JACK CREDIT CHALLENGER DECLARES, Has Lived Clean and Hon SPORTS. TO SPORT, orable Life Since Becom- ing Champion and Has Never Dodged a Logical Rival for Crown, Says Gene. BY GENE O matter how our battle termi on record now as saying: “Through all the year TUNNEY. nates on September 23 1 want to go rs that Jack Dempsey has been champion he has been a credit to the game.” And that statement is said not as “sportsmanship praise” stuff, but bec 1 gelim, in face of all the jeering ar endure, that he is one of those fellows than sinning.” Every man who has held the championship has had a rather rough ! time of it. I guess that goes with the job and makes good the old saying | 1bout “uneasy lies the head that wears a sop to Dempsey, not as any of the ause | think just that—and because nd hooting that Dempsey has had to who have been “more sinned against the crown.” They've all been hooted at and jeered at and called “cowards” and been sued, right straight along from John L. Sullivan’s time. But Dempsey is an exception in the fact that ever since he has been champlon he has lived clean and hon- orably. He does not drink, and so he never disgraced | his profession by | drunkenness. He | is not quarrel- H some outside the | Thatigh thars have though t ve ween a hundred |, | provocations, he 10 never has figured in & brawl of any sort. Even his bitterest enemies cannot deny that. Dempsey never has gone on wild orgles; he has never been a rounder. Nor has he pose, or swag- gered around. Dis- like Dempsey, if you will, you can't take from him the credit that he has conducted himself in a way that never has brought reproach upon him or his profession while he has been cham- pion. GENE TUNNEY. Willing to Fight. And you can't take from Dempsey the fact that he has been an active champion, so far as opportunity per- | mitted. He fought Miske, Rrfln\«n_" Carpentier, Gibbons and Firpo, ail within four vears of becoming cham- | plon. That's a record for activity just about as good as—if not better | than—most of the other champions. The only thing that kept Dempsey from doing more fighting was that | couldn’t. He signed up to give Bren- | nan another shot—and that bout was killed off. He was ready to give Wil- lard a return match, when Jess was doing his comeback. But Firpo knock- ed off Jess. He wanted to fight Firpo a second time, because Firpo and the public demanded the match. But before it could be arranged Firpo was through. Gibbons was another show Demp- mey didn’'t duck—even Dempsey's ene- mies know that. He signed to meet him, but Tex Rickard finally decided against such a show—and that was off. Beyond that group—and Wills— there was no one regarded in Demp- sey's class through 1923, 1924 and 19: Floyd Johnson and Jack Renault made a flash for a while, and Demp- rey said he'd take them on. But be- fore they arrived at a point where thpy looked like logical contenders they began to skid backward—and now are out of the picture. Never Dodged Wills. Tt's always seemed to me like real unfairness and distortion of truth “to say that Dempsey has dodged Wills. The whole world knows that when Wills fired his first formal challenge in 1922 Dempsey legally accepted. But word was passed that the bout could not. be put on that year. Dempsey was agreeable to meeting Wills in 1923. But early’ in that year the New York Boxing Commission placed the ban on all heavyweight bouts. And | that wasn't Dempsey's fault. When the ban was finally -lifted Dempsey was still agreeable to fight- ing Wills. He waited through 1923, 1924 and 1925 for some one in New York to make a real offer for the Bout. Nobody did. So Dempsey, still showing that he wasn't afrald of Wills, but exhibiting an eagerness to fight him, signed up last Fall to meet him for a Western promoter. Dempsey didn’t get a dime as ad vance payment or honus money. That shows he figured the fight nd go through and that he'd get his money that way. Wills demanded—and got-—— according to his own admission, £50 000 or 0. And that match “blew” be- | ~ause the promoters, through no fault | of Dempsey's, failed to make good on thelr obligations. | Aren’t all those facts proof conclu- | ive that Dempsey, during all the days | of his champlonship, never ducked or dodged any fighters? So why throw bricks at him? I don't think he's a marvelous champion: T feel certain T'lt knock him out. But that doesn't alter the fact that Dempsey has heen game enough to meet every man the public demanded he should meet. Ready to Risk Title. T dldn’t figure very largely in thed pleture through 1922, 1923 and into 1924. T've made my real | through the past two vears. ord. supported by public demand, made me a logical opponent for Demp- | mey. When I challenged he didn't luck, even though I looked so tough to Wills that he ducked me. Demp- ®ey accepted. And that's the final proof, isn’t it, that Dempsey is ever willing to risk his title” T have written these thoughts of mine concerning Dempsey simply be- cause I think this array of real facts concerning him is something that he deserves. I think he has been a credit & champion by the life he has led outslde the ring and that he has proved through his seven years as! titleholder that he has not—and never will—deprive any man with a good record a chance at his crown. It's all well enough to ‘razz’ Dempsey’s ring ability if you think that way: it's legitimate to say he's an overrated puncher, that he doesn't know the basic principles of scien- tific defense and that he's a boob for a good right-handed puncher. And it's ! ©. K. to comment on the fact that he's | been a lucky champion. But it doesn’t strike me as fair nor sportsmanlike to say that he hasn't lived cleanly and sanely or that he hasn't fought when- ever ha could fight. And 8o, boys, just before I knock his block off and bump him forever from the fistic throne, how about a few cheers for this fellow, who never did a thing since he became cham- pion to disgrace that championship-— and who never feared to meet any liv ing man that the public ehould meet?

TWO DRAWN FIGHTS IN CITY CLUB SHOW| Both the main bout and the semi- windup last night in the City Club’s first open-air boxing show at Beaver Dam resulted in drawn contests. Tex Stovall and Bud Nolan fought on even terms throughout the eight- rounder thaf topped the eard. and Johnny "Meyers held Hal Stevenson even in the six-round semi-final. Two technical knockouts were registered. Emil Aganeldo stopped Bill Lewis in the first round of the opening scrap, while Kid Woody needed only two rounds to whip | Eddie Jeter. Bill Blott outpointed Joe Filla in four rounds, Buster Dundee trimmed Sammy Hogan in six, and Johnny Walker boxed a four-round draw | with Sammy Walker. . DEMPSEY GETS LICENSE.

I guess one or two of the boys tumbled, for they had stories of the mysterious Senor Colorado and his interpreter, Ladura. Just_the same, they worked the necessary charm on Cochran and Brady. They weren't going to be jammed up in a bidding contest. They talked it over seriously when they saw me shake hands with the Cubans. Up to this time there had not been a single word mentioned as to what 1 was going to ask for Dempsey. ' I guess they dreaded to ask. I wasn't_going to ask less than Georges was. His guarantee in this case was now $1 tain. for losing the title to Dempsey. oing to get. That was cer- ,000 more than Willard got Everybody began to ask what Dempsey was going to get.

I'm going to take $300,000.” Rickard turned to me and opened up. “Kearns,” he began, “we're all smoking hop. Who in heaven’s name could ever guarantee two fighters $500,0007 You couldn't guarantee Napoleon and Wellington that much if they were to come back to earth and do_ Waterloo all over again. Come off vour high horse, Kearns. Rickard Is Skeptical. “No fight ever drew that much money, much less guaranteeing it to the fighters. I've put on several big bouts and the expenses run into too much money. I can't see how we could ever get out without being sunk. It's a loss before you start.” “Tll get Carpentier to put up 50,000 and the champ will put up the same amount. You're fortified inst non-apeparance, to begin with. 1 I'll ask you fellows to do is to put up_Carpentier's forfeit.” That brought the cold sweat out @n Cochran. I saw he was cooled out to nothing on his part of the bargain. He was safe so far, as he hadn't put up a dime, and he wasn't going to, from the looks of things. Brady cooled out with him. It didn’t look like a good gamble to them, and that forfeit weakened them. In s' time they were to put it up. \When the time came, Cochran was on his w to England. Carpentier had delayed sailing, but was about to leave a few days after Cichran. Brady finally called it quits and said that Cochran had cabled him his withdrawal as well. That left the whole shooting match up to Rickard He told me plainly that it would cost him close to a million to put the fight- ers into the rin 1 told him to dig up his angels and gamble. And h He was game about it. Our fondest hopes for a gate didn't seem to strike anybody as coming any high- er than $700,000. With an arena to build, Tex did not seem out on the limb, but he finally declared that he'd gamble and go it alone. Turns Out All Right. He won on the chance. The bout drew $1,626,580 and he had a profit of $150,000 for himself after spending $450,000 for the bowl in Jersey Cif There were other expenses. He didn't make all of the $150,000, either. I understand that it went three ways, John Ringling having a piece of it. The fight's possibilities fooled us all. Three months before it came off Rick insisted he!,rd predicted that the gate would be ' between $700,000 and $800.000. Rickard stood to lose a fortune for himself and his backers. It was th biggest gamble any promoter has ever taken or ever will take again. T guess. Personally, I didn't have the least doubt of it making money. It was a natural. one of the few-that the ring has ever had. A lot of wise birds say that T made a had mateh and that I should have gsambled on a percentage basis, Why? Had anybody ever dreamed of a cham- plon getting a guarantee of $300,000 up to that time? It looked like T was stealing money, didn’t 1t? T say it fooled everybody. It became a gigan- tic international affair, spondents from every quarter of the globo at the ringside. There were more newspaper men in the four or five rows given them than there are spectators at some fights. Dempsey Is Satisfied. I was satisfled and Dempsey was, too. He didn’t think there was that kind of money loose. We were fight- ing a fellow a bit passe and what we got was sweet. Dempsey was well pald for his part of it and we had no kick coming. If T had gambled on percentage—the 85 per cent that was offered me—I would have picked up an extra $300,- 000, but with a guarantee of $300,000 in our mitts why take a gamble. We did well, quite well. It cost me a fortune to entertain friends and anybody that would do the show ahy good after we got start- { ed at Atlantic City on our training. 1 knew Dempsey was unpopular. The old mob was ready to kick him around and the American Legion had made bitter attacks on him. Why they even threatened to tear the American colors off of Dempsey if he wore them into the ring against the Frenchman. He wore them, just the same, as any American citizen {s entitled to. No fighter ever received the recep- tion Carpenteir got that day against what they gave our own champion. It was the fight that restored Demp- sey to popularity. He swayed a hos- tile mob to him with his great fight, and when he shook off George's big punch in the second round they were for him. y couldn't help stuff sank out of sight and th <imply had to cheer for their own. | Publicity Gets Results. | I want to say right here that it wasn't the two fighters that drew {them in as much as it was the press and the ballyhoo. & No fight ever got as much. Bally- hoo makes a fight, It can kill it, too, if it isn't there. When Carpentier went to Manhas- set. Long Island, just outside New York City, to train and bulld a barbed wire fence around his quarters that came in for & lot of left-handed bally- hooing. The scribes were sore, and the more they panned the higher Georges built the wire fences. His | exclusiveness was fuel for flaming | hends and blistering cartoors, but the vhoo was there, just the same. i There was just enough of the mystery !about the fellow to whet the public | ppetite. It was well done, | The days that he barred the scribes out of his camp the fight got reams bout {t-—mostly hollers from the boys { who traveled down-there to see him work. He had certain days for the writers and then he talked to them from a distance. Dempsey went to America’s playground and, of course, much was made of his tralning work at Atlantic City.

UT in the northern portion of Indiana they have an instjmtion that makes a habit of doing the unusual—especially in foot ball. Exceptional is the word that has been applied to most Notre Dame teams. ‘ But Notre Dame will be a bit more exceptional this year in that while most squads are satisfied with one leader. the Irish will have two. And < more than that, both are red-headed and back-fleld men. They are Tom *Red” Hearden, halfback, and Gene “‘Red Edwards, quarterback. Both will captain the team dur- ing the coming season and Rockne has arranged that one will act in that capacity one week and the next during the following week. ¢ Tom Hearden is from Green Bay, Wis.—the same town that produced Jimmy Crowley, one of the ‘Four Horsemen.” Like the famed “Sleepy” Crowley, d is a great back in that he has uncanny ability in the matter of sweeping would-be tacklers from the path of the ball-carrier most effectively. Hearden is one of the best interfering backs seen at Notre Dame in recent vears, and, in addition to this, 18 one of the most popu- iar men on the big Blue and Gold squad. Gene Edwards hails from Weston, W. Va. He is a quarterback of the heady variéty. A master field gen-| eral, the sorrel-top is cool and collected in the face of all odds.

COACH. K.\'I'TE ROCKNE, coach of the Fighting Irish, is as Tom Hearde: much a part of Notre Dame University as the famous gargoyles that are in front of one of the college buildings on the Notre Dame campus. More than this, he is conceded by many experts to be the best foot ball mentor in the country. Over a perfod of years Coach Rockne boasts of a record that is probably better than ever compiled by any other coach in the business. His elevens have al- * ‘ways been among the leaders, his team in 1924, with the incomparable “Four Horsemen and Seven Mules,” being the best eleven in the country that Fall. Coach Rockne is a Notre Dame alumnus and a former foot ball player at the South Bend, Ind., school of learning. He performed at end while at school and was a member of the “Fighting Irish” when they in- vaded the East and taught the Army the art of aviation as applied to the cross-barred turf. Coach Rockne builds his elevens around an assort- ment of plays that are the most deceptive that have heen seen on any gridiron, not even excepting the old Carlisle teams of Pop Warner. From some of his foi mations his teams can reel off as many as 36 different | plays. | This Fall marks a decade in the coaching experience | of Rockne at Notre Dame. During that time his teams have not lost more than 15 games all told, a truly re- markable record for a sport that is as full of uncertain- | ties as foot ball. Among some of the men that he has developed are Coach such famous names as Castner, Gipp, Anderson, Kiley, Notre Dame Walsh. Mohardt and the “Four Horsemen,” probably the greatest aggregation of back-field men that the world has ever seen on one college eleven. i Coach Rockne Is dlso director of physical education and coach of the varsity track team. In 10 out of the 11 years that the Indiana State meets have been held, his cinder path men have been victors. The schedule for Notre Dame for thi§ season follows: October 2—Reloit at Notre Dame.
