fractions each is sponsoring.
Dempsey received formal sanction
from the New York State Athletic Com
mission yesterday for his Max Schmel-
ing-Max Baer bout here on Thursday
June l, either in the Yankee Stadium
or the Polo Grounds, despite the fact
that Johnston, sponsoring heavyweight
title bout between Jack Sharkey and
Primo Carnera, had asked the commits
sion for prior rights to all Thursday
dates during the outdoor season.
Johnston won q major victory, how
ever, when the commission reconsidered
a previous stand and gave formal con-
sent to the Carnera-Sharkey match.
The commission had ruled, after the
death of Ernie Schaaf, that Camera
must restrict his competitive activities
to the "dreadnaught class" consisting
Of heavyweights weighing 220 pounds
or more.
JOHNSTON probably will go before
the commission Friday and apply
for specific date for the title
match, possibly as early as May 18
That would represent an extreme gam
BILE with the weather, but there is little
doubt that both Johnston and Dempsey
are jockeying for the first crack at Mr.
John H. Fans none-too-fat pocketbook
Gen. John j. Phelan. chairman OF
the commission, had announced at the
conclusion of yesterdays meeting that
the Garden had been granted permis-
| sion to hold the championship fight or
any Thursday in June except June
Johnston, however, said this was In
error.
II did not ask the commission for
any specific date for the fight" he ex-
planned. II did ask for permission to
conduct outdoor shows on Thursday
nights. When I was told I must wait
until Summer dates were allotted

been granted for the Schmeling- -Bael
fight. was told that If would apply
for q definite date for Sharkey and
Camera it would be granted, and
promised to return Friday with my
application"
The championship feature Of the Car
nera-Sharkey match led the commission
to reconsider its partial ban on Carners

Exaggeration Can Change Virtue
Into a Fault, Bobby Jones Warns

The idea, Of course, was to deliver a

produce a low-fiying shot which would
bring up relatively quickly after strik-
ing the ground. The low trajectory was

ing yards of turf at each stroke, and
giving my wrists an awful pounding.

But I still was taking myself very

hind. I turned at the sound and found
Stewart perched on bench, with his
cap cooked up on the back Of his head
and having the time Of his life watching
me. AS I looked back he chuckled
again. 'What're ye trying to do, Robin?
Move the golf course?" was all he ever
said, but I never have troubled about
the push shot since.
I confess that TO this day I do not
know if the push shot ever existed as q
shot distinct from the ordinary low
flying iron shot which we employ today
to meet certain conditions. I am GER
tain of one thing, which Is, that Harry
Vardon never intended that the shot
should be played as attempted to play
it. I am familiar with the low iron

straightforward type, but ever so
slightly more. I believe this was Var

that if a tablespoonful of medicine
would do him good the whole bottle
taken Immediately would effect a cure
At any rate, for better, for worse, Stew
art Maiden laughed me out OF any
further concern with the push shot
After that little experience whenever
any one mentioned it to me I would
change the subject as rapidly as pos

majority Of golfers understand
that the controlled shot in golf
the shot intended to carry some
amount Of backspin, should be accom-
plished by q stroke which brings the

nizes the divot-taking stroke which
the expert employs with his iron clubs,
so 1t is common knowledge that with

is done Is Of great Importance. 1t is
impossible to think Of q golflng virtue
which cannot be exaggerated or en-
phasized into q fault.
When was a small boy II or 13

the correct method of executing a

n yEW YORK, March l5.-Ben
M Jeby Of the East Side, rec
4 Y ognized in this State as
middleweight champion Of
the world, will clash with Vince
Dundee of Newark, perennial chal-
iehger, in a 15-round titular bout
in Madison Square Garden Friday
night.
Because OF the confusion that has
reigned as to the sovereignty in the
160-pound sector since Mickey Walker
resigned, it has been dubbed the mud
dleweight" division by those humorously
inclined.
Jeby is champion 80 far as New York
is concerned. Gorilla Jones. Akron
Negro. is the choice Of the National
Boxing Association. Marcel Thil Of
France is looked upon as champion in
Europe. After Jones won the N. B. A.
title in an elimination tournament, he
lost to Thil in Paris. That would seem
to have given Thil direct claim to the
N. B. ~ honors. However, when Jones
returned to this country the N. B. A
approved match between him and
Sammy Slaughter as championship
brawl. Jones won and thus again be-
came the title holder.
So now there are three champions"
In time, no doubt, bouts between Jones,
Thil and the winner Of the Jeby-Dundee
affair will result in general acceptance
Of one man as king of the 160-pounders.
II the other champions were as will
ing to risk their laurels as Jeby. this
happy result might be speedily achieved.
In his first appearance as champion
Jeby has accepted as an opponent a
boxer who holds two decisions over him.
THOUGH contracts have not yet been
i signed, it is virtually certain that
Make Rosenbloonl, who retained
his light Heavyweight championship by
defeating Adolph Heuser last Friday
night, will hook up with Bob Goodwin,
N. B. A. choice, in another 15-round
titular contest In the Garden ON
March "a.
The Risko-Wa1ker heavyweight fracas,
as first contemplated for that date, has
been shifted to May -. Harry Ebbets,
who has been in line for the next crack
at the 175-pound laurels, eased him
self out Of the picture by his lack
luster showing in winning an unpopular
verdict over Doc Conrad in the Garden
