Gene Tunney got married. Records
were established and new champions
made, and yet the achievements,
however, notable, run second to the
amazing interest and mad enthu-
siasrn of those who more and more
are turning to the big outdoors and
the recreational side.
Millions literally paid millions to
satisfy this Indulgence. Football,
baseball, racing, lawn tennis, polo,
hockey and all the rest set up stag
gering attendance figures which
testify to the robust health of ath-
Ietics in general. A new world
record for the gridiron came when

 RICHARD TALMADGE IS
 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

! Richard Talmadge. F. B. O's stunt star, seems to have an end- less number of thrilling feats in store for his audiences, and in his newest picture, ''The Merry Cava- lier,p he manages to eclipse even his best record to date. The pro- duction, which comes to the Lib erty tcright, is replete with swift action and full of gripping sus- pense. The agile Talmadge leaps and bounds in his customary buoy ant fashion and is sparklingly radi- ant in his usual vivacious manner. The story, is a particularly happy choice for Dick because it is rich in the very qualities which are hi sparticular forte, namely, spec tacular stunts, brilliant humor and charming romance. The cast in- cHdes such favorites as Charlotte Stevens, Jack Richardson, William H. Tooker, Joseph Harrington and E. O'Farrell.

 Gossip about Dempsey and Filqo at least will mcnopolize the come back spotlight until the inevitable boom starts for Gene Tunney to quit retirement.
 Dempsey is 8 years old and hasn't had fight s.nce Sep.em- Der, 1927, when Tunney defeated him in Chicago. Despite the long count controversy, Jack wac convinced after the druhblng he took al Soldiers Field that Gene was his master and made good h.s determination tc keep the peace as long as Gene remained in the game
 H'hgs are different now. Gene is on the shelf, q bunch of medi- ocre youngsters dominate the heavyweight class, and, the re- ports gay, Jack needs the money.
 As for Firpo, il seems that the old Pampas mauler just cannot withstand an opportunity to co.lccl S400,000. the sum Tex Riekard is said to have offered him for few fights in the Uni.ed States.
 Luis is the big oyarglown lad, whom Dempsey stopped in a hair raising bout in 1923. Jack, after stopping a swing with his chin, picked himself up from the audi enee and came back 10 pound the Argentine giant 10 the canvas in the second round.
 Maybe they'll both como back. sweep through a few selups and then clash in burlesque of their memorable championship battle of five years ago.

OUT OF HOSPITAL

After nine months, lacking about a week, of steady confinement in St. Ann's hospital as the result of tramway accident, wherein he suffered a broken leg last Feb luary. William Ott is back home again and able to get around with the ail of one crutch and a cane. Due to the sp.intered condition of the bone resulting from the break, second operation became neees- sary before the break would mend which neeessitated MT. Ott's long adjournment in the hospital. He is feeling fine now, however, and with more opportunity for exer- else to strengthen the injured leg he expects to get around as well as ever in short time.

sible visions of two old men trying to fight again.
 But it seems 10 be a foregone conclusion that Dempsey, at least will be back in fighting tegs next summer And the only thing that would prevent Firpo from trying again is his present massive form, which, at his age. may withstand the best efforts to reduce it to the semblance of fighting figure.

CLOSE RACE FOR SCORING H0N0RS
Arena Just Eight Points Behind Paul LaHaT in Dusty League
Exactly eight points separate Nick

Exactly eight points separate Nick ward. from Paul LaHar, Fafnir star who has been leading the scores in the Industrial Basketball league over two months. Although LaHar had q big night in the Stanley Works -Faf- nir game last Saturday. Arena had a better one Tuesday night and he cut further into the lead which Lahar has been steadily losing in the last two weeks. The Fafnir star has 9i points and Arena has S6.
 However, Lahar gained one thing during the past week when he took the foul shooting crown away from Arena and he now has top honors in both field and foul goals. Joe Jasper's big night last Tuesday brought him back to third place in the select circle. He is just one point ahead Of Andy Yakubowitz.
 Three players are tied for fifth place, Havlick. Bucheri, and Beng ston with 5S points each. ''Hammy' Darrow again fell from the circle, but is still within striking distance,
 Arena and LaHar have two more games in which to settle the lead and Yakubowitz and Jasper have three more games. It may be nee cssary to wait until the New Britain Machine and Tatnirs play each oth- CT in the last game of the season 10 see who will take the lead.

 Jamson. Morgan and Sumnla should be the outfeld selections, while the infield looks like Burns, Fonseca, Joe Scwell and Hodapp, reading from the first to third base. The Indians have sufficient reserve strength here with Aaron Ward and Manager Pcckinpaugh ready to step in when things go awry. Luke Scwell, who expects another good year, will do the bulk of the catch ing. with Myatt, Hartley and Autry in reserve.
 There is still plenty of room for improvement with the Indians, and it may be some time before the new administration of the club begins to get telling results. But they may be better this year.

Aspirations Of Dayton Fighter
 Are Sidetracked Temporarily

New York. March sl P-Aspira- tions of Joe Sekyra of Dayton. O.. to gain pugilistic fame in the light heavyweight division have been side tracked. for the time being at least. by Leo Lomski, the Aberdeen
 Wash, assassin.
 Lomski soundly thrashed the Day ton lad in a ten round bout in Madi- son Square Garden last night before a crowd of 13.0o0 which paid S4?,- i792 to witness the spectacle.
 Lomski was hard pressed only in the third round. when Sekyra had

 Lomski spinning half way across the
 arena Near the end of the round
 Lomski complained of a low blow,
 but the referee refused to recognize
 the claim of foul.
 Lomski kept out of the long range fists of Sekyra thereafter and
 hammered the Dayton battler with
 out quarter in close fighting style. Hard right hand punches in the first
 round by Lomski almost dropped Sekyra. The coast fighter continued Ia heavy clubbing attack in the sec ond round but sustained in return Ia solid jab over the right eye which started to puff out.
 After the third. Lomski forced the action to remain fin close quarters. Esekyra was in retreat in the six and seventh. At the opening of the eighth, the Daytonian flashed some of the form he had displayed in the third round. but Lomski cut the ra1- ly short by pounding home terrific
 body blows which kept Sekyra on
 the defensive. Lomski then kept up
 the assault on Sekyra's ribs and
 sides to the final bell. Lomski weighed 17o, sekyra III 1-o. Owing to his triumph, Lomski re- ceives consideration for return bout with Tommy Loughran. worlds
 light heavyweight champion. in an
 open air show this coming summer.

WALTER JOHNSON
 l ENTERS HOSPITAL
Famous Pitcher Suffering From
 RaQagS Of Influenza

Washington. March 31 R-Far from the picture of physical perfec- ton he portrayed for a score of years in the majors Walter Johnson now manager of the Newark Inter- national baseball team has entered Emergency hospital here to recover from the after effects of an attack of influenza.
 Weighing but 165 pounds. 30 or more under his usual playing weight and plainly showing the ravages of the illness that struck him down shortly after the first of the year and from which he had not fully recovered when he started training at St. Augustine. the veteran pitcher will be constantly under observation at the intitution during an indefinite rest period.
 It is doubtful whether the former speed king will be able to be pres ent to start his first year after re- tirement from the big leagues as manager of a minor league team. when the Bears open the season April IS at Newark against the Tor onto Leafs.
 In his stead to take the manager ial reigns will be George Mcbride. his assistant and one-time shortstop and captain of the Washington club which Johnson served so long and faithfully.
 Brought here last night from Jacksonville where he had been un- | dergoing tests in hospital. Johnson was moved to an automobile in a l wheel chair and taken to Emergency hospital in company with Dr. Harry NJ. Kaufman. the local institutions chief of staff, and Clark Griffith. i president of the Washington team. Both accompanied Johnson here from Florida.
 "Walter is suffering from the after effects Of the flu and the poioons which have followed along the intes- tinal tract have affected the kid neys." said Kaufman. the pitchers personal physician. Johnson will 1 be placed under observation. I am ] confident he will come around all right and will be himself again in a few weeks
 1 Griffith said Johnson was glad to 1 get back to hts old home town. Johnson wanted to come back to 1 Washington and it cheered him greatly when we picked him up at 1 Jacksonville. said the Washington chieftain. 'He has improved even since that time. as he could barely walk when he first saw him. We noticed a great change in him when he had reached Washington as this is home to him.
 Griffith declared that Johnson had stopped worrying about his Newark club, something he at first could not help doing. Paul Block, owner of the Bears. prevailed upon the i pitcher to forget the club for the
 time being. Griffith added.
 This is the second time in as many years that misfortune has overtaken
 Johnson. Last season he was hii
 on the ankle during spring training
 by line drive from the bat of Joe
 Judge and returned home where he
 was idle until the middle of May He never fully recovered his old
 time for during the 1927 campaign
