Dempsey And Walker Fail To Appear Before Board By Henry L. Farrell, (V. P. Staff Correspondent) New York. Aug. 4. —Jack Dempsey and Mickey Walker were again on the court calendar of the New York Boxing Commission today and again they did not appear. Dempsey is in California getting over his tight with Jack Kearns and Walker is in Chicago with Kearns getting ready for ' his fight with Billy Wells. Dempsey has asked the commission ers for a stay of execution, but Walk er apparently has twiddled his fingerat them. Instead bf asking Dempsey what hi is going to do about the Wills challenge and putting the question to Walker about the Davie Shade chai;u.„e. C :: ; missmn will now hnvt to answer tile question "what are you going to do about it?" If the commission wants to be severe with Walker, it can. He is licensed as the world's tweltei weight champion in New York and hi also has a SIO,OOO bond posted with the commission; ami a promise that he will accept Shade’s challenge be fore August 15. The commission can suspend Walk er ind forfeit the slo.o<io bond t< Shade but from his recent actions Walker would gladly give up SIO,OOI and live in exile from New York rather than meet Shade. Dempsey's case is far different. The heavyweight champion is not licensed in New r York and he has been saying such sweet words lately in telegrams and interviews that the commission may become soft hearted and weep about the financial troubles he '.as with Jack Kearns. The commission cannot suspend Dempsey for having been so slow in accepting the challenge of Harry Wills, it have him arrested, and the penalty of declaring a champ ionship title vacant was not success ful when it Was tried in the past. James A. Farley, chairman of thi commission, is said to be in fivor o declaring Dempsey the inactive champion and suggesting that Wills meet Gene Tunney and the winner would be recognized as the champion until Dempsey got ready to fight or announced his retirement. , o '■— „ Geneva Baseball Team Defeats Chattanooga, 4-1 (Special To Daily Democrat) Geneva.
