It | was qgualified, however, by the mmn-» ment that the official announcement | would not be made until such a Ilml“ as was deemed wise by the promot- ers; that no papers had been signed, |and that the agreemeént reached was simply a verbal one that would be authoritatively announced later. Pro- moting the bout, it was said, was a yndicate which was now in the pro- cess of formation. No mention was made of the names of the probable promoters. “There is not a thihg in it,” de- clared Mr, Flournoy, when shown the statement sterday. “It is absolute- ly untrue. Nothing has been done ‘n the matt at all, and the story pure conjecture.” Kearns More Emphatic. Kearns, whose protege is taking a turn behind the calcium lights at the Hippodrome until such time as an op- ponent is found for him, was even more emphatic in his denial, stating that he had had no communications whatsoever with anybody concerning the bout being held in New Jersey. Another rumor that went the rounds was that Dempsey's next de- fense of his title would not be made in° America nor in Europe, in a con- test with Georges Carpentier as an opponent, but in Mexico City. It was stated that a syndicate composed of California business men, with strong connections in Mexico, had made a bid for Dempsey to meet an dppon- ent of his own choosing, = preferably Juck Johnson, in the new government amphitheater in Mexico City on July | 4. Men close to boxing affairs, how- ever, stated that although the offer might be a bona fide one, yet it was. doubtful if the match would draw well enough to warrant the promoters in meeting the guarantee that Demp- sey would demand for such an en- egagement.

The Crim- /son hopes thdt this will be the last| time it will have to write about the |intricate question of intercollegiate Itootball, and jocosely heads the edi-| |torial "The Suspe: is Awful,” al-| though the editorial itself is sensible | enough. | The editorial, minus an intro- ductory paragraph, reads as follows: | “We do not agree with The Yale | News that a Board of Control is nec-| essary or advisable. Such a board |would defeat its own purpose of fur-| |ther emphasizing the organizztion of | football. A conference hetween repre- | sentatives of the three colleges could | very casily accomplish all that is es |sential, and it could do it quickly. We believe that the following steps are necessary. 1--Abolish Walter Camps and all other All-American mythical teams; | cut down all publicity as much as 2—Abolish all “Summer” or pre- |college term practice. | —-Abolish all advertising of any lintentional sort of intercollegiate "’"'i liminate as much as possible intersectional contests insofar as this is compatible with playing opponents. of equal strength. The matter of sub- |sidized athletes, clean playing, pro- fessional coaching, and the so-called {“tramp"” athlete, are not problems | which can be cuccessfully dealt with | |by rule; no college need have any 01‘ |these if it does not so choose. Is And than there is the question of | the student bodies. The means of in- |suring good sportsmanship and strict |aggateur standing in college athietics is not through compulsion of any sort | but through the education of college man realizes that the game itself, and not its result, is the really important | [thing in sport, there will be no fear lof professionalism or anything like it.

Philadelphia, Feb, 28— Midget | Smith of New York easily outpointed Mickey Delmont of Newark in the final bout at the Olympia A. A. last night, winning seven out of the eight rounds. Smith was entirely too fast for Del- mont, and gave him an artistic lacing about the body. There were times when Smith showed to good advan- tage, and on several of these occa- sions he rocked the Newark scrapper. Delmont never had a chance with Smith and he was outclassed from the start. He could not penetrate Smith's defense and what few blows he did land did not have enough force to allow him any sort of a showing against the New Yorker.

(By the Associ- lated Press)—If the rccent epidemie of indoor record breaking fin track and field sports can be taken as a gri- terion of what may be expceted w'mn American athletes stick their spikes |into Paris this spring. the prosent list of world records is in for a se- vere shakeup. Within the last three weeks the sport lovers have been amazed by an‘almost continuous re- port of new figures. Atlhletes com- | peting In Buffalo, Boston, New York land other citics swept away records, some of which have bLeen upon the | hooks for years, Joie Ray, of Chicago, was one of the first to set the new pace. The Illinois runner clipped four seconds |off the mile and a half run and then reduced the mile and a quarter rec- ord by five and one-fifth seconds. A few days later Ray made a new world's record of eight minutes 51 2-5 seconds for the threc thousand meter run. McAllister Going Strong. Next came sprinter Boh McAllister, |of this city, who established new [times for the 110, 120, 130 and 150 \\’drd dashes; Allen Woodring, of Syra. cuse university, followed with a new record for the 800 yard run when he did 31 1-5 seconds in the Buffalo Na- tional A.

On the same night in this city Jake Driscoll of Boston | college redficed the 500 yard run rec- ord by three-fifths of a second. Sev- eral other records have been equalled |and still others at odd distances and in the relay class have been broken. With Rubber Soled Shoes. When it is considered that with one exception all these records have been made upon polished armory floors by athletes wearing rubber soled shoes the wonder grows as what will occur when the same runners are able to change smooth soled shoes for spik- ed foot gear and add strength and speed to their stride on cinder tracks. ROSENBERG 'S DECISION. Defeate Marty Cross in Fast Bout in Brooklyn Club Ring. New York, Feb. 28.—Dave Rosen- berg was the victor over Marty Cross in the main bout of the regular Mon- day boxing show at the Broadway Sporting club, Brooklyn, last night. Rosenberg carried the action through all twelve rounds of the bout and won handily. Several times a series of sharp lefts to the body had Cross staggering, but he managed to go the route. Rosenberg weighed in at 157% pounds and Cross at 147. The best boxing of the evening came in the semi-final, however, when Pete Moore defeated Sam Stein in a spirited engagement of ten rounds. The bout was evenly contested from the start. Moore was floored for a few seconds in the third round. But he came back with a vengeance and there was no doubt as to the superior boxer at the finish. e — PALACE — STARTING NEXT SUNDAY Ceell B.
