JACKS OLD
SPAR MATE
SUCCEEDS
BY JACK DEMPSEY

by JAIN DEMESE&
New Orleans is doing a come
back as a fistic battle-ground,
with Marty Burke in the role of
doctor" He's "Dixie's Tex Rick
ard"
Marty is included in that small
group Of ringmen who decided to
go to work after active ring days
were done. There we're plenty of
things Marty could do but he
decided to take a fling at the
thing he knew best-boxing. So
he proceeded to promote in the
Crescent City.
There was opposition at first.
Marty met it-and beat it. He
now is alone in the field. He
started his promotions in a
modest way, using only local
prides" at the beginning. Several
of the boys developed splend1dly
and Marty brought some crack
warriors from other cities to take
bang at the hometown proo-
ucts.
Bit by bit Marty has built
nm patronage. He has aimed
at all times to use only men
who would FIGHT. The
crowd always got run for
its money. The gates became
larger and larger. And now
the ''big shots" Of the game,
who gave New Orleans the
''chiII'' through several years.
now are eager to strut their
stuff under the promotion
of Marty Burke.
New Orleans, due to the pro
motional activities Of Burke
seems certain now to resume It's
old, old place as a major 1lstlc
center.
Marty could have been light
heavyweight champion OF the
world if he had been less good
natured and less inclined to loaI
during a battle. He came TO me
in the role of sparring partner
back in 1920, a tall, gangllngN
freckled blond kid. Just an anna
teur at the time. But he was
as game a fellow as ever met
in my life, and I've known no
one who could take punches with
less concern than Marty.
During his career he never was
rated high as a hitter. Yet when
somebody ruffled his calm nature
and reused the Irish within him.
he knew few peers in savage
punching power.
Marty was as smart as any
Iight-heavy the game has pro
duced. He knew every Ordi-
nary trick of the trade-and
invented o dozen of his own.
When he decided he didn't
want to be hit, nobody hit .
him. And when he made up
his mind to spear somebody
with his long whip-ike left
that fellow was due to be
Speared plenty.
Marty fought them all-includ-
ing three sessions with Gene
Tunney. He mixed in over 100
fights and there wasn't sucker
in the group. Practically every
time he climb1 through the
ropes it brought him face to face
with men who outweighed him
10 to As pounds. But they all
looked alike to Marty.
Marty Burke was "playboy"
during his ring years. He never
took the game seriously. He had
everything that was needed to
make him chal .pion-except am
bition to become a champion. He
hated to train, he baked at going
on a diet, he merely shifted at
the ''S-hour sleep" rule and, as a
result, he rarely was in tip-top
condition when a gong banged.
Although he failed to win a
crown as fighter, because he
had no ambition to get to the
top, it is different with him now
that he is a promoter. He is all
ambition. all eager, and deadly
serious about it.

Several thousand Washingto-
mans witnessing Saturdays All
Marine Coast Guard Presidents
Cup football game at Griffith
Stadium are today hopeful that
this attraction viii not die a nat
.ural death.
Saturdays classic marked the
passing of. an eleven that had
gained national Eecognition- the
All Marines. Even in his hour Of
triumph Tom Ready, capable
Leatherneck coach, must have
been saddened somewhat by the
realization that he would never
again send a nationally known
service eleven into action.
There is still hope, however,
that Presidents Cup cOmpeti-
tiOn may continue, Through
the jealous and untiring' ef-
forts Of Heinie Miller, live
wire Of the Coast Guard, IL
Is believed that this service
unit will indorse any move
ment calculated to prOIOng the
gala event.
On the other hand, the Guam
tico Marines, it is understood, will
step In where the ALI Marines
leave off. In other words, there
is a chance that the Marines. rep
resenting Quantico, will again &c
into battle against the Coast
Guard eleven of New London
Conn, another year.
A continuance of this game
which is now traditional 10
cally, would meet with pop.
ular response.
It is doubtful IL the Arrny-Navy
clash at Yankee Stadium will un
cover more spectacular features OF
pack more thrills than were ex
hibited by the Marine and Coast
Guard contingents Saturday.
Virtually every important city
has its outstanding gridiron pre-
sentation annually. And there il
no doubt but what the Presidents
Cup spectacle has taken a firm
hold on the affections of Washing
tonianS.

EIGHT MAKES
fine RECORD

Transcontinental motor trips long
since ceased to be classcd with stunt
driving; however, it is always inter
esting to note the performance of a
tour in the hands Of private owners,
especially when weather conditions
are far from ideal as is bound to be
the ease during the winter months.
The first of the new Oakland "N''
type eight cylinder ears to make
this trip across the country to the

formanee of their new car and it,
perfect record through mud and wa
ter, including water two feet in
depth on one stretch of road IN
Arkansas and snow and slush near
Dallas, Texas, TO say nothing Of
steep grades on the Superior high
way in Arizona.
Scott, who was accompanied by his
family on the trip, declared that
while the only breaking in Of the
new car had consisted of some 475
miles of driving in and about the
Ohio town, it had given absolutely
no trouble on the 3,000-mile trip and
that its phenomenal power and abil- !
ity to negotiate heavy grades in !
hiOh GEAR had made thp trim a most |
enjoyable one in spite Of several /
stretches of highway where severe .
weather conditions were encount-
cred. Scott's son, Robert. took turns
with his father at the wheel and is
RS enthusiastic as his father over
the ears ability to "ramble over the
road"
