N the last few years women have become more and mors prominent in the crowds that attend fights. This always has been of interest to me, because I have held the belief from the start that there was no reason why women should not at- tend boxing matches just as they do other forms of amusement. There used to be a lot of talk about the sport being too brutal for women; that they could not stand the sight of blood, of physical combat. People, somehow, forget that women in many w have more fortitude than men. o can stand more physical suffer- ing.” The war nurses saw more in’ their daily work than a lot of men could stand. When it comes to fighting patriotism the wom can give the men cards and spades. ¢, since they have been attending women have shown them- ch fairer judges than the average man. They are even more judicial in considering the merits of men in the fight. I have yet to sec one of them get unduly excited. They are strong partisans for their favorites, though. The most noticeable thing about the woman spectators is that a large mejority of them come from the higher strata of society, rather than the lower. Drawn by Benefit Shows. This, I believe, is due largely to the benefit shows we staged to raise funds for charity. Miss Anne Morgan was the pioneer in that method of raising morey to help worthy causes. She was at the head of the big boxing show we gave at the Garden for the devas- tated areas of France. I was struck by her businesslike at- titude, common sense and clear under- standing of what we were driving at. Miss Morgan is a wonderful woman. ‘When it was pointed out to her that to raise money the most important thing was to give a show that the public really wanted to sce—to arrange it $o they could get their money’s worth and at the same time be doing something for a just cause—she said: “That is axactly what we want. We wil give thom the best we can; we wvant real boxing matches between real boxers. You go right ahead and our committee will attend to the rest of the work.” "That committee headed by Miss Mor- gan went at the work with such determ- ination that they got a great many wom- en interested in boxing who otherwise would not have thought of it. Boxing got a big boost. ~The names of the prominent women also added to the fmti[e of the affair. As a result housands of women saw the fights. In- stead of remaining merely as a duty they discovered they actually liked the boxing game. Many of them have been coming ever since. Good Sports at Fights. T have scen many humorous incidents when women attended their first fights. In none of them have I seen any sem- blance of revulsion at what some have called brutal sport. One night 2t the Garden I saw a well bred woman with her escort sitting directly back of Heywood Broon, the writer. The next day he related what he heard. As the couple seated themselves the ‘wontan admitied a great thrill at being able to see a real prize fight. “Only I hope it won't be too brutal,” she added nervously. She watched everything very closely and was soon taking sides in the prelim- inaries. The main event was between Jack Dempsey and Bill Brennan., Feeling that Brennan had the worst of it to start with, this woman immediately be- gan pulling for him. Up to this time she had seen nothing brutal. Her escort was very nervous for fear there would be blood spilled. In one of the rounds Brennan clipped Dempsey on the ear, tearing it slightly. Blood hegan to trickle down the cham- pion’s face. “Oh, look!” cried the woman, jubi- “We’ve got one of his ears any- There were many women at the first fight I staged, that between Gans and Nelson, at Goldfield. We knew nothing then about women being barred at prize fights in the East. Evidently the wom- en out in Nevada didn't either. There were fully 300 of them there. Not long ago a writing friend of mine dropped in to see me with the request that I give him the recipe for making $1,000,000. He assumed that I had made a million. In a half joking way, and half serious, too, I told him: “Making a million is easy if you sit down and think things out right. Folks ‘want amusement, and they've got the money to pay for it. They love fight- ing. Glve them the right kind of fights and they will pay high for them.” Money-Making Rules. Of course, the catch is that few people can think things out right, and some- times it is impossible to furnish the right kind of fights. At my friend’s request, I then wrote down the follow- ing recipe, which I really think would work in any kind of business. “1. You have to learn the psychology of folks. You must give them their en- tertainment their way, not yours. “2. You have to spend money to make money, though you may not al- ways have it to spend. But you can establish credit. Folks can get credit on big ideas—if they're honest ideas and the man is honest. “3. When you put one thing across big the rest is easy—if you don't let down in the class of stuff you give the public. You have to be something of a mind reader, lonary, but not a 1L BET MRiIAM Wil B€ SURPRISED To SEE ME HomE | Dow'T meAR A Sound-- PERe HAPS SMB'S UP- STARS | ] D. C. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY ‘6.

IAMI BEACH, Fla., February 6. —Jack Sharkey today was pre- pared for a strenucus session with his sparring partners, while young Stribling, the Bos- ton sailor's adversary in the projected battle of Flamingo Park here February 27, cast about for some way to “get the feel of the breeze” in his face. Strib will not “get the feel of the breeze” by peering over the cockpit of his airplane, for he was grounded Mon- cay by promoter Jack Dempsey's in- Junction. The Boston gob went through a hard sessicn yesterday for the camera men, and will appear in his ring again tomorrow. Friday he will go to Tampa with Jack Dempsey to witness a boxing match. Sharkey probably will referee one of the matches. While Stribling held to his nightly program of two and one-half miles road work, his father mmm conferred with Johnny Buckley, key's ™ pilot over a referree. No selection is expected until shortly before hostilities. Tt was announced last night by W, ¥. B! St ! the Madison Square Gan ) tion, that mo radio broadcast cf.the fight was contemplated.

Landis, base ball's supreme dictator, continued here today an vestigation to determine whether & major or minor league contract shall prevail with a slugging collegiate ball player the prize at stake. “Chink” Outen, North Carolina State outfielder, signed two contracts—one with Charlotte of the South Atlantic League, while still in college and an- other with the New York Yankees. Both clubs claimed his service, but later the Yankees bought his contract from Charlotte. Judge Landis was not satisfied, how- ever, and yesterday he arrived to make his own inquiry into the deal.

If you see you are going to lose you have to take your loss, that’s all. You must never welch. Many a show has cost me big money that could have been saved by calling the show off. That would have made the public peev- ish, and in the end I would have lost a dozen times as much in future con- fidence as on that one venture. “8. There is no monopoly on brains in the world. Every one with good com- mon sense, honesty, a will to go through with things, imagination, a sense of humor and the ability to take a rough turn with a smile can make a lot of money. Maybe not & million. That's a lot of money. But making a million or just making money is all the same.” Luck plays a big part in any venture. To my way of thinking luck about breaks even. I was never afraid of tak- ing a chance, and as long as I was tak- ing one I decided it was just as well to take a big one. Anyway, I always made up my mind I'd make good, and that if I didn’t I would be only one to lose. The thing that hurts most is to have others lose money that they have risked on your efforts. It never hurt me ‘much to lose my own money. That's why I like to take my big chance aione. (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- Daper Alliance.) (Néxt—Carpentier.)

CHICAGO, February 6—A straight puncher and a hooker will battle for the right to challenge for Tod Morgan's junior lightweight title tonight when Tony Canzoneri and Joey Sangor meet in & 10-round bout at the Coliseum. Canzonerl is a left-hook artist, while ;,l:ngor punches straight with both n ds. Eleven thousand persons, the largest crowd ever to be attracted to an indoor fight in Chicago, have purchased tickets for the show, all available seats having been sold a week in advance. Because of his sensational five-round knoekout of Armand Santiago, the Cuban Punchtr, Canzoneri is rated the slight’ favorite. Previous to thé San- tiago-Canzoneri fight the Cuban had stopped Sangor in two rounds. Two weeks later, however, Joey came back to win the popular decision over Morgan in a non-decision bout at Milwaukee, Santiago will also appear on tonight's card, fighting the semi-wind-up of eight rounds with Tony Herrera, the Mexican battler.

Febraury 6.—The con- troversy over Sunday base ball in Bos- ton has delayed adoption of the Na- tional League's schedule for 1929. The schedule, providing for Sunday games in the Hub, was turned over to President John M. Heydler by the league's club owners, in annual schedule session yesterday. He will declare it adopted as drawn up if the Boston Braves finally are permitted to play on Sunday, or revise it if such is not the case. The National League season will open Tuesday, April 16, five days later than last year, and close Sunday, October 6, a week later than a year ing games will find the line-up lows: New York at Philadelphia, Brook- lyn at Boston, St. Louis at Cincinnatti and Pittsburgh at Chicago.

By the Associated Press. 08 ANGELES, February 6.—Tom- my Loughran, light-heavyweight champion and aspirant to the heavyweight title, scored his sec- ond victory over Armand Eman- uel last night, and whatever hopes the fighting law student may have held to occupy the throne vacated by Gene | wif Tunney again faded. Emanuel, however, looked good in de- feat and as upon the occasion of their first battle in New York several months ago, the decision was given to the champion over the protest of many of the fans. Those at the ringside, how- ever, were unanimous in backing up the verdict of referee Abe Ross. Loughran'’s greater experience count- ed in the long run. They fought at a gait which only men with the speed and skill that Loughran and Emanuel possess can stand. Upset in the seventh by a hard left hook on the point of the , and on the short end in the eighth, Loughran staged a furious finish in the remaining two rounds. Climaxing a round that to all appear- ances was his, Emanuel hooked a left to Loughran's jaw in the seventh that sent the champion to the mat. Lough- ran was up without a count, however, and there was a furious mix-up at the bell. The Emanuel left, missing fire through most of the early sessions, was in constant action in the eighth, land- ing to Loughran's head and body with sufficient regularity to give him the round. Loughran's pace in the ninth was terrific and he gained a wide margin with a vicious attack of left and right hands to head and body. He carried the same pace into the tenth, outscor- ing the Westerner at every turn. ughran entered the ring a slight weight ldv-nmgg scaling 182% pounds to anuel's 180, both well above the light-heavyweight limit. K. 0. FATAL TO BOXER; OPPONENT IS HELD By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, February 6.—Cecil Geysel, 21-year-old welterweight boxer of Seattle, was held today pending an in- quest into the death of Eddie Cart- wright, negro welterweight, of Portland, Oreg., who died a few minutes after having been knocked out by Geysel last night. %‘hc knockout blow did not cause the death of the veteran, an autopsy showed. It was the last of a battery of punches to the jaw from the gloves of Geysel. A hemorrhage, resulting from a rup- ture of arteries at the base of the brain, when Cartwright’s head struck the can- vas caused his death, Coroner William J. Jones reported. The examination also revealed a diseased heart, which, consulting physicians said, might have caused his death from any form of overexertion. His condition was such that it could not have been discovered without a blood m;‘a:xplw‘d J. T. Momty 8, ing oomlgua s, who certified Cartwright for the fight. Normally, they do nct require blood tests, they said, and there was no oc- caslon for calling for one in the case of the negro, who had withstood the pum- meling of many ring battles.

McGEEHAN. Men of Letters, OME of the boys connected with the caulifiower industry are beginning to view with alarm the part that intellect seems to be playing in the moédern prize ring. Mr. Gene Tunney, a devoted Shak an student, twice beat Mr. Jack Dempsey, and now Herr Max Schmeling, who admits that Shakespeare is his favorite author, has knocked out Johnny Risko, the bouncing Bohemian baker's boy, & task that was accomplished only once before by Mr. Charles Chuckling Wiggins. And they say that one was a fluke, begun Mr. Wiggins was never known to read anything but the Sunday comics. You will recall that when the rumor that Mr. Tunney had read a book was confirmed there was much indignation in caulifiower circles. I remember that while Tunney was preparing for the first meeting with Jack Demnrey a friend of mine cautioned me not to pick Tunney. “You will see,” he sald. “He can't take no book into the ring with him.” But Mr. Tunney, despite his weakness for reading, disposed of Mr. Dempsey not once, but twice, and it seems that he did & lot of secret reading while he was training for these bouts. In fact, while he was working out at Speculator he read aloud to me on several occasions in a quiet sector of the woods. I never revealed this fact before, because it was a confidential matter, and I did not wish it to be used t Mr. Tunney. If Dempum heard about it he might have bu“m'm himself a set of books and worked 1f into condition for the bout ‘Tunney. It seems a strange coincidence that the favorite author of Herr Schmeling should be Shakespeare. One could understand Herr Schmeling better if he had announced that his favorite author were Goethe or Schiller. Perhaps Herr Schmeling started with these, but switched to the writer who is known in the lobby of Madison Square Garden as the Bard of Avon when he heard of the suc- cess of Gene Tunney. Up to this time the boys regarded Tunney as something of a freak, an ex- ception to all the rules of the manly art of modified murder. But now that another Shakespearean scholar is about to come very close to the heavyweight champlonship the boys are starting to think, which may or may not be fatal. ‘The news will be most disconcerting to Mr. Jack Dempsey, who, the press agent of the battle of Miami Beach insists, is about to stage a comeback this Summer and make an effort to recover the heavyweight championship he lost 'b: :hzuduclple of the author of “Romeo and Jullet,” “Julius Cesar” and other st sellers. ‘The shade of Shakespeare seems to be the Nemesis of Mr. Jack Dempsey. Just as it seemed that he would regain that heavyweight championship with apparent ease, along comes another Shakespearean scholar, and these Shake- spearean scholars are very tough eggs indeed. Mr. Dempsey is beginning to wonder why Shakespeare is pi on him. “I never did anything to him,” Mr. Dempsey might say. “I never knocked any of his books because I never read any of them.” The latest report on Herr Schmeling is that he is about to return to Ger- many for a short stay. They are trying to keep the object of the visit dark, but it is an open secret that Herr Schmeling is to deliver a series of lectures on Shakespeare at Heidelberg. After that he will return to the United States and g0 after the heavyweight championship. In the old days a champicn used to say to the challenger, “Go get a reputa- tion.” But the old order changeth. Now the retort to a challenge is “Aw, go | get an education.” Fhe Holdout Days. ‘This is what the boys call the holdout season in base ball. The athletes think that they are worth much more money, and the magnates think that they are worth much less. Col. Carter Latimer, the sage of Greenville, 8. C., sends the following seasonable communication: “As surely as the robin is a harbinger of Spring, the base ball holdout portends that the irrational pastime is almost within reach of the umpire’s voice. Players hold out for more money under a Republican administration the same as they do when the Democrats are in sour. If anything, they have enlarged and avated ideas about the salary question when the G. O. P. ofls up its machinery for the Grand Old Parade down Pennsylvania avenue. Because of the prosperity propaganda, they insist that what is sauce for the goose is applesauce for the propaganda. “Recalcitrant players with swollen money glands are likely to receive. much consideration from Col. Jacob Ruppert of the Yankees. The colonel knows his surgery when it comes to operating on balky athletes. He says he tries to be liberal, and that the stipends he has written into the contracts should be enough to keep Babe Ruth from the hot-dog counter and other robust Yanks out of the ‘bread line.’ The best wage has been stipulated in the first exchange of greet- ings, according to Col. Ruppert's motion, seconded by Business Manager Egbert Barrow. He doesn’t to raise the ‘ante,’ as we used to say at Deauville. “Frankly, Col. Ruppert doesn't anticipate any back-firing from his bonded servants. He has less bickering and dilly-dallying over the ljary question than any major league magnate, perhaps. One or two athletes may appear to be dis- gruntled and utter diabolical threats about retiring, but when the old dinner gong sounds for the free lunch at the Florida training table the knife-and-fork brigade is always recruited to full strength. It Never Is Serious. < “Some of the other bloated barons are having their annual ‘ifs-and-buts’ over the demands of certain stars, but I have yet to hear of a player holding out an entire season. “If my memory has skipped a cylinder, correct me. Hughey Critz estab- lished the endurance and perseverance record by femaining away from the Cincinnati Reds until July, and Bill Terry once refused to budge from his Memphis home until after the Giants started the campaign. However, they caught step with the gang before it was too late. It is probable, however, that the elub owners had to do a little knee-bending, too, and in numerous other g;:u c‘:mpromm have been effected. But handouts are not as frequent as “Therefore, we hesitate to rush messages of sympathy to Connie Mack because of the rather broad hint made by Mickey Cocl e that he will not report to the Athletics this season unless he is given more money. The catcher was voted the most valuable player in the American League last year, and res the salary Connie Mack offers is not sufficient to enable him to ve with the pomp and ceremony that ‘a most valuable player’ is supposed to conduct his household affairs. Connie increased the hun.‘gmul. but not enough to Mickey's way of thinking. It is h that the PI lelphia catcher doesn't hold out his hand too long and injure the throwing arm. “Lindstrom and Terry also have been listed as very much displeased with the compensation the Giants offer for their plain and fancy talents. But you can bet your Confederate money to & Federal League rain check that both will be perspiring freely down in San Antonio by the ides of March. With the Waner boys it might be different.

ILWAUKEE, Wis., Pebruary 6.— A popular member of Mil- waukee’s younger society set has stepped out of her dancing slippers into her father’s worl a-day shoes. She is Florence Killilea, 26, who, through the will of her father, the late Henry J. Killilea, University of Michigan foot ball and base ball star, becomes president of the Milwaukee Bue’ :’Bnu Club. Mr. Killilea died Janu- ary 23. Since her graduation from the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, Miss Killilea has devoted her time to world travel, to her favorite sport of horseback riding, to the social activities of her set and to her father’s interests. ‘The relationship between father and Jaughter has ever been for Milwaukee an idyl of comradeship.

It was a dream of his that Milwaukee should win the pen- nant. Death took him before he achieved that desire and he passed the responsi- bility on to me. I must make good on it, if I possibly can.” Miss Killilea, even though she is not overconfident, is no novice in the world of base ball. Her father has b;le ball wflhe: .slkm:e she was a she says.
