 As his last official act, Dalrymple made public a letter to Attorney General Cummings in which he charged that subordinate. with out his knowledge. sent out tele- grams under his name informing all 1,S00 employees of the bureau that they would be removed from the payrolls.

THE SPORTLICHT

the reward that would follow the first
of the championship comebacks.
II, Of course. should have concen-
trated entirely on keeping away from
JEFF those last three rounds. had a
lead that nothing but knockout could
wipe out.
"As it was, I had taken no thought
of my position in the ring. So when
Jeffries came at me and jumped back,
I had no idea the ropes were so close
to my body. should have known
exactly where I was. SO that in such
a case could easily slip to one side.
But, as it happened, hitting the
ropes unexpectedly, my body was
thrown forward just as he started a
smashing left. 1t happened so quickly
that had no idea where was or what
had happened until I came to on the
floor.
"You don't mind it so much when
you haven't chance to win, when you
are outclassed. That Is something be-
yond your help-for that occasion. But
it isn't SO easy to lose when you feel
that you have thrown your own chance
away. with the battle already won.
"All I had to do those last three
rounds was to use one Of my best ring
assets-strategy-to win by one of the
widest margins in all ring history.
But I let overconfidence-care
ness-taking too much for granted-in
just one brief mistake-a seconds fault
kill the greatest chance any fighter
had ever known. or may know again.
When you step into the championship

ILLINOIS RING BODY
NOW OUT OF N. B. A.
Dempsey's Difficulties Hinted as
Reason for Apparent Decision
to Go It Alone.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 23-The Illi-
~ nois State Athletic Commission,
once one of the key members of
the National Boxing Association, ap-
parently has decided to go its way
alone.
1t did not become known until yes
terday, that Illinois has not been a
member of the N. B. A. since Decem-
Der IS, last. At that time, Gen. John
v. Clinnin, then chairman Of the COM
mission, mailed the resignation of his
group ; to James (Bingo) Brown OF
Ypsilanti, Mich, chairman of the Mich
igan commission, and president of the
N. B. A. Brown, according to Clinnin,
did not reply.
It was limited that Jack Dempsey's
difficulties might have had something
to do with the resignation. Dempsey,
under suspension in the other 38
N. B. A. States, has Max Schmelling
and Max Baer signed for fight,
which might be held in Chicago as
a world fair attraction. Dempsey is
under N. B. A. suspension for alleged
failure to settle up for a financial pro-
motional bust at Columbus, Miss, in
1929. The association claims Dempsey
owes S1,143, although the former
heavyweight champion contends that he
did not promote the show, serving only
as referee
The N. B. A. was said to be con-
cerned over the withdrawal of the Illi-
nois Commission and Brown said the
Dempsey case could easily be straight
ened out.

TO co AFTER MILE,
60EMETER RECORDS
Both Will Have to Conquer
Array of Star Rivals to
Reach Their Goal.
BY the Associated Press.

n IEW YORK, February 23.-At
M least two of the 275 ath-
l Y letes entered in the nationa
indoor track and field
championships Saturday are aim
ing at record performances in
their events. These two are Ralph
Metcalfe, great Negro sprlnter
from Marquette University, and
Glenn Cunningham, University OF
Kansas middle distance ace.
Both were members of the United
States Olympic team last year.
Metcalfe, national champion at 10C
and 200 meters, will try to win title
and crack record at go meters, a race
usually considered too short for him
Cunningham yesterday asked perm1S-
sion of Amateur Athletic Union Off
cias to continue to the mile mark at the
end OF the 1,500-meter event in an at
tempt to shatter Gene Venzke's 4:10
record.

l. as too slow a starter to get far at
the shorter distances, but during
his Winter campaigning he has con-
founded his critics by running 10 yards
in seven seconds at the West Virginia
meet to equal the worlds record, then
clipping a tenth of second of the
accepted mark for 40 yards by run
ming the distance in 4 $40 In a dual
meet with Wisconsin.
All Metcalfe has to do now to win
the indoor title is to beat field which
includes Emmett TOPPING of New Or
leans, defending champion, who has
been beaten only once indoors; Ed Sic
gel, who scored that one victory over
Toppino Frank Wykoff, the California
comet, and a dozen or so other bril-
liant sprinters.
Cunningham's original plans called
for him to run his first three races IN
the East as tune-up performances Tor
the championships and the results
have been so pleasing to him that he
wants to take shot at the mile mark
Saturday as well as the 1,500 meter
record of 3:5325, also held by Venzke.
A mile is about 100 yards more than
the championship distance.

for a record attempt last Saturday when
he won the Baxter mile at the New
York A. C. games. But the ease with
which he captured that fixture, beat
ing Venzke for the second time, and
the 800-meter event at the Curb Ex-
change meet Tuesday had convinced
him the time was right to aim at the
standard.
Venzke, however, may have some
thing to say about this record shot.
He has been pointing for the inter-
collegiate, March 4, and should be in
better shape to defend his title this
week than he has been previously. In
addition to Venzke, Cunningham must
beat two other Penn stars. Carl Coan
and Dan Dean Eric NY, Swedish Olym-
plan; Leo Lermond,s and several other
good milers.
