LOSS OF DEMPSEY
OFFSET BY M'MAHON
BY JOHN J. ROMANO.

NEW YORK, June 10-The defec-
ton of Jack Dempsey as matchmaker
for the Fugazy-Cole forces has not
worked any hardship on the combine.
1t has resulted in the acquisition of one
of the outstanding matchmakers in the
country lining up with the Fugazy
forces. Jess Mcmahon, who closed the
Coliseum here with the Al Singer-Leo
Kid Roy fight last week, has taken over
the reins and will make the matches
for Ebbets Field throughout the Sum-
mer.
Jess Immediately stepped into his new
role and made hurried trip to Boston
to keep several appointments with man.
ayers who are directing big fellows and
expects to close two important matches
for his opening show on June ID.
That Ebbets Field will be the scene OF
big doingS this Summer goes without
saying, as there Is merry war going on
between Mcmahon and Tom McArdle,
who succeeded Mcmahon at Madison
Square Garden. McArdle is being
doomed by many as the most successful
matchmaker in the history OF the Gar
den. Mcmahon takes exception to this.
IT commenced the policy Of running
popular-priced shows in the Garden.
and McArdle took up where I left off, !"
said Jess. ut is easy to build house
after the foundation has been laid, and
the fact that Tom did SO well was to be
expected after I had labored hard to
inaugurate popular prices and convince
the public that the shows would be on
a par with, If not better than, those
given at higher premium. In line
with Fugazy's policy, which is the same
as mine, I intend to continue the good
work and let the results speak for
themselves"
Now that Fugazy is all set with Nc
Mahon as a standard bearer, EbbetS
Field will hum with excitement this
Summer, and the open-air season in
this city promises to be the best since
the advent of the Walker law.

tent, but the Greek dress should be
tried before it is condemned.
My idea would be to have parade
to display the suggested dress reform.
It could be headed by Mayor Walker,
whose sartorial tastes are a happy COM
bination of the conventional and the
advance ideas for male apparel.
am picking the troops for this
parade myself. The first detach-
ment would consist of Mr.. Will
bert Robinson, president of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, arrayed in
Highland costume with the kits.
This would take many acres of
tartan and plaid, but We must
spare no expense.
The second detachment would con-
sist of Col. Tillinghast LHommedieu
Huston, former half owner of the
Yankees, clad in the TyroleSe costume,
with the knees exposed to the elements.
The third detachment would be COM
posed of Big Bill Edwards, rugged out
in the Greek costume, with the frilled
skirt stuck out all around him. The
edges of the skirt would just about
brush the spectators on each side OF
Fifth avenue.
The parade would be the test. If 1t
does not take more than three hours
to pass a given point and does not block
traffic-then the movement will be a
success. But we must not block
traffic!

N YEW YORK, June 10.-With only
N lis places to be filled, nearly

Mamaroneck, N. Y, the last Of this
month.
BY their showing So holes of medal

obtain the right to join 35 exempt from
qualifying round play at the Winged

In the exempt class are most Of the
country's leading amateurs and profess
SIGNALS. All those who finished in the
first 80 in the open last year are exempt
from qualifying round play, and Their
number includes almost all of the
formidable challengerS for the crown
now worn by Johnny Farrell.
In addition to Farrell, this class in
cludes Bobby Jones, Roland Hancock

Four more-Bill Mehlhorn, Bobby

because they played in the last British

were exempt, but John Wyland of Cuba
is the only entry in that category.

n EW YORK, June lU.--Paull-
M no Uzcudun and Max
1 Y Schmeling, principals in
the all important heavy
weight contest to be staged on
June 81, have established a pleas
ing rule in their respective camps.
Everything will be open and
above board.
The fighters will do their chores in
the open and any one caring to look
over the fighters and judge their merits
is invited to do SO without special
invitations from the major domoS in
charge of the camp.
This, is G3o.er1v different than the
policy of Gene Tunney and Jacy Demp-
sey. Both former champions played
the game as they saw fit and practised
only when and where they saw fit.
These tactics often gave rise to false
rumors, such as the bad hand Demp-
sey suffered prior to the Jack Sharkey
fight, and the badly swollen eye Gene
Tunney was supposed to have suffered
in tilt with Chuck Virgins All this
is done away with.
Press representatives have been at
tached to each camp and the news
given out is gospel truth. While it is
but part OF the Dallyn0O 10 S2nQ OUT
highly colored stories from time to time,
this will be one fight that does not
need such measures and the fans may
rest assured that the news broadcast
will be strictly on the up and up.
! The arrival of new sparring mates
for the two big battlers means that
things will begin to perk up in SPAR
ring sessions. Harry Dillon, former
Canadian light-heavyweight champion,
in tow of his manager, Bill Black, has
been making the round of Eastern
cities and the Canadian boy is tired of
it all and wants to settle down at his
favorite pastime, throwing gloves in the
direction of an opposing foe. Dillon
has been added to Schmeling's list OF
mates and Harry will have his wish
fulfilled soon as the German Jack
Dempsey is itching for rough play
mate and Harry Dillon will fill the bill.
The only casualty suffered so far Is
q rope burn on Schmeling's back: This
has been covered over with adhesive
tape and Make goes about his work
with nothing more important on his
mind than to be in shape for Pauline.

BOY TENNIS CHAMPS
TO PLAY AT NORFOLK

Washington will be represented in the
Middle Atlantic boys and juniors

June 81 by Jock Mclean and Frank
Shore, who yesterday achieved the
titus Of District boys and juniors
champion, respectively. Mclean ha1dily
defeated Gilbert Hunt of Eastern. 6-3.

Welsh, jr., of Western High, As, 6-3.
6-3, Go, in hard battling.
Mclean gained the crown won last
year by Jack Lynham, who this year
was eliminated in the junior play. 1t
was the second year in succession that
Shore has gained junior laurels.
Though Hunt played well at times.
Mclean was generally superior. Welsh
gave Shore stubborn opposition, but the
latter's reserve strength told.

Mr.. Samuel Warshawky Of Astoria
one of the first recruits to the army
which does not exist, writes:
Dear old pal, while you sound the
note of freedom for the ladies, how
about us poor slaves of the masculine
sex? Aren't We in the crinoline age in
view Of the long trousers. weskits and
in this hot weather? Why, the warmer
the weather gets the heavier the male
apparel becomes. Last Spring
bought my clothes for the following
Winter. 1t seems to be the gleeful and
diabolical intent of the clothing gentry
to make us gents as miserable as pos
sible.
I'm the meantime the gals, as
you so CALAMITY point out, are
dressing in less and less, and al
though we appreciate the heights to
which they aspire, nevertheless we
are obliged to point out that the fact
remains that something ought to be
done. There ought to be a law.
MY idea is that 1t is time for some
Lincoln to sign an emancipation proc
lamation for the male sex. Shorter
pants and longer life! And I want
to point out that this revolution against
heavyweight, long-dance pants must
come soon or we will witness a bloody
revolution, with pantSmakerS being
killed right and left.
Dear old pal, do you want to see
pantsmakers killed right and left? Dc
you realize how many pantsmakers
widows and children would be left? Dc
you realize how many insurance COM
panies would have to forego dividends
paying pantsmakers' insurance? Dc
you realize how many Democratic, Re-
publican and Socialist pantsmakers
votes would be lost? Z
"A has les pantSmakers, but let u.
have peaceful, a bloodless revolution
But convention? How shall
we overcome convention? Aha!
We know that the women didn't
care, but the men are IRON
bound.
Il nominate you, dear pal, to
be our standard bearer for short
er pants and lighter clothes. You
shall be anointed to sound the
tocsin and beat the drum.
"T believe that you would be a good
tocsin sounder. You would make ,
