the report is that the greatest of

much as it still leaves the prob
lem of profit, becomes involved
with politics, tends to encourage,
rather than to discourage, over
drinking.
On the burning subject of
liquor taxes, the report recon-
meuds that the tax rate should

these greats complied with his
mo loafing" orders. There was
something brutally arrogant in his
methods but few dared resent it.
AS head of the New. York state
boxing commission, Muldoon had
muchto do with the popularization
of the sport. His insistence on
clean play, his passionate interest
in boxing as such, forced fighters
and managers to a recognition of
his principles of sportsmanship.
Gene Tunney owed much of his
success as fighter to Muldoon's
advice.
1T is a fine thing for boxing"
the grazing old man said after the
Dempsey-Tu fight at Philadel-
phia, that we have a mon of the
type of Gene Tunney."
This was his formula for leader
ship:
Courage, tenacity, a willingness
to take punishment in order to give
punishment-that's what makes a
champion"
Never Married
Muldoon never married but he
was always chivalrous where the
fair sex was concerned. He ad-
mired Helen Wills because "of the
quiet way she went into sports. :"
His philosophy concerning women
was expressed in small placard
that hung in his office. 1t read:
do right-and fear no man.
Don't write and fear no wom-
an"
Like other great men, the Iron
Duke had his idiosyncracies. He
had an aversion to nicotine. He
enforced no-smoking edict at
boxing bouts. He never hesitated
to tell sports writer's who reported
meetings of the boxing commission
to douse their cigarets.
Perhaps one of the most spec
tacular events of his career was the
dinner given in his honor on his
saith birthday. The dinner cost $86
per plate and attracted approx
mately 700 leaders in the world of
sports, art and business.
On the occasion of this birthday
an interviewer asked for a return
visit the next year. Muldoon told
the reporter he considered himself
too young to submit to yearly
interviews and made an appoint
ment for Is years later when he
would have been 100 years old.
