Tunney Would Meet
Dempsey Regardless
OF Elimination Bout

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-(P-Gene Tun-
ney, heavyweight champion, partly
agreed today with his conquered rival,
Jack Dempsey, that Jack should not
be required to go through an elimina-
tion series for another chance at the
title.
81 like Tex Richards elimination
plan," Tunney said, in brief stop
over, en- route east to Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, "but don't think Dempsey
ought to be included in it, except that
the others eliminate themselves for
the right to fight Dempsey. Then
will meet the winner of that match.
'But Dempsey can have his return
match direct if the tournament does
not develop satisfactory challenger
Tunney, who completed his vaude-
Vile tour at Minneapolis, wore plas-
ter over his eye, covering wound
opened by an opponents head in his
stage exhibition. He joined Billy Glib
son, his manager, and Tim Mara, New
York sportsman, here, and said that
all his differences with those two had
been satisfactorily arranged. A new
agreement which will give Gibson Is
per cent of his ring earnings and 10
per cent of his vaudevill contracts is
said to have been signed by Tunney.

American League Head
Says He Will Die With
Boots On; Won't Resign

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-R-The great
est battles Of his 81 years in basebail
confront Byron Bancroft johnson
founder ana president of the American
league.
If he wins the support again of his
league cluo owners in tomorrow's Sc
cret conference, he will still have to
face Mondays clash with Commissioners
Kenesaw Mountain Landis The com
missioner has demanded to know why
he was not informed of all the cir
cumstances of the dismissal of Ty Cobb
and Iris Speaker, instead of being
handed only the insinuations of crook
edness alleged by Dutch Leonard.
To answer this question at Mondays S
session, President Johnson has sum-
moned all his club owners to a con-
ference tomorrow except his ancient
enemy, Charles A.. Comiskey, owner of
the Chicago White Sox.
Whether the club owners will stand
back of him in the dispute with the
commissioner, President johnson to-
night admitted he ara not know All
of them but Phil De c. Ball of the st.
Louis Browns signed a memorandum
to Commissioner Landis two years ago,
assuring the czar of organized base
ball that they would see that Johnson
would make no more public criticisms
of the commissioner.

HARVARD Player Puts
Blame on Dirty Work
For Princeton Break

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-(P)-Assertion
that dirty football" played by Prince
ton, not the jibes of the Harvard Lam
poon, was responsible for the break in
athletic relations between the Tiger
and Crimson, is made in an article
written by Wynant D. Hubbard, varsity
guard on the 1920 Crimson teams,
and published by Liberty, weekly mag
azine. The Lampoon, he says, merely
has been made the goat"
Charging that the only two dirty
games of his own playing career were
''the ones with Princeton" Hubbard
lodges a number of specific accusations
agains tthe Tigers. These cover main
ly the period of 1922 to 1926, inclusive,
and involve instances of gouged eyes,
broken limbs and other injuries which
Hubbard says were suffered by Har-
ward players, in freshman as well as
varsity gridiron contests.
Among Hubbard's accusations, which
he declares are the "root of the trou-
ble," are the following:
Cd. That wnen playing Princeton,
the players on the Harvard team al
most invariably came out Of the game
torn and scratched badly about the
eyes. That the Harvard team, although
it played seven other colleges every
year, never had this happen except
when playing against Princeton. That
in one game with Princeton seven men
were torn.
(2) That in the 1925 game, Miller,
Harvard's fullback, came out of the
game with the clear imprint of sig
net ring on his nose, and Daley, star
Harvard guard, was "scissored" by two
Princeton linemen while going down
on the opening kickoff.
(3). That in the 1924 Princeton
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-01-23

and Speaker last September at a con-
ference here when the commissioner
was given Dutch Leonard's evidence
letters from Cobb and Smoky Joe
Wood.
Back of these charges of Leonard
which President Johnson has declared
he does not believe, is a plain story
of incompetence as big league man
ayers, that the American league exec
utive said should convince anyone of
the justice of the leagues action.
s Commissioner Lands refused tonight
to comment on recent developments
in the Cobb Speaker situation, which
has been overshadowed by the expect
ed test of strength between the Ameri-
can league executive and himself.
Mondays sessions, which will be open
to newspaper men, he said, will be in
the rose room Of the Congress hotel.
Many famous political battles of re-
publican national convention sessions
have taken place there.
Half a dozen prominent baseball men
already have been mentioned for
Johnson's job, including even one of
his own leagues club presidents, e. S.
Barnard of Cleveland, but if his long
regime is ended tomorrow, Johnson in
timated tonight, he will die with his
boots on, and not resign under fire.
Although he has been in poor health
for some time, the veteran American
league head answers with an emphatic
negative to questions about his resig-
nation.
Born in Cleveland in 1866, Johnson
was drawn into professional baseball
by his most bitter enemy in baseball
now, Charles A. Comiskey, who was
then, in 1898, the head of the Cincin-
natl club At Comiskeys instigation
Johnson became president of what was
then known as the Western league
which was merged into the present
American league in 1900.

Harvard team received badly twisted

knee injuries were alike. The men so
injured were Daley, Adie, Robb and
Gherke.

game with Princeton Jack Maher of
the Harvard team had his wrist seized
with two hands and dislocated.
90. That Charlie Buell., star player
on the Harvard team, had his ankle
broken in the first half Of the 1922
game with Princeton; that Buell. had
played six years of football previous
to this without an injury. Photo

(6). That it is common knowledge
that Princeton players direct a constant
flow of abusive language at members
of the Harvard team with the express
purpose of getting their goats. MAX
ing them angry or otherwise distract
ing their attention from the game.
Cd. That in the 1923, freshman game
with Princeton, Miller, Coady, zarakov
and Daley were hurt in the first half.
(S). That Princeton tackles coming
in on kicks often do not try to block
punts, but with high, powerful knee
backs. In the 1926 Princeton game,
Guernaccia was so badly kneed while
protecting one Of Coady's punts that
two of his ribs were broken. Later in
the same game, and in a similar way,
French was badly kneed in the head.
On the other hand, Hubbard AYERS,
Harvard undoubtedly is to blame for
many things" among them mistakes
in her policies and tactless acts" but
the Crimson, he adds, has not high
hated Princeton"
1T is my belief" the former Grim
son player concludes, "that if Prince
ton will look squarely into this whole
football situation at home, and pay
more attention to methods and prac-
tices than to the winning of games,
between Harvard and Prince
ton may eventually be resumed"
