MULLEN STALLS
ON TAXES

CHICAGO, May Chicago box
ing fans today were wondering who
would win the Uncle Sam.Jim Null
len tax bout. II bobbed up as an
unscheduled preliminary to the
Sammy Mandell-Kid Kaplan match,
set for tomorrow night.
Tuesday Internal Revenue agents
took possession of Promoter Mullens
gymnasium box office and ticket
sales to the fight. The Government
men claim Mullen still owes $4,000
tax on his last four boxing shows.
Not to be outsmarted by the col.
lectors, Mullen decided there wasn't
$4,000 In sight and promptly called
the fight off. Mullen claims most
OF the huge sum charged against
him represents penalties assessed
for delayed payment.
The promoter. fntimated that If
the Government would compromise
with him he> might 60 on with the
show. It was admittedly Uncle
Sam 8 next move.

When the Washington Griffmen
get together with those mauling
New York Yankees in their Decora-
ton doubleheader at the Georgia
Avenue ball yard Hadley, along with
Garland Braxton, will represent the
home guard on the mound.
Having been lifted in every ap-
pearance to date, Bump need enter
tain no such fears today. What
ever the results, Manager Walter
Johnson intends having him stick
it out.
"Hadley needs the work in the
first place." he explains, and
again I believe that finishing a ball
game will do him good. Above
everything else Bump wants con.
fidence right now and this system
may help him along.
I'D give q whole lot to see
him get by the fifth I'm good
shape. That inning has got him
scared and II he ever pulls him.
self together and bFeexes past
Z it the chances are that he'll
get off to q winning streak"
johnson is convinced that by
using psychology much can be done
toward turning Hadley in the right
direction, and for that reason, il no
other, he has decided to let the big
bow battle it out with his nemesis.
Braxton, whose screwball stuff
tanned his former team mates in the
big town recently, will be shooting
for his sixth verdict of the season.
The lean screwballer has been the
only big winner on his clubs staff
and much reliance is being placed
in him to make good again today.
II always look forward to a crack
at those birds" he remarked after
yesterdays exhibition. II guess it's
human nature to try and make the
other guy feel sorry for letting you
go and every chance get to show
UP the Yankees is sweet revenge
to me!'
Tied up in their games SO far
with three wins and as many
losses, the Griffs and Yankees
likely will produce some real
battling in the bargain bill start
ing at 1850 o'clock.
Striving manfully to overhaul the
flying Philadelphia Athletics. the
1928 American League champions
are overlooking no bets and may be
counted on to give their best in an
effort TO score twice.

separate threats were made over
the telephone on the life Of Jack
Dempsey while he was guest at
the home of his wife's mother, in
Wilmington, Del. These warnings
that he would be slain are attribu-
ted by the former champion to his
recent split with Humbert Fugazy,
the Brooklyn promoter, who was to
back Dempsey in plan to conduct
open.air boxing in New York.
Two of these calls came from
Chicago, several from Philadelphia,
one from Detroit, several from
New York-in fact, the boxing CEN
tiers Of the East and middle West
seemed to have been girdled by
these calls.
Dempsey was SO wrought

After luncheon, at the Penn A. c. the
former champion was driven to Della

After dinner young Dougherty

Dempsey made no attempt to con.
