GODFREY UzCUDUN GO
PLANS ABANDONED

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 22.-Meeting
opposition from Jack Dempsey, the
Madison Square Garden Corporation
has abandoned its efforts to match
George Godfrey, the current "black
menace" with Pauline Uzcudun. at
Havana, February 10.
Dempsey, now in Miami Beach, Fla,
arranging the setting for the Sharkey-
Stribling match there on February 81,
wired Garden officials that the proposed
Havana fight would interfere seriously
with his Miami Beach plans.
AS a matter Of fact, Dempsey's eX-
preston of disapproval might not have
been needed. The Garden found itself
confronted with many matchmaking
difficulties in connection with the Sug-
gested Havana extravaganza. Godfrey,
more or less summed by the heavy
weights, was quite ready to sign for
the match, but Pauline was quite coy
about the matter.
Perhaps remembering the decision he
dropped to the giant Negro on the
Pacific Coast last year, the Spaniard,
through his board of strategy, declined
rather emphatically to have anything
more to do with Godfrey, at least at the
present time.
Pauline is more or less definitely as
sured of at least one of the big "shots'
to be staged during the Summer and he
could see no reason why he should
f. jeopardize that opportunity.
The Garden discussed several possible
substitute matches without getting much
of anywhere. Dempseys protest put
the final quietus on the Havana affair
| at least until after the Stribling-
Sharkey match is out of the way.

contact five days a week for six weeks.
Then the mental side with its problems
and its completes. The games in ac-
tuality are the easiest part of the foot
ball season. There undoubtedly are
many star players who willingly would
quit the game were it not for pride and
a sense of duty to their colleges. Foot
ball, hard game, has become much
harder in this age of hard schedules,
fierce competition and great stadia.

aged one way and another to do pretty
well.
A Helpful Change-at Last.
Gene Sarazen began experimenting
with his swing shortly after he won the
open at Skokie back in 1922 The ex-
perimenting process broke up the old
groove he had working and by 1924 he
was struggling and struggling. 1t was
not until last year that he began to
feel again that he was developing the
old SteadineSS he had lost and he was
confident when he started South this
Winter that he would be in for one of
his best years. Things seem to have
started we'll enough, at any rate. He
opened the young season by winning
the first two Florida tournaments at
Miami and Miami Beach, and Johnny
Farrell, the open champion, was among
those present on both occasions.
Sarazen will make a desperate effort
to grab back some of the old spotlight
this Summer at Winged Foot in the
next open. The only trouble here is
that at least 10 or IL are good enough
to win and the one who does has to
beat Bobby Jones. To say nothing of
Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen and
Johnny Farrell.
Mac Smiths hold-over victory in the
Los Angeles $4,000 open is further
proof that the veteran hasn't slipped
a half inch. He still is one of the
great golfers of the game-and that
means one of the greatest of all time.
Smith is true swinger-not hitter
and this even applies to his irons. He
seems to start the clubhead on its way
and then let gravity take its course.
Smith has deserved more than one
open championship, but the fate of the
game has been against him. He tied
for the top just 20 years ago, but never
has been as close since He still has
his chance, but he can't afford to let
many more years slip away before
getting there.

BOSTON. January 22.-Notwith-
standing the furore over graft charges,
big league base ball in Boston Sundays
seemed today to be assured.
John F. Dowd, chairman of spe-
cial City Council committee considering
the Braves application, announced that
the committee favored the issuance of
the permit. Another application would
have to be filed, however, he said.
The Boston Finance Commission,
which has been investigating charges
by Emil E. Fuchs, president of the
Braves, and by Charles Francis Adams,
vice president, that Is members of the
City Council sought bride OF $4,000
each to insure early acceptance of the
Sunday sports act in this city, will
resume its public hearings tomorrow.
Adams was asked to appear today
before State Attorney General Warner
for examination in regard to a fund
raised to promote adoption of Sunday
sports by a Statewide referendum.

Though Fuchs has given 1t no thought

will be holding down third base with
Rabbit on his left at short when the
season starts.
Freddy Mcguire. who came from the
Cubs in the HornSby deal, is the logical
choice for second base. and George

Buffalo in the left garden. Fuchs also
has retained Eddie Moore. Jack Smith

The veterans are Ed Brandt. Ben
