This was declared to be virtually
inevitable today as the Garden cor
poration was making formal an
nouncement, through William F.
Carey, that 1t had decided what
everybody already seemed to know
that it didn't need Dempsey except
as a fighter. According to Demp-
sey's friends here, it hasn't taken
him long to decide that he doesn't
need the Garden corporation in either
or any capacity and that, with the
aid of horse racing in Michigan. ne
plans to make Detroit on arch-com-
petitor of New York for the distinc-
ton of being the sport capital OF
America.
Dempsey's tentative plans for the
Detroit setting include:
The beating OF the Garden out
fit to a McLarnin-Ray Miller re-
play and, failing In this, an at.
tempt to get Joe Dundee for Nc
LarniR in q welterweight title
fight.
A light heavyweight championship
fight coupling Tommy Loughran
with Lomski, providing Loughran
gets by Mickey Walker in Chicago
this month.
A bantamweight championship
fight featuring Kid Chocolate Gu
ban.
Dempsey is supposed to arrive in
New York some time before the eno
of the week, at which time ne
| probably will declare himself deli
nitely on his plans fol the immedi'
ate future. He might even give
one of those will interviews about
fighting again, but if he does, the
betting is even that it will be fol
lowed by form requisition B, entitled
l won't. In this way he remains
right whatever happens, and, at the
same time, he. preserves signEl'
canoe he might otherwise lack.
Floyd FitZsimmons says that he
and Dempsey have an option on
Navin Field in Detroit, and can pu'
on title fights in all divisions
meaning that they realize the Garden
outfit has the heavyweight situa
| ton in close custody. The only
! way Dempsey can break that mo
\ nopoly is to declare himself in on
the heavyweight tournament and
whatever his intentions in this con
nection were before Rickard died
it seems to be generally admitted
that John now considers himself
too smart to be mixed up with any
thing so undignified.
He told one man recently i'm
Miami Beach that nothing less
than a million dollars-$5OO, 600
on the line and the rest in per.
eentage-wOuId make him even
contemplate the thing.
The only way, in fact. that he
might get away with critical money
like that would be to promote his
own fight at Windsor, Ontario
across from Detroit and thus take
the rap off the 25 per cent govern
ment tax that prevails here.
Carey, on the other hand, says
that il Dempsey fights, the money
will mean nothing; that he will
fight only If he believes he can win

NAVY ATHLETES
FACE BIC DAY

ANNAPOLIS, March 6.--A large
programme of sports, made UP Of
seven varsity and six plebe con-
tests, will be presented at the
Naval Academy next Saturday, the
last big day of the winter sports
season.
The programme will be an
interesting and varied one, with
matches i'm every winter branch
i'm which the Naval Academy
participates except basketball,
the season for which has closed
locally.
AS the Naval Academy teams
practically won the leadership in
boxing last Saturday by defeating
Pennsylvania State and in water
polo by winning from Yale, the
gymnastic championship is eX.
pected to turn on the result of
the match with Dartmouth. one Of
the events of the coming Saturday.
After its decisive victories over
Princeton ana Pennsylvania last
Saturday, the Navy feels that 1t
has a good chance of recovering
the leadership in this branch, which
1t held for twelve consecutive
seasons, until downed by Dartmouth
last year.
Another big event is the wrest-
ling match against Princeton. The
Navy has only done fairly we'll in
this sport, and is anxious to close
its season by victory over the
Tigers.
The boxing match against
Syracuse is the only event for
the evening. Syracuse is an
old opponent of the Naval
Academy in this sport. but is
not regarded as dangerous this
year. ~
Columbia will send it's swimming
and water-polo teams to the Naval
Academy, and the varsity pro.
gramme will be completed with a
fencing match against Harvard and
an indoor rifle match against
George Washington University.

WALKER { Y { s
HEAVY CROWN

NEW YORK, March 6.-Seme of
Mickey Walkers plans and ambi-
tions came to light today when Jack
Kearns, back in New York after a
long absence in California, nemi-
mated Mick for the next heavy
weight champion.
At present Walker is only the
mfddleweight champion and not
working at it, although he has
been matched to fight Ace Hudkins
next summer either in Los Vegas,
New, or somewhere in California.
He expects to bridge the gap
between the middleweight and
heavyweight divisions by snitch-
ing the light.heavyweight title
from Thomas LOughran in Chi =.
cagO late this month.
walker and Loughran will open
the new Chicago stadium with To-
round title bout on March 2S," said
Kearns. Mickey is to get $50.000
If he fails to grab Tommy's title,
but only $4,000 if he wins.
These terms suit me because can
look ahead and see my boy heavy
weight champion. The Chicago
Stadium people have taken options
on both Walker and Loughran to
fight Dempsey or ,Sharkey. Mickey
is a sure shot to knock out Lough-
ran. He will weight about 167
pounds for Loughran and boy. what
a sweet fighter and hitter he is at
that weight. n
81 don't think either Dempsey
or Sharkey will ever fool around
with Tommy, because he is too
fast for them. But they may like
Walker better because lie will
walk i'm and fight. What battle
he and Dempsey would make!
And what a spot for me if
Mickey tagged the old champ on
the whiskers! I'd be even for
everything Dempsey owes me-"
Kearns thinks Walker Is good
enough to hold the three heaviest
titles concurrently.
He can drop back to $50 pounds
next summer" explained the dapper
doctor "for he takes off weight bet
ter in warm weather. ! won't leave
the middleweight title on anybodys
doorstep as a gift, even if Mickey
beats Loughran. If he gets to be
heavyweight champion don't think
he'll care to make weight any more"
