OHICAGO. September "a
Everybody but Jack Dempsey
4 has had his fun say on the
~ long count" of that thrilling
seventh round in Soldier
Field Thursday night, and the ex-
champion, still wearing the ex was
expected to give his final word on
the subject today.
! Jack has refused to receive any
callers whatever since he returned to
his wife's suite after the losing bat
| tie for the world S heavyweight cham
pionship with Gene Tunney, but sent
out word last night that a formal
statement would be forthcoming to-
day.
/ Manager Leo P. Flynn. whose au-
thority to represent Dempsey was
questioned by the Illinois State Ath-
letic Commission, presented a formal
protest to the commissioners and was
told that 1t would be received and
considered If it bore Dempsey's own
signature. Flynn left to get that
signature. and there the protest
rested, with the commissioners in
timating that it would do no good
even if it was officially authorized.
/ The referee, Dave Barry; the time
keeper, Paul Beeler, and one of the
two Judges, George Lytton, sitting
within inches of the fallen champion
during the long count" gave the
commission their formal statements
Of the affair. These concurred in
maintaining that the boxing rules Of
Illinois, virtually identical with those
of other States where boxing is
Iegaiized, had been complied with to
the absolute letter.
Lytton's declaration supported
Tunneys own statement that the
tjtIeholder would have been able to
arise at the count of q, whether it
was slow, fast, long or Short but
chose TO take all the rest allotted
him under the rules.

fight" said Champion Gene, about re-
firing to the corner farthest away from
the man who was knocked down. 1t
was perfectly clear to me and as
suned it was TO Dempsey. / can say
that I could have arisen after the
count Of one had I wanted to. But /
was entitled to remain down until the
count of nine and did so. My seconds
waved 10 me to stay on the floor. 1t
was not for me TO figure elapsed time.
Tunney was certain that, if the fight
had gone another round or two, IT
would have been impossible for the
former champion 10 remain on his
feet. and so he Joined the millions Of
other "iffers" on the epic events OF
the fight.
The future plans Of Tunney We're
still bit uncertain. It was announced
he would leave tomorrow on the Twen
tieth Century for Cleveland or New
York, and later it was announced he
had accepted an invitation Of Mayor
William Hale Thompson 10 a luncheon

An inquiry to determine whether

the sporting prominence of the user,
has been instituted by the Federal
Trade Commission.
The commission announced today 1t
had authorized the holding of a trade
practice conference of the golf ball
industry, following receipts of sug-
gestions from a ma jolity of manu-
facturers and importers of golf balls
that such a meeting would be desira-

loch was named to represent the com.
mission at the conference, to be held
on a date to be announced later
The practice of golf bali manufac-
turers paying professionals to play a
particular kind of ball is known to
be widespread. In addition the com
mission wants to find out whether
golf ball manufacturers pay special
prize money to professional golfers
who win matches or tournaments,
and whether they make special balls
for use of professionals in matches
and tournaments.
The commission also wants to
know whether professionals are given
free golf balls in any way.

cluding golf balls. He conducts this
business in his own right, it is said,
and receives all the profits therefrom,
the club sometimes making his col

give these professionals free balls in
order to have them push the sale
of a particular ball. These balls the
professional may sell, but more often
he plays with them, thus adding to
the prestige of the particular ball in

Tex Richard, a shreWd diagnotician
of public opinion. has shown signs
of actual enthusiasm over a third
Tunney- Dempsey fight, and Tunney
has indicated his Willingness to meet

hole. Cooper must have felt that
he now had IL chance. Then Ar
mour came to his lie, some 80
yards from the pin, chose a spade
mashie and, amid thunderous APP
plause, pitched inside of Cooper.
SO close was his ball that fully
half the gallery that could see the
shot imagined Tommy was going
to hole out. That pitch wrecked
CoOpers last hopes. 1t was great
shot under the conditions.
Armour's spade mashie is his
deadliest club. He plays it with
much left and the face open, so
that it is sure to hold close to
where it drops. This shot took but
one jump and settled down within
IS inches of where it struck the
green. There is little pivot as Ar
mour plays it, a short backsWing,
right elbow in, and a clean hit
under the ball with club face, then
a divot. Direction is evidently in
Tommy's mind, for at the finish
his club follows out on a line
toward the pin.
