TUNNEY, DEMPSEY
AND TEX MISSED
No One Has Come to Front
to Take Place of Any
of These Men.
BY ALAN J. GOULD.
Associated Press Sports Editor.

- OMEWHAT less than two years
ago the three dominating figures
in boxing-or, to be more specific,
~ in the heavyweight sphere OF
action-were two men who made
the big money with their fists, Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney, and one
who profited through his skill as the
big promoter and ballyhoo man, Tex
Rickard.
Tunney has retired permanently,
Dempsey Is in temporary but probably
also definite retirement and Rickard is
dead. Without q champion, without
the old Man Mauler and without the
master mind Of the old Klondike gam
bier, the heavyweight division is in the
same predicanent as the small town
reporter assigned to cover the big fire
and who wired back: "All is chaos, can
learn nothing"
Promoting No Sinecure.
All is chaos in the heavyweight class
Even big Bill" Carey, Richards sue
Square Garden, has found that the
boxing racket" can be much more
complicated than building railroads in
China.
The big aim since Tunney'S retire.
ment has been to set up a new cham
pion, but it has missed fire altogether
The Muldoon-Tunney Trophy, unveiled
with all due solen1nity, has no claimant.
The so-called Examinations" usually
have either added to the confusion or
resulted in the elimination Of both
fighters involved.
Jack Sharkey, the big Boston sailor,
has fozzled more good chances to step
up the ladder than any one else. For
every good fight he has put on Sharkey
has tossed in at least one other bad
one. Max Schmeling. the German
puncher, seemed q potential big shot"
until he tied himself up with o flock
OF contracts and managers.
Loughran = Contender.
Before any one establishes an undis-
puted claim TO the heavyweight scepter
he must dispose Of Tommy Loughran,
the eminent Philadelphia jab and
dance man. Tommy packs little, If any,
real dynamite in either fist, unfortu-
nately, but it is at least an even money
proposition that he would make 1t ex-
tremely interesting for Sharkey,
Schmeling or any other heavyweight
Now that he has forsaken the light
heavyweight division, over which he es-
tablished complete mastery. Loughran
may get the big chance he has been
seeking.

8-Letter Name for Yachts

Some Of the owners Of boats
which will contend for the right to
represent America In the Americas
Cup races may have diff1culty in
finding a name for their boats.
Tradition seems to have estab-
lished the fact that there must be
eight letters in the defenders name
and also that the name itself must
be symbolical of stern determination
to hold what we already possess.
Thus the names of some of the

call on the gentleman who furnishes
the names for Pullman cars to set

l. Helen Wills will give up champion
ship tennis after this summer-and
that Bobby Jones will retire from tour
nament golf after next Summer.
You can discount both reports. They
may turn out to be true, but the human
psychology doesn't point that way.
When one Is the best In the world at
a certain thing 1t isn't easy to quit
that line of enterprise and become
merely one among many. There are
times when every champion gets sick Of
his or her game for the time being and
yearns for rest from the strain and
struggle of modern competition. Ball
players in October will often tell you
they are through, but these are usually
the first to catch the train for Spring
training.
Helen Wills and Bobby Jones are
among the champions who stand above
other champions. Tennis and golf
have given them thrills that few can
know from sport. Joyce Wethered re-

back. Either Helen Wills or Bobby
Jones might retire for season, but II

The other is that It is quite doubtful
