THE SPORTLIGHT
-By CRANTLAND RICE.

man doesn't waste his sweetness on
the desert air" or before empty
benches and bleachers. The sight of
a large gathering steams up his soul
and brings out the best he has.
It is for this reason that Jack Demp-
sey in one fight can still outdraw any
two fighters in a pair of shows. He
has always given them show, while
most of the others have only given
them showing up. Hagen and Ruth
have been around since 1918. Demp-
sey was swinging at chins a year later.
His start dates back to 1912 or l3,
when he was then an unknown kid. He
might take a pasting from any one Of
several heavyweights today. but at least
he would give the crowd a show, pro-
vided the other party could be enticed
within reach of left hook.
The Next Showmen?
Jour of the main showmen are get
- ting along in years. Dempsey.
Tilden, Ruth and Hagen are no longer
young entries Dempsey may be through
for good. Tilden has no more than
another year. with the odds against
him. Ruth and Hagen can't touch of
the fireworks forever. They have only
a certain distance left, since both are
around 30.
Who are to be the showmen to
take their places In sport? Bobby
Jones has been a crowd pleaser for
a long time, and at the age Of q
he still has a long way left. Max
Schemling seems to be the main
hope among the boxers, as he Is the
only one Of the lot who Is aggressive,
with a punch to throw.
The younger crop will have to wave
some magician's wand to equal crop
that produced Dempsey, Ruth, Hagen
and Tilden for one generation. Maybe
the younger crop can make good. But
the odds are against any such develop
ment taking place.
Add similies-as sore as duffer who
allows for big slice and suddenly gets
a big hook.
The best way to take the punch out
of any golf shot is to forget that after
all the club head Is the object that as
saults the ball.

BATTLE IS MARRIED
BY MUCH CL|NCH|NG
Capacity Throng of 900
at Garden Pays $111,000
for Dull Exhibition.
BY HERBERT W. BARKER.

"a YEw YORK, March 23-The
boys who pay the freight"
VI may be expected to view with
/ ill-concealed amusement any
future pugilistic encounter be-
tween well advertised sluggers.
Having understood that Jimmy Nc
Larnin and Ray Miller could hit with
the lethal power of a stick of dyna-
mite. 81 900 of the fistic faithful trust
fully paid Sill 900 to see McLarnin
outpoint the blond Chicagoan last
night in as dull a 10-round bout as
Madison Square Garden has seen In
recent months.
Miller, possibly best of the light
weight left hook punchers in the busi-
ness, stopped McLarnin in sensational
and bloody scrap at Detroit some
months ago and despite the fact that
McLarnin seems definitely to have out
grown the 135-pound division. there
was almost unprecedented interest In
their return meeting.
The crowd came to cheer a smuggling
bee; they remained to boo a none-too-
good boxing exhibition marked by as
many clinches as there were in any Of
the heavyweight eliminations of year
or so ago.
Jimmy and Ray had developed such
nealtny respect Tor each others SOCK
ing ability that each felt uneasy unless
the fighting was at close quarters where
a clean punch Is next to impossible.
For six rounds they waged safe
and-safe exhibition that had the
capacity house jeering almost con-
tinually Clinch followed clinch. The
only damage was to the fans expecta-
tions.
In the seventh round McLarnin
shifted his attack to Miller's body and
then caught the blond with a right
to the chin that dazed him. After that
1t was all clear sailing for McLarnin.
He had regained some measure of his
usual confidence and he cuffed Miller
about the ring until the finish.
In justice to the Chicagoan 1t might
be pointed out that he conceded too
many pounds and tired badly toward
the finish. He scaled 1891, McLarnin
1880.
There was little, If any. disagree
ment with the oficial decision. The
Associated Press score card gave Nc
Larnin eight rounds and Miller two,
the first and the fourth.

Always Showmen.

Always Showmen.
THREE of the greatest of all show
men in their respective sporting
trades have been Dempsey, Ruth
Il and Hagen.
And as showmen all three OF
them continue to defy time. Dempsey
after Is years of fighting. still had
enough showmanship left in his punch
to put the champion of the world on his
back and keep him there for IA seconds
Babe Ruth. after IS years of big
league base ball. still has enough show
manship left in his wallop to hit three
home runs In one game and break
about 10 records in one series.
Hagen made gallant stab for the
U. S. open Is years ago when Ouimet
halted Vardon and Ray at Brookllne
In 1918. -.
Yet Hagen's showmanship hasn't
slipped an inch at any time since. He
was supposed to be skidding rapidly last
Spring when Compston beat him by IL
up and II to play. A week later Hagen
won the British open.
In the big four ball champion
ship at Miami he was the big fash
when his side was leading a for
lorn hope. Three down and s to
play against such a combination as
Johnny. Farrell and Gene Sarazen.
about as hopeless a job against this
pair as any one could ever face,
Hagen turns and wins four of the
last six holes. He struck his most
decisive blow at the big moment OF
the match at the final hole.
All this happened with the biggest
golf crowd that ever saw a golf match
in Florida looking on. Give Hagen a
crowd and he will put on a show worth
looking at.
One of his p. G. A. opponents told
me story of a certain match he played
against Hagen. Il was up" he said,
and Hagen was slipping fast. We had
no gallery at the start. He looked care
less and discouraged. Suddenly word
went out that Hagen was being wal
loped. A big crowd caught us From
that spot on he played golf that no
one could beat. He began putting on
his show of miracle recoveries and long
puts.
Showmanship is the ability to put
on some spectacular touch when
crowd is gathered. The ideal show

L0UGHRAN WEIGHS
UNDER 178 POUNDS

CHICAGO, March % tP.-Having
convinced the most skeptical he can
make the 175-pound limit, Tommy
Loughran settled down to his training
grind again today for his light heavy
weight championship battle with Mickey
Walker.
To spike the overweight rumor
Loughran weighed himself before 1000
fans yesterday He set the scales at
178 pounds, but did not tip them at
that figure. With that, he stepped of.
leaving many guessing his weight from
173 to lit pounds.
Promoter Paddy Harmon meanwhile,
proved the fallacy of another rumor-
that the 100000 Chicago Stadium
would not be ready for the match
Thursday night. He held open house
and exhibited letters from architects
who said the vast amphitheater could
be put in readiness for the fight within
"a hours notice.
Walker was due from New York today
to begin training. He has been working
out In New Jersey.
