Izzy Schwartz, recognized by the New York State Athiletic Commission as the king of the 112 pounders. Schwartz has not yet been , but Rickard anticipates little difficulty in arranging the match. The Schwartz-Genaro battle was de- cided upon today after Joe Dundee, welterweight titleholder, informed Rick- ard that he could not get in shape for a defenss of his crown againsi Ace Hudkins by that date. Originally it was planned to have Tommy Loughran defend his light- heavyweight crown on March 23, but a suitable opponent could not be found. SETS SWIMMING MARK. By the Associated Press.

I don't believe any of the five selected class that high. It seems to me this tourna- ment will eliminate the contenders be- cause of their poor showing. Though Jack Dempsey is playing cagey, and not putdng himself on record about what he intends doing, I| feel that the poor work of the present contenders will force a third Tunney- Dempsey fight in June, this one at the Yankee Stadium. Unless one of them makes a sudden, scnsational showing, I don't see how the Sharkeys, Riskos, Delanieys, Heeneys and Pdulinos can build up enough public intergst for a million dollar gate with Tunney. As I have said before, Dei 'y, de- spite his two defeats, is the only one of Rickard's cholces who really stands out. At any rate, he knocked out Sharkey, and he had the champ on the floor at chlufi;.e None of the other contenders have n doing very much to clinch their claims. Both Delaney and Shar- key kicked against fighting anyone but the champion. Each said he had won the right, and this despite Delarey's defeat by Risko, .and Sharkey's very poor bout. with Heeney. Tex, of course, realized that each had to prove himself. So Delaney went into the match with Heeney, and Sharkey into his with Risko. They had to, for Tex made it pretty clear that he wouldn't throw either into a champion- | ship bout without some sort of victory. It isn't & o?uenuon of size or physical ability. All of the contenders except De- laney weigh about as much as the| champion. I believe mys=lf that a man |ply to the Olympia promioters for the |Mrs. John D. Hertz, probably will not| 14 years of age, the midgets up to 16| of 175 or 180 pounds is big enough to | bout. which is proposed for some time in |start unless Reigh Count trains off nr} and juniors up to 18. fight any one. You necdn't forg»t that Some Day. Dempsey gave away 40 pounds to Wil- lm‘d‘pgmt Corbett was far lighter than Sullivan, and that Fitzsimmons hardly cver scaled as much as 170. It isn’t size alone that counts. Not by a jugful. The faults of the contenders don't run to the matter of size. Delaney, a fine boxer and a sharp hitter, is in- clined to be temperamental and a little brittle. Heeney doesn’t hit hard and isn't particularly fast. Sharkey is stub- born and not adaptable. Paulino is just a good “club fighter,” and Risko can be outspeeded by a fast man. It is for these reasons that I think Rickard will have Dempsey in against Tunney for the June show. He needs more time to prgpare another contender. Dempsey needs*no building, of course. With Gene wanting two bouts this yea! one in September, Tex needs those add. ed months to build up the second op- ponent. I'm just biding my time, though I'm willing to fight Gene Tunncy any time, I am certain there will be no one else in the field in the Summer of 1929. I worked and waited for the light-heavy- weight title. I'm willing to do the same for the heavywelght crown. Amesican Newspaper Alliance.
