The Legion f1stic card went over

Windy Myers, Cincinnati, out

eight rounds. It was the semi

evening devoid of thrills. Neither boy

The prelims were marked by two
knockouts. Danny Budd, Terre

Elmer Lag, Louisville, connected

Few games are hanging on the edge

are the ones in which upsets occur.
Indiana university now looms as
team capable of upsetting teams

Fight Game
Is Down in
BadShape
FiStiCutfing Trade Slips to
Bottom; Few Champs
Willing.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Shorts Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The fight
game is as idle as painted Joe
Beckett upon a painted canvas.
The good ship "Fisticuffs," which
for seven seasons sailed the seven
seas of financial success with golden
sails a-billow and the matches fairly
popping with prosperity, is in the
doldrums. Captain Tex has gone
below and the crew doesn't know
what to do about it..
Only One Ready
Right at the moment, there is but
one champion prepared to defend
his title, only one promoter able to
pay him to do so, and probably very
few fight fans who care very much
one way or another.
The light heavyweight champion
won't fight in his class and the mid
dleweight champion can't. Joe
Dundee, welterweight champion, has
agreed TO meet young Jack Thomp-
son Nov. Is, but the titleholder and
his hand-carved manager, Make
WaXman, still are fusSing about the
ticket prices.
The lightweight champion won't
fight lghtweights and the feather
weight champion won't fight
Americans and there is less public
interest in the still lighter divisions
than in the middle name of Abdel
B. Ell Ouafi.
Jacks play FIops
The fight game, admitting there
is any necessity for it at all, needs
a tonic. A certain young thespian
is out of a job, 1.-THE Big Fight"
having Topped in Hartford and ex-
pired in New Haven. There is mem
ton Of Jack Dempsey appearing in
the talking movies, but not among
those who have heard him talk.
1t would not be surprising IL
Dempsey, who, a few weeks ago.
admitted his retirement was not
necessarily permanent, would per-
NIT himself to be persuaded to re-
turn to the ring next year.
When Jack was fighting, or even
talking about it, or even keeping
silent about it, the whole game was
prosperous. It's decline dates with
his departure, not with Tunney's.
