LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 17.—Jack Dempsey will ab- dicate the heavyweight box- ing throne next June and set up housekeeping as the hus- band of Estelle Taylor, mo- tion picture actress, whom he now serves as business manager and publicity man, the ring champion admitted here last night. Who will pick up the crown when he drops it will have to be decided Dempsey said, but hls personal choice would be Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul. “He's a good clean fellow and he's white,” was the way the champion described his possible ‘successor. Regardless of who wears the cloak of ring supremacy, next, however, Dempsey is sure that ho is going to let it fall from his shoulders on his wedding day. « “And when I'm through, I am through. There'll be no re-entry into the ring once I step out,” he declared. Rumor has talked largely of the approaching marriage of Dempsey and Miss Taylor for several months, but until yesterday the two had been reticent about officially admit.

PAUL, Minn., Jan. Should Jack Dempsey, world’s heavywelght boxing champion, re- 'e from the ring next May or June without again defending his title, Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul will claim that honor, Gibbons said last night, Gibbons declared his record, which includes a 15-round fight with Demp- sey at Shelby, Montana, July 4, 1923, in which he stayed the limit with the champion, entitled him to first consideration for the highest crown, A return match with Dempsey is being sought by Gibbons, but neégotl- ations thus far have been unsuccess- ful. Gibbons has registered a chal: lenge and posted a forfett with the New York Boxing commission for another bout with Dempsey. Refusal qf other leading heavy: weights, including Harry Wills and Jack Renault, to meet him, were pointed to by Tommy as strengthen: ing his bid for the title in the event the champion reti TIGER FLOWERS PASSES QUT IN SECOND ROUND FROM DELANEY’S.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17,—(By The Associated Press)—The old maxim, “uneasy ia the head that wears a crown," fits neatly into the 1935 golf picture, with holders of the six ma- jor championsh{ps—open, amateur and women's titles of Great Britain and America—facing stirring fights to retain their laurels, } Bobby Jones, the Atlanta wizard, who won the national amateur title last year, appears the oat. 2! to keep’ his honors wher the amateur clan gathers at Pittsburgh.

LET GRIDIRON RULES ALONE, SAYS GETTY By FRANK GETTY, (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Jan. @7.—(Unitea Press).—The game of football was on another. kind .of gridiron hore recently When coaches and athletic officials from colleges and univer: ities in all parts of the United States met fn the nineteenth annual gession-of the National Athletic as- soclation. The griddling was a mild one, however, and football] as played in 1924 received a general and enthu- siastic O. 1K, That there will be no Mmportant changes in the game this coming fall is welcome news to epectators, A few years ago, it seemed as though nothing in football was as constant change. Everything was subject to rejiggering except the general shape of the field. Football is a good game, the best of college sports, and deserves to be let alone. ‘Thoso whose academic inclinatfons tend towards monkey- ing with the rules each season should consider that only three changes have been made by the British in cricket, their national game, in the past 50 yoars. One resolution which was adopted, although it has nothing to do .with the playing of the game, will find wholehearted approval everywhere. Officials of the N. C, A. A. went on record as opposing the use of any type of photography in football scouting. Professor James P. Richardson, of Dartmouth, who {n- troduced the resolution condemning the practice, did some preliminary scouting on his own during the 1924 season, and discovered that two col- leges were using moving pictures of prospective opponents in action to train their own teams. Seven institutions used still photographs and officials at six others said they would if the practice became gen eral. There are two sides to this que: tion. At first glance, it seems un worthy of the spirit of football, which {s clean. But, it may be asked, is there a great deal of diff. erence between showing © squad pictures of the team {t has to meet and having a coach tell his men about thelr opponents? Is_ there more virtue in studying the forma- tions of an adversary with the aid of a carefully instructed ‘“‘serub’ team than in watching a film of said formations? Digressing just a moment, Young Corbett once said that he whipped Terrible Terry McGovern through having studied the latter's style in a motion picture theater. If the practice of scouting is to be upheld at all, why limit-it? The big universities often send, their quarterbacks to ‘watch mid-season games of their principal opponents, Is this more virtuous than watch- ing a film of the same game? Many of those who finally voted for the resolution thought the association we making # mountain out of a mole-hill But here's why it's important. Anything that tends to make foot- ball other than a contest of strength and skill between two teams of 11 college boys should be suppressed rigorously sectched as a first sign of the dread plague of conimerclal- ism. What with = football drawing crowds of 75,000 and 80,000, and usurping the Saturday afternoons of some two milion and more Américans, there ix a serious dan- ger from commesclaiism — against its own sake would do well to be on their guard. Stadiums and coaches cost money, and so, in a few isolat- ed instances, do football stars. Verbum. sap. Just. becatine - the. use of photography in scouting is a step m the wrong direction is the chief reason why it is to be hoped that universities and colleges live up, in 1925, to the spirit and letter of the resolution of the N.C, A.

He is Lioyd Waner, brother of the doughty Paul, . Rumors had been cireulating for some time that there was a second Waner in Oklahoma who could bat even better than Brother Paul, who went tu the coast unheralded and promptly set that part of the coun: try on fire by Nis batting. The scouts get on the trail immediately but the San Francisco men got to Lloyd first. More good ball players have been coming out of Oklahoma recently than from any’ state in the south- west, and Lloyd Waner, if reports be true, is one of the best of them. He will report at the San Francisco training camp at Fresno on Febru ary 16 At Ada, Okla, there is a local ex pert on baseball beginners. He pharmacist by profession, but those who know, him say his baseball knowledge a nd intuition would have made him a fine scout.
