Charlie had never met anyone like

FOOTBALL AND GOLF GAINING
INFAV0R, PRESS POLL SHOWS
Baseball and Boxing Appear to
Be Losing Ground Among
Sport Enthusiasts

New York, Jan. 20.-(P)-One OF the
most striking features of the Asso-
ciated Press poll of newspaper expert
opinion is proof of the astonishing
growth of football and golf in nation
al popularity, testifying strongly to the
advance of the amateur side Of our
competitive forces.
These two sports have swept the
country within the past decade, mos!
observers agree. Meanwhile, baseball
has had q fight to hold its own and
remain the national pastime," by q
narrow margin, and other professional
sports such as boxing and horse rae
ing have experienced sharp declines
in public interest.
Baseball's lead over all other sports
has so far been cut down that the AS
ISOLATED Press poll shows compila-
ton Of 181 points to footballs 1853.
Golf is a good third with ia, but box
ing is poor fourth with only 20.
Five years ago boxing undoubtedly
would have been included In the first
three by SO out of every 100 observers.
Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth's chief RI
val as public idol in the boom days,
was big factor in fistian's popular
ity and his retirement, along with
that of Gene Tunney, accelerated the
sports decline in general interest.
If 1t were possible to drive out Ger
tain elements from boxing" writes q
Philadelphia expert, "such as the
racketeers, smart alexis who know
that this bout or that bout is lin the

Failure 70 Give Sharkey Return
Match Leads to Trouble
With Boxing Body

Chicago, Jan. 20.-{R)-Herr Max
Schmeling, the world heavyweight
champion, and the New York state
athletic commission have made up, but
Schmeling and the National Boxing
association appear just about to have
q serious falling out.
just as Schmeling was making his
/, peace with the New York commission
by promising to sign for q champion
ship match against Jack Sharkey In
New York before next July l, General
John v. Clinnin, president of the Ma
tional Boxing association, and chair
man Of the Illinois. state athletic COM
mission, dispatched ballots to men,
bers Of the N. B. A., asking them to
vote on the question Of vacating the
heavyweight title, because of schmel-
ing's failure to defend, or sign to de-
fend, it within the prescribed six
month time limit.
Schmeling's troubles with the New
York group began when he failed to
keep promise to give Jack Sharkey
whom he defeated on a foul, thus
gaining recognition as champion, q
return match. The New York COM
mission Withdrew its recognition a
year ago, when Schmeling did nothing
about meeting Sharkey again.
All that time, however, the Nation
al Boxing association recognized
Schmeling as champion, and sanction
ed his title bout with w. L. (Young)
Stribling. at Cleveland last July 8
Under the NJ n A e r,,los 1,o noe d,,e
to fight or sign up by Jan. 3. At the
time q match for the championship
with Mickey Walker, former welter-
weight and middleweight titleholder
was brewing, and the N. B. A., await
ed developments.
The Walker Schmeling battle
scheduled for Miami, Fla, collapsed
after two weeks Of discussion over
contracts.
General Clinnin yesterday decided
that 1t was time for N. B. A. action
and sent out his ballots.

Headquarters Detective Larry ODea
Is receiving plenty Of congratulations
these days, particularly since Jack Gar
ner was nominated for Vice President
on the Democratic ticket.
The veteran chief of the robbery
squad also was showered with atten-
ton after the Garner wet statement.
Hi, Jack" called a group Of bonus
marchers, lettering about Capitol Hill
the other day, as O'Dea passed on Of
f1cial business, when do we get our
beer?"
O'Dea, who Is accustomed to being
mistaken for the Representative from
Texas replied with negative shake Of
his head, feeling he should not take
advantage of the resemblance to en-
phasize a purely personal opinion.
"Oh, we know you, jack" they called
good-naturedly, come on now and tell
us-when do we get our beer?"
ODea, whose ruddy countenance and
cast of features bears a striking resem-
blance to Gamers, although the detec-
tive is of a larger build, Is most often
mistaken when he goes abroad In one
Of the Police Departments large motor
cruisers.
Then old ladies, enthusiastic tour
lists and sometimes even casual ac-
quaintances Of Garner point him out
and try to pass the time Of day.
For 10 years now O'Dea has been
mistaken for Garner, although the re-
semblance never excited SO much at
tention or called forth SO many con-
gratulations before.

GARNER WILL REST
BEFORE CAMPAIGN
Speaker to Go to Texas
Home When Congress
AdjournS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Speaker John Nance Garner Is going
to take rest in the sunshine of Texas
before he enters the campaign for the
vice presidency
At present he does not plan any ex-
tensive tours, but already Democrats
throughout the country are urging him
to make speeches in number of big
cities.
AS soon as possible after Congress
adjourns. Garner will go to Albany to
confer with Gov. Franklin Roosevelt on
plans for the campaign. Then he will
tails at the Speakers office.
Tired by Long Session.
Somewhat wearied by the long and
hectic seven months OF this session Of
Congress, Garner is anxious to go home
to Uvalde. He is always refreshed by
a stay in the invigorating climate.
Fishing trips in much-battered fiivver,
too, give him rest and relaxation.
Garner does not want to make many
speeches. He feels that through the
radio candidates can reach more people
on real issues. On the other hand, he
contends that even on an extensive
tour, without the aid of the radio, a
candidate can hardly get his word to
more than 200, 900 persons.
Garner probably will make his head
quarters in Washington during the
latter part Of the campaign, and will
make at least one radio speech here.
AS far as receiving the official noti-
f1cation Of his nomination, Garner feels
that his message to the convention ac-
cepting 1t was sufficient. He believes
that the less f1ubdub about the cam
patgn and the nomination the better.
Candidate for Congress.
Meanwhile, he will continue as q
candidate for the next Congress from
the fourteenth Texas district. which
he has served for 80 years. The
primaries are on the last Saturday Of
this month. Gamers idea is to keep
the 5000 Republican voters In his dis
trict from electing a successor to him.
Not until Congress has adjourned will
he make any public statement on poll
tics. He holds that he is too busy at
his present job as Speaker OF the House
The suggestion that the Texan speak
in Chicago, San Francisco and New
York during the campaign is supported
by a number of Democratic House lead
ers. They include Representatives Nc
DUNE OF Alabama and Warren of North
Carolina, who claim the people of the
country want to see the Texan.

FREEDOM IS URGED
FOR PHILIPPINES
Davis Recommends Econonf-
ic Independence as Basis
for Political Action.

The development Of an economic
situation IN the Philippines which would
promote the economic independence OF
the islands was recommended by Dwight
w. Davis, former governor general OF
the Pacific group, in a report to the
War Department made public yesterday.
Mr.. Davis paid tribute to the progress
made in betterment by the Ftliptnos
themselves, the results OF which, he said
are "far exceeding anything comparable
In history"
Addressing himself to Philippine IN
dependence, Mr.. Davis declared many
political and economic problems must
be solved by the people themselves,
adding that without economic stability.
any new political relationship will be
greatly hampered, II not doomed to
failure at its inception
I'm my opinion" he said, measures
should be adopted as soon as possible
to bring about the progressive develop
ment OF firm economic base, not de-
pendent upon outside aid, upon which
the islands could develop their economic
future. If then their future political
status was to be independence, they
would have an independent economic
foundation upon which to build. If it
was to be some form Of partnership
freely entered into between the islands
and the United States, they would be
partners on an equal and independent
basis.
while this development might take
little more time than would satisfy
the impatient in both countries, a few
years are insignificant in the lifetime
Of nations An assured instead Of an
uncertain future would well justify the
waiting. Hasty and illadvised action
might bring disaster In its train"

Roosevelt as the party nominee.
But when balcony spectator shouted
for "few words" from National Chair
man James A. Farley, marshal of the
victorious Roosevelt forces, there was a
chorus of loud noes"
Walker Asserts Loyalty.
Although he had described himself
as greatly fatigued, Farley fastened
from a Chicago train to q seat on the
Tammany platform. He held hand
shaking reception after the ceremonies
and told inquirers Why I'm a member
Of Tammy Hall-a life member"
Too late for the celebration, Mayor
Walker brought back from the conven-
ton a firm declaration Of party loyalty.
The convention has made its choice, ="
said the mayor, 'I am q Democrat and
irrespective of any contingencies, Will
vote the Democratic ticket, as I always
have done"
He said he would require about a
week to prepare his answer to the re-
moval charges in the hands Of Gov
Roosevelt and that he believed the
Governor would take two weeks to de-
eide what course to follow. The mayor
expressed a desire for speedy DISPOSE

ROOSEVELT IS SURE

Day Greeting Expressing
His Confidence.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 5.-4Gov. Roosevelt
yesterday told Tammany Hall, cham
pion of Alfred z. Smith and Mayor
Walker. he felt assured that powerful
organization would follow the banners"
of Democracy in the Roosevelt presi-
Dental campaign.
Tammany applauded the message, but
otherwise gave the Roosevelt candidacy
mixed response.
The Governor telegraphed Leader
tradition laden Independence day cele-
bration, he said, at Tammany's re-
quest.
The Democratic party Of this coun-
try" said Roosevelt, has enrolled to-
day against influences which are re-
sponsible by acts Of commission and
omission for most of our existing trou-
bles-an enemy still controlled by those
interests Of personal greed which are
primarily responsible for present condi-
tions. They stand arrogant, intolerant
as was the British government Of 156
years ago.
Smith AppIauds Measure.
"Yet, because we are undaunted, and
because we have had the vision In our
great platform boldly to declare our
own bill Of rights. and because most
Of all We fight in just cause, I am
confident that we will win the coming
struggle, as did those who signed our
independence declaration of so many
years ago.
II am proud to have been chosen as
the standard bearer in that fight. I am
assured that the society of Tammany
will follow the banners when the cause
Of real democracy Is at stake"
On the bunting -draped rostrum the
applause which followed the reading
of the message was joined by former
Gov. Smith, who was the center of a
personal ovation, but who still pre-
served his strict silence on the Roose-
velt nomination.
From the principal orator, Senator
Robert F. Wagner, came words of
praise, both for the Roosevelt and
Smith administrations in New York
