JOHNSON READY
FOR lands

CHICAGO, May 30.-"No, 1
have not resigned, and they can
fire me if they will, but I would
do the same thing a thousand
times because deep in my heart
I know I'm right"
Smiling and with an unfaltering
voice Walter Johnson, manager OF
the Cleveland club Of the Amer
lean League, thus commented to-
day on his action in firing Catcher
Glenn Wyatt and Willie Kamm,
veteran infielder.
johnson said he had not been
advised to appear before Com
missioner K. M. Lands on Friday
when Kamm will place his case be-
fore baSeball'S dictator.
He also said he had not been in
formed that President Alva Brad
ley of the Cleveland club had an
nounced he would discharge John
son if Judge Lands upheld Kamm.
johnson charged that Kamm
was affecting the play of his
young players with suggestions
and advice. "Myatt. he said, was
already through as an active
player.
I'D welcome a talk with Judge
LandiS," said the Indians pilot.
"When 1 tell him my story am
pretty sure he will side with me-"
Judge Lands declined to COM
nnent.

PARTNERS
BAER'S NEED,
SAYS JACK

ASBURY PARK, N. j., May 80
Jack Dempsey watched Max Baer
go through an eight-round drill
for his June 10 engagement with
Jimmy Braddock in Madison
Square Garden Bowl, wagged his
head dolefully, and said:
Lack of good sparring part
ners is liable to cost that guy
his title as champion of the
world. He works hard, but he
doesn't work right. Except for
Dynamite Jackson, he hasn't a
good man on his staff. He hits
the other fellows, hurts them
and pulls up. That's no way
to do. He's a man whose sue
cess depends upon punching
power and there he is, tossing
one or two, then grabbing and
holding up his men until they
recover.
you've got to get good SPAR
ring partners for him." Demp-
said to AnCil Hoffman, the title
holders manager.
They're hard to get" replied
Hoffman.
"They were hard to get in my
time, but got them" returned
Dempsey. II guess i had more
sparring partners than anybody
else. 1 was a puncher. / got
men in there who would let me
sting them. If they could take
it, they got good pay. If they
didn't, they lost out and some
body else came in to take their
places.
"Baer isn't Glowing as much
this year as he did when train
ing for Camera in 1884. He
looks strong, but he needs plenty
of work to tighten him right.
But most important of all, he
needs practice in punching.
And that's what he isn't getting.
"ThOse fellows aren't even
giving him defensive practice.
They get on a bicycle when they
get in and it's a game of chase
me. All Baer is doing is devel-
Oping his sprinting. He's get
ting no chance to sharpen up
his craftsmanship or test out
punches. Failing in that the
rest of the way ON this training
siege, and he'll be q man going
in there who won't be ready"

Tech Highs Rifle
Team Beat Western

Through an error the Washing.
ton Herald and two other local
newspapers repo rted Saturday
that Western Highs rifle team
won over Mckinley Tech, 1876 to
1855. The outcome was just the
opposite published reports. Tech
was the winner.
The Washington times., 1935-05-30

AS for Pop" Foster. he's very
good manager and a very bad
sport. His behavior was that of
a man who expected McLarnin to
blow the welterweight champion
ship to Barney Ross and was look
ing for somebody to take the fall.
But 1 refuse to do it," said
Jack Dempsey today with con-
siderable vigOr, as he sat in his
restaurant and reviewed the
Ross McLarnin brawI, of which
he was referee. "FOster and 1
have been friends for years, but
1 draw the line when he pre-
sumes to make me look bad in
front of 10000 people just to
get in an alibi.
"He knew our friendship
could have no bearing on my
attitude in the ring. He knew
very we'll how 1 felt about Nc
Larnin; he's one of the finest
boys I've ever known, a credit to
boxing. Yet Foster got up there
in front of q lot of people and
suggested in every way possible
that was liable to be biased
in favor Of the other side.
TRIED TO REFUSE JOB
"Why, there just is no price
on my prejudice. But 1 would
have cheerfully given a thOus-
and dollars not to be in there.
1 tried to refuse the job when
the Boxing Commission asked
me to take it. Later 1 offered
to step out when Foster made
his Squawk."
The Squawk in question came
just before the gloves were ad-
justed on Tuesday night, the
statement being loudly made that
Dempsey would be influenced by
the fact that his friend, Abe Ly-
man, the orchestra man, had bet
heavily on Ross and that he,
Dempsey, had clearly shown his
leanings by hanging around the
Ross camp" while never coming
near McLarnin.
The fact of the matter is, &C.
cording to Dempsey, that he spent
one hour at the Ross camp, ex.
pecting to do the same with Nc
Larnin the next day. Instead, a
slight illness caused him to re-
ceive a visit from his doctor.
why" said he, II feel silly
even explaining things like
this. Everybody, including
Foster, knows how 1 stand as
between one fight or another.
When I'm in the middle of the
ring, stand strictly for Jack
Dempsey's reputation"
HAD JIMMY AHEAD
His score sheet, he said, had
McLarnin in front at the enc
of IL rounds although, uncon
SciouSly, he admitted that this
was altogether a fair estimate
Of the situation.
II called seven rounds even,"
he explained, land no fight
has seven even rounds. That
old guy just had me leaning
over backward on his fighter.
His fighter. to be blunt about
it. has lost the hop on his
punch and nobody can give
that back to him. As for Ross,
I'd say he was slowed up q
little by the weight or the
fight wouldn't have been close
At al
AN Barney punched too
much ~ the head and not
enough to the body. He was
knocked crazy after the second
rOund-but I'll have to say this
about him:
"He punches not only too
hard but too fast foe the Nc
Larnin Of today and all the
officials in the world can't
change that"

therefore, that six weeks will

Investment Is Idle
The financial hazards of base
ball are we'll emphasized in this
case. The ball clubs invest
ment is not working while New
som, or any other injured man,
is on the shelf.
His salary goes on. Remem-
Der that he got a raise when
he signed with Washington.
His radio income in st. Louis
was also equalized by the local
club by way of an adjustment"
But the monetary and health
risks are not the only Specula-
tions entailed where players
= are concerned, Their success
or failure as players is also an
important unknown quantity,
all of which chances the club
assumes and which are often
not realized by adherents Of
the sport.
In the case of Newsom, he
was a definite attraction at
the gate. His magnetism at
the turnstiles will not operate
for another month at the in
side. A month represents prac-
tically a fifth of the season.
So when you say that baseball
is a terrific gamble, you are
saying only part of the truth.
In such respects as the New
som injury, baseball looks al
most foolhardy from an invest
ment standpoint, Ell?

British Air
 Force Record
 Good In 1884
tBy The Associated Press)

tBy The Associated Press)
 LONDON, March - British Royal Air Force airplanes flew about A. 900 miles in 1884.
 This estimate, authOritatively stat ed to be a conservative one, creates a record for postwar service flying. The previous highest mileage was 44000,000 miles in 1883. In 1921 when the Royal Air Force was about one-third of it's present size the ma chimes flew only about one-tenth of the distance flown in 1884.
 The 93 squadrons of the service sustained l9 fatal accidents in the year, involving 28 deaths. In 1921, when the strength of the force was only 33 squadrons, there were 22 fatal accidents and 37 deaths. The worst year for British military aV- iation since the war has been 1926. when 61 squadrons suffered 54 fatal accidents and deaths.
 The number of fatal accidents in to flying hour has also decreased tremendously. Every 2,238 hours of flying in 1921 was attended by a death, but in 1884 there was only one death to every 12O0O hours.

Cocktail Hour" Modern Girls
 Slant On Love

Suppose a young woman to be entirely alone in the world, with no one in any way depending upon her. l Suppose her to be independently wealthy, through her own ability as an illustrator and poster artist. Suppose her to be modern in her ideas and beliefs. and rebellious against the creed that every girl is destined for matrimony and mother hood, and these things alone. I Is such young woman right or wrong in contending that she has just as much privilege as a man has. to taste life to the fullest. without marriage?
 That is the interesting and debat- able theme of Cocktail Hour" a Columbia feature picture which opens at the Dream Theatre, Tues day night, March 12, With Bebe Daniels as it's star And it is devel- oped in a fascinating way by Direc- tor Victor Schertzinger.
 Miss Daniels is Cynthia Warren. who makes $60,O0O a year through painting advertising posters Randy Morgan. who buys them from her, wants to marry her So. too does a charming young French Prince. A dozen other eligibles are at her feet. But. no! Cynthia clings to her own theory of freedom and starts for Europe to test it out.
 The romance of the sea, the moon. soft music, have their way with her. She enters upon an ardent affair with William Lawton, a fascinating EngliShman.. She is supremely happy until she discovers Lawton to be rotter.. He has concealed from her the fact he is married. He laughs over his easy conquest.
 She goes to Paris, becomes the guest of the young Prince and his mother; Lawton follows. tries to force himself upon her In a fight with the Prince, he is thrown from window and apparently killed. Cynthia makes the Prince run away She is arrested and shoulders the blame.
 But the Prince returns, shoulders the responsibility-and then the faithful Randy Morgan, who has followed on the next ship, appears. He stands by Cynthia. But Lawton recovers from the fall and accuses no one
 Cynthia disillusioned and bitter. tries to flee from Morgan, but he insists upon marriage, even though he knows all about LaWton. Gym thia admits the old code for women is the right one.
 Cocktail Hour" is a photoplay which can be sincerely recommend ed It is sparkingly gay, yet has a note of pathos; beautifully mounted and very capably acted. Women will go into raves over the beautiful costumes worn by Bebe Daniels and Murel Kirkland.
