RING ROW
REEKS OF POLITICS
Prehn, 0usted Chairman of
Board, Defended as a
Booster of Boxing.
BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

n YEW YORK, August 19.-The
M summary ousting of the Illinois
Y Boxing Commission headed by
Paul Prehn, smacks Of politics
and 1t may, not be the tonic
Gov. Emmerson thinks the boxing game
needs to retsore it to the healthy condi-
ton the game deserves.
The requirements, Messrs. J. v. Clin-
min, George Getz and Fred Gardiner,
business men of the highest standing,
may not find the time to devote to the
many and perplexing questions bound
to arise. The sport Is on trial and 1t
Is hoped that things quiet down so
that Gov. Emmerson will not have cause
to go before the Legislature and ask
for the repeal of the law.
That Ticket Situation.
Mr.. Prehn, Mr.. Mann and Mr.. Luzzo
were asked to resign soon after a pub
lished report that large quantity Of
tickets for the Sammy Mandell-T
CanZoneri contest were demanded by
them. The report would have one be-
lieve that the ruling trio used their Of
fees to corner the choicest seats. Mr..
Prehn vehemently denies this and sub
mits figures to prove his statement. Out
Of $50 tickets secured only AZ were in
the first 10 rows, 1873 in the first 20
rows adjacent to the ring and the re-
mainder were scattered throughout the
house and could not be classed as bet
ter than ordinary locations.
Furthermore, these tickets were all
paid for. Not a penny was made from
the sale of these tickets, which were
for the many friends and politicians
one usually expects to demand choice
seats at all big gatherings.
Mr.. Prehn leaves with bad taste in
his mouth. He cannot very well be
blamed for that. Had he been asked to
resign without false report circulated
throughout the country, he would have
willingly done so. Prehn had the best
interests of the game at heart and has
worked increasingly to ferret out the
bad element in the game and place the
sport on the high plane that 1t de-
serves.
Accomplished Much Good.
Working without remuneration anG
taking the bad with the good, Prehn
has accomplished more good for the
game than any other one person the
writer knows Of throughout the coun-
try.
AS president Of the National Boxing
Association, another payless job, Mr.
Prehn made that body a forceful factor
in the sports world. Twenty-six States
and practically every foreign country
in which boxing is permitted are mem
bers Of the N. B. A. Prehn has not
given up his Office and will continue to
function as the N. B. A. head until the
next convention, which will be held at
the Hotel Morrison. at Chicago. Sep
49, AS.xl.k
problems will be discussed and new
rules promulgated. New officers will
be elected and the chances are that Mr..
Prehn will be elected for another term.

wv YIN, lose or draw, the New York
NA/ Yankees, 50 long as Babe
wv Ruth is able to toddle up to
v the plate, are dangerous. In
a single series. even now
they probably are the toughest CLUB
in base ball. no matter where they nap
pen to be In the standing OF the teams.
Recently, while the Athletics were
coasting along with around 10-game
lead, / asked Connie Mack, what he
feared most, II anything. One might
have expected the old master to say
something about his own club going
stale, with so big margin to work on
But he replied:
"The Yankees. We can't ever be too
far ahead Of them to suit me. They
have slipped, possibly, but they are al
ways DANGEROUS. Our club has more
than held its own against the cham
pions this year, but not by any wide
margin. Confident as I am OF our
club, I would feel none too easy II the
pennant hinged on the outcome OF a
single series between the Athletics and
the Yankees.
THERE were some hopes earlier in
the year that Jack Dempsey would
yield to the old call and have one more
fling with the gloves, but the retirement
of the Man Mauler now seems as perma-
nent as that of Tunney.
Dempsey has yet to find the steady
lob as q promoter that he hoped to
land after his successful venture with
Madison Square Garden in Miami
Beach last February Failing In that
and of the type always anxious for
action, Jack may yet be brought back
to the ring by financial inducements.
It Is now six years since Dempsey,
in his last title success, beat on the
Wild Bull of the Pampas, Luis Firpo,
at the Polo Grounds. Firpo, like
Dempsey, cannot forget the ring and
talks now and then Of q comeback.
Firpo proved q business man as well
as fighter when here. He has become
rich in his homeland. His friends say
he Is q millionaire, whether the figures
are in dollars or pesos. He has made
more money outside Of the ring than
any other boxer.
UEIRPO, he was great slugger, but
Dempsey, he was terrible" So
says Alfredo Porto, one-time Argen-
tine Olympic boxer, who wound up a
short professional career after serving
as q sparring mate for Dempsey when
the latter prepared for his first fight
with Tunney in 1925.
Porzio, now managing q stable OF
Argentine boxers in the United States,
regards Dempsey as the hardest hitter
of them all. He absorbed enough
Dempsey wallops to know something
about it and still bears a scar left by
the crushing impact of one Of the old
mauler'S short left hooks to the chin.

US GRID
OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT
California Also Has Good
Prospects-BagshaW Fac
ing Task at Washington.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

w WITHOUT any such NONSENSE
IA cal formality as reading the
NM stars, the writer is ready to
affirm that both Stanford and
California will be stronger
and generally more proficient teams this
yea: than last.
Warner worked lot last year with a
young secondary backheld, training
them in the new formations he will
willing and the country will be hearing
lot about the four rough riders be-
fore November is well established.
Hoffman will be gone, but his departure
will be accounted for by a better and
brighter backfleld bunch than played
in 1928.
California is going to have one back
who certainly will command attention
Moose Clarity. transfer, who has
everything back there at fullback.
Only three regulars have been lost by
graduation, Phillips. Bancroft and
FriZt. And what with some exceptional
men coming up from last years fresh
man outfit and line regulars remaining,
such as Reigels, Schwartz. Gill and
Avery, the Bears should be able to pre-
sent as stalwart a defense as anywhere
in the country, while building up a
more biting attack than obtained last
year.
In the backfeld there will be LON.
EiSan, Schlicting, Barr and several
other ball carriers around whom an Of
tense of merit should be built, while the
hard hitting Charley Schmidt also may
come out.
Washington, with Ernie Bagshaw at
e. 4 I.o
poor coach that they were all wrong,
does not. as matter of fact, look too
good. The Huskies' cycle of supremacy
experienced reverse twist when that
great Everett High School crowd which
came down to Seattle six years ago
went out into the wide, wide world.
With such men as George and Pat
Wilson, the TeSreaus, Brix, George
Carroll and other Everett stars hang
ing around, Bagshaw had a lot of
spark on the backfield and success
they have gone and their places seem to
be lily filled.
But as generally happens when an
important university has foot ball stars
who have clinched all positions other
good men go elsewhere, and so in the
case under consideration men who
might be valuable at Washington now
are at California and Washington State.
Washington's chances depend upon
Bagshaw's ability as developer rather
than q coach who can take a good play
err and find the position in which he
best functions.
Idaho will not have much. It will
be Leo Calland's first year and he will
be building for 1890. Washington
State lost a lot of good men, but has
some promising material from the fresh
man team. Montana Is nil as to pros
poets. oregon looks very promising in
the way of material-much better than
here great rival Oregan State, where the
losses have been many. University Of
California, at Los Angeles, is not too
promising.
