THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1922. “MULDOON NOT RESIGNING BUT WARRING ON BETTORS owt =». Chairman of Boxing Board Says PEE PE Intends to Continue in Office and Stamp Out Gambling Evil, but will Resign if Requested —List of Gamblers Will Be Sent Each Club, and They’ll All Have to Keep Undesirables Out. By Ed Van Every. W “con MULDOON, Chairman of the New York State Athleti: Commission, will make the most drastic move yet attempted to wipe out tae gambling evil from the boxing game, Any person, or persons, known as having no regular means of livelihood other than the business of gambling will be barred from every fight club within the jurisdiction of the Boxing Commission or the club promoters will be called to account. This was Mr. Muldoon’s answer to a query as to whether there was any truth in the rumor that ae was about to resign head of the boxing commission, in view of the change in administraton. “1 expected this rumor,” said Muldoon last night. “I have given no thought to resigning. As a matteref fact my appointment by Gov. Miller as Chairman of the State Athistic Commission was for a term of three years dating from July 1, 1921, My term of office, therefore, docs not expire for quite some time. | will continue in office, giving my best ‘efforts to correct the evils of the boxing game, until my term of office has expired. Of course, if the new administration requests me to step down before, | am quite ready to do so. \ “Having undertaken this job I will it through to the end. It has ‘not been a particularly pleasant one. In the two days a week I give without salary to the affairs of the boxing commission I try to do six days’ work, Naturally, I din-forced to infringe upon my own personal business more than I would wish. But I will continue to go through with every plan I have in mind for the good of the boxing game so long as 1 am regarded as respon- sible for its welfare, “One OF the greatest eyiis the boxing game musi fighi against is ihe gambling element. Gamblers almost killed baseball and if wo not careful they will get In their work at the expense of the boxing game. I am now at work on a list which will embrace all such persons as aro known to bo gamblers. This list, when completed, will be posted with every fight club and every one named on this list is to be barred as a patron from every club under the jurisdiction of this commission. “No doubt certain parties on this list will attempt to force their way in at the vgrious fights. They will do so at the msk of forcible ejection. If they wish f6 bring sult against the commission they are Nau! weieoms to go as far as they like, * “But this much I have positively decided on: that all pereua reputed to be gamblers and known to have no other means of livelihood will positively be barred from fight clubs. 1 am going to make the strongest fight I am cap- able of to stamp out the gambling evil so long as I am»Chairman of the box- ing commission.” Doubtiess there will be quite some excitement in certain sections when the list of non-welcorhe customers has been completed by Mr. Muldoon for perusal by the management of the various fight clubs.

Jess Willard has been travelling around in the West, training and going through vaudeville stunts alter nately. Jess says that he finda it im- possible to pin Jack Dempsey down to a return match—or has found it impossible up to date. He still hopes to get on with Dempsey in his big fight next sunmer. Willard seems sincere when he claims that he will win back the heavyweight title if he ever fights Dempsey again. His su~- preme faith in his bulk and power und boxing skill may have been shaken’at Toledo, but it never was jarred entirely out ot him. A char~ scteristic of the human mind is that t retains a vivid picture of triumphs snd quickly allows impressiona of lefeat to fade. What Willard doesn’t understand is that Dempsey would jump at a chance to give him a return match. The cne thing againet the return match ts that the public has no con- fidence jn Willard's ability to make. a fight of it. Willard hasn't done anything to show that he still has fighting ability, The public ly thinks the former cham- pion Is looking for a ble chunk oof money, even if he has to take a beat- ing to et it. The promoters and boxing commi\s- sions are gulded by public opinion. It wasn’t true, as so many have claimed, that Willard was in poor condition at Toledo. He wasn't in his Havana shape by a long shot, but he was probably in as good conditton as he could reach with two months of tiaining. The fight was entricly one- sided because Dempsey beat Willard to the first punch and nearly knocked him out. Jess never had a chance to fight. His eondition was shown by the way he took enough punishment to knock out half a dozen ordinary heavyweights Probably Willard never can get in- to even his Toledo condition again. He won the championship in 1916, boxed one ten round bout with Frank Moran and was knodéked out by Demp- sey In 1919, Next spring tt will havo been eight years since Willard beat Johnson and was in real fighting con- dition, He is still a powerful man, fit to beat any other heavyweight but Dempsey, but he is slow, No slow man can ever beat Dempsey. No slow man can.hit Dempsey. Dempsey can hit any slow man as easily as he ean punch a bag. That lets Willard sut as a championship possibility un~ vess he performs a miracle in train~- ing and regains his ancient speed. GIBBONS-BRENNAN BOUT A GOOD IDEA. Mr, Muldoon's proposition to let Dempsey meet the winner of an elimination bout between Tom Gib- bons and Bill Brennan ie fair enough. Gibbons beat Miske easily, showing speed and skill that might bother even Dempsey. Brennan ts big and tough enough to fight Demp- sey without risking his life And why should any one say arbitrarily that Dempsey can't be beaten? The champion is no more immune to a hard punch on the chin than any other good strong man. At least give the other fellows a chance. yood idea, though, to suggest a ibbons-Brennan match. These ‘‘con- tenders’ seem to avold each other and pick up all the easy marks. Or Gibbons or Brennan might be sent loyd Johnson before long. youngster is showing more fight stuff than’ any of them and with The {nj a iittle more experience will have ar much right as any of the bunch to try for a ght with the champion, (Copyright 1ve2 by Hobert Bdgren.)
