DUSEk LISTENS
AS FANS CHEER

"The best show of the sea-
son."
That was the opinion of more
than 1000 wrestling fans as they
edged their way out of the Wash
ington Auditorium after witness
ing five matches that tingled
with excitement throughout.
The engagement that produced
gobs of thrills was between Dick
Daviscourt and Tiny Roebuck, the
tiff going 80 minutes to draw.
Daviscourt. making his bow be-
fore a local audience, showed
himself a cagey veteran of the
game but the big Indian stayed
the limit because of his ad-
vantage of over 20 pounds in
weight. A girl, SO enthralled at
this match, tainted. After being
revived, she returned to her seat
to see the balance of the bill.
She refused to give her name.
Rudy Dusek heard himself
cheered during his bout with
Jack WaShburn, which the
former won with a crab hold
after some II minutes of whirl-
wind action. Washburn must
have played football at one
time, because he was particu-
larly strong at punting. He
nearly punted DuSek across the
ring on one occasion and al
most derailing Referee Bennie
BOrtnick, who did a neat Paw
Iowa.
Leslie Grimes, the Australian
youth, nearly decapitated old
Chief White Feather in the
early part of their session and
the foreigner paid for this insult
later. The Chief went after his
opponent in the fashion of
hatchetman and Grimes breathed
easier when it ended with a crab
hold after 81 minutes.
Paul CScissors"O Jones. of
Texas, hurled George Hagen, the
ex-Marine, with rocking chair"
split and scissors after % minutes
in the SpeedieSt match of the
festivities. This was the feature
of the program and the fans were
provided gilt-edged wrestling.

his hand and asked Gene if he re-
membered him.
Slightly" Tunney confessed
while turning on his heel and
walking away.
When scored by his friend for
the action, he added:
"He wasn't so cordial during
the war. Why should l be now?
Again an utter stranger, one OF
the millionaire type, started guSh-
ing over Tunney.
Remember me, Gene?" he is
reported to have asked.
"NO, l don't" Tunney replied
while Shuffling onward.
When again called upon the
carpet, Gene said:
II never forget q face. And 1
don't remember his. Why
should 1 pretend when there's
no reason for it,"
On the other hand, flanagan
insists, Tunney was always glad
to meet real friends and was
courteous to even the most
casual acquaintanceS.
Has Friends
Though disliked by a majority
of boxing patrons, flanagan
claims, Tunney's boosters were
always willing to back him to
the limit. His quiet courage and
grim determination inspired con-
fidence among those who knew
him.
Just how frankly flanagan
deals with his friend can be seen
in the following statement:
The day after Tunney won
the championship he seemed
destined to become the most
popular champion of all time.
But he was too dOgmatic to be
affable.
"Tunney didn't know how to
meet the public and he didn't
care to learn"
flanagan further contends
that Tunney worked hard for his
money and now that he chooses
to spend it his own way he has
every right to do so.
That flanagan approves of
Tunney's marriage can be proved
in the following statement:
particularly fortunate in his
choice of a life companion,
Tunney is expanding.
"He will never be sorry for
his unpOpularity of the past.
He isn't built that way"

STABLES
PICK PLUMS
Of TURF
BY TOM THORP

BOWIE. Md, April 10.-Racing
looks to be in for a drab year.
The future must produce start
ling results to put any genuine
pep into the sport. The meetings
conducted at New Orleans. Miami,
st. Johns, Cuba, and Aqua
Caliente were disappointing at
best with few exceptions. The
grade of thoroughbreds was far
below what should go to make
up the daily cards at these well
conducted racing courses.
Unless owners of the better
class of thoroughbreds wake UP
to the fact they must support
the game by entering their best
high-class racers, they are going
to find themselves confronted
with situation which may prove
embarrassing to them.
Rich Pick Plums
Racing must have greater sup
port from the rich owners if 1t
is to improve. Poor owners give
their best. The rich ones visit
around to pluck the plums of the
big stakes. This is too uneven
a balance to continue. New Or
leans biggest boast was the in
PRODUCTION of several new riding
prospects.
The blOssOming knights Of
the pigskin to show potential
claims to fame are Pat Remil-
lard and Joe Renick. The two
lads show exceptional form in
their racing. Both are sure to
gain additional fame.
Principal development among
horses was Pat Knebelkamp and
C. H. Morris 3-year-old star,
Spanish Play, winner of the
Louisiana Derby and second to
Lightning Bolt in the Florida
Derby. The son of Spanish
Prince I'd is dead game, honest
colt of regal blood lines, with
speed enough to either make his.
own pace or come from off the
pace and go on to the front.
To call this compact, short
coupled campaigner a great colt
would be folly and to tally un-
called for in view of the fact that
his most impressive victories were
recorded in winter company
which hardly measures up to the
standard of firSt-clasS competition.

TAUGHT FAIR
PLAY To
TEAMS
By JACK DEMPSEY

Knute Rockne was my friend
His tragic death is tragedy to
meas it is to the tens of thou
sands who knew him, admired
him, and loved him for the
splendid man he was.
Rockne was a football genius
the greatest of his generation
perhaps the super-tutor of all
time. There is today, so the eX,
perts insist, just two kinds OF
football; the style sponsored by
Glen Warner, of the old school
and the Rockne method.
It was Knute and Gus DOrais,
who played quarterback with
him at NOtre Dame some II or
1S years ago, who revOlutiOniZed
football. The rules permitted
forward passing, but the play
was seldom used. Knute and
Gus studied the principle Of
forward passing and then spent
every odd moment during a
summers vacation practicing
the trick plays.
They first swung into action
against a powerful Army eleven
and their aerial plays absolutely
bewildered the Cadets and caused
the crowd to sit in stunned
amazement.
Always a great story teller and
q man who knew the art of con-
versation, Knute loved to tell Of
that game more than any other
in which he figured during his
career as player or coach.
Teams Adopt Pass
The Eastern teams quickly
adopted the forward pass and
the Western ones soon fell into
line. The old style of play was
practically pushed into the dis
card as elevens throughout the
land resorted to forward passing.
other coaches strived
through the years to eclipse or
At least equal Knute's skill as a
teacher of the forward pass.
But just as he was leader in
making the play, so he kept to
the front devising newer and
trickier formations and build
ing teams that ran rOugh-shOd
over all opposition.
Knute was a natural teacher
and he understood boys and men.
He was as fine an influence for
clean and fair play and sports
manShip as any game has ever
known. He was honest and hon.
orable-as fine a man as 1 ever
met in all my years.
Knute Rockne's passing leaves
O. gap in footballdom that never
will be filled because he was
great-perhaps the greatest-in a
sport of illustrious men.

AS much is revealed through
his friend, Steve flanagan, in
the May issue Of the Cosmopoli-
tan. Magazine.
flanagan stresses Genes life,
long yearning for society. Fur,
thermore he points out that Tun.
ney was positively selfish while
battling his way to the top.
flanagan declares that Gene
was one of the most unpopular
fighters in history. Yet one of
the most respected.
Several years ago, flanagan
reveals, Tunney set the world
championship as his goal. But
it wasn't the title he was after.
1t was the money that would
make him independently wealthy
and place him in a position to
fittingly court the lady Of his
choice. .''..
Ignored Jeers
It is claimed that Tupney
never paid the slightest attention
to jeers of the fans. If anything
they Spurred him on to greater
effort-increaSed his determina-
ton to climb to the pinnacle as
soon as possible.
Tunney, flanagan claims, al
ways had a distinct liking for
the SO-calIed better things of
life. He much preferred read
ing classics to pushing leather.
That his literary aspirations
have to some degree been full
filled is obvious. Such a splen-
didly rounded critic as George
Bernard Shaw finds Tunney in
tensely interesting and converses
with him whenever possible.
Tunney's utter disregard for
the press and a mutual dislike
Of newspaper men for Gene, Han
nagan explains, aroused a feud
Of no minor proportions.
A mutual dislike for one an
other made it difficult to place
the blame upon either faction.
Certainly Tunney did nothing to
popularize himself in the eyes of
the press. Naturally the press
itself made no overtures.
Whether stark indifference or
an absolute regard for the news
paper boys caused this reaction Is
as yet unknown.
One of Tunney's qualities that
Hannagan praises is his candor.
He admits that Gene first
started climbing the social ladder
while enlisted in the United
States Marines during the late
World War.
Speaks Frankly
There he met aristocrats on a
common plane, cultivated their
acquaintance and quite naturally,
after his term Of enlistment had
expired, was invited to the best
homes.
Such privileges, however, did
not make him hypocritical.
On one occasion, flanagan
says, Tunney encountered a war,
time acquaintance-an officer II
memory serves.
The man in question proffered
