or twelve days, attending physicians
announced.
HE is highly unstrung. His
mental and physical condition are
both affected by his breakdown"

Complete rest was prescribed for
the film comedian. He remained
in bed at the apartment Of his
attorney, Nathan Burkan, denied to

Mingling among the multi
tude in the marts and palaces
and novels and dens of Wash
ington we find a great senti-
ment in favor of Mr. Jack
Dempsey to overcome his mas
ter of the Sesouicentennial
Bowl when the twain keep their
next business engagement in
Chicago late next month-Sep-
TENDER % to be specific.
Whether this sentiment be
sentiment indeed or real conf
dence in Dempsey's present abil-
lty as q ringman is q question.
There is always that element of
opinion which puts its man on a
pedestal and refuses to bulge
him from there regardless of
his professional conduct and
there is that trend of thought
which can't lose its admiration
for the Manassas Mauler be-
cause of his past greatness but
which would not be willing to
lay q dime on the line to the
effect he could whip a real
good foeman.
And there you are.
We find this view rather
well established among gentles
men who are generally credited
with knowing their boxing
oats-that the more Jim Ma
loney is slapped around, the
less regard seems to be mani
Tested for Sharkey. And tax
ing the edge off Sharkey means
taking the edge off Dempsey's
victory over him.
One Of the surest thermom-
eters of public faith in this
fighter or race horse is to be
found in the places where they
like to lay a little on the line,
as it were. There is an old
expression to the effect that
money talks" and usually
when money is behind a sport
ing entry it can be looked to
to bring back good interest,
and when it isn't, it's a good
bunch to lay off.
In this regard, let it be said
that some Of the folks we have
confronted with the Tunney-
Dempsey question are those
who do often put d little some
thing on the line, and alas,
alack-a-day, it looks as though
the financial spell is going to
be on Tunney this time, rather
than Dempsey.
The boys stuck along with
Dempsey at Philadelphia and
got bumped. They doubled up
in some cases and simply COW
cred up in others on Dempsey
at New York, and those who
didn't make a little something
at least came out even on the
two fights.
They don't expect to get in
hot water over Jack Dempsey
again, and for that reason
many of them will be backing
Gene Tunney to keep his title

begins.

By Charles (Chick) Evans, jr.

The death OF Walter ]. Travis in
Denver, Colo, closed q significant
chapter in American golf history.
No man in his time exercised
more potent influence IN the game
or stood higher ~ q player. To
the youngsters Of that period he
was a figure TO worship.

carry his clubs.
The Washington times., 1927-08-22

One of the most notable things
about Walter j. Travis is that he
learned the game at q time when
most players are about to retire.
He was nearly 40 when he began to
play and was well over that period
when he won the British amateur.
In comparing his game with the
champions of the present day we
can only say that he met the diff
culties of his time and surmounted
them. lie did not play q game
that would fit into the present day,
and 1t would be hard to ina CINE
him playing Oakmont successfully.
He could not reach the greens in
time, but once there he would be
supreme, for no one amateur or
professional has ever equaled him
as a putter.
