AMERICAN GIUS SET RECORD IN RELAI
Gene Tunney's announcement
last week that he had withdrawn
from th? ring forever, was a heavy
blow to the heavyweight ranks,
and leaves the heavyweight situ
ation in a condition more compli
cated than the one of last winter.
WITHOUT A CHAMP ‘
Last winter Tex Jtickard did
hare a champion to deal with
and the elimination tourna
ment was staged in an effort
to round up a man to act as
challenger in the ring with
the champion, but the next
tournament will be different,
and Mr. Rickard will have
more work to do because the
next series of elimination
bouts will be staged in an ef
fort to find not one man to
fight, but to find two men to
scrap over the title that haa
been left open-handed by
Professor Tunney.

Wilk’s players hit another rut
Friday afternoon when they lost

WASHINGTON —(JP)— The re

fpion and Tex Rickard has too
much business sense to interfere
and exorcise hjs right as the czar
of the business.
It is not hide nor hair off the
well known public's frame to have
an opinion and the public must
have its ordained right to give an
opinion on the new champion even
if he is not crowned.
And, in this present season of
straw vote vpgucs, we have a
guess that the public, if asked t>
vote a successor to the scholarly
intellectual, would by an over
whelming majority declare and de
cree that the new‘champion is—
Mr. William Harrison Dempsey.
He has my vote right n:w.

Many motorists race ghead of
