(UY ART CARLSON)
Comparing tiie relative merits ofi

popular form of diversion. j
It's a pastime wideiy indulged in ;
by the athletic assemblage in Ren- j

Arguments bolh pro and con are
numerous, sometimes a bit heated,
too.
Obviously, they get. no further
than the argumentive stage. For
it would be impossible to get the

the new, or new with the old, if you

Perhaps one of the most discussed
comparisons, however, is that which
involves the fight game. Especially
i.s this true, since )omp-ry has led

Could Champion Jack have

Could he have trimmed Jim Jeffries,

WALKER NOT HOPEFUL FOR
SETTLEMENT OF TROUBLE
Welterweight Champion (jives Views
on Present Difficulties With Ae-w
York Commission.
Chicago. Aug. 4 P Mickey Wal
ker, the welterweight champion, fac
ing indefinite suspension by the Now
York state athletic commission, is
not hopeful for an immediate settle
ment of the trouble.
Walker came here yesterday to
begin training for his lO-rour-.d no
drcision bout with Billy Wells of
Great Britain Friday night at East
Chicago, Ind. At the same time the
New York commission considered
suspension if Walker and Jck
Uempsey do not appear today befire
the commission and ign articles of
agreement for tille matches with
their outstanding challengers Dave
Shade and Harry Wills,
agreed to fight Shade and ray man
straightened out," said Walker. "I
agreed to fight Shade and my Man
ager, Jack Keams, signed for the
bout. But that didn't suit.
"When they had me before the
commission I told them that my
manager would have to sign for me
and talk business for me. That made
them sore, I guess, because they
seem to be off Kearns because he
tried to protect Dempsey by duck
ing Wills. So there doesn't seem to
be much hope for an Immediate set
tlement of the trouble.
"I fought Shade twice and am
ready to fight him again. Perhaps
when Kearns gets here he will talk
matters over about putting the fight
on here.
"The way It looks now, Shade
won't tight me In California, where
T signed to meet him, and the New
York commission will not let me
fight in their territory because
Kearns is my manager. So maybe
we'll have to come to Chicago to put
the thing over."
Kearns Is en route cast from the
raoiflc coast and probably will ar
rive here tomorrow.

In a largo measure succeeded. Mr.
Kearns has been told that hereafter
my professional affairs will be con

anco with my word, the provisions
of his contract with me insofar as
finances are concerned, will be
recognized.
"My earnest intention to malch

from my honeymoon trip to Lurope
still holds. The one match that has
received definite consideration will
be as speedy as possible, to meet tha
demands of your official body.
"There is an inside to all import

"It will be gratifying to me to

have given reasonable consideration
to the time for my personal appear
ince before you."
Dempsey announced that he was
confident the forgoing letter would
convince the boxing commission of
his good faith and that he would
not be suspended at tomorrow's
meeting. All reports to the con
trary ho labeled "propaganda."
