By Jack Dempsey

Playing it safe isn't the way
to success.
, Nobody ever got anywhere
in particular who didn't take
a chance.
Those who risk little, gain
little,
All of which is a lead-up to saying
that the ring today is rather shy on
spectacular performers mainly be-
cause the boys seem to be playing II
safe.
I can't-and won't believe-that
the fighters of today lack the
punching power of the fellows OF my
earlier DAYS. But l do believe they
park their real hitting power because
they figure if they let go and miss
they'll be popped on the chin. 80

when the last round is over. they
have accomplished their chief pur'
pose.
And that is to remain on their feet
to the end.
Every knockout man scores

a fellow Just coasts along, or
taps and clinches his way to the
end. he loses i'm drawing power.
But most of the boys will coast

put the other fellow to sleep. can
call by name at least 20 present-day
fighters with mighty knockout
wallop who could go whizzing
through their ranks like a load or
dynamite-if they just would take
q chance.
Yet they won't. The fear of get
ting tapped on the whiskers holds
them back and so, instead of being
sensational performers and ire
mendous magnets, the mention of
their names just causes fans to
yawn.
It is the general conclusion that

cause the fans are fed up" with
fights. They are just fed up" with
those handling, hauling, mauling or
dancing affairs that are miscalled
"fistic contests"
About the only way out Of
the present mess is a way that
isn't possible. And that would
be to put on some finish bouts
for a while. That would cure
the boys of coasting and hug

KEARNS SEEKS
NEW DEMPSEY

Ever since Jack Kearns lost Jack
Dempsey he has been looking for a
heavyweight that would stand up.
From all accounts the good Doc
tor" has stumbled over a pretty
fair performer in Al Fay, a young
ster who has won every one of six
professional starts.
In his third bow as heavy
weight he knocked our own George
Hoffman, the lad who gave Tom
Heeney such I hard battle the
night Jack Sharkey dumped Tommy
umph was a decision victory over
Babe Hunt, the terror of Tulsa,
Okla.
Fay dropped Hunt three times
In the first three rounds, but
failed to finish his man. He
can't be Dempsey.
1t isn't in the cards that Kearns
can produce another Dempsey no
matter how hard he tries to dig one
up. Only one Dempsey comes along
in a life time though Kearns would
have you believe that he will have
a halter on half a dozen Dempseys
before he Is through with boxing.
1t took Kearns nearly ten years
to bring Dempsey to the point where
he could demand a kings ransom
for his appearance with Carpenter,
Firpo and the, others. When the
two big shots with Tunney came
along, Kearns was left out in the
cold though 1t Is safe to say that
doc" would have received twice
the amounts Dempsey did on both
occasions had he been in command.
There never was anything of the
piker about Kearns when it came to
demanding a price for this war
horse. He would have asked for
million for Dempsey in the Chicago
fight and gotten it. for without
Dempsey, Richard wouldn't have

ties, are cooperating willingly, accord
ing to Mr.. Mitchell.
Fraud on nthe air can only be curbed
by the management of broadcasting
stations, although it is within the prov
ince of the Federal Radio Commission
to inquire into the character Of the
type of advertising broadcast when a
station seeks a renewal of license.
Neither the postal laws nor any State
laws can be invoked against promoters
of questionable enterprises who use the
radio. Even the Federal Radio Com
missions authority is vague, for it rests
wholly upon the section Of the radio
act which empowers it to determine
whether a station is operating "in the
public interest, convenience or neces-
sity."
The inadequacy of the laws efforts
to keep pace with radios progress Is evil
denced further by the fact that libel
and SANDER uttered on the radio cannot
be prosecuted under existing statutes,
in the opinion of some lawyers.
Only occasional complaints have been
registered with local stations or with
branch bureaus against advertisers
charged with violating the ethics Of
good business practice on the radio, ac-
cording to a paper prepared by Mr..
Mitchell for presentation before the
annual conference this week of the Bet
ter Business Bureau at San Diego, Calf.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-10

The majority Of the complaints, when
referred to the stations, led to the i'm
mediate deletion OF the questionable ma
terial. Quite frequently the stations
themselves have asked bureaus to inves-
tigate Arms seeking to buy time.
Serious abuses have been reported
only sporadically, although Mr.. Mitchell
warns that get-rich-quick schemers,
quack doctors, patent medicine and fat
reducing takers, questionable real estate
concerns and promoters OF all manner
Of shady propositions are casting COW
teous eyes on the radio"
Eleven bureau managers, replying to

TINE Cubs of 1929 are not going to
win 116 ball games, but they
nevertheless retain a chance to
Il equal or improve upon another
feat performed by their illus
trious predecessors of % years ago.
The Cubs of the late Frank Leroy
Chance, in 1906, not only won 116 vic
tories, but rested 20 games ahead of
the runner-up Giants at the finish.
This mark, second only to Pittsburgh's
27Ia-game victory over Brooklyn in
1902. remains in danger before the rush
of Joe McCarthy's fast-fying team.
After cutting the Reds again yester-
day by to /, as the Pirates curtsied
humbly before the Phillies by to 4,
the Cubs rested 14l2 games to the
good. eager to increase the edge in the
five-game series which opens at Pitts
burgh today with a double-header. No
other team in the National League has
enjoyed such lead at this stage Of
the race since the earlier Cubs of
Chance ran wild in 1906. No other
team in the league has had such an
edge at any point along the trail since
John McGraw's 1912 champions piled
up a large early margin only to see 1t
wither.

A continuation through the stretch
of the results of the last five weeks
could give the Cubs an ultimate lead
of 20 games or more and most likely
would land them in the 700 class.

Despite cool breezes blowing in from
the lake, $4,000 fans visited Wrigley
field yesterday to see the Bruins make
1t three out of four from the Reds.
Sheriff Fred Blake found the chill wind
no handicap, limiting the visitors to six
safe blows. Curtiss Walkers homer in
the fourth gave the Reds their only
run. Rogers Hornsby directed the at
tack against LuQue and Donohue with
three singles and a double, and figured
in every scoring rally.
The triumph of the Phillies was the
second major league victory of Young
