SCORE ONE
prescott Journal Miner)

The state highway commission is
the owner of the motor vehicle de-
partment Of the state Of Arizona. The
supreme court says so, and inasmuch
as the case of the commission against
Secretary of State Kerby seems to in
volve no question of the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, or any other amend
ment or clause thereof, the matter ap-
pears to be settled.
The highway department now can
proceed with all possible celerity to
organize itself to handle the motor We
hicles without fear Of interference.
And the secretary of state can con-
tinue to be the record keeper of tn
state, a candidate for governor and
the acting governor at times when the
governor is out of its confines.
Which is altogether satisfactory.

ABOUT ANOTHER
GENE, JACK BOUT.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26, QP-Now
that Tex Richards dream of the first
$3000000 fight gate in ring history
has faded in the light of financial
eturns from the Chicago battle
front, the promoter is considering a
new record attempt with the third

Very tired but happy that the

Soldier Field was the greatest of his
own financial triumphs to date,
Rickard arrived in New York today
with his prometerial team-mate,
George F. Getz, nominal head of the
fistic extravaganza, on the shore Of
Lake Michigan last Thursday night.
Getz will sail for Africa tomorrow
to hunt big game.
Dempsey is still the greatest draw
ing card in the ring" Rickard said,
and is far from through if he
wishes to continue fighting. have

ly on the subject, but certainly

again If the former champion is

While the whereabouts of Dempsey
was somewhat of a mystery today,
Tunney is due to arrive in New York
tomorrow from Cleveland where. he
has been spending a few days with
friends. Dempsey failed to arrive
here today from Chicago as expected,
and was thought to be in Michigan
City, visiting Floyd Fitzsimmons,

REFEREE TELLS
STORY OF LONG
COUNT IN fight

CHICAGO, Sept. 26 lP)--Dave Barry,
who refereed the Tunney- Dempsey
battle in Soldier field last Thursday
night, joined in the discussion Of
the seventh round knockdown and
"long count today with a signed
statement.
MY impression of Tunney after he
had been knocked down." said Barry,
was that he had regained his senses
in three or four seconds, and that
even though Dempsey had returned
to the neutral corner Immediately, as
per instructions, Tunney would have
been able to arise in good shape
before the final count.
GAS Tunney hit the floor his eyes
were CLASSY and it was apparent that
he was quite badly hurt. Dempsey,
possibly through force of habit or
perhaps through Aorgetfulness, failed
to go to a neutral corner, but en-
deavored to circle around me into
his own corner. which would have
brought him right behind Tunney.
"The tilnekeeper's count had start
ed, but seeing Dempsey's action
thrust my left arm ~in front Of him
and c&ered: Jack, to a neutral
corner Dempsey persisted, however,
and tried, to circle around me in the
other direction. Then apparently

Lloyd has broken the modern major

Frisch, with 29.
The Pirates Giants series now un-
der way may decide the pitching hon
ors of the National league, Larry
Benton and Burleigh Grimes of the
Giants are in the lead now, with Lee
Meadows and Carmen Hill, the two
bespectacled Pirates, close behind. In
between these two is old Grover Cleve-

cop the laurels himself Just year
ago the Cardinals got Alex for the

DECISION KICK
FIGHT BALLYHOO.
SAYS RICHEMER

CHICAGO, Sept. 26, P-John c..
Righemer, chairman of the Illinois
State Athletic commission, tonight
declared the moves of Leo P. Flynn
manager of Jack Dempsey, in pro-
testing the victory of Gene Tunney,
were nothing more than propa-
ganda to keep another Dempsey
Tunney fight alive.
AS to Dempseys letter formally
asking the commission to reverse
Referee Barry's decision and declare
Tunney knocked out in the seventh
round, Chairman Righeimer said that
so far as the commission was con-
cerned, it was closed incident.
Dempsey's telegram informing the
commission that he intended to ap-
peal was received today. The letter
is expected tomorrow
"All Dempsey and Flynn are do
ing is making it disagreeable for a
lot of people," Chairman Righei-
mer said. "It is all a part of what
the newspapers call a ballyhoo for
another fight.
Il can only repeat that Flynn and
Dempsey understood our rules. If
those who are crying long count
would only take the trouble to look
up the rules and then understand
that the men were boxing Under
that code, there would not be any
more to it.
GAS to Dempsey's letter formally
protesting the affair, can only
repeat what said the other day
the decision stands
Chairman Righeimer expressed the
opinion that Dempsey himself, was
satisfied with the handling of the
contest or at least is not inclined
to lodge a protest. He believes
Dempsey is lending his name to the
latter merely to give support to a
protest started by Flynn.
