JACK DEMPSEY URGES
 NAMING BOXING GEAR
Former Heavyweight Champion Be- 1ieyes Commissioner Would
 Straighten Out Game

Chicago, April 1e Gp - Jack Dempsey, promoter, is advocating boxing czar."
 What boxing needs to save it from decline is a supreme head. man of action and power like Lan- dis is in baseball" Dempsey said. To-day, there are too many con- trolling boxing organizations and none is in agreement with the other it seems.
 These bodies should get together There is much to be done and supreme head, with power enough to make final decisions, could lift the game up to q higher standard"
 Paul Prehn, chairman of the H. linois state athletic commission and president of the National Boxing as- sociation agreed with the sugges- ton.
 "A good man with the power 10 carry out his ideas would be a great asset to the ring" Prehn said. ''To- day. there is too much difference in opinion. The various boxing or ganizations should get together, form a compact organization and work in harmony for the good of the game"

THINKS STANFORD
 WILL WIN AGAIN
New York U. Track Coach Says
 No Eastern Team Can Win

New York. April 12 R-Take il straight from Emil Won Filing coach of New York University's in- door intercollegiate track and field team. not an eastern outfit has 2 chance to check the drive of Stan ford for another outdoor title next month at Philadelphia. The canny little mentor. whose runners sprang a big surprise by gaining the board floor supremacy is no Gil Dobie. but he entertains no illusions about the chances of stopping Stanford's great array of field talent luminaries.
 No" he said emphatically. there seems to be no hope of adding the outdoor I. C. A. A. A. A. champion ship. Stanford has almost the same team it brought east last year and should be fully as strong.
 We may be better in the running events. Stanford never has done much in them. little in the hurdles is about all. but with men like krenz, Rethert and King they haven't had to-"
 They are modest here at N. Y. U. and quick 10 tell you that the indoor championship victory. the first in the institutions history. came partly because the Violet and athletes are at their best on the boards.
 There is Sol Furth. for instance" pointesd out Won Filing. He was big scorer for us indoors but he cannot go the longer outdoor route over the hurdles at the same speed"
 Although the impression given is that the Violet will be much weaker than it was last winter. the team has partly made up for this by the ad- vent of a trio of Chick Meehan's football men. all of them heavy. fast and husky. T have the whole center of the line" Non Filing said with grin.
 Schneider. the center, throws the discuss and puts the shot. sargis- son. guard. is good shot butter, and Dave Myers, the fast striding Negro. who has a running guard as- slS IlHleIll, lIldy turn Oul lO Dc pollt winner in the shorter runs as well as in the field events in which he dabbles in everything from pole vault 10 hammer throw.
 Incidentally the football talent that flattened everything last fall except Georgetown and the amazing Oregon Aggie team. is bolstering still other squads in the off season.
 While the heart of the line is out for track. Four of the backs are on the baseball squad. Ken Strong. the scoring sensation of last fall, is a hard hitting outfielder. Arthur Roberts. steady third baseman. Beryl Follett. a pitcher and Al Gau- det, a utility infielder.
 In the basketball season just past. Jerry Nemeck. star end. put his ballhawk proclivities to good use as one of the most valuable men on the quintet which proved to be the only team able to conquer Fordham.

CORBlN SCREW QUINTET
 OUT OF TITLE TOURNEY
New Britain Industrial League Champions Bow to Condo Mast Team in Second Game of Series, g to l6- Stamford Crew Took Long End in Both Games Locals Appeared to Be in Continuous Slump Opposition Starts Spurt That Brings Victory.

The Corbin Screw basketball team was definitely eliminated from the race for the state industrial title in Stamford last night when the Condo Mast quintet of Greenwich. Stam- ford's champion. won the second of a home and home series, 23 to 16. Since Waterbury eliminated New Haven the Stamford and Waterbury champs will battle in the first game of the series in Waterbury on Tues day.
 New Britain's champs were guests of honor at double surprise party this week when they were taken into camp twice by the same Stam- ford team. Last Tuesday Stamford emerged with one-point advantage in a 34 to B score and last night the Lock City champs scored seven more points than the Hardware City five and gained sufficient margin in points to pass the semi final round.
 Corbin Screw which had been de- feated only once in IS starts seem- ed to be off form in every game in the post season series. In both Hartford games the team was not up to it's stuff despite the fact that it won and last Tuesday the team showed little in the way of organi- zation.
 The sensational scoring spurts of the Stamford team were too much for the New Britain quintet. In the first quarter the Condo Mast team began a streak which gave it nine points. During this period New Britain scored only three, a field goal by Arburr, 30 seconds after the game started, and fourth goal by Luke eight minutes later.
 A complete reversal of form was shown in the second quarter when the Screw Shop defense held it's r,- Nals scoreless while the of1ense over came the lead and established 10 to 9 advantage at half time.
 Just when things started to look rosy the Stanford five started an- other of it's famous spurts and gain ed the advantage needed to win the game. During this period four of the Greenwich team contributed freely to the score and when the period ended it was 21 to 12 in favor of the home team. Although the New Britain team outscored its rivals four to two in the last quar- ter the third quarter spurt settled the game definitely for the Condo Mast outfit.
 Hank" Arburr's all-around play, as usual, was the big feature of the New Britain teams exhibition. PultZ. the rangy center of the Condo Mast team, was the best bet for the win ners.

PIE FIRST EDITION
 IS WORTH s20,O00
Only Six Copies Known to
 American Book Collectors

Chicago, April 12 Pp-The dream of many a book collector is that some day, somewhere. he will come upon that gem of the American book world-Edgar Allan Poe's first slender collection of verse.
 There will be s20.0oO or more in it for the lucky bibliophile who adds one more volume to the six known copies of Americas rarest and most valuable first edition.
 That $20.00O will represent an increase in value something like S,000,000 per cent over first known resale price of the book, a shilling. that amount having placed the first discovered copy in the British museum.
 Interest in Poe's first production. "Tamerlane and Other Poems. by Bostonian," has been revived by the recent acquisition by J. K. Lilly. covered sixth copy of the work.
 For this slender booklet of only 40 pages Lily paid Boston book seller more than $20.000. This set a high price for "Tamerlane" and also a top price for an American first edition. Lily is vice president of Eli Lilly & company.
 In 1925 the fifth copy, then re- gently discovered, was sold to Owen D. Young of New York for approxi- mately S15,000.
 Of the other four copies, one is in the British museum. another is in the Henry F. Huntington library and museum at San Gabriel, Cal, the third is in the library of Frank B. Bemis of Boston, and the fourth in the collection of w. A. Clark of New York and California.
 At least one of these copies was reported to have been picked up in a bookslleer's bin of plugs" for a few cents. The copy in the British museum was sent by Henry Stephens of Vermont many years ago.. He probably did not know it's value, or even that it was a work of Poe's as the authors name is not on the title page. Stephens received a shilling for the book
 "Tamerlane" was printed in Bos- ton in 1927 by Calvin F. s. Thomas Poe was IS at the time. The edi- ton was believed to have been not more than 40 or 50 copies. Two went to reviewers, and Poe likely purchased a few.
 The bulk of the edition probably remained on the printers hands. Poe afterward said the edition was suppressed for private reasons"

The king is dead, long live the king" may we'll be adapted to thls column today following the an- nouncement by Manager John Tobi1 of the Corbin Red Sox that his team would open the coming sea- son against the Socony team of New London a week from Sunday. Bas- ketbau has reigned supreme up to the present time. but with the balnly weather of spring. the king dies and baseball. king of the summer months, comes to take it's place.
 New Britain will probably see a buster baseball season this year than ever and that's saying a great deal. Already the Falcons have started organizing although no active work has been started. s9rhe Seneca A. c. and the Pawnees have taken steps to organize teams The Red Sox open the season in another week and many other quintets are getting ready for busy year.
 The Industrial Baseball league is in the process of formation follow ing a meeting of those interested in the project and seven teams will be entered. The City league will get underway in a few weeks and the season will be on in full swing be- fore we know it.
 Tonights amateur fight tourna- ment will be the last under the old regime. On April IS, next Monday. the new code of boxing rules put into force by State Athletic Con- missioner Thomas F.. Donohue, will so into effect. The rounds will be shortened from three to two min utes. the matches will be made by the draw system and other changes have been made, all of which will put strict supervision over the game.
 Whether amateur fights will be continued in this city or not re- mains to be seen. Following Con- missioner Donohue's edict that there weren't enough amateurs in the state to fill the bills for so many boxing shows, it is possible that many of the present so-called ama- teurs. will be forced to turn pro- fessional.
 Billy Reeves of Bristol, known in the ring as the Bearcat, fights his last amateur fight tonight when he battles Johnny Clinch. Next week he plans to turn professional.
 He will have tough battle on his hands tonight in meeting Clinch beca use the local boy has some good boxing ability that should puzzle the Bristol boy and make him open up. Reeves intends to slash right into Clinch and knock him out, if pos sible.
 Billy wants to win tonight so that he will leave the simon-pures with a record of wins that will certainly make an impression on the pro fight promoters.
