Costly Regatta Trophy
Finally Gets Here
From Canada

The $4,000 Presidents Cup,
principal speedboat trophy in the
regatta now under way on week
ends, is back in this country and
will be in the possession of local
officials within a few days.
Regatta officers spent a few
anxious weeks recently trying to
have the cup returned from Canada,
where last years winner, Harold
Wilson, took it. Because of the
war, Canada was permitting no gold
to be taken from that country, but
the red tape finally was mrsveled.
The cup now is in the possession
Of local customs authorities, but will
be given to regatta omcials as soon
as q few technicalities are cleared.

Three Grid Vets Only

PRINCETON, N. j., Sept. 17.-Tad

bottom in the past two years and
led the Tigers to the Big Three
championship last fall, has nine

big one in developing reserves.
He has come up with a varsity
that has fullbacks at guards and
ends at tackles and fullback to
offset the loss Of nine Of last years
first string and six other lettermen.
1t was familiar but still strange
looking Tiger varsity that took the
field for the first workout Satur-
day as a result of all these shifts.
A line coach for six years, Wieman
became the boss in 1888 when Fritz
Crisler left Princeton. His first
season wasn't so good, but last year
he got the Tigers roaring. They
won seven games, including crown
ing successes over Yale and Har-
ward. while losing only to Cornell.
Now Tad has only to keep them
on top Of the heap to establish him.

same time. We have done that by
juggling some of their positions.
Now we must develop reserves. If
we can do that and avoid injuries
we should have another good sea-
son. Otherwise. we're going to get
socked a few times"
Tad apparently feels pretty sure
of the success of his juggling even
though only three of the nine held
down their old assignment when
fall practive started.
He has converted Fullbacks Tom
Irwin of Germantown. Pa, and Bill
Petit of Princeton into guards and
shifted Thacher Longstreth. 207-

We've got a really sound COM

running attack needs some smooth
ing out, but our passing should be
brilliant and our kicking better than

Cornell is not on the Tigers sched-
ule this year, but the slate Is stiff
enough to lead Wieman to look
upon it as "one that will mean our
having to be primed for every game
and not alloy our pointing for any

Keorns' 30 Grand Wins
CouIifIower's Respect
By JOHN LARDNER,
Special CORRESPONDENT of The Sta

NEW YORK, Sept. II (NA.NA).
Now that the word has got
around that DR.. John Kearns, pro-
moter of fight between Max Baer
and Patrick Edward Comiskey,
really can produce the $4,000 he
has guaranteed Baer. the boys are
beginning to be interested, and the
buildup is progressing stoutly to-
ward a bloody denouement on the
night of September 26.
For 100000 says Mr.. Baer, II
don't care who I kill"
The bays step reverently aside for
DR.. Kearns whenever the man with
$780, 900 passes by. Where he got it,
they still are not sure, but they
know he has it, for the doctor un-
veiled the cash recently at a BAN
quet at which he could have charged
quarter a peek. so eager are the
citizens of Cauliflower alley to see
100000 in the flesh.
Dr.. KearnS these days has new
look of dignity and a slight list to
starboard, causing the boys to Won
der whether he actually is carrying
the stuff around with him in his
right pocket. They scarcely dare
to believe so.

Dumb DonieI's Point
Is Well Token

Is well token
mo man. says Dumb Daniel
Morgan, the leading philosopher of
the alley, would be sucker enough
to have 80 grand on him in the
kind of places that Kearns goes"
Dumb Daniels point is well taken.
The chances are that DR.. Kearns
leans to starboard from personal
choice and leaves the $4,000 under
lock and key when he goes out.
This is all the more likely in view
of the fact that the doctors con-
slant companions on the prowl are
Large Bill Duffy and Good Time
Charley Friedman, two characters
in whose bosoms the struggle be-
tween friendship and the need for
100000 forever is in progress.
The doctor knows perfectly well
that friendship will lose this battle
every time Thus, when Dr. Kearns
steps out with Large Will Duffy on
his right and Good Time Charley
Friedman on his left, you may be
pretty sure that he has left the
S30,000 behind. The doctor was not
born yesterday, or even the day
before that.
In case you do not follow ebb and
flow Of larceny in this country. good
time Charley Friedman is the man
who imported Primo Carnera from
Europe. while Mr. Duffy is the man
who, with little cooperation here
and there. made Primo a champion.
Good Polls If BonkroII
Is Left at Home
Since hardly law of God or man
went unbroken during the develop
ment of Camera, Mr.. Friedman and
Mr.. Duffy are men of well-rounded
character. They also are very good
company, if, like DR.. Kearns, you
leave the bankroll at home.
It's a sign OF the times when the
doctor can stop the show wherever
he goes by the mere possession Of
S3o, 900. Time was when DR.. Kearns
would tip deputy sheriff $50 900.
In the great days of Jack Dempsey,
whom the doctor managed with sig
nal success. the doctors cut on sim
gle fight often was in excess of $780,
600. and he strewed the wampum
around like rose petals.
If there's one thing a fight man
seer learns, however, it's to take the
lean with the fat. The Dempsey
Carpenter fight was a soft touch,
but in the case of the Dempsey
Gibbons fight, DR.. Kearns had to
face lynchers and six-guns to get
very modest amount of loot out of
Shelby, Montana. It rebounds to
his credit that he gave fully as much
of his effort and genius to the
chicken feed OF Shelby as he did to
the gravy of Boyles Thirty Acres.
Mike Jacobs Is Reody
To Make Chonge
He will hustle as hard for a buck
as a 10-spot, and that is the test of
character in Caulifower alley.
Since he struck pay dirt again, DR..
Kearns and his 80 grand are the
talk Of the profession. Even Uncle
1NllhC OdCODS- GilC duSC VI OOh1llS
and a rival promoter, admits to
mild interest in the doctors new
poke.
ANY time he wants to make
change, my cashiers will be de-
lighted to oblige," says Mr.. Jacobs,
with kindly click of his store teeth.
To this offer. the doctor strangely
Is aloof. 1t may be owing to the
advice of Mr.. Large Bill Duffy. his
loyal counselor, who, with his spon-
sor, Mr.. Owney Madden. actually
was stung by Mr.. Jacobs in little
business deal not long ago. Dr.
