BY FAIR PLAY (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—Dempsey out in California, should hire some bright secretary who can interpret press dispatches for him. Or else he should subseribe for some terse, accurate source of in- formation and get his news from the eastern battle front in accordance with actual facts. From the champlon’s latest com- munique, it would appear that he is under the {mpression that the New Tork State athletic commission has barred a Dempsey-Wills fight within the limits of New York state. This as a punishment to Jack for his sins. So, accepting this as a fact, the title-holder delivers several of his well known hooks at the boxing commission and thus bids fair to complicate a situation already com- plicated, Now the New York commission has not barred the Dempsey-Wills meet, so far as the Empire State is concerned. Certainly it has not, The boxing body has done some foolish things, but mever anything: so °foo! ish as that. Think of tossing the greatest bat- tle of seventeen centuries to a sis- ter state, to New Jersey, for ex- ample! You can not think of it, can not imagine it. Jersey has had one battle of the century and unless heavy political reasons against the fight developed no loyal New Yorker would relish the thought of handing the province across the Hudson another one. New York is not in the habit of handing big money to some-one else. Triends of Dempsey who have be- Meved he never would fight again are beginning to believe that the champion {s really steaming himself up to a bout and that Rickard, in his justly celebrated wisdom, is help- ing along the steaming process. fe SE SPORT BRIEFS LOS ANGELES, Calif—A match was made between Eddie Huffman, light heavyweight, and Young Bob Fitzsimmons, son of the former heavyweight champion, at San Fran. cisco September OHICAGO,—The University of Chicago baseball team left for a tour of Japan, SAN FRANCISCO.—Frank Mus- kie, St. Paul, won a technical knock- out over Young Franklin, Oakland heavyweight, in the fifth round.
