too many days when he comes to the

we should end every day with a lit

Defer RULING ON
LICENSE FOR TUNNEY
TO MEET DEMPSEY

Peekskill, N. Y, July 29.-CP-
Colonel John j. Phelan, head of the
license committee of the New York
state athletic commission, today de-
cllned to rule on Gene Tunney's per-
sonal application for a license to box
Jack Dempsey until he returns to
New York, August IL.
Colonel Phelan and Tunney, both
veterans of the A. Z. f., were in con-
terence for an hour and the boxer,
who seeks permission to fight for the
heavyweight championship at the
Yankee Stadium, New York, Septem-
Der 16, came from the discussion
with a smile and expressed conf
dence in the outcome.
The license committee, which will
not act until Colonel Phelan and the
old fighting SiXty-ninth" return to
New York from their two weeks en-
campment, has the key to the situa-
ton, the state athletic commission
having accepted Tex Richards pro-
posal to stage the 15-round contest,
After the conference Colonel Phe-
Ian said:
My door is always open, not only
to Gene Tunney but to all my
friends. l have made no decision
regarding Tunney's application and
Will make none until l am back at
my Office in New York. This mat
ter is not one of Gene Tunney, or of
Jack Dempsey. or of a heavyweight
fight, Tex Richard and the athletic
commission. If Gene Tunney proves
his eligibility he will receive his Ii
cense.
Il always have tried to be fair and
square in all my dealings with box
ers and l don't believe any change
has come over me suddenly. Tun-
ney l admire as a fine boxer; think
he is credit to the boxing game.
But l don't want to consider this
thing now for all my time must be
given to the regiment"

Contrasting with ring conditions of

rigorous training to reach the u.s.

Brief periods of supremacy have
prevailed in the lightweight, junior
lightweight and featherweight divis-
ions. Jimmy Goodrich and Rocky

135-pound throne only a little more
than a year,
Eugene Criqui of France set a mod
ern record for brevity of rule when

Johnny Dundee two months after
Wrestling it from Johnny Kilbane, Tod
Morgan snatched the 130-pound lau-
rels from Mike Ballerino eight months
after the Bayonne, y. j., fighter had
lifted them from Steve Sullivan.
Passing of the bantam title, which
became almost an annual event after
1920, has been temporarily checked
through inactivity of Charley (PhiD
Rosenberg, although Chicago promot-
ers announce a Forthcoming match be-
tween the titleholder and Bud Taylor.
If Rosenberg succeeds in passing the
test he may become the first 11S-pound
champion since Herman TO last two
years.
Rosenberg's tenacious grip on the
diadem has interrupted an epidemic Of
transfers which at one time saw the
crown on four heads in a little more

Martin and the present king passing

New York, July 29.-(P)-Swiftly

Of four tttleholders, have focused in
terest on Jack Dempsey as the last of
the modern long term champions"
The seventh year of his reign among
the heavyweights has been concluded
in the twilight of favored day for
rulers of Kingdom, a fistic chapter en-
bellished with brilliant performances

seven years; by Jack Britton and

Dempsey. lone survivor of long

to face crucial test with Gene Tun-
ney, promised here on September 16.
And the very forces which have COM
bined to bring him back to the resined
battle-ground after a three-year alb
sence are the same tides upon whose
crest has come an epochal change in
boxing-a change which now apparent
ly has shortened the span of the active
division titleholder to only little
more than one year
The end of the long-term champion
has been hastened by closer super
vision of the game from the wings of
the stage as the gloved gladiators
passed through series of dramatic
events. Thus, the sudden fate which
befell Paul Berlenbach Rocky Kansas,
Harry Greh and Mickey Walker has
been attributed by observers as much
to the iron-hand rule of the New York
state athletic commission as to the
development of contenders who were
able to overthrow them.
Three significant factors have work.
ed to bring about the change:
1-Compulsory defense of cham
pionships once every six months.
Wv e g h t-making requirements
and prohibition of fighting outside TO
classes.
3-Stipulation of activity.
Among the so-called little men,
the titular span in the last five years
seldom has extended beyond one year.
A review of the records reveals,
moreover. that avoidance of matches
with outstanding contenders usually
has been a protecting shield in the
exceptional cases.
The junior lightweight mantle has
been torn from the shoulders of
champions four times since the class
was established for Johnny Dundee
less than four years ago; five light
heavyweight kings have been crown
ed since the division was revided for
the benefit of Battling Levinsky In
1920; two lightweight chieftains have
come and gone since Benny Leonard
relinquished the sceptre two years
ago. seven changes on the bantam
weight throne have marked the
struggle for 11S pound honors in the
last half dozen years.
Mickey Walker beat back welter-
weight challengers for almost four
years before he finally yielded to the
attack of Pete Latzo, two months
ago. But Walker repeatedly declined
to face leading contenders. delaying
