The senate was not in a position
to adopt a similar course, its pro-

only last Tuesday, with many men,

Indications are the farm relief bill
will consume more time in the SEN
ate than it has in the house, and
the tariff bill will not be disposed
Of in the latter chamber with the
ease and speed which has marked
the farm bill discussion there. Re-
publican leaders are considering
plans to have the tariff measure
brought before the house under spe-
cial rules designed to limit debeate,
but the democrats already have
made it clear they will oppose any
such move.

.SHARKEY BALKS
|. At MIAMI BOND

NEW YORK, Jan. 1OCUncer-
tainty over the incubating heavy
weight match between Jack Sharkey
and Young Stribling at Miami
Beach on February q WAS height
ened today by Sharkeys refusal 20

antee offered by Tex Rickard 3 few
weeks before the promoters death.
Sharkey came down from Boston
Yesterday to attend the funeral.
Neither Johnny Buckley. his man
a2er, nor his legal representative
accompanied him.
He went into a conference
with William f.. Carey. vice
president Of the Madison Square
Garden Corporations. and Col.
John S. Hammond, general man.
ager Of the Garden.
Sharkey emerged from the con
ference in a temper. To friends he
cOnfided that he had. been asked %
accept a cut in the guarantee Of
fered by Rickard. i.~
Sharkey indicated tnat he thought
this question should net have been
put to him with Richards body
lying downstairs. and that he told
the Garden mOguls he would send
his attorney to talk to them.
Rickard came to SOME sort of an
agreement with Sharkey before he
left for Miami on December 26. He
announced in Florida that, Sharkey
had accepted terms. It. was com.
monty accepted story that the Bos,
ton heavyweight had been guaran,
teed 100000.
There now seems to. be a
doubt as to whether Richard
had put his offer in contract
form before he died. Boxers
and managers were accustomed
to accepting Richards word as
his bond.
If no contracts exist or only one
man is signed, the match. is not
likely to he completed now. 1t is
only natural that the Garden cor
poration. il it assumes complete re
sponsibility, would reduce the heavy
guarantees, now that Rickard :
magic touch will he missing.
Sharkey says ne isn't anxious to
fight Stribling or Southern soil,
and won't do it unless the, price
he and Richard agreed on, is paid.

at center and guard. will be as

Dempsey to Give Answer
To Big Query Today
By Davis ], Walsh

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-Wel into the afternoon hours of
this day, Jack Dempsey is scheduled to issue his famous
wi I WON'T concerning the matter of his
return boxing.
The Washington times., 1929-01-10

In brief, he has promised to give
his answer to the question that has
beset and Confounded all boxing
since Richards untimely death and
the funny thing about this is that
unless | have been misinformed,
Dempsey didn't know the answer
himself last night.
In any case. he seemed unable to
make a decision in talking the MAJ
ter over with the man who is to
issue his statement for him. The
natural query is, why issue a state
ment at all unless he knows what
he is talking about?
When in doubt, say nothing,
Is a good rule for all men who
find themselves in a tight spot
and it is admitted that Demp-
Sey's position is not without
some slight discomfort.
But he seems obsessed with the
idea that he must crate at this time
and so he may say yes" and he
may say no" and, for all anyone
knows. he may succeed in. saying
neither, which would be passing
smart under the circumstances.
1t appears to be an established
fact in quite few minds that
Dempsey's come back ended the
morning Rickard died but, as to
that. there are a dozen different
guesses covering the general situa-
ton. Mine happens to be that, If
Dempsey announces a permanent e
tirement today, he will be making a
real mistake. There is an old, old
chestnut having to do with the eX
pedience of crossing a bridge only
when you come to it and l should
say that it covers this case like
mortgage.
Announcement of his intention to
fight for the heavyweight title, on
the other hand, would come most
appropriately at this time, as it
wuold have the effect of stabiliZing
an industry which has become some.
what skittish under the disconcert-
ing blow of Richards passing. Com
ing on top of this event, an adverse
statement by Dempsey now would
be a crowning disaster. He is the
lone remaining 'convincer,' with
Rickard dead and Tunney retired. Ii
he bows himself out permanently
today it will be emotionalism speak
ing. not Judgment.
doubt very much il he really
knows whether the Garden cor
pOratiOn is willing to stand be-
hind Richards offer to him.
1t is to be doubted if he has given
a well-considered thought to the in.
vestments he has made at Miami
Beach and others he still may make
there. 1t is understood that, in ad-
dition to the dog track and other
ventures he started with Rickard
there, he is of a mind to carry
through deal for the purchase of
hotel at the winter resort.
Perhaps he thinks he will be TOO
occupied with these various enter
prises, including his aid in the pro-
motion Of the Sharkey-Stribh1g
fight next month, TO take up the
business of fighting. All that can
be said about this is that the sue
cess of the Sharlley Stribling fight
is associated with the success of
his other ventures and that. ob-
viously, he will do the Sharkey
Stiibling fight very little good by
declaring himself out of the heavy
weight stakes.
