing a protest.
The license committee, which on
Tuesday deferred action on Demp-
sey's application for a license, is
scheduled to meet again Monday
unless Il special meeting is called
beforehand so that the last remain
ing obstacle to the fight may be re-
moved.
After the committee meeting
Dempsey and Paddy Mullins, man
ager of Harry Wills, negro chalIcng-
er for the heavyweight title, almost
came to blows.
Friends held the arms Of both
men as they drew back for II punch
after a heated argument.
Mullins stopped Dempsey as the
latter was leaving the offices with
"Tex" Rickard, promoter of the
DempseyTunney go.
"That s IL fine trick you pulled
on me; you're Il. big rat, Mullins
said caustically to the champion.
"What do you mean by 'rat?'" "
asked Dempsey, flushing.
''Just what L say. You sent me
telegram last year saying that
you would fight Wills ....
Dempsey denied having done so,
whereupon Mullins, said, GIN
bet you 81 900 you did. -
."That S bct,' said Dempsey
Mullins then pulled a roll of au-
tumns from his pocket and counted
out the money.
81 don't carry that much with
me, -. the champion put in.
81 thought not, Observed Mul-
Inns. "That s the kind Of a cheap
gay YOU are. va gdt notion to
take u crack at you and if you II
step into the next room l IL fight
YOU even if you won't go up
against my fighter -
cts a good thing for you that
you re an old man Dempsey said.
Whereupon Mullins drew back his
arm. SO did Dempsey. Deputy y
COMMISSIONER Eddie Curry threw
himself against Mullins andt Gene
Norm,c, the champion IS gi,Nsihess
manager, grabbed Dempsey, lraaing
him to the elevator in the Ffatiron
binding where the commission s of
fees are located on thc3 third floor.
Mullins was still boiling with
rage. y.
"Hcrc's something YOU may not
KNOW he told newspapcrmch.
"Tex Rickard, through an agent,
offered me $4,000 if would with
draw the challenge of Harry Wills
which had been accepted by the
commission. a..s.
Mullins declined to name the
agent but limited that he might take
the affair to court.
Wills challenge long stood in the
way of the Tunncy fight. The COM
mission decided today that the cham
pion, by signing three contracts,
none of which was consummatcd,
to fight Wills, had significd his
willingness to accept the big negro S
challenge.
Hence the commissioners today i'll
effect accepted the challenge of
Tunncy and gave permission for the
bout. The license committee is not
bound to accept the decision but
the fighters and Rickard arc conf
dent that they will do so.
Dempsey plans to leave tonight
for his training camp upstate.

READY TO DROP
ORGANIZED BALL

Cleveland, Nov. 27.-This Speak
err, manager of the Clevelands In
dams for seven years, is ready to
emulate Ty Cobb by stepping out OF
organized ball. He made this known
today after being informed of re-
ports that he was either to be re-
leased or signed at reduced sal
airy.
IF my salary is to be cut. I'll quit

friends.
Speaker has been offered a part

which produces auto parts, and it is
believed he will accept. The plant
is owned by Davis r. Jones, who is
Speakers closest personal friend.
Mrs. James c. Dunn, chief stock
holder of the Cleveland Baseball
Club, intimated yesterday that she
was going to sign new pilot.
Charges that Speaker showed fla
voritism" and played favorites"
may have caused her to hesitate
about re-appointing the Texan. Pres.
E. S. Barnard was inclined to doubt
the report today, but added that it
was not an impossibility.
The Cleveland syndicate, which
made recent bid for controlling

headed by an executive of large

jected the original bid, but the local
capitalists may raise the figure.
