SPORTS Kearns Does Not Believe Dempsey Will Be Able to Slage Comeback in Ring JACK'S LEGS GONE, EX-MANAGER SAYS Declares Former Champion Realizes He Can't Soar to Heights Again. NEW YORK, February 5— of mine had a talk with BY WALTER TRUMBULL. When Jack Kearns was in New York recently a friend him concerning Jack Dempsey. He asked Kearns whether he thought Dempsey intended to re-| turn to the ring in a champion- ship match. “No,” replied Kearns, “Jack won't fight any more. His legs are gone, and he knows it. He can go around the country knock- ing over third-raters and make plenty af money. Besides, we made a lot of money when we were together and he has enough of it left so that he doesn’t have to worry. “Do you think you two ever will get together again?” he was asked "No,” sald Kearns, “I have nothing against Dempsey, but things never could be the same. We through Besides, I have the next champion of the world in Mickey Walker | “Don’t you really believe that Walke ¢ too small to beat & good big man?’ Big Enough to Beat Anybody. “Walker is plenty big enough to beat anybody,” asserted Kearns. "The big men aren't enxious to fight him, are they? If he ever gets the titleholder into & ring, he’ll be the champlon.” “If you had been handling Dempsey in the Tunney fight in Chicago, do you think you could have won with him?" “Yes, I do,” sald Kearns. “I wouldn't | have waited until the seventh round. | I'd have sent him in to do what he did in the seventh in the first round, when | he was fresh."” Tunney’s reply to this probably would be that in the first round he, too, would have been fresher, and he fin- ished that bout looking strong enough to go 10 rounds more. But it appeared to an onlooker as if Dempsey took about the only chance he had to get to Tunney. I believe Kearns is telling the truth when he says he has nothing against Dempsey. In his heart, I think the Doc still has a soft spot for the old Manassa Mauler, a spot nobody else | will ever fill. They climbed the heights | together and stood on top of the world. | No mstter what happens later, a man doesn't forget those days | And I never have been quite able | to believe either that Dempsey was| coming back to battle for the crown. Not t! he can't lick a lot of the heavyweights of today. I think he can He'd outgame most of them. But there 2 a few at the top he could scarcely expect to trim. They would have the youth and stamina that slips away with passing years. Every once in & while persons im- m.n in the boxing game tell me they are entirely convinced that Dempsey means to take one more shot at the title and will fight some good man next Summer or in the Fall. If Schmeling beats Sharkey they think the old tiger man will stalk from the jungle of retirement to give battle once more One promoter, figuring Dempsey still as the greatest gate attraction game ever saw, wants to match him with Walker. He figures that the fact shet Kearns would be in Walker's cor- z« would lend the bout even more 1 have seen articles which make out & sort of aged wreck. & long way from that. Dempsey % siill & comparatively young man and always has kept himsell in shape. He probably could out-walk, out-fight or out-last the great majority of men of his age. But against a real champion & contender must be at his peak. Snap Gone From Legs. | a lot of difference in y a few men in the world can der 94-5. Lots of men can travel the century under 10 4-5.

THE EVENING S TAR., WASHINGTON, .0 ¢, ERIDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1932 Nats Not After Cash for Judge IF Bucky Harris would get Joe Judge, Washington's veteran first baseman, for his Tigers he'll have to give up playing talent, not cash. Clark Griffith, president of the Nationals, declared this morning that Judge is not for sale, but might be considered trading material, pro- vided Detroit or any other club displayed willingness to give some- worth while in players in ge. “Harris has talked base ball mat- ters with me several times lately,” said Griffith, “but he has made no direct ofter for Judge” Griffith intimated that Detroit probably would not give up any talent he would consider worth taking. If Harris is to complete a deal with GriMith here he'll have to do so today, for the club president leaves ®morrow for Biloxi, Miss, site of the Nationals' training cam ROSSLYN PAIR ROLL NATIONAL RECORD Mrs. Davis’ Game of 165 Is Highlight of 737-Set in Mixed Doubles. EORGE L. ISEMANN, secre- tary of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress, erased his| own name from the list of | national record holders today. The morning mail brought George the tidings of a mixed ‘doubles set of 737 rolled last night by Mrs. Helen D. Davis and Russell Spilman in the Rosslyn Mixed Doubles League, and ui will go into the book in place of a 724 | shot by Isemann and Lorraine Gulli in April, 1830, at Greensboro, N. C. Mrs. Davis and Spilman bowled un- | der strictly champlonship conditions and sanction of the record is a formal- | ity. Carlin Muse was the foul line| judge and Joe Freschi the official acorer. The big punch of the performance was & 165 game by Mrs. Davis in her final effort. She had two strikes and six_spares, making four of the latter with splits. The acores: 101 165359 143 128- !7!1 00 284 203737 Miss Gulli holds the woman's na- tional record for a single game with 176 Lucille Preble Young and her husband, Charles, of Washingon shot 319 in Baltimore last April for the | mixed doubles one-game mark. 93 107 BY FRANCI AY HUFFMAN of Bethesde teblished a new tournament set record last Saturday when he shot 663 at Bethesda to gain a lengthy lead in the Maryland-Virginia Buburban Sweepstakes, but the fact | that it required a 194 score in his final string to accompHil’fhe St Ha; | to keep hopes of “¥omb 20 ® | tenders still in the running high. Tomorrow at College Park, where the | second five-game block of the suburban classic will be rolled, a feeling of op- timism rather than depression will per- vade, for, except for the final game, many a oontender with scores around 590 had rofled better duckpins than Huffman, Huffman's first four games appeared destined to relegate him to oblivion as far as this year's suburban stakes were concerned, but the Bethesdan, of whom little has been heard this year, rattled off 10 consecutive marks for nearly 20 pins to boost a set apparently headed for the "'550" class to 663, 15 sticks bet- ter than that of the runner-up, Sam Corcoran of Georgetown. Huffman, a member of Bethesda's 1929 onal championship team, struggled in his first three games as he has few times since he became an ex- pert bowler. Then he rolled 147 and 194, Huffman shot fine duckpins in those final two games, but not even the most expert bowlers can expect $o net 341 pins in two games. He will have to roll more consistently ¥ he means to figure, despite his lead. URTEEN of the 46 contenders shot over 600 on those Bethesds last week and each, in addition to a few in the 90's or better, still are very much in the running. Few cham- pionships are won by the bowler out week sweepstakes, as Louis Pantos, pace- maker in the Howard Campbell stakes, will attest. Sam Corcoran of Georgetown rolled well to garner 648 sticks and second place. Harwood Naylor of Hyattsville, although only 17 years old, may spring another “Babe Dugas” on the more ex- perienced pinspillers. He shot 634 to assume third place. i San Benson, Rey Parks, Oscar Hiser, Boots Holloran, Joe FPreschie, Bert Lynn, Bill Barrett. Ray Houck, Hugh Crawiey, Jack Talbert and George Ise- High Ind.

By the Assoclated Pres EW YORK, February 5.—A cracked rib has lifted Balva-| tore Ruggirello, big Italian | heavyweight, out of the ranks | of the preliminary boys into & | 15-round feature bout against Ernie Schaaf of Boston in Madison Square Garden tonight. The cracked rib was suffered by | Paulino Uzcudun, veteran Spaniard, and | forced Paulino to withdraw from the | Schaaf bout in Ruggirello's favor, The Italian three months ago never would have been given consideration as a possible opponent for a hen\yv\emht‘ of Schaaf’s capabilities, but knockout victories,over Walter Cobb of Baltimore | and Btanley Poreda of Jersey City in his last two bouts have changed all | that. Ruggirello was on the short end of 10-to-1 betting against Cobb, but he landed a right-hand punch on Cobb's ohin before the fight had fairly gotten under way and the Baltimore boy went down and out. Same Dose to Poreda. Poreda, considered by many critics | the best prospect among the younger heavyweights, was a 4-to-1 shot over Ruggirello, but again the Italian put over that right hand and Poreda had | no further interest in the evening's pro- ceedings. Ruggirello knows little about boxing and apparently cares less, but when he hits them they stay hit | Arthur Huttick, who gave Paulino his | cracked rib in training, was selected to take Ruggirello's place against Eddie Benson of New York in one of tonight's eight-rounders, Paul Cavalier, New Jersey heavy, is matched against Andy Mitchell of the California Mitchells and Enzo Fiermonte, Italian middleweight clashes with Jack Wilson of New York in other eight-rounders.

Another doubles match, featuring the duo of Joe Pricci and Joe Harrison against Louis Pantos and Jack Talbert, also will be rolled in the afternoon. A singles match between Talbert and Harrison may be arranged. The evening's program, starting at 8 ‘clock, will smack of an interna- ional flavor. Tony Santini, Campbell Sweepstakes champ, and Joe Pricci, who established an all-time District | record with 188 several years ago, will oppose a Greek duo of Louis Pantos and Nick Chaconas. Two singles matches will bring to- gether Pantos and Santini and Priccl and Chaconas.

Washington Golf and Country Club to Revive Women’s Event BY W. R. McCALLUM. OR the first time in eight years a women's golf championship is to be held this year at the Wash- ington Golf and Country Club, | The Executive Committee representing the women golfers of the club met yes- terday and decided to hold a title even this year. Not since 1924, when the late Phyliss Keeler Miller won the club champlonship, has a title event for the | fair golfers of the Washington Club been held. Since that time Mrs. Dorothy White Nicolson has developed her game until today she is regarded as one of the top notch golfers of the city, and probably the leading player of the Washington Club. Mrs. Nicolson, Dorothy White, won the District women's title four years in_a row. i Mrs. Douglas Tschiffely is the chair- man of the women's Golf Committe at Washington, with Mrs, Willlam E Hall serving as secretary of the commit- | @ tee. In addition to the championship, the committee has decided to hold eight other golf tournaments during the year 1932. The men's champion of club is Henry D. Nicholson.

This fee gives golf privileges for the entire day, regardless of the number of rounds played. Women golfers are permitted to play free of charge on Tuesdays. 0 plans to make several improvements on the course this year, with the specific changes to be announced later. White Flint is the home club of R. CIiff Mc- Kimmie, the long-hitting former ama- | teur from Bannockburn, who turned ssional about five years ago and vear won the Middle Atlantic tch play championship. McKimmie s the course record at 65, & record which will take considerable beating .| for White Flint is by no means an easy layout, The putting greens are small i undulating and the course has am- ple_length When the old course of the Harper Club was taken over the members of the Reorganization Committee were faced with a big task, for the course had not been taken care of for three months, fairwa 1 putting greens were out of condition and the lavout had run down. But they buckled down to the task of getting it in condition and now White Flint is in first-class | shape.

Eight or nine years ago Mac- | Kenzie was rated among the first half dozen golfers in the Mid-Atlantic sector TARTING with a 5 and a 6 on the first two holes, Freddie McLeod, the little miracle worker of Columbia worked himself out a 69 over his home course two days ago, continuing the fine form he has shown since early in the Winter. Although the course was slow and soggy and McLeod is supposed to be a short hitter, he played the last 16 holes of t Columbia layout in four better than par. He finished 3, 4, 4, 2 which is two better than par for hat stretch of the distance His best round this Winter is the 70 he shot several days ago when the wind blew a gale over the Columbia course. On that day, according to McLeod. golfing conditions were o mis- erable that the third green could be SPORTS,’ reached only by two Wwooden elub shots, and it was hard %o stand up to a shot against the wind. McLeod al- ways has been able to put on & fine show in the wind and is generally re- garded as one of the finest players in the world in a big wind. Back in 1908 he and Willie Smith played off a tle for the open championship in a gale and Preddie won by hitting the 11 “under the wind.” He still retains that ocunning.
