Dempsey Cleans Up

In the case of Dempsey, he is
getting so per cent of the gross!
proceeds of every fistic enter
tainment, or mat entertain
ment, of which he is the third
wheel. So, a fighter who has
been an ex-champion who is
still cleaning up the biggest
gates and drawing the biggest
crowds.
Incidentally, Dempsey Is 70
show in Washington early next
month in his new role. joe
Turner will bring the erstwhile
Manassa mauler here to referee
one of his wrestling shows at
the Auditorium and the place
should be packed to the rafters.
Too, Turner hopes to bring
Max Schmeling here in a similar
capacity when and if the cham
pion returns to America, but it
is doubtful if Schmeling will be
the attraction that Dempsey
will be. Somehow the fight
fans can't get steamed up over
the German and that situation
isn't hard to understand, either.
A side light on the sustained
popularity of Jack Dempsey is
found in his recent pause in
Washington where he came
The Washington times., 1931-01-17
NeWs Tippers Busy

He was recognized by the
public at every turn and the
telephone of The Times news
tip editor played the Chimes
of Normandy at the persistence
of the dozens Of Dempsey OBJ
servers who thought his pres
ence here was unknown to the
newspapers and who thought
they might be earning some of
the weekly prize money which
goes to givers of exclusive news
tips.
In addition to Dempsey and
Schmeling, Turner will bring
again to our fair city the one
and only Jim Londos, before
the warm weather is upon us.
Londos drew so we'll at his
local appearance during the
recent holidays that Turner is
sure he is good for another
packed full later on in the
winter season.
Truth to tell, Londos IS good
for many packed houses, not
only here, but throughout the
country. Fact is his popularity
is so intense that his manager,
Ed White, finds it necessary to
send out a special communica-
tion to all wrestling promoters
warning them against doing
business with imposters prom
ising to book Londos the cham
pion.
White calls attention to the
fact he is the one and only
manager of the Greek God and
that any representative other
than himself, promising to
bring Londos hither and yon
for engagements, are outright
fakers-and even worse than
that.

Whitley Cox, dark horse" pro

Johnny Golden, of Noroton,
Conn, pace-setter for the first
two days, running second.
And Horton Smith, Of New

of Tulsa, Okla, holding third.
Such was the situation here to-
day as the field of so survivors
we're ready to start on the final
and deciding lap in Aqua
Caliente'S second annual tourna-
ment-known as the worlds rich
est golf classic.
AS Cox started this morning he
had a total of 218, with Golden
holding 219 and followed by Dud-
ley, Clark and Horton Smith with
220. The last-named trio was con-
sidered to be in the best spot"
and rated almost as even favorites
to overtake both Golden and Cox
for the top cash of $4,000.
Bill Foley, Coronado Country
Club entrant, and Willard Hutchi-
son, of Chicago. both had totals Of
224 to tie for sixth place. 1t was
Foley's brilliant II, which is one
under par, that put him back into
the running yesterday. This. next
to Cox's SO and with Clark's II,
was one Of the three best scores
of the third round.
Leo Diegel, host pro, still had
high hopes of finishing well up In
the money today, despite the fact
that he was seven strokes behind
the leader.

AS the season progresses, kinks
will be ironed out, but, at present,

TODAY'S SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

Should you be at all inter
eSted in the low estate to
which the sport of box fighting
has Slumped, ponder for a mo-
ment one fact.
In order to pack customers
into the stadia of the country,
the desperate promoters have
gone back to postwar days and
dug up the then champion,
Jack Dempsey, as the main at
traction in the capacity of ref
cree.
They know they can't sell
the public the fighters, so they
throw in a former champion
as the arbiter of the fistic
proceedings, and then don't
pack any too many Of 'em in.
Selling Dempsey to the public
as a -non-combatant to lure
them through the gates is prob
ably just a step away from
throwing in a two-pants suit,
bag of double-jointed jumbo
peanuts, a pair of shoe trees or
or adopting any other method
of modern merchandising to
focus a few dollars on fighting.
On second thought only the
peanut suggestion is plausl-
BILE. Most fight fans wouldn't
know what to do with the
shoe trees or the extra pair Of
pants, however handy the
COOLERS might be in satisfying
the inner man.

PUNCH
HELPED BY
HARGRAVE
BY JOE HOLMAN


If Clark Griffith is grinning
broadly today there's a reason
like a well-known beverage.
Sam Jones, foxy WoodsfieId
(Ohio) mound master, has for.
warded his signed contract to
the Washington prexy.
But that's not the half of it.
Samuel Pond, who for the past
three seasons has objected siren
uously to the terms offered him,
admits he is we'll pleased with
the salary rendered in his con-
tract and unhesitatingly signed
on the dotted line.
Effective, What?
Indicating that the philosophi-
cal slabSter has finally received
the $4,000 for which he has
battled SO valiantly heretofore.
Jones in 1880 proved one Of
the most effective singers in the
American League. His Is wins
numbered three victories over
the Athletics and Yankees, while
other troublesome teams also
we're stopped by his wide breaking
hooks
Speaking of Jones today Clark
Griffith said:
"Sam takes care of himself
and trains down to the minute
He should continue pitching for
some time yet.
"He needs four days rest be-
tween each start. And with
Crowder, Marberry, Hadley and
Brown available he will get it
this year. Given his lay-Off
Jones still is tough customer
and we are counting on him
heavily"
Lloyd Brown, as a result of last
years satisfactory showing, Is
now included among the full time
pitchers. After hectic uphill
fight Brownie apparently has
made the regular grade.
Relief pitching, a comparatively
dead issue since the swapping
of Garland Braxton to the White
Sox last June, may be revived in
1881 by either Bobby Burke or
Ad Liska, youthful box men.
Liska, if he hits his proper
stride, will be carried as a nine
inning shooter. In which event
Burke will be assigned to the
task Of stopping enemy rallies.
Pinkie Promising
Special lessons in rescue work
are to be given Bob in spring
training. 1t is thought that his
hard one and sweeping curve
ball, along with good control, will
qualify him admirably for the job.
The turn around Slugging Of
Pinkie Hargrave, If he rounds
into shape, undoubtedly will bol-
ster Washington's 1881 long dis
tance hitting, Clark Griffith
thinks.
He explained today:
"Pinkie can get power be-
hind his cut, no doubt about
that. If he only sheds some of
the weight he carried a year
ago, he will help us plenty.
"NOt only as receiver but
also as a pinch,hitter, Hargrave
is always dangerous. That's
why we decided to take a
chance on him last season."
Washington club veterans will
be spared unnecessary toll in 1881
spring exhibitions. When possible,
or plausible, youngsters are to
fit into the lineup.
Sammy Rice, Joe Judge, and
Heine Manush, President Griffith
declares, will give way to substi-
tutes from time to time.
