Dempsey Being Weighed for Rickard’s Job ; Nurmi Wins Race in Record Tim _ | | > i Jack’s Future With Garden Rests on Success of | Stribling-Sharkey Bout. BY EDWARD J. NEIL. EW YORK, January 19 (P).— | They're putting the acid test | on the vaunted drawing power | of William Harrison Dempsey down under the waving palms of Florida’s playgrounds. Not as a fighter who pulled close to | +$10,000,000 through fistiana's turn- stiles as the greatest ring attraction of all times, but as a promoter, is the final test of the old Manassa Mauler being made. The makers are the di- rectors of Madison Square Garden and | the reward of success is the empty chair that stands before Tex Rickard's 2-ton bronze desk in the Garden. That chair and all the power that went with it when Rickard played his Jone hand as a promoter and some- times told his board of directors of his fantastic plans just in time for them to order seats will be offered to Dempsey if the clash of Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling at Miami Beach, | February 27, turns out a financial suc- | cess. Otherwise Dempsey must re- | turn to fisticuffing to rekindle the | interest of the Garden directorate. The | quest of a successor to the late pro-| moter will follow other channels. ‘This analysis of the troublesome situation in boxing left"by Rickard's death is made by one of the Garden's most powerful directors. He won't sign the confession, but he swears it's the truth and is willing to elaborate. Serving an Apprenticeship. Dempsey, it seems, has agreed to serve his apprenticeship, to stand or fall as a promoter and the successor of Rickard, on the financial outcome of the battle in the South, the last and one of the most ambitious of all the Rickard schemes. He is interested financially in the dog track, where the fight will take place and which Rickard controlled. His willingness to forego another shot at the title Gene Tunney snatched away is seen in the eagerness with which Dempsey jumped at the chance to prove himself as a promoter. Jack belleves that he knew Rickard's plans and line of action better than apy other man. He valued Rickard’s friendship highly enough to want to carry out personally the J:rokcu Tex 'had planned. In the mind of this one director at least is the idea that Rick- ard himself had planned to “break in” Dempsey as his successor. Jack would like the job. Although rumors always were preva- fent, it was not generally known that Rickard intended to remain at the head of Madison Square Garden for just one He was constantly em- broiled in exchanges with the N mte of the corporation he conceived, but controlled through friendship with bankers who owned a majority of the /Garden stock. Several hard-headed #usiness men on the board of directors never could understand how Tex pro- moted that $3,000,000 Tunney-Dempsey project at Chicago and came away with only $400,000 profit. Tex Invested Elsewhere. ‘Tex in turn couldn’t understand their ettitude and lack of realization that profits for the other 11 months of the accrued in great part from the ‘g:p:tul of the open-air extravaganzas. The constant bickering led him to in- vest heavily in & dog track and real estate at Miami Beach where he plan- ned to turn his energles when once fre= of the Garden. There will be two powers close to the year of the throne if Dempsey does step into the breach left by Rickard's death. Constant advice will come his way from Col. John S. Hammond, “assistant to Rickard under the old regime, and John F. (Cyclone) Carey, the dynamic Irish- man who made millions as a contractor and business promoter before he built the Garden and bought a huge block of the stock,. Dempsey can supply the knowledge of boxing, they the business udgment. . All"l't"ll 60 with the battle of the Miami seashore still six weeks away the possi- bility of Dempsey ever fighting again dwindles with every dollar that falls .into the box office. Already that sum totals $80,000 and the Garden directors believe they have found Rickard’s suc- cessor. —_— L GOLF EVENT TAKEN BY MARIAN TURPIE By the Associated Press. BILOXI, Miss., January 19.—Marian *Turpie of New Orleans, Southern cham- plon, annexed the Pan-American wom- an’s amateur golf title today, defeating Mrs. Melvin Jones, Chicago, former Western champion, 7 and 6. in the tour- nament finals on the Edgewater golf course.

Jack Dempsey, promoter, and W.

A fighting George Washington Uni- versity basket ball team bowed to Uni- versity of Baltimore in a 32-to-27 en- counter last night in the G. W. gym.

The plan, it was unofficially re- rorted, is to name an assistant coach or foot ball, acceptable to Bagshaw. The faculty committee visited Bag- shaw during the afternoon to ask him to accept the proposal. When under fire at the close of the season last Fall the coach refused to | countenance such a move. His reac- tion to the proposal today was not disclosed. The board of control, facing a deadlock with the faculty committee, began to draw lines for a legal bat- tle for the right of student manage- ment of athletics. CANADIAN GIRL STAR TO MEET U. S. BEST PENN STATE QUINT ROUTS NAVY, 332 Changes Style After Being on Short End of 14-12 Count at Half. ANNAPOLIS, Md., January 19.— Pennsylvania State shifted its team in the second half of today’s game of | basket ball with the Navy and changed an adverse lead of 14 to 12 to a victory | by the good margin of 39 to 25. Penn State closed up its team play and hit up its speed so that the Navy mxude a poor showing in the final in- ning. The first half was as interesting though somewhat loosely played period, in which the lead changed several times. One feature of the half was that each team received a practical gift of a goal from the other, owing to long passes which the player just under the By DENMAN OLLOWERS of the Nationals now can_ expect until some time early in April to be regaled by yarns carrying Southern date lines about preparations for the coming cham- pionship season of the American League.

This in itsel/ might constitute a cause of worry for any mogul with a less persuastve line of chatter than Griff but the local chieftain appeared wholly unconcerned thereat as he entrained for Dizie yesterdey after- noon. If the truth were known he prob- ably is giving more thought to the size of handicap, if any, which he should give to Jimmy Baines, the Columbia Club veteran with whom he daily traverses the layouts in the vicinity of Tamra each Spring, and to the possibilities of achieving a links victory over Business Manager E.

The objections voiced to the start- ing stalls used at Bowie last Fall, with such general satisfaction to horsemen and public alike, have to do mainly wtih the limited number of horses they can accommodate and the side chutes necessitated by them. The Jockey Club has been influ- enced to try the Australian gate by the fact that it has been used in France for two years and that the conservative British turf governing body has adopted it for next season. The device is made of six strands of rope so stout that a horse cannot break through and it runs up two arms set on two heavy posts on each side of the track when released. The experiment, which is to be made first in this country at Bel- mont Park, will be watched with in- terest by turf officials of the nearby Maryland tracks, and if it proves successful at least one of the track ‘moguls may be expected to install it —Jim O'Hara.

Official Says It Has Nothing to “Break” With His Organization. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. NEW YORK, January 19.—The West- ern Conference may have “broken” re- lations with the Amateur Athletic Union, but Dan Ferris, secretary-treas- urer of the A. A. U, can't see it that way. There was nothing to “break,” he says. Maj. John L. Griffiths, commissioner of the Western Conference, announced yesterday that his organization, “tired of A. A. U. attempts to dominate our | affairs,” had decided that it will con- duct its athletic meets independently. “Henceforth,” he said, “we will conduct our meets with- clubs and teams that we choose and will not pay the regular $10 tribute to obtain the heretofore necessary sanction.” But Ferris, terming the Western Con- | ference announcement as simply an- | other “expression of disapprovalof A.

Kennedy of Georgetown Takes “Thousand.” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 19.—Paavo Nurmi, Finland’s flying phantom, gal- loped to an easy victory in the first | start of his new American campaign, outdistancing a fair field to win a 3,000« | yard special race at the Brooklyn Col- | lege track meet at the 13th Regiment Armory here tonight. The time, 7:43 2-5, was announced as a new world record, although no of- ficial mark for the distance is recog- nized. The best time on the books was made by Nurmi nearly four years ago when he covered the distance in 7:45 3-5 at Baltimore. Ove Anderson, another Finn, who makes his home in New York, finished second, 100 yards behind, beating out Gus Moore, national cross country champion, who kept the pace with the peerless Paavo up to the last half mile. Fast Early in Race. Four years apparently have taken | little from Nurmi's speed at distances | over a mile. His time at the first point, 12,000 meters, was 15 seconds slower than the record, and at a mile and & quarter he was about the same distance away. At 1'2 miles he was only 8 sec- onds away from the record, while the last three times were announced as new records—6:58 for 2,500 meters, 7:23 2-5 for 1% miles and 7:43 2-5 for 3,000 yards. At the start Moore went out ahead with Irving Totten of the Millrose A. A, New York, second, and Nurmi third. Paavo jumped the leaders before the end of the first,lap and set his own pace for the rest of the way, timing it to close to the world's best marks at every point where the watches were snapped. From the second lap to the last half- mile Moore followed at Nurmi's heels, matching stride for stride a yard or two behind. On the fifth lap Moore shot his bolt, drawing up almost to even terms for an instant before Nurmi let out his speed enough to hold him off. The Negro cross-country star found the going hard after the first 2 miles and dropped back rapidly after his failure to go into the lead. With four laps, a half mile, to go, Nurmi speeded up his pace, gaining 15 yards on each round of the track. At the start of the final lap he caught up with Totten, just at the point where Andreson overtook the rapidly weaken- ing Moore to go into second place. Hoyan Runner Scores. James Kennedy of Georgstown won | the Brooklyn College thousand, first of | the indoor track season's traditional events. Kennedy finished only a few inches ahead of Sam Martin of the Boston A. A., with Phil Edwards, star of the New York University and Canadian Olympic teams, third, about 2 feet farther back. | The time was slow, seconds. . Hal Cutbill, the “Flying Parson” of Boston, who was the only runner ever to win the event twice, took fourth place some distance back. Edwards jumped into the lead at the start and | set an easy pace up to the final lap | where Martin went after the lead. The two battled it out around two | turns before Kennedy came up to take advantage of their struggle and beat them out in the thrilling finish. | Joe Hickey. compeiing unattached, won the 2-mile handicap race.

Bob McAllister, New York's flying cop, who is trying a comeback cam- - paign, from the retirement he went into after the Olympic games, won the 100- meter dash of the sprint series. In the last 30 yards he pulled away to beat {out Karl Wildermuth of Georgetown. | Jim Daley of Holy Cross took third, and Jimmy Pappas, former Princeton star running for the Newark A. C, was fourth. McAllister made the fast time of 11 seconds. McAllister won the sprint series by taking first place in th2 100, after fin- ishing sccond to Wildermuth in the 75-yard event. The point total for the fiying cop was 14. The Georgetown star slipped badly in the final race. finishing last, while Jimmy TCaley, Holy Cross star, took | second.

It is only when a non-collegiate ath- lete is involved that the A. U. steps in, he said. “It is only when A. A. U. athletes compete that the A. A. U. is forced to watch over them,” he declared. “Even in collegiate relay carnivals the A. A. U. only takes control of the event or events in which A. A. U. athletes compete. We do the same here in the East with Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Pennsylvania and all Eastern colleg: and there is never a murmur of col plaint from them.” As to the $10 sanction fee, Ferris had this to say: “It is only when a college desires to put on a special attraction by having a star non-collegiate athlete, like Nurmi, for instance, compete in an extra event that the college must pay $10 for an A. A. U. sanction. And what is more, if the college is a member of th> District Association of the A. A. 1t need pay nothing for its sanction.” Ferris thought that if the Western Conference sticks to its determination to go through with its meets without A. A.
