~ USINESS high loses a number
of clever athletes by gradua-
N ton this month, but formidable
4 performers will return to
school to form the foundation
for the various 1929 teams. How
ever, several of the boys returning,
though fine alI.around performers,
were not such good students and We're
of comparatively little help to their
school this season. If the boys in this
group or any considerable number of
them can make the grade in their
studies Business should show sturdily
in just about every sport the coming
scholastic year.
Athletes to be lost include Edward
Marosy, pitcher on the ball team and
tackle on the foot ball eleven; Ran
dolph Shreve, pitcher and outfielder
with the diamonders and a guard on
the grid combination: Tony Stewart,
all-around athlete; Harry Slye, jr.,
first baseman, who, however. saw
little service during the past season:
Fridinger. catcher, who was ineligible
for the 1927 nine; Alton Darne, bali
player, and Harry Berg of the tennis
team.
Among the bang-up performers who
will return to school are Dick keefer,
Charley May. Bernard Jones, Jack

concrete and steel clubhouse. a new
grandstand and hleachers of the
same material and a rebuilt paddock
are among improvements planned at
the Bowie race track, according to
James r. O'Hara, the general man

said. and the improvements Will be
completed in time for the opening
OF the racing season at the track in

building of about ESQ boxes. We had
SO boxes in the old grandstand. The
capacity of the new grandstand will
be 10000.
another improvement Will be a
mezzanine floor on which facilities
for betting will be placed so that the
patrons will not have to so out into
the weather.

the bleachers. The old bleacherS
seated about 1900.
I'VE shall rebuild the paddock to
make it n concrete and steel struc-
ture. and put in a mezzanine Hoor
there. in addition to the mezZanine
floor under the grandstand. so that
the visitors to the track may walk
around it and look down at the
horses in the paddock.
1.-THE clubhouse will be rebuilt
with the dining room, which for
merly seated about rs, enlarged so
that it will seat $50.
"All the new structures will be of
concrete and steel and the track Will
be modern in every respect"

BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK. June 15.-Unti1 the
contracts are signed and Jack Demp-
sey has passed the requirements of
the New York boxing board. the fans
of the East are unwilling to believe
that Tex Richard will stage the Jack
Dempsey Jack Sharkey battle in
July. Too many contradictory reports
have come out of the West, and the
East. too, for that matter, to make
the fans take much stock in them
until the bout is actually scheduled
and the pasteboards are put on sale.
Dempsey tackling Sharkey would
be the best thing the champion
has ever done: this, of course is said
on the assumption that Dempsey is
sincere. He owes it to the public
who banked on his making one of his
good fights last FAN against Gene
Tunney, only to see him wabble
around like a drunken sailor in the
wind and the rain.
II would be foolhardy for another
promoter to try to bring Dempsey
and Tunney together again. The
public has been fed up on news that
the former champion was doped or
poisoned before the big fight; after
that came stories of radical trouble
with his spine and all such gun. IL
stands to reason Dempsey cannot
have overcome all his supposed all
ments in such a short time and be
fit to tackle his conqueror.
Dempsey wants to fight again. No
one doubts that. Sharkey is willing
and it is up to the pair to get to-
gether and make the next heavy
weight battle something of interest
to witness.
The more the contender shows, the
better the gate-which, after all, is
the big thing

SAYS BUSINESS MEN
EXERCISE TOO MUCH
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 15.-Lord Dawson
of Penn. King Georges physician. be-
lieves lots of British business men
exert themselves too much during
their week ends.
Lord Dawson thinks that men who
work five and one-half days a week
in offices often need rest more than
golf and other vigorous exercises. on
Saturday afternoons. He suggests
that many office men might do well
to ride rather than walk too much.
He advises tired business men to ride
home Saturday afternoon, take good
rest and delay their golf playing until
Sunday.
'Too much physical effort after con.
tinued mental effort often produces
dyspepsia and headache" says Lord
Dawson of Penn. Rest and light
food do more to keep business man
in trim than too vigorous exercise"

N YEW YORK, June 15.-Jack
DempseY's drive to win back
Nj the title he lost is to begin
July u in a battle with Jack
Sharkey at the Yankee Sta
dunn here. Tex Richard has spoken.
When he and SharlIey together at
tended boxing show at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard last night he broke the
news.
One of the most delighted tars pres
emit was Sharkey, who learned to fight
aboard man o. war. Sharkey is sure
he can lick Dempsey or Tunney him
self, for that matter. The winner of
this fray is to have the coveted chance
TO meet the champion for the title.
The fighting marine" has started
light training in preparation Tor Its
defense in September.
Richard added the information that
Dempsey would come East at once
and take over his old training quar-
tiers at Saratoga, n. Y.
Dempsey is one OF the youngest eX-
champions to attempt comeback.
He will be 80 June "a. His opponent,
Sharkey, is %.
Both men have the knockout punch
that makes ring heroes and packs
arenas. Sharkey proved he did in his
tigerlike telling of Jimmy Maloney.
Dempsey, while he may never reach
the physical perfection of 1919, when
he knocked out Jess Willard at Toledo,
has been giving a squad of sparring
partners a battering that attests to
considerable dynamite still in the good
right hand.
A gate of a million is the goal of
Tex Richard, the principals to receive
IS per cent each.
Dempsey is Elated.
Los ANGELES, June Is R.-Jack
Dempsey today declared he was in the
best shape of his career for the bout
with Jack Sharkey. arranged by Tex
Richard for July 81.
I'm glad the suspense is over.
the former heavyweight champion
said, in referring to recent negotla-
lions through which he hoped to get
a chance. to regain the crown he lost
to Gene Tunney.
.''I started by comeback training 10
weeks ago and the daily progress
more than satisfied my most skepti-
cal friends" he continued. when
I first started work, it was for a re-
turn fight with Tunney. Since that
time, Sharkey, through his decisive de-
feat of Jim Maloney. has earned the
right to be considered logical chal-
lenger for the heavyweight crown.

A NNAPOLIs. June 15.-Rear
n Admiral Louis NJ. Mutton,
"A superintendent of the Naval
4 4 Academy, has announced that,
beginning July /, 1928, the
NAVY viii adopt and require the
three-year eligibility rule in all ath-
Ietic games. This is a drastic change
in the Nays policy
1t means, it was explained, that the
NAVY will not schedule games with
any university or college that has not
adopted the threeyear eligibility rule.
1t also means that the Navy itself will
adhere strictly to the thrce-year rule
in addition to the freshmen and aca-
demic rules which are already IN eX-
istence at the school.
Others Considered
Comdr. Jonas H. Ingram, athletic
director at the Naval Academy. said
the enforcement Of the change was
put off until July /, 1928. so that the
schools that play the Navy will have a
full opportunity to adjust themselves
to the rule.
THE gist of the rule" said Admiral
Mutton, lis that no student shall rep
resent his university or college in
intercollegiate athletics for more than
three academic years. But the year
or years during which a student may
have represented another university
or college in intercollegiate athletics
shall be counted as a part OF the
years of representation only in the
same sport in which he has competed. -
1t was further explained that If a
man played foot ball in another school
for three years that fact does not pre-
vent him from representing school
later in base ball, track, rowing or
other athletics.
The new rule will have considerable
bearing on the games between the
Army and Navy after the date the
new Navy rule goes into effect. The
Army agreed this Winter to the fresh
man rule, which prevents athletes en-
taring the West Point schooi from
participating in varsity athletics IN
their first year, but the Army has not
agreed to refuse to play men on its
varsity teams who have had three
