TWO CAREERS
ARE TOGGING
AT DEMPSEY
Is to Remain In Box
ing Game, But Will
It Be As Promoter
Or As a Fighter?
By EDWARD J. NEIL
Avioriatrd l’ress Sports Writer
MIAMI BEACH. Fla.. Feb. 23.—
(/Pi—The undercurrents ol fistiana
are tugging two ways on the deb
onair person of Jack Dempsey.
For ten years, now. ever since the
giant Jess Willard collapsed under
the drum fire of the fighting fury
that was Demnsey in his prime, the
man mauler of Manassa has been
the greatest drawing card in the
history of the ring. He is still that
and one of the strong currents Is
tugging in the direction of more
and bigger fisticuffs.
But the other current is hauling
him steadily along the course of his
latest triumnh—the successful pro
motion of Jack Sharkey’s punch
party with Young Stribling. the
Georgia slasher . Now that it is a
success, with a profit of at least
$50,000 assured before the leather
slingers step into the ring at Fla
mingo Park next Wednesday night,
the betting is "six. two and even"
tliat Dempsey will handle his fights
in the future from outside the
ropes.
"As soon as this fight is over." he
said today. “I'll have something to
announce one way or another. Pro
moting I think, is right down my
alien. But if Madison Souare Gar
den can show me where I can make
some real money, though. I can
change my mind.
"Regardless of wliat I do when
this match is over—and I have a
chance to think it all over—1 11 al
ways be connected with the fight
game. I mav fight again, or I may
promote matches on my own hook.
I may manage fighters or sell tick
ets or somethine. but I’ll be staying
right in the only business I know.”

By O. B. KEELER
! do not remember of what or 1
j whom St. Augustine was or is patron I
saint, but it’s curious how the lady 1
golf champions of the United States
■ seem to lead off by winning the
annual Florida East Coast champion
ship at St. Augustine. Its fifth play
i **\R comes this spring, March 5 to 9,
with a fine field, and a lot of us will
fbe watching its progress with a deep
interest.
The last two times Miss Glenna
Collett has won the rational cham
pionship—in 1925 and 1928—she
started the early spring season by
winning the Florida East Coast title. I
These are the only times Glenna
has won the St. Augustine affair.
To make the coincidence somewhat
more conspicuous Miss Virginia Van
Wi*. who was runner-up to Mis*
Collett, in the 1928 national, occu
pied the same position with her «t
St. Augustine last spring.
While Glenna again is wintering
at Finehurst, it is virtually assured
that she will compete in the coming
Florida East Coast event, for two
excellent reasons—it serves as an
important preliminary as well as a
symptomatic encouragement ahead of
the natic^al, and if Glenna wins it
one more Time, making three in all,
she achieves permanent possession
of the beautiful trophy offered by
Mrs. Kenan five years ago for the
event.
The other winners of the trophy
are Miss Van Wie and Miss Orcutt,
who will be in the field this year.
Miss Helen Hick«, the 18-year-old
Long Island schoolgirl, known about
the Salisbury Hub as H^avy-Hitting
Helen, will make her debut in Flor
ida golf at St. Augustine. She re
cently won the Bermuda champion
ship.

Wachtel Goes To
Buffs After Many

PORT WORTH. Tex., Feb. 23.—
VP)—Paul Wachtel, last survivor of
the great pitching staff that carried
the Fort Worth Panthers to six
straight Texas league flags and five
Dixie series victories, found himself
today on the staff of the Houston
Buffaloes.
In exchange for the veteran splt
baller Fort Worth received Carl
Littlejohn and Dick Whitworth,
Houston righthanders. Littlejohn,
Trinity University product, was car

but pitched few’ games. He is con
sidered a bright prospect.
Wachtel in his prime was one of
the most feared hurlers in the mi
nor leagues. He w’on 16 games for
the Cats last season and should
make a valuable addition to the
Buffalo mound corps.

namite in his right hand is no
myth, but, in doing so he found one
Jaw that refused to yield under a
pounding from that notent weapon.
Making his second appearance in
Madison Square Garden since he
knocked out Knute Hansen. Christ
ner dropped the decision to Paulino
Uzcudun. rough woodchopper from
Spain, in an exciting ten-round
match in Madison Square Garden
last night.
The decision was eminently fair,
for Paulino, after a bad start, came
back to give the Akron slugger a
thorough trouncing in all but the
last of the final eight rounds.
In the final session, Christner,
army-weary as he was, staggered
the sturdv Basque with one ter
rific right to the Jaw and then
sought vainly an opening for a fin
ishing punch. Paulino, undoubted
edlv badly hurt, rallied his failing
senses long enough to step inside
the next right hand bolt Christner
his wav and then bored in too close
for the Akron fighter to use his
only effective weapon. The final
bell found a groggy but courageous
Paulino whaling away with both
hands to Chrlstner's body.
