SPORTS By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) Prosperity, as it has been applied to sports over the past five yeais, is not confined by any means to professional activities. If anything, in fact, the prosperous progress in amateur sports, es- pecially college athletics, golf and tennis, has been more consistent than that ssurrounding the more highly commercialized businesses of basebali and boxing. Five years ago, the boom era about to dawn, few colleges, even the larger ones, had such stadia as they boast today to handle the im- mense crowds that turn out for football. In these five years it is es- timated that the nation-wide attendance at football games each fall has increased from 10,000,000 to 30,000,000 with consequent astonishing in- crease in gate receipts. There is scarcely a college of any consequence now, whose entire athletic program is not financed by the receipts from football. Yale in two straight years, has taken in over $1,000,000. Pennsylvania' receipts from all sports, but principally football, have passed the same | figure. Michigan, Ohio State, Illinois and other Big Ten schools, as! well as the larger far western institutions like Stanford, U. 8. C. and’ California, also are in the “big money” class when it comes to sports; profits. Golf entered 1929 with the U. S. G. A. announcing the biggest sur- plus it has ever had, one result of which is to more than double the prize money for this year’s open championship. Tennis, which even five years ago, had somewhat of a struggle making ends meet, has just witnessed the distribution of a “melon” by the U. 8. L. T. A. to its various district associations for the development of the game. The big Forest Hills stadium, considered a “white ele- phant” when it was raised, has been a success. Five years ago the tennis association’s -activities.were directed by a | “field secretary” who had a small and obscure downtown office in New York. Now the multifarious activities of the organization are in charge of an executive secretary, Edward B. Moss, formér general sports editor of The Associated Press, who has large quarters in one of the biggest office buildings in New York and a corps of aides. It is significant that the astonishing strides in popularity, and companion profits, in amateur sports have been linked in the five-year span with a group of the most notable individual figures of all time. Whatever else may be said of Big Bill Tilden, no one gainsays the remarkable influence he has had in popularizing the game. Golf’s increasing hold on public interest has been even more amaz- ing, no small part of which may be attributed to the rise of Bobby | Jones as a popular figure and idol. Some part of this situation may be gauged by the knowledge that a newspaper syndicate pays Jones $25,000 annually for a series of articles, twice as much Tilden was, reported to receive for similar work, a few years ago when he rode on the tennis crest. Red Grange contributed unusual impetus to football as he complet- ed his flaming career for Illinois a few years ago. The famous red- head drew thousands to the gridiron sport who had previously per- haps had little sentimental or general interest in the game. Paavo Nurmi brought a personality to track athletics that was quick- ' ly translated into record-breaking gate receipts on his first visit to the United States in 1925. Clubs that had been running their meets at a loss for years recuperated, as swiftly as the Phantom Finn traveled around the boards. Last year with Paavo as one of the main drawing cards, little Hol- land showed the rest of the world how to make money 6ut of the Olympic Games. Mr. and Mrs. A. J.

JACK DEMPSEY MAIN MYSTERY | IN FIGHT GAME Interest Centers in Maul- er's Future, Whether to Fight or Not MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March 1.— The main mystery in the boxing business, if not the success of the whole heavyweight program for 11929 still revolves around the dyn- amic figure of the one-time mauler, |Jack Dempsey. | The fight crowd that came here left apparently more interested in whether Dempsey will fight again than what happens next to either Sharkey or Stribling. Dempsey would like to fight again, first because he loves the cuffing game and sccond because {1t would afford him a chance to re- gain the title and retire at least $500,000 richer. Dempsey said: “I do not know, honesily, what I will do. It is hard P away from the game. It but I know I am no spring :cthen any, more. When I get |back to New ‘¥ork, I will decide. ;what I am going to do, fight or re- imain a business man.” i — - BENEFIT GOODY SALE Saturday, March 9.
