BY ALAN GOULD, Assoclated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, January 23— 1f it is any encouragement to him as he considers a fighting comeback after a lapse of five years, Jack Dempsey may know, here and now, that he has furnished the country’s news- paper experts with more thrills than any other athlete.

The slugfest he had with Luls in 1923 paeked the ultimate in excitement for 17 observers. Long Count Gets Vote. Just as many more got their big moment out of the long-count episode in the second match with Gene Tun- ney. Five recall the Dempsey-Willard bout most vividly, four the bout in which Jack lost the crown to Tunney at Philadelphia in 1926. - ‘Obviously the “contact sports” pack the most thrills for experts and fans alike. It is no surprise to find foot ball and boxing ranked ahead of base ball, the most popular national sport, in this respect. A total of 79 sports editors and writers find that foot ball furnished their greatest thrill, as com- pared with a total of 62 for boxing and 51 for base ball. Golf supplied big moments for 20 experts, track for 11. The Southern California-Notre Dame game of 1931 tops the gridiron list for excitement, with 18 votes for it. The world seties of 1929, in which the Athletics beat the Cubs with the pitch- ing help of Howard Ehmke and the 10-run rally in the fifth game is the choice of 13 for supplying the most thrills.

Gilbert Hall, S8outh Orange, N. J, veteran, and Berkeley Bell, hard-hitting young player from| New York, went on to battle for the championship. Troubled considerably with a knee injury suffered just before the tourna- ment started, Lott was eliminated by Hall yesterday after a hard five-set struggl>. The scores were 12—10, 2—6, 6—3, 3—6, 6—3. | Bell, ranked tenth in the United States, just one place above his oppo- nent in today's final, proved too hard a driver for little Marcel Rainville of Montreal, 8 Canadian Davis Cup player, | and won 6—3, 3—6, 9—7, 6—1. | .

G2 FOR BLAKENEY WOULD SET MARK 41 Stars Finish Classle at Convention Hall Tonight. McPhilomy Feared. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. ORTY-ONE stars of the ma- pleways, topped by ene of ]F the two Baltimoreans in the fleld, will gather at 8 o'clock tonight in John BlieRe Zeppelin-hangar Convention H&l plant to make final bids in the | Howard Campbéll Sweepstaker Fror chunks of the $1,143 piirse | The capital prize is $450 in cash and & diamond-studded medal and at least ten have a chance | colléct. Baltimore's great inconsistent, ¥ | Blakeney, who is eligible to roll be cause of his affiliation with a Distic League team, heads the fléld with ¢ | score of 1,277 and needs only 603 fo night to exceed the sweepstakes fecofr of 1878, made last year by Asto: Clatke. 2 One pin behind is Johnny Ander- son, an untested youth competitig & his first Campbell Sweepstakes, whil a few notches farther down are hal a dozen or so seasoned money bowler. —Paul =~ Harrison, Bradley Mandle) Earl McPhilomy, Ollie Pacini, Maxi: Rosenberg and Hokie Smith. | Both of the leaders belong in th | “dark horse” bracket, and despite thei shooting thus far neither will rat more than an even chance to win. . The wind-up of the Campbell Sweep- stakes is regarded as one of the im- portant yearly events in local spor 1t was a break for the fans that th spacious Convention Hall was draw for the grand finale, but despite th usually adequate facilities for bowlif: crowds standing room will be at’ : premium tonight. There will bé fio ad- mission fee. LAKENEY and Anderson are cet- tain to be watched by scores o the foftunate faithful who manag: to squeeze in, but the wise money i on Paul Harrison, Brad Mandley, Ear McPhilomy, Olife Pacini, Maxie Rosen- berg and Hokie Smith, nicely situabec for & winning finish, Harrison Has rolled fine duckpins in his first two sets for his 1,250 total His score would have been higher bat for abominable breaks. Br‘d‘lgn?nd- ley probably has the most bri - ord of any bdwler in the couhtry, and with 1,249 he is very much in ring for the capital prise. Earl McPhilomy, tled with Mandley for fourth place, could easily be visiofi- ed wearing the crown despite the fact this is Earl's first Campbell Sweep- stakes. Strange as it may seem, Barl, who was a star bowler as far back as 1924, has missed the previous Camp- bell 'Stakes due to iliness. This sea- son he has engineered a succeéssful comeback and is, if anything, befter than he was in 1924, Louis Pantos, Ollie Pacini, Rosenberg, Hokie Smith and Ci Walson also are in the running for plum, while half a dosen more have a chance to finish in the money.
