Peake, “I didn’t think I'd get any- ¥here. But here I am the metropolitan | ehampion!” + It was Peake's first tournament. MONG the latest well known bowlers to enter is Tony Santini of Center Market, who will pitch at Petworth. Tony is a Paviowa of grace on the mapleways and his delivery is ideslly suited to horseshoe flinging. Incidentally, one group of bowlers will have their own preliminary, with Fritz Oppenheimer as chairman. Already signed up are Fritz, Lonnie Krauss, Earl Stocking, Chick Helpman, _George Banna, Joe Mulvey, Arville Ebersole. ©O. H. P, Scott, Al Gardner and Howard Campbell.

Sport and Golf CARNERA VIETORY TENPTS DEMPSEY :!Former Champion Has Little Respect for Big Italian | or Schmeling. BY SPARROW McGANN, EW YORK, July 9.—Primo Car- | nera's victory over George God- | frey has drawn the first un- | | N | equivoca: statement from Jack‘ | Dempsey as to his come-back plans. | Dempsey would like to meet the Goliatn | | of the ring, and wants but a short | | period of hard training before making | up his mind sbout returning to the ring. I% is no secret that Dempsey does not think much of Carnera or of Max | Schmeling, and would consiaer a good | sized offer to swap blows with either of them. A meeting between the 0}6‘ Manassa mauler and Carnera would | probably attract a $2,000,000 gate ia hicago. ‘ Dergpsey has been watching the prog- ress of Carnesa with more than casual interest. He realizes the Italian glln'_‘ is a bigger attraction than was Luls Firpo and that a meeting with him is the only match likely to top the figures he made in his second meeting with Gene Tunney. Jack Dempsey was a good fighter. He | is still a good business man. Witn 1/ keen eye to business, Jack would we:- come an offer to fight Carnera, and | while this may not come to Dass this | Summer there is nothing in the books | to prevent Primo from making a trip to | the other side and rrepa; for the | bout with the biggess attraction in| pugilistic circles. Laying a fellow up for } a year has be~n done before, and can be done again. It comes under shrewd handling and matchmaking. Fans Would Be Confident. Carnera, in his fight with George Godfrey, failed to attract $200,000 to the gate, but a fight with Dempsey would_be a difterent story. Rumors to the effect that Godfrey would take the easiest way out for Carnera kept the fans away. Knowing that Jack Dem| sey cannot be bought off, the fans would at least have the fiurlanc]n that the men were fighting on the leve! Dempsey has passed his thirty-fifth birthday. He has been out of the ring since 1927, when he was turned back by Gene Tunney. Jack is an old man as fighters go, and it is & question whether he can come within 50 per cent of his real form. The old urge is there. The fire that sent him out to batter his opponents down still burns brightly. But how about the stamina, the punch and the steel legs? Where are they? Without these, Jack would be hard put to stick around long with a second rater. Dempsey would do_well to remember what happened to Jim Jeffries when the latter squared off with the young colored Jack Johnsos Outwar Wanted Used Cars Will pay you cash for your car or will make you a spe- cial price in trade on NEW “400” NASH —if your car is one that we can use in our Used Car Department Drive to our salesroom phone for used car buyer.

When the test came, Jeff proved to be another “hollow shell,” Willard Couldn’t Make It. Does Dempsey remember the eve- ning Jess Willard squared off against Luis Pirpo? The fans never liked Wil- lard much, but they could not help rooting for him because of his courags ous efforts to turn back the wiid bull the pampas. When Willard was on his knees with- out the strength to rise, the fans im- plored, “Come on, Jess! Come on, Jess!" It was a spirited rallying call to the willing Willard. The spirit was willing but the body could not respond, and Jess passed out of the picture. Age and long absence from the ring did for Willard what his rivals’' fists could not accomplish. Jack Dempsey would do well to check up on these and other instances of to fight Carnera or Schmeling. — .
