The status of Jack Dempsey, for
mer champion, who is on the. verge
of attempting his second comeback,
will remain uncertain as far as the
N. B. A. is concerned until Demp-
sey proves he can fight in a legiti-
mate match
Under the N. B. A. six months
rule Schmeling has until Jan. 4 10
post a forfeit of $4,000 to show his
good faith in wanting to defend his
title in February or March.
Negotiations for a bout between
Schmeling and Walker at Miami
Fla, in. February, have been halted
by Jack Kearns, Walkers manager
who wants the contest held in Chi
cago or Los Angeles. Kearns left
for New York today. He reiterated
that he would not sign for Walker
to fight in Florida unless he re-
ceived the proper guarantee, ano
that he is further guaranteed the
bout will be for the worlds title.
The Interpretation placed on the
present trend of negotiations by
several boxing men who are in a
position to know what's happening
is Schmeling wants to dodge a title
bout until this summer and then
meet Jack Dempsey.

took the Bulldogs only 20 to 2, but
seven points was the best that was
being given on the New Years day
classic a week ago.

for the most.
Most annoyed by the enthusiasm
