TAX ON NDEADHEADS

Collection of Nominal Fee to

Ex-Champ's Plan.
BY JACK DEMPSEY.

Nho nNSEAAEo, July Ii,-INOl ~
long ago I suggested there
should be national organiZa-
49, ton to provide for doWn-and-
out boxers after they are no longer
able to fight. l point out again the
fact that fight fans are sickened by
the pathetic cases of such men as the
Jamaica Kid, Sam Langford and
others. There are many half blind
and In some cases totally blind-for-
mer fighters so handicapped because
they had to 90 on fighting when they
should have quit
Many are too proud to beg; some
beg and get little or nothing.
Since made the suggestion I have
received many letters from real sport
Ing fans asking how they may help
In the meantime I want to praise
the Veteran Boxers Association of
Philadelphia, popularly known as the
v. B. A., which is doing swell job
and just bought home. Chicago also
has such an organization
Pass Fees Suggested.
RUT until all cities have V. B. AS
funds must be raised by some set
method
I suggest a nominal fee on all COM
plimentary fight tickets at the bigger
clubs, the money to be handled by the
State commissions.
This plan worked beautifully for
eome years in Baltimore. Commission
Secretary Joe Kelly tells me How
ever. Baltimore now has relief tax.
beside Federal and State taxes on
tickets and the commission has drop
ped the plan.
New York already has Service
charge in addition to State and Fed
eral taxes on comps" This defrays
the expense of extra clerical work.
This charge is O. K, if it isn't a
racket. The service charge" on Louis
Braddock comps in Chicago was
$3.50. more than either State or Fed
eral taxes. That ran the cost of ring
side comps" up to ST, pretty ex-
pensive free ticket.
New Yorks New Plan.
THE New York Commission is con-
sidering a tax of not less than IS
cents on comps" up to 50 and not
less than so cents on higher tickets
. good move.
A suggestion that all clubs be re-
quired to run one show year and
give receipts to the National Sports
den's Jimmy Johnston and an alli-
ance official.
Jimmy feels smaller clubs shouldn't
be burdened but bigger ones should
be required to run such a show. I
agree.
I can't credit 1t, even though Kelly
and Johnston both insist that news
paper men are the only objectors to
the levies on free tickets,
Working press tickets carry no tax.
Boxing writer's I talked to said they're
not against levies, but do object to
extreme service charges"
Too High in Chicago.
AKE Chicago" one writer said,
at least $500 ringside comps
carried a $3.50 service charge mean
ing $4,000 You can get plenty of
clerical help with that kind of money"
He's right Two men could handle
the clerical work; the charge should
be only nominal.
There are about 5000 comps" for
. big title fight, and 800 for every
fairly good fight in big cities. Even a
nickel per comp per year would help
hundreds Of needy boxers. Let's see
what the commissions can do about
this.

SPORTS PARADE
.3y HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Oct 2. U.P)-"James
Joy johnston the invitation read,
requests the honor of your pres
ence at the formal opening of the
offices of the Thirtieth Century
sporting club in the Paramount
building"
So I put on my white tie, foot
ball helmet and sliding pads, and
caught cross-toWn trolley. Fifteen
minutes later 1 was caught in the
clutches of James Joy Johnston and
associates, and only men who have
been caught in the clutches of a
marauding octupus can appreciate
the sensation.
Gentlemen, I give you those rooms
in the Paramount building. when
I entered, as the nearest thing to
the Tower of Babel on New Years
night that living man has ever
seen. From door jams to window
sills it was a milling mass of oddly
assorted human beings. There were
wrestlers, fighters. managers, chiSe-
lers, novelists, sportsWriters, play
Wrights, songwriters and dozens of
gentlemen that couldn't be identi-
fled with a microscope.
There was tea, coffee, Scotch,
rye, Bourbon and Absinthe. There
was chicken. beef, tongue, ham,
and turkey sandwiches. There was
beer, and all sorts of salads There
was smoke from cigars, pipes, cigar
cites, and things burning in the
WaStebaskets.
I figured the best way for me to
get a column out of the hodge,
podge-and that's what I went for
was to take down scattered batch
es of conversation.
John O'Hara. novelist: Steinbeck's
got it, His mice and men is beauti-
full. He's screwy, though. I stay
ed few days with him in Cali
fornia and he talked like Gertrude
Stein with hangover. What? Pound
for Pound Armstrong is the best
fighter this country has seen in
ten years.
Joe Jacobs: Schmeling is very
happy. He'll flatten Louis in
heat or two next time. But I want
you to see Tony Galento. He's
nightstick, amt he2 The only man
that's licked him IS Arturo Godoy,
and that was in New York where
the rules go. I want to get him

where everything viii 60 Yeah,
knives if they want to tote 'em.
My Tony's tough.

Schumacher against Gomez. That
Hubbell's hot. I talked to Dolly
Stark yesterday. and he said that
game Hub pitched against the Phil
lies was the best game he ever

was so tired he couldn't stand up.
Yet he still beat the YankS in
the first one. Don't sell those
Giants short.
John Reed Kirkpatrick: Football
players today are better than those
of the days when I played. I was
All-America end, but 1 couldn't do
the things ends do today. In my
time no one asked me to go down
the field and take out a defensive
back. When 1 did that I was ap-
plauded. Today, if an end didn't
do that work he'd be thrown off
the squad. Everyone in sport is
faster noW-runners, jumpers, fight
ers, and WreStlers.
Jimmy Johnston: I'll give that
Jacobs and his Goth Century club
fits. In Bob Pastor I've got the
best fighter in the world. Remem-
Der that He'll be champion in a
year,
Andy Anderson: I'll stake my
reputation in Texas as a baseball
expert that Gus Mancuso is "a
better catcher than Bill Dickey.
Chorus: Holy leaping mustangs.
The tea ran out at this time so,
like a character out of Grey's Elegy,
I wandered slowly DER the Man

But II was not the defeat tnat
blasted the hopes of the Spartan
followers as much as it was the ter
rible showing made by the Spartan
varsity.
The FL CentranS made only 3S
yards from running plays and IA
yards from passes. They lost 26
yards on running plays.
GroSsmont, on the other hand.
ran roughshod over the Spartan
defense. ripping off 260 yards from
the line of scrimmage and scoring
eight first downs to one for the
Spartans.
The first half developed into a
kicking duel after the two teams
tried unsucceSsfully to advance the
ball in early minutes of play. Gross
mont. by virtue of a blocked punt,
took the advantage in this depart
ment and was ready to capitalize
on their superior play as the gun
ended the second quarter. Gross
mont had the ball on the e. Centre
one yard line as the gun sounded.
Napier didn't gain an inch all af-
ternoon as the Grossmont defense
smothered him completely. Price
picked up most OF the El Centro
yardage but his uncertainty in hand
ling the ball detracted any glory
from him.
Grossmont wasted little time in
getting under way IN the third per-
iod. After more exchanges of punts
il which GrosSmont gradually gain
ed an edge, the Foothillers launch
ed an attack from the Spartan 48
yard line.
Sommerville and Francis alternat-
ed at the ball packing post to carry
the ball to the Spartan "a yard line.
A short pass to Estrada put the ball
on the fifteenth and a second later
Francis flipped another pass to Es-
trada who tucked the pigskin under
his arm and went Is yards to the
touchdown that brought victory.

victory was even more futile than

Passes went awry, the few that
were tried, and running plays were
smothered before they got started
The game ended with Grossmont
in possession of the ball, tearing off
great hunks of yardage through a
beWildered Spartan defense.
Francis. Sommerville and Kida
played good ball for the winners
no one was outstanding for the

seven yard marker and held for
downs to avert a score and possible
defeat.

Holtville seemed doomed to tie
game with the light but scrappy
Coachella eleven.
Poor Kick Aid
But a poor kick by Granda, Goa
chella back who had played bril-
liant game on defense and offense,
put the ball in possession of Holt
vile on the Coachella 43.
Gray reeled off ten yards and
a first down on the first play on an
end run, then Miyahara dashed to
the Coachella II yard line on a re-
verse.
Gray made seven yards, CASTOR
picked up two through tackle and
CASTOR ripped off three through
guard for a first down on the Goa
chella five.
CASTOR lost six on two plays at
the center of the line as the Goa
chellans made a desperate try to
stave off defeat But a second later
Gray faded back and Tipped pass
to Woodland on the Coachella one
yard line. CASTOR went over guard
for the score on the next play.
Harris, Holtville lineman, went
into the game to kick the extra
point. He fumbled the pass from
center, then dropped the ball and
dropkicked the pigskin through the
uprights for the seventh digit.
Harlan, Woodland, Thiesen and
zumstein played steady ball in the
line for Holtville and opened many
holes for Morgan, Gray, Miyahara
and CASTOR to make possible their
