Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. July s.—The latest development In the Dempsey situation happily reaches anew high level in absurdity. I say “happily” because I thought it was impossible to reach any higher levels. Dempsey is quoted as having phoned Bill Duffy, the Broadway cabaret man, from the west coast urging him (Mr. Duffy) to take over his management and proceed immediately to make matches for him, with any and everybody. 808 It seems that whilp Dempsey was phoning Duffy, Gene Normi’c, one of his former managers, was at his elbow. Singularly enough, Normile desired to make an offer at that very moment for Dempsey’s services for a fight to he held in late December in Mexico. BBS NORMILE GOT ON THE PHONE AT DEMPSEYS REQUEST AND OFFERED DUFFY SSDC.OOO FOR DEMFSEY'S FIGHTING AUTOGRAPH BUT ‘,500.000 WAS NOT ENOUGH FOR DUFFY. HE DECLARED HE VOULD HAVE TO HAVE $750,000, 'AND MAVBE I.'OPE s a a DUFFY al.o add°d that if Bill Carey of the Garden has any idea of and ••mu u incss with Dempsey he will have to come around and see him. Obviously all of this is strictly the hooey. There is a very large catch in it somewhere. B B tt Just what (he trick angle is I am not sure. But if anybody thinks Dempsey needs DufTv or anybody else to get him a match he is cr-jr fjuffy is a very affable young man and a popular figure amoni (he boulevardiers, but the suggestion (hat Dempsey needs him to clinch a business trans- \ action is a bit far fetched, if not laughable. BUB THE NOP MU E TOUCH IS EQUALLY j AMUSING NORMILE IS A3 CLOSE TO DEMPSEY AS HIS BEARD. THE TWO. j WITH OTHERS. WERE PARTNERS IN j THE OPERATION OR THE TIA JUANA j RACE TRACK LAST WINTER. I WAS ! WITH NORMILE WHEN HE HANDED j DEMPSEY A CHECK FOR HIS SHARE OF j THE SWAG FROM THU TRACK IN A, FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL IN MAY. B B a IF Normile has $500,000 to offer Dempsey and any intention of offering it you can be reasonably; sure he isn't going to make the offer j through Duffy, Addison or even old j Gus Pancake. Furthermore, the j possibility of a Dempsey match-in Mexico under the auspices of j Normile and his associates was first i broached two r.Hindis ago and I happen to know it was just as much , Dempsey’s idea as Normile’s. b a b OF MUCH GREATER INTEREST THAN ; THE POSSIBILITY THAT DUFFY MAY j BE THE NEW DEMPSEY MANAGER IS 1 THE FUTURE OF THE OLD MAN MAUL- ! ER HIMSELF. IT BEGINS TO APPEAR 1 THAT HE IS TAKING PRETTY DEFINITE ! STEPS TOWARD A RETURN TO THE ; RING. THOUGH WHEN HE LEFT THE ! EAST HE LET IT BE KNOWN THAT HE j HAD NO SUCH INTENTIONS. 808 DON T.LF-.T ANYBODY TELL YOU "HAT DEMPSEY ISN i INTERESTED IN ADD- 1 ING FROG SKINS TO HIS BANKROLL, i HI.-) PROBLEM IS SIMPLE IN ONE WAY I AND COMPLICATED IN ANOTHER HE WANTS THE MONEY AND HE WANTS SOMEONE HE FIGURES HF HAS MORE: THAN AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF BEATING- EVIDENCE HE SEES IN MAX ' SCHEMELING TEE ANSWER TO BOTH j GAX.S LOSES VERDICT Bu Times Special PITTSBURGH.

Bell-Seligson Struggle Features National Clay Court Schedule

Decathlon in Spotlight at A.A.U.Games ; Bu United Press DENVER Colo., July 5 —Aspirants for the National A. A. U. Decathlon championship took over the field and track here today in a duel for all-round athletic honors for 1929. The twelve men entered included a number of champions in the various events which were on the program, as well as Kenneth Doherty of Detroit, the present champion. A stiff wind, into which the sprinters had to run, made the manufacturing of new world's records in the dashes out of the question in the senior division games Thursday, but in spite of the handicap four A. A. U. marks were shattered. The new records are: Pol? Vault —Frederic Sturdy. I.os Angeles V C., IS ft.. AY in.. 'Old meet record. 13 ft., 9 In.) niseu* —Eric Krenr. Olympic Club.

C. was a close second with 39 and University of Washington third, 18. The meet, so far as team honors were concerned was a complete victory for the Pacific Coast. The running of the “century” was a brilliant, feature Thursday, with Eddie Tolan, Michigan Negro star, winning by a shade. The five speedsters m the final were so nearly abreast at the finish that the result was not known until the judges announced a decision. Tolan came back later and proved he was the fastest dash man of the day by easily winning the 220-yard dash, when he distanced a brilliant field and annexed his second championship of the day. LOUGHRAN OVERWEIGHT Bu United Press HOOSICK FALLS, N. Y., July 5. Tommy Loughran, light heavyweight champion of the world, must' cut his weight eight pounds in the next two weeks if he is to enter the ring for his title bout in New York with James J.

BY DICK MILLER The national clay court tennis championships went intercollegiate today with fans on edge for the Berkeley Bell-Julius Seligson quarter finals singles battle scheduled for 2:30 this afternoon. Thursday was a day of upsets in which Kieth Gledhill. youthful star of Santa Barbara, Cal., sunk the hopes of Tamio Abe, the Japanese Davis cup star in straight sets. | Emmettt Pare, Chicago, came ! from behind and sent Wray Brown | out of the chase for the title and : Herbert Bowman, New York, dampened any hopes Dr. Arthur Ham of ’Toronto, Canada, might have Mad :of winning the championship. Bryant Grant Jr, Atlanta, Ga., closed the series of upsets with a victory over Harris Coggeshall of Bes Moines, la.

Bell is 1929 intercollegiate champion. Bell staged a great rally on Thursday to defeat Ben Gorchakoff, west coast colllege star.

Brown Erratic Wray Brown won the first set against Pare, 6-1. Pare took the next three sets, 7-5, 6-4 and 6-0. Brown was wild and seemed out of practice. Bryan Grant, the high ranking southern player, took Coggeshall in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1 and 6-2. There was no doubt about the outcome of the Fritz Mercur-G. M. Serrano match from the time Mercur served first. The Bethlehem (Pa.) player, No. 7 in national ranking, set the fans on edge by winning every game of the two sets and he was in the sixth game of the third set before the St. Louisan won a game.

Donald Cram, Nashville, Tenn., rallied to win the i third set from Seligson, but the New j Yorker made it a love set in the ; final. Other quarter final matches to- : day found Emmett Pare and Her- j bert Bowman meeting at 1:30 and ; Fritz Mercur and J. G. Hall tangling at the same time, The PareBowman match was expected to be a thriller. At 2:30, Gledhill was to clasn with Bryan Grant. D. K.
