N OF Jack Dempsey returning to
VI the ring seems to most observ-
L ers to be inspired largely by
efforts to brace up the sagging
fortunes Of the f1istic game.
They have sagged, especially from
the box office viewpoint, this year to a
marked degree by comparison with the
feydays of the boom era that started
in 1923 That was the year Dempsey
and Firpo fought their memorable bat
tie at the Polo Grounds.
BY a strange, if not ominous coinci-
dence. Firpo also figures in the come
back talk 1t would be an odd turn of
circumstance If both the Argentine Bull
and the old ManaSsa Mauler climbed
back through the ropes next year. 1t
probably also would furnish an odder
comparison with their fighting powers
Of 1923.
There was only one Dempsey Firpo
fight. No revival of that epic battle
rculd touch the original, any more than
he famous Leonard Tender light
weight rivalry of the same period could
stand being reproduced.
Would Stimulate Interest.
There appears little question, on the

imagination as the former champion

BAY STATE ASSURED
OF SUNDAY SPORTS
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, November 8.-The count
on the Sunday sports law referendum
at Tuesdays general election had prog
ressed suficiently today to assure its
supporters that the measure had swept
the State.
Paid sports. particularly base ball
and soccer. but not including boxing
or automobile racing, next year Will
be legally permissible In all cities OF the
State which elect to grant local licenses.
Returns from three-fourths OF the
total precincts in the State showed a
yes vote of 577,353; no, 304, 1913. In this
city the vote was better than to l
in favor of the referendum which will
make possible major league base ball
games here next season.
Heretofore both Boston clubs have
suffered the financial handicap of not
being able to realize on the large crowds
which patronize the game on Sundays
In other league cities.
The vote on referendum was so
heavy that there was no question but
that it had complied with the legal
requirement that the yes figure be at
least 80 per cent of the total vote cast
for any Office or act in the same elec-
ton.

Penn and Harvard both have been de-
feated by the fighting Navy team and
by Army. respectively, but little inter-

an easy time with Temple. which was
tumbled from that list last week by
Schuylkill after going through five
games without having a point scored
against 1t.
Brown Plays Dartmouth.
The traditional rivalries between
Brown and Dartmouth and Pittsburgh
and washington and Jefferson also will
be settled for 1928 this week. Although
they no longer are contenders for
high honors. all four teams are strong

Talk Of Dempsey Comeback
Tabled as Box Office Dodge

So long as Dempsey Is around the
borders of the racket" there will be
insistence that he take "one more"
fling. 1t is business proposition, and
the punch is the main factor involved.
1t disregards entirely the fact that two
additional years of idleness will take
Just that much more toll of Jacks
other old ring assets-speed and stam-
ina. These waned rapidly after the one
big shot in Chicago in the seventh
round
Dempsey sSys he won't fight again
and he may mean it. But 1t is Just as
well to pote that If he said anything
else now the Winters ballyhoo would
be sadly handicapped. Comebacks al
ways start in the Winter. Whether
they actually bloom in the Spring is
something else to guess about
Fields Now in Limelight.
Just when things look trifle dull in
the ring racket, however, some fist
usually hobs up in the West to admin
lister a few resounding wallops.

record SUM, FIVE
PLAYERS, INVOLVED
Cubs Give From $4,000
to 100000, in Addition
to Talent, for Raiah.

By the Associated Press.
HICAGO, November 8.-Rogers
4 Hornsby, the transient star OF
I National League base ball, Will
~ next be seen in a Chicago Cub
uniform
Five players and a large sum OF
money, perhaps the largest amount ever
involved in a base ball deal, will go
to the Boston Braves in exchange for
the "Rajah," who has worn the uni
forms of three clubs in the past three
years.
The long-rumored deal, which gave
the Cubs the National Leagues leading
hitter, was completed last night in a
telephone conversation between Presl-
dent w. l.. Veeck of the Chicago cub
and Judge Emil E. Fuchs, president OF
the Braves.
President Veeck refused to divulgs
the exact sum of money involved, but
intimated it was between $150,000 and
100000 The highest price previously
paid for a player was $4,000, given
by New York Yankees to the Boston
Red SoX for Babe Ruth in 1920.
Two Regulars Involved.
True to President Weeks statement
that the Cub team would not be
wrecked to get Hornsby, only two regu-
lars we're included in the transaction.
One was Freddie Mcguire, who was
moved to make room for Hornsby at
second base, and the other was Percy
Jones, veteran southpaw. The other
three players were Louis Leggett, rookie
catcher, recalled from the Cubs farm
at Reading, Pa; Harry Seibold, re-
cruit hurler who starred with the Read
ing club last season, and Bruce Cum
a pitcher acquired from Los
Angeles.
Hornsby's transfer to the Cubs gives
him the unique record of being the most
traded star base ball ever has known.
In 1925 he managed the st. Louis
Cardinals to a world series title. In
1927 he was in New York Giant uni
form.
Hornsby had great year with the
Giants in 1927, successfully managing
the team during John McGraw's alb
sence, but the opening of the 1928
season found him at Boston. In the
middle of the 1928 race Jack Slattery
as manager and Hornsby was
named to succeed him. Hornsbys sale
70 Boston for Players Welsh and Hogan
proved a bigger surprise than his shift
from st. Louis to the Giants. Mystery
still shrouds reasons for the deal.
To Take Over Contract.
1t is probable the Cubs will take over
Hornsbys Boston contract, which calls
for an annual salary of approximately
$40, 900.
Hornsby made his major league debut
in 1915, coming up from the Dallas,
TeY clIh for a re;1orted $500 In 1915
he played 18 games at shortstop for
st. Louis, but from 1916 to 1921 he
played three different infleld positions
and once tried the outfield.
From 1922 to 1926 he confined his
Efforts to second base, and during that
period established numerous batting
records. In 1922 he set league record

CUBS WIN ON DEAL;
FUCHS FACES TASK
By JOHN B. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, November S.-Final ne
gotiations have been completed for the
transfer of Rogers Hornsby, manager
and second baseman of the Boston
Braves, to the Chicago Nationals. The
papers in the transfer were signed sew
eral weeks ago in New York.
The Chicago club profits chiefly by
the transaction. In exchange for
Hornsby, Chicago gives MCGUIRE, the
best fielding second baseman in the
game; with Jones, a promising left
hand pitcher who always has Just
managed to fail to come UP to his
promises, and a sum of cash which may
or may not be 100000. The other
three players traded are experimental

NEW YORK, November 8-When a
crowd of upward of $4,000 people goes
to see a foot ball team that lost its
first three games play team that lost
its first four there must be something
of importance behind it. That attend
ance has been predicted for the Navy
Michigan encounter at Baltimore Sat-
urday and the attraction for the huge
crowd lies in the prospect OF thrilling
battle between two teams that nave
come back brilliantly after making poor
starts-a battle that should be as close
as any game in the East.
With their morale impaired by the
death of Miles Fox during an early
season practice, the Midshipmen got
off to slow start and dropped close
games to Davis lkins, Boston College
and Notre Dame before they won their
first game from Duke. The next Satur-
day they burst into the limelight with
a victory over the highly rated Pennsvl-
vania team and followed 1t up by
trouncing West Virginia Wesleyan, 81
