Jack Dempsey Abandons All Battle Plans YORK, Dec. 14 — .1 a.c k n e m p s a y heavyweight • cham pion, said here today that lie has aband oned all fight plans for the Immediate future. Not until the sun shines warm enough to allow a million dollar gate at one of lex Rickards arenas — probably a new one seating under contemplation on Dong Island, will the champion again don the mits. Today Dempsey, who is here for the holidays, took up rehearsal of a snappy line of chatter to be posited out to the public as ‘wise cracks” front the vaudeville stage. He is also rehearsing a dance step. Jack ■ Kearns, manager of the i hampion. who may team with Dempsey in the vaudeville turn, said: "We won’t fight until June at ast. We ll give Firpo the first crack unless the unforseen uevelops.” Dmntfunym ColhflHHm By D AMON BI N YON. KM 1 nrk, Dec. H.—Years from "on-, when the talk turns to fighters, you—who will then be old and gray—will say: Ah. hut you should have seen ■lohnny Dundee, who could make 126 pounds and who fought in four dif ferent classes—featherweight, junior lightweight, lightweight and welter weight. There was a fighler." '"U will not be believed by the pug ilistic fans of the future when you attempt to tell them in detail of Dun dee's prowess. They will think you are exaggerat ing. especially when you tell them that during his active career Dundee held two different world champion ship titles and saw the passing of '.’It championship titleholders. The writer believes that Dundee, ’ight name Gulsseppe Carrora, an it ilian. horn in Sicily, is the most re markable character the ring has evet produced. Vou find in boxing history, from the time of Figg down to the present, no parallel to Dundee's record, 'jot even Dundee knows just how many hattles he has had wince he started fighting 13 years ago. He, still under 30. is a world cham-. pion. it is conceivable that he will be fighting for several years to come, ard that before he retires he will per haps have had more bouts than any boxer that over lived. Dundee is small, compactly built. When not in training his weight is apt to run up as high as 145 pounds. In a couple of weeks he can peel off 19 pounds. Instead of weakening him. the re ducing process seems to leave him stronger—certainly much faster. In fact, when Dundee weighed above 130 1 ** pounds, he displays poor ring form. When he Is 130 pounds or under, he a not only faster, but oddly enough, - stronger hitter. The writer, predicts tiiat. two years fter Dundee quits fighting, if he ■ iocs not continue efercising. Ite will - a very fat little nutn. Perhaps nature, in designing Dun dee, purposely made allowance for Ids singular elasticity In weight to produce the greatest physical ring frank of all time. Two battered ears are the visible marks of Dundee’s long service in the Queensbury realm. His eyes remain clear, his brain un loldled. h*s hands are in good condi tion, though he lias hammered with them against more tlisn 300 oppo nents. He has been itnoeked out blit once, that time some years ago by Willie •larkson. ^ The first title Dundee ever held, and that gained after years of fight ing. was the 130 pound championship, sometimes called the junior light weight title. This title was conceived by the box ing authorities a few years ago for the lioxeis lietwern 126 pounds, the feath erweight limit, and 135 pounds, the lightweight limit. Dundee was quite promt of Hie 136 pound title, which carried with it, diamond licit, lie won permanent pos session of the licit by defending the ^ Mile three times. Then Dundee lost ills 130-pound 'Hie to tack Tlernsteln. sensational young fighter from Yonkers, after s fierce 16 round battle. About tills time Fugene Criqill came from France anil got a match with •’nhnny Kilhane for th* featherweight championship, a match that belonged 0 Dundee However, Dundee waived his claim on the match with Kil hatie on the condition that the win oer of the Kilhane Crlqul bout give him an early opportunity to win the feathery eight title < riqqi heat Kilhane. Dundee heat friqui. This was one of tle great e't fights of Dundee's life. Making 1 '-’6 pounds, lie showed better form Miao ever before in his career.

Bloomington, Inti., Dec. 14.—-Tha [Indiana university basket ball team I which meets Creighton. December 21, at Omaha, is practically a veteran quintet. Only two men were lost by graduation nUd the freshman material seems promising. In the first game here December 7. against Indiana State Normal, practically all of the candidates for the Crimson team got a tryout, which probably accounts as much as anything else for Indiana's close win. 27-24. The Hoosiers regard Creighton high ly and expect lo have to display their best team work to win. Indiana meets Drake at I >es Moines. December 20. The Hoosiers will play their first Big Ten game here January F, against Wiw onairff Indiana will play 12 con feience games this season, meeting Wisconsin. Chicago, Michigan. North western. i ihio State and Minnesota in "home and home" games. Leslie Mann Is loach. Leslie Mann, former major league baseball player who became Indiana university’s new assistant athletic €ii rector in September, has command of ihe (’rirnson's basket ball destinies again this season. Last winter the floosie rs. under the leadership of Mann wer«* regarded as one of tho most dangerous tr**ms in the Big Ten conference. With a turnout of 60 men for the first call this year, the Ifoosiers have prospects of a suc cessful season. Wilfred Ha hr and Gene Thomas are the only regulars from last years five who are lost by graduation, and with the material at j hand Mann iKlieves that he can fill the vacancies with valuable men. Kenneth Alwnrd. buck guard, will ; captain the Indiana five this year, ami is expected to he one of the main- | stays of the team, along with Paul j Parker, center, and Mike Nyikos, for- , ward. All or these men starred on list, year's quintet. Early Knoy ap pears as a possibility at the other forward, although lie will l>c handi capped during the first of the season with football Injuries.
