Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

'M'EW YORK, Jan. 27.—Admitting in the opening sentence that Mr. Jack Dempsey can change his mind quicker than one of Professor Billy Minsky’s dimpled dumplings can switch from the red beads to the purple, the gentleman assures me by wire that there is no malarkey about his comeback. ' I'll fight, somebody in September, maybe sooner, and It will be a regular fight." he I hope so. 1 wouldn't want to see v e ., y getting Into any irregular ones at this late date. It interests me to note that he has adopted a different formula for his current comeback. Instead of going into the hills anu getting Into shape against an odd assortment of battered hulks he is playing one night stands against anybody the local Promoters produce for him. This formula has the very satisfying vtrVteldlng profitable box office returns with each performance, and because of tnis there Is a tendency to view the Dempsey comeback with skeotlclsm. Whv come back at all, if he can make plenty of money by merely pretending to? Don't ask tne to answer this one. Appreciating the fluctuating qualities of the gentleman's mind, that with him a firm resolve on Tuesday may be something entirely different twenty-four hours later, J Prefer, to wait until I see him dually in the ring What interests me at the moment is Dempwy a changed conditioning system. Will it work out better than the old? Off hand, you might say It couldn't work out worse. A lot. of course, depends on bow much Dempsey has left. It isn't conceivable that he has any more now than he had when he started to get ready for the first Tunnev fight.

SCHMELING was a much better fighter against Stribling in Cleveland than he had ever shown himself to bt before, despite the fact lhat he had been idle for a year. Why was that? The long schedule of one night stands sharpened his speed and his timing, improved his boxing and his hitting. , But lust because this kind of work . Schmellng It doesn’t follow that It will help Dempsey. Not to the same extent. anyway. Schmcllng Is a youngster coming up. and Dempsey has long since seen his best ring days. It Just Isn't in the books for a fighter In his 30's to be as good as he was in his 20’s. 1 happened to be with Dempsey when he started his come back for the Tunney fight. The first Indication that, he really Intended to come back was the announcement that he had set up a training camp on a mountain in the obscure town of Hendersonville, N. C. There was some mystery why he had picked Hendersonville. Up t.o that time I don't believe Dempsev nad ever heard cf the place. It turned out that Hendersonville had caught the backwash of the Florida boom. The local realtors wanted a name with which to bait, the customers. 7o 1 i e s„„ d< i clde, J on Dempsey. It cost them $30,000 for three weeks. The idea was to catch the Florida tourists on the rebound. In those dizzy days it. wasn't considered fantastic to own both an oceanview mansion and a mountainside lodge. Subdivisions were staked out, all over the mountain, some of them dangling at angles that would have crushed the lay spirits of an Alpine climber. tt it u IN the afternoons big busses from adjacent towns would come lumbering up the rising corkscrew inclines stuffed with prospective customers, being regaled the while by a megaphone barker who described in ornate detail the primitive charm of the place and the sound security of the investment. When the busses disgorged their load, Dempsey would begin his work in an outdoor ring, snorting and slamming away at such formldables as Farmer Lodge, Tilly Kid Herman and Marty Farrell. Somehow the Dempsey show always got a bigger play than the realtors. Maybe it was because It didn't cost anything. The boom had already died but Hendersonville hadn’t henrd about it. Those were Interesting days. The Dempsey romance was still flaming. There were no telephones on the mountain. Dempsey had one installed in his shack and each night for three weeks without a miss ho called Los Angeles to talk with Estelle. His total phone bill was close to $2,000. Yes, those were interesting days. Dempsey was still the invincible man mauler, hlissfullv oblivious of the fate that awaited him at. Philadelphia.' Tex Richard was still the miracle man of the box ofllce. And a lot of critics were writing what an outrage it was that, nobody would give poor old Harry Wills a chance.

—Stove League Chatter — BY EDDIE ASII

JOE DAWSON, brother of Rex of Indianapolis pitching fame, will return to baseball and will go to training camp with the Pirates this spring. Joe passed up hurling a few years ago to become instructor in a flying school at Pittsburgh and the depression finally caught up with the venture and blew the wind out of it. Hence the baseball comeback. Joe used to pitch for Kansas City and Louisville and believes the raised seam on the new ball will assist him to make good all over again. an tt Fittsb.irgh has a roster of thirty-five pastimers to take to the Pirate camp in California, seventeen of the members being: throwers. A mound squad of that sire will supply the hitters with all the swinging they can stand. It is said George Grantham, veteran infielder, is slated to he sold or used in a deal. Waivers avc been asked on Steve Swetonic, ace. of .he Indianapolis staff in 1918. tt tt .Toe Engel. popular prexy of the Chattanooga Southern Association club, is usually Rood for a laush nny time, but Joe is moaning now. His team is scheduled to open the season in Knoxville, where attendance for the lid lifter will be about ti.OOO. maybe. In the past Chattanooga opened at home or in Atlanta with Rates showing attendance of between 14 000 end 18.000. Atlanta also is crying, being booked to open at Nashville, 1931 last place club. a o a

Newspapermen of Brooklyn and Now York voted, by request, on a name for the Brooklyn team and the. decision was the old monicker Dodgers. It is said Flatbush officials will let it go at that. With Wilbert Robinson removed as manager the name Robins was considered as out and a long search failed to unearth any name more appropriate than Dodgers. There was some talk for a time of using the name Kings. tt a tt Order* Issued by Connie Mark last spring: made a better pitcher of George 1 arnsbaw. In 1929 he was taken out of nineteen games and was removed from the same number In 1930. Mark told him at the start of the 1931 season he never would be placed among the really great hurlers unless he cured .he practice of looking to the bench for relief when the going got tough. Asa result Earnshaw pitched twenty-three complete games in 1931. was taken out of seven and acted as relief hurler in eleven, llis record was twenty-one victories and seven defeats. Connie knows best. a a a Fred Marberry. ace of the Washington mound staff, wants to know what it takes to rate a salary raise in the American League He won sixteen tilts and lost only tour last vear and twelve of his victories were consecutive. Hence, it seems Marberrv Is entitled to register a grievance over the wage reduction the Senators .sged him to accept He doesn't care to be I sted as a holdout and will confer with Owner Griffith. He is tagged to pitch the opening 1933 game against Boston. * tt a IT is interesting to compare the records of the key men who will perform in the Brooklyn outfield this year. In 1930 the combined average of O’Doul. Herman. Wilson and Frederick hit the sky at .366. In 1931 the same four all tumbled and their combined average fell off 69 points to .297. O'Doul was with the Phillies in 1930 and Wilson was with the Cubs both years. The deadened ball and abolishment of the sacrifice fly had much to do with reducing swat averages.

Off The Backboard BY VERN BOXELL

Even if Shortridge did get bumped by Washington’s Continentals, you can't figure ’em out of this battle.

Philip Wrigley Will Carry On for Father World Championship, Life’s Ambition of Late Chicago Cub’s Owner, Goal of 1932 Bruins; Gum Magnate Spent Million Seeking Laurels; Fun for Him. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Jan. 27.—The goal of the Chicago Cubs will remain the same as it was when William wrigley Jr. was alive—the world championship. Under the leadership of Rhilip K. Wrigley, the Cubs will be conducted on the same high plane that they were during the regime of hia father, who died Tuesday in Phoenix, Ariz., without realizing his life's ambition of owning a team supreme in the baseball world. In his sixteen years of connection with the Cubs, Wrigley spent more money than all except one magnate—Colonel Jake Ruppert of the New York Yankees—to build up a world championship team. The sum is estimated at $1,000,000, but any sum is a guess. Wrigley often paid baseball expenses out of his own pocket because baseball was a hobby

In the semi-windup of eight rounds Tuesday night Young Stuhlev, Kewanee (111.) middleweight, took the verdict over Rosy Kid Baker of Anderson. The boys threw a lot of gloves, but Baker was outboxed bv his taller opponent and failed to do much impressive scoring until the last of the fight. The boys worked hard and supplied constant entertainment. Baker appeared to have the harder punch, but couldn’t land it in the proper spots to keep Stuhiey away from him. Glen Camp, Kewanee lightweight, and Joe Veney. South Bend, mixed in a whirlwind scheduled six-rounder and Veney’s second tossed in the towel after the fourth round. Veney was down once in the third stanza and three times In the fourth. Camp launched a vicious attack in the second canto and kept going. The lads kicked up a lot of resin as they piled into each other. George Veney, South Bend junior welterweight. connected with a powerful right uppercut near the close of the sixth round, and Steve Rozina, Kewanee, was knocked cold. It was a fast and hard-fought scrap and Veney held an edge previous to landing the haymaker. George Downey, Indianapolis Junior lightweight, and Roy Nidy, Terre Hi.ute, met in the six-round opener. The judges failed to agree on the verdict and Referee awarded the honors to Downev. Times believed Nidy was entitled to the edge.

with him—a million-dollar hobby. Even though he was identified with professional sports he was one of the greatest amateur sportsmen in the world. It wasn't his desire to have the Cubs make money for him although they did during the last four years. Veeck Gets Job That, however, was because of the clever direction of the team's affairs by William Veeck, president of the club and a former newspaper man, who once made the remark: "Well, I wish I was running the Cubs. I’d show you how to get a winner and make money.” The remark was repeated to Wrigley. Soon after that he hired Veeck as business manager, and a year later made him president. The Cubs have prospered under Veeck's direction, but it wasn't prosperity that Wrigley wanted, it was a 'world championship team. That was the reason he released Joe McCarthy as manager and ordered Hack Wilson disposed of. Wrigley liked McCarthy personally, but he felt he was no longer abie to control the Cubs’ players. Faith in Hornsby He hired Hornsby and backed him to the last ditch. He was convinced Hornsby tvould enable him to realize his life's ambition of owming a world championship team. It was Wrigley's opinion that Hornsby was the greatest player he ever saw in action. Wrigley' spent big money on baseball. He paid $200,000 and tossed in five players for Hornsby. He paid more high salaries than any magnate in the game, not excluding Colonel Jake Ruppert. "When I was young I didn’t have much time to have a good time ” Wrigley once said. “I like baseball. It gives me a chance to have a lot of fun.”
