{FW-BRITAIN DAILY HERALN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1023, w JACK KEARNS ABANDONS ALL PLANS FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP MILL FOR DEMPSEY — GOLF WITH MEALS IS THE LATEST FAD TO HIT CHICAGO —DENIAL 1S MADE AT YALE THAT TRAINER MACK WILL BE DISPLACED BY NED MARRIAM — BOXER DIES IN HOSPITAL AFTER BEING KAYOED HEARNS ABANDONS PLANS FOR BOLTS Dempsey's Manager Not (o Con- sider Any More Rids for Scraps offi- yes- for the future, New York, Feb. welght cehampionship situation clally became a closed incident terday afternoon, at prosent and the immed Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Demp- sey, the titleholder, announced that he was not now considering u bid for Dempsey's services in a title bout and that he did not intend to consider any future bids until he was assured that Dempsey's appearance in a hout against any of his challengers would not arouse officlal opposition Kearns' announcement was in an- swer to the bid submitted by Tom U'Rourke, Polo Grounds matchmak- er, for Dempsey's services in contem- plated bouts against Joe Beckett, English heavyweight champion, and Harry Wills, New Orleans negro challengers for the world's title. O'Rourke visited Kearns' offices with a certified check for 850,000 which the matchmaker sald he was pre- pared to deposit as a guarantee of good faith in his bid. The check was made payable to the state ath- letie commission After conferring with O'Rourke, Kearns made known his decision to abandon whatever plans he had entertained for a title bout. O'Rourk: st approved the stand of Kearns and added that as match- maker for the Republic A, C., he, too, would call a halt in his efforts to get Dempsey's signature to a con- tract. O'Rourke declared he would withdraw, temporarily as a bidder. But the Polo Grounds matchmaker emphasized that he had not perma- nently abandoned hopes of conduct- ing a bout in which Dempsey's title would be involved. Will Not Oppose Officials. “There's nothing else we can do but end negotiations here and now,” said Kearns in explaining his deci- sion to ignore all bids for Dempsey's services. “There is no heavyweight championship match that will be per- mitted here now, since the state ath- jetic commission has declared itself against any title bout in which Demp- sey would be a principal. It would be a waste of time to devote further attention to bids and negotiations. I have a champion who is ready and eager to defend his title against any- bedy but the comm permit him to engage in a title bout. 1 have no desire to antagonize the commission. T do not want to fly in the face of constituted authority. As I see it the best thing that can be done now is td withdraw gracefully until conditions improve. And that's what I'm going to do.” Kearns said the future plans of Dempsey are undecided because of the unexpected turn events took in the negotiations for a title contest. Dempsey's father is ill in Salt Lake city and it is possible the champion will make a hurried trip to his home unless his father's condition improves soon.

MR, LAMMER STEPS THROUGH THE HOTEL CORRIDOR FEELING TALKS ON SPORT Dr. Charles W. Kennedy of Princton ys Athletics Should Be Correlated or Intellectual Purposes. Princeton, N. J., Feb. 6.—"The cen- tral problem in the control of college athletics,” writes Dr. Charles W, Ken- | nedy, '03, n week's Princeton’ Alumni Weekly, “is to correlate thera to the high intellectual purposes of the college in as subordinate a post- | tion as possible without loss of real value,” Dr. Kennedy is professor of English at Princeton and a member of the board of athletic control. In| a foreword to his articie, however, he makes it clear that he is writing as an individual, and is not expressing the view of any committee or organiza- tion. He deplores the exaggerated im- portance given intercollegiate athletic contests by the public, but gees on te say that “the last quarter of a cen- tury has seen a very considerable| progress toward clean sport.” He cites | the western conference agreement and | the Harvard-Yale-Princeton agree- | ment as examples of this, and says the | “tramp” athlete is now virtually a thing of the past. The rise of the amateur coach and the increased em-| phasis placed upon intramural games; for the whole student body are fur- ther milestones of progress, Dr. Ken- nedy says. ME.
