New York Boxing Commission Places Jack Dempsey on Ineligibility List Evasive Reply to Wills’ Defi Given as Cause Qiainp to Be Restored to <»ood Standing Following Agreement to Meet Negro Boxer in Bout. [ :\v YORK, March 24.— Jack Dempsey, world’s heavyweight boxing champion, today was placed on the New York State Athletic commis sion's ineligible list. The boxing board further decreed no licensed club match maker, nor “any official connected with a licens ed club In this state," shall enter into a con tract with or have any negotiations for a match with any boxer suspended or declared ineligible. The action against Dempsey was 1 'ken because of i he champion's fail ure to make a satisfactory reply to t he commission’s ultimatum of March <1 giving him 15 days in which to ac cent the challenge for a title match submitted by Harry Wills, the negro heavyweight. A recent letter addressed to the commission Ivy Jack Kearns. Demp sey's manager; in which Kearns said Wills’ challenge of three years ago had been accepted by the champion, but that the commission had ultimate ly refused to sanction the bout, was deemed an insufficient reply. Dempsey was not suspended, it was said, because lie does not hold a Nek York license; lienee tlie declaration of bis ineligibility to box in this state was the only legal action the board . could take against him. Before the commission met there were rumors it would declare tlie heavyweight title vacant hut shlicit a step. It was learned, was not considered. James A. Farley, chairman of Hie commission, voted with William Mul doori, another member, to discipline Dentpsey in this manner. George F. Brower, the third commissioner was not present. Replying to a query as to whether the edict forbidding pro moters from negotiating with an Ineligible boxer would prevent Tex Rickard from angling for a Demp sey match in Boyle's Thirty Acres, .lerse.vq City, Farley said: “We would not consider such action on t ii» part of Rickard a* Clubby.’" The chairman informed newspa per men lie regarded the Dempsey Wills affairs as "closed.” The champion, however, would be re stored to good standing before the corrfrnission were he to agree to bex Wills In a decision bout. Kearns, in litis recent letter to the commission, accepted the challenge of Tom Gibbons, but tlte boxing authorities considered this an eva sion. Rickard announced today he was proceeding with his endeavors to match Wills and Gibbons as the 1 main attraction on the Milk Fund raid In the Yankee stadium on the night of May 22. Ij, had been planned to have the winner of this bout meet Dempsey in the stadium in Septem ber. Kearns, who, is manager of the champion is automatically barred from negotiating for Dempsey in this state, said he would "let the matter drop where Tt is.’’ asesrtlng he bad nothing to add to his statement to tHe boxing board. ALEX HART BEATS CLYDE JEAGLE Baltimore, Md., March 23.—A lax Hart of Philadelphia was awarded t he decision over Clyde IK. U.i Jatgle of Toledo, (>., here tonight in a 12 inund lightweight hout.

OVAL COFFMAN, former Olympic boxer, still has a fistic quarrel to settle with Alike Hale of Grand JSkDale knocked Coffman out in 1110 sixth round of a bout. Tuesday night Coffman met Dale to set tle for once and all Just who was the better of the of the two. They fought for lu rounds, fought hard and fast to a teferees draw decision. The large crowd that shoved its way Into the small Omaha Athletic club gymnasium to see a good pro gram of box-lighting, was satisfied with the draw decision In the Coff man-Dale affair. The crowd ap plauded the decision of Referee "Cur ley” Ulrich. He refereed all the con tests in fine style. Coffman started out as if he had a wholesome respect for Dale's left and right mitts, the same leather coveted fists that caused Royal to sit down on the canvass at the Elks' show and hear the fatal 10 count tolled over his body. He took mat ters sort of as they came during the first five rounds and seemed mole content to let Dale do the fighting. From the seventh on out Coffman fought his fight. He was the aggres sor ami landed many hard wallops under Dale's heart and on his jaw. The Grand Island welter is a glutton for punishment and proved it to all ringsiders. Tie took several hard Jolts on the jaw with a smile and like the game fighter he Is, came back for more. In the ninth and 10th rounds Dale seemed content to let Coffman do the fighting. The out stater missed many wild swings and his holding tactics slowed up the fight. The semi-windup between the bat tie-scarred veteran, "Battling" Strayer of Lincoln, and Jack Higgins of Omaha, ended in the sixth round of the scheduled 10 with Strayer the winner \ia technical knockout. Frankie l.arrabee of Lincoln easily outpointed Jimmy Mardi of Omaha in a six-round preliminary. Tilt- Lincoln hoy had Mardi lidding on in the late rounds. The first bout between Lew Ritchie of Lincoln and "Doc" Cooper of Ll Ikitt, la., was a farce. Both swung their fists a la roundhouse. Ititehie couldn't lilt, and Cooper got tired test easilj . The bout was scheduled for six rounds, but in the third Cooper hit Ritchie on the jaw with a ltnek hand blow and the latter flopped to the can vas while the birdies twittered the fatal 10. Tlie backhand blow is barred in this man's state, so Ititehie won on a foul, much to his surprise. The show, which was staged under the direction of Boxing Commissioner John Kilmartln, was run oft in good style. Giants Swamp Phillies. 8 to 2 By .lOSKI'H GORDON'.

Five hnn died natives saw It. Socking fea tured. It was the sort of day on whlrh ball games are postponed In New York. But as there is no c hance for il double header here the business managers decided that It wasn't such a bad day after all. The grounds were wet, but the lioys managed to go through the orde.cl quite nicely. The best of tlie Giants' fielders In their present form is about as good as, pitcher* can ask. Sparkling double pin vs by Frisc h, Jackson and Terry helped out considerably. It was a one-sided affair as Philly Giant games should Ice.

Los Angeles. Out in California they still think lludkins is about the best little two-ttsted lighter they hate set'll around the west coast for many a moon. These California fans also think lludkins is a logical contender for the lightweight championship. "11111" Henry, writing in the I.os Angeles Times, says of Hudklns: "Htidkin* has many nf the attrl buies of a champion, lie can take 'em On the chill and body without flinching, and be hands out a beating that not everybody would rare to absorb. On top of that, lie Is a nat ural lightweight, making 133 pounds without being forced to weaken him self. He's strong at the proper Weight and he catl demand weight of the other fellow. “Benjamin is sure to draw well, chiefly because there are a lot of people who don't like him and who hop* to see him Itenten. Nobody knows this better than the ‘sltick’ himself, nntl lie rather glories in the fact. "The majority of the fans who saw the Benjamin Silter match are in dined to string with the Neh’neka ’wildcat’ on the ground that he gets better as he goes along." THE California sport pa^-« prin; many stories about Iludklns. Hardly a day goes 1'v but what one of the 1,0* Angeles Oakland or San Francisco sport pages publishes som» pent nljout the former Omaha lightweight. Hudkina Is very popu lar on the west coast. Much more popular than he wa.s right here In his own hack yard. Sid /.Iff, one of the well known coast flgltt scribes, lias the following to sa.v about Iludklns: "The last time Iludklns ap|irarrd at Hollywood be carried an Inflated bead along with him. If that condi tion subsides, be will go a long way lip the pugilistic ladder." That’s not a very nice compliment to pay a tighter, hut nevertheless It Is the truth. Iludklns' head appeared rather large when "Ace" fought In Omaha. Because of tiie condition of his head he made more enemies than he did friends. Btulkins Is young and In lime will outgrow this handicap. Iludklns, according to reports front California, will travel east In .lime In hog the winner of the New ^nrk tournament, lie will fight for "Babe" Cullen, the promoter at Newark, N. •!.
