IT. HE recent declaration of Will
liam Muldoon, octagenarlan
i member of the New York State
Athletic Commission, that since
Tunney has retired Dempsey Is en-
titled to be officially recognized as
heavyweight champion of the world,
and which started q lively pro and
con discussion in boxing circles, has
evoked an echo in Washington. The
following, addressed to this column,
is from the typewriter of Leland F.
James:
"The foremost question today is:
Who is the legitimate champion
since Tunney's REIMBURSEMENT of the
heavyweight diadem? My answer is
Dempsey.
Dempsey held the title until de-
throned by Gene, hence, since the
latter has retired, IL, all justice the
title should reDert to the preceding
titleholder. As it this is not enough
to conDince those 1UtO say that Jack
Sharkey is the outstanding contender
today, let it not be forgotten that
Dempsey, though he has gone back
some, as might be expected, from his
Willard, Firpo form, nevertheless had
enough left to put Sharkey aUdy in
SeUen rounds.
Dempsey today, at SO years of
age, is good enough to beat any of
the present heavyweight crop. He
may have slowed up some, but he
still has the old wallop which made
him the most popular champion of
all times
X X X X
y E. LEWIS writes in to inquire
the consensus of opinion on
-. who Is considered the most
scietific heavyweight boxer and the
first five ranking heayyweights of
all time In that respect.
James J. Corbett generally is con-
sidered to haze been the most scien-
tifc hedUy,Uetght borer, but TOE don't
feel qualified to attempt ranking
OF the merit four on that basis.
Jack Johnson probably should be
included, as he was one Of the best
defensive fighters among the big
fellows. Tunney also was undeni-
ably clever, and SO was Tom Glib

~ ITTSBURGH, January 15.-The
Pittsburgh Pirates will open the
1929 season with an expert

Pittsburgh.
The addition of two minor leaguers,
the trading of Glenn Wright and recall

experimenting necessary.

to be the key man of the proposed 1929
Pirate edition. Stroner replaces Tray

Wright, sent to Brooklyn for jess Petty

Waner Brothers Fixtures.
The Waner brothers are outfield fix

Grantham and Brickell battle it out
for the sun field, Comorsky having the
edge.
The team has high-class moundsmen.

recruits who showed enough form to
be retained are Blankenship and
Taucher. Dawson, aviator when not
pitching; Swetonic, just purchased from
Indianapolis, and Meme Of Kansas
City round out the staff.
Catchers Plentiful.
Catchers are plentiful. Charley Har-
greaves will have to hustle to retain
first-string position with Hemsley and
Spencer doing the pushing. Spencer
was repurchased from indianapolis last
year. Hemsley Is rated one of the best
backstops to break into major league
base ball in several years. Each has q
fine throwing arm and both are fair
batsmen.

baseman. may see plenty of action.
The club admittedly lost tremendous
punch in Wright's passing. He was
considered one of the best pinch hitters
in the league and was unusually de-
pendable with men on the bases.
Should ComorSky clinch left field,
Grantham and Riconda may figure In q
deal with the possibility also that
Grantham will be retained as utility
man. He Is fine first sacker. fair at
second. passable in any outfield berth
and swatsmith of proved ability.
Jewell Ems and Oscar Stanage have
been retained as coaches.

perimental. is one of appealing pos
sibilities.

oke Took Up Wood Cutting osby Tells Hon. He Built Up Weight
ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
=Bv DENMAN THOMPSON:

right to the throne vacated by Tun-
ney Is clear, and he also credits
Jack with hitting fairly well with
skill and with being fast with his
hands.
But, he adds, Sharkey has a weak
stomach, which will effectually bar
his path to the title. Says Tommy
of Jack:
"A smart fighter Mould keep teint-
ing for ShGrkey's stomach, thus
dOtDn until he presented an opening
again, there aren't many smart fel-
lo,Us among the big boys"
Loughran only intimated that he
is one of them, and the interesting
thing about that is that it's true, IL
you are willing to concede that a
175-pounder is "big boy" Or, at
least, big enough.
TT AVING gotten this far along
RI with things f1stic as the sole
4 topic, it might be both fitting
and timely to observe that Sharkey
is busy giving further evidence of
the qualities that have caused him
to be known by such terms as the
"loquacious Lithuanian and the
Boston talking machine"
Sharkey's latest outburst deals
iCith Tunney, 1UtOm Jack rates as
smart but lucky chap. Says Sharkey:
Scene is strictly self made man
and deserves lot of credit. Nature
probably intended him for a chorus
man, and he made himself cham
pi0n Of the world. He started In
with nothing but a crush ON him
self-and now look at him. Re-
tired heavyweight champion Of the
world, a fat bankr0ll, a nice wife
and pleasant future. He gives me
pain In the neck, but he's a smart
guy.
"Tunney grabbed everything that
could be squeezed out of the fight
racket-everything, that Is, but the
one thing he needed most. If ever
there was a man who needed a good
licking, it is Tunney."
To the suggestion that everybody
had had q chance to giue it to hin,
before Tunney quit, Sharkey replied:
"Not everybody. I don't wish
Tunney any harm, but IL he should
decide to fight again, hope I'm the
guy he meets
There's typical sample of why
Sharkey has been referred to as the
"garrlllOlls Cob" and such HIT IL
won't be taken any more seriously
than his so-called hypnotic eye"
with which he is credited with
trans6xing opponents.
We've seen Tunney in tUo fohts.

Dhich he lost ito Dempsey and it's
our opinion that if they met Sharkey
Mould reach the painful conclusion
that Gene is tough as tDell as smart.

GOLF ARMY MOVES
TO PASADENA LINKS
By BRIGGS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf, January Is
Pasadena's municipal golf course was
the last field of action today for the
golfing troupe making the rounds Of the
Pacific Coast tournaments. The busi-
ness at hand was 54-hole open tourna-
ment. with prizes totaling $4,000.
With but few exceptions the field was
the same as that which competed In
the Los Angeles $4,000 open, finished
yesterday, a day later than scheduled.
The Pasadena course has narrow fair
ways, plenty of dangerous traps and a
total yardage of 6,425.
The entry list of more than 200 in
cluded such figures as Macdonald
Smith of Great Neck, Long Island, who
successfully defended his crown in the
Los Angeles tournament; Tommy Ar
mour of Washington, D. c., who took
second place in that event this week,
but only after valiant battle: Walter
Hagen of Detroit, British open cham
pion, and Leo Diegel, national profess
sional king.
Diegel, off to q poor start in the Los
Angeles meet, made such rousing fin
ish that he was installed as a favorite
along with Mac Smith and Armour
to take first money in the current event.
Play today was confined to ID holes
of qualifying, with the low 81 scorers
and ties going inc the final 36-hole
drive tomorrow.

The game that they label as hockey;
They knock them so nat
That INreally think that
The name Of the game should be "socky."
It's the simplest trick
To trip with the stick
Or rap out q couple OF teeth
And the customers roar
If there isn't some gore
Or cause for donating q wreath.

And few people bleed
Just gather an eyeful of hockey;

One Of Richards Big Moments.
It has been said that Tex Rickard
was never excited, even In the midst
of his two mountaineering Tunney-
Dempsey fights.
yet there was day last Winter when
I saw Tex quite excited-more so than
I had ever seen him at any fight. 1t
was lust after he had beaten Gene
Tunney even at golf over the La Gorce
course at Miami. Tunney had been
pIaying this course in from 81 to 81.
TEX had been hammering his way
around in from los to ITO. Tunney
had been nearly a stroke-a-hoie
the better when they met. But on this
day Tex happened upon one OF those
rounds that the average golfer once In
q rare while happens to fan upon
Most of his drives missed trouble. A
number of his iron shots stopped on
the green. Several short approaches
came to rest within foot or two OF
the cup. On that round he turned in
an 86 and beat Tunney, even, by 3
and 2. If any one thinks that Tex
could never get excited he should have
seen him after that match. The words
fairly tumbled out of his mouth. He de-
scribed every shot he could remember
especially the good ones: II took SO
out of him." said Tex, land did it
plaving even" His eyes were fairly
Swapping. You might have thought
it was the big moment OF his lie.
Tunney, who had been playing golf a
lot longer, had been beating him regu-
larly-and badly. To beat Tunney
