Appointment of Carey Cuts Dempsey Ou Chicago White Sox Rely on | They’re New Pedal Champs MANASSA MAULER ~ STAGES FIGHT FOR MILLER, MANDELL | Madison Square Cannot Afford to Retain Dempsey at Present Prices OTHER HOOKUP LOOKED FOR Former Champion Co: ‘ers With Humbert Fugazy and Floyd Fitzsimmons New York, March 19—()—Activ- ities of Jack Dempsey and the Mad- ison Square Garden corporation in promotion of fights were on different paths today. An hour after Dempsey had made public plans for a lightweight titular battle between Sammy Mandell, the champion, and Ray Miller, Chicago contender, under his sole direction, the garden, through Richard F. Hoyt, chairman of the board, announced that William F. Carey was to be chosen president of the corporation in succession to the late Tex Rick- ard. In the Garden's reorganization plan, Dempsey will have no place. The corporation is extremely friendly | to the former cl.ampion and perhaps will be eager to have his cooperation on some of its future fights. But it is not ready, now at least, to mect Dempsey’s financial dematds for aligning himself permanently with the organization that Rickard built. Dempsey is debating terms with Humbert Fugazy, metropolitan pro- moter. They conferred yesterday. Later Jack came out with his plans for the Miller-Mandell battle either in Detroit or New York on or about June 7. Beyond getting both Mandell and Miller to agree to the match Jack's plans apparently have not progressed beyond the early stages. It was generally thought that either Floyd Fitzsimmons or Fugazy would be associated with Dempsey when fight time rolls around. Fitzsimmons and Dempse~ are close friends and have tentatively agreed to promote |, boxing and racing in Detroit. 2 For several years before P.ickard’s death Carey was the guiding genius behind the business end of the cor- poration’s activities. He was the con- tractor who built the new Madison Square Garden. BASEBALL.

Bill Cox Appears Burnt-Out Runner New York, March 19.—In Bill Cox, the Penn State runner, is offered one of the strangest reversals of form in track history. As a sophomore during the 1926- 1927 season, Cox speeded to victory in the intercollegiate cross-country race and the indoor and outdoor mile championships. These three victories caused track | followers to’ predict great things for Cox, especially when he repeated his Cross-country victory and his indoor mile win in the 1927-1928 season. But Something happened after that—and today Cox is without a single one of the three titles he won in his sopho- more year. He was beaten in the outdoor mile last year at Harvard, lost out in the cross-country race this winter and only recently bowed in defeat in the indoor mile championships. Cox is believed to be burned out from competition. He made the 1924 Olympic while yet a schoolboy and has been running steadily ever since. He wasn’t even in the running at the Olympic trials last summer. 40 Teams to Enter National Tourney Chicago, March 19.—(P)—A galaxy of 40 prep school basketball teams will vie for national honors April 2-6 in the eleventh national interscholastic tournament at the University of Chi- cago.
