SELECTION OF MULDOON FOR
| SECOND TERM INDICATES THAT
BOXING ANDPOUTICS WILL PART
Return of Former Head of Boxing Commission in New
York Means That New Lease of Life' for Sport on—
f Czar of Boxing Will Be Given Greater Power Than He
V Ever Knew, Says Walsh.
By'DAVIS J. WALSH
BW York, Jan.
31.—Reappoint
ment of Wil
liam Muldoon
to the New
York etate ath
letic circles to
day as a fore
runner of the
de velopinents,
named in the
order of their
Importance:
1. A new
lease of life for
boklng in New
York.
2. The absolute divorce of boxing
d politics for the first time since
e modern game was made legal.
; 3. The return of Muldoon, once
Unown as the czar of boxing, to
greater power than he ever knew.
' 4. The elimination of opposition to
1 ex Rickard as supreme promoter of
l oxlng.
When Informed of his reappoint
i lent by Governor Smith, Muldoon
t rould give no indication of what his
l rogram might be beyond indicating
: hat he would accept the post with
i ue alacrity.
Muldoon, it was pointed out, is
free from politics, originally ap
pointed by a republican governor,
Nathan Miller. His reinstatement
by a democratic governor leaves him
(free to pursue any course lie may
elect,, unhampered by political affil
iations, it was declared.
The appointment of James Farley,
democrat, and the coincident resigna
tlon of William McCormack, personal
friend of the government, as chairman
of the license committee, is said to
have indicated further the formation of
a nonpartisan body. Boxing and poli
tics are to go their separate ways, it
is contended, for the first time since
the 90’s.
The Muldoon will be returned.to
his former high estate, instead of
merely accepting a place as commis
sioner, also was predicted freely. He
is the only practical boxing man now
connected with the commission In
any way, George *W. Brower, the hold
over, being a lawyer. McCormack, lrf
fact, was the only man in authority to
dispute Muldoon's reign In the old
days and it is believed to be unlikely
that the new license committee chair
man will be given the official back
ing with which McCormack Is fav
ored. 1
Muldoon’s return, of course, calls
the pack off Rickard's trail. Under
the Duke's former regime. Rickard
seemingly was granted the boon of
every indulgence and waxed exceed
ingly fat around the wallet pocket.
It may have been noted that Tex has
promoted comparatively few bouts of
national Importance tvithln recent
months. Boxing men now expect him
to resume, as was, without - undue
delay.
As for boxing itself, it is taken for
granted ttflit the governor would
hardly take the trouble to make ap
pointments to the commission if the
game was not to live. His action is
recognized here as tacit admission
that the sport will be permitted to
proceed for another year, at least.

accompany the. Cambridge university
relay team to this country in April
and will compete in the sprint events
at the Pennsylvania relay carnival on

manager of the Carnival, announced
today.
The Scotch sprinter, who set up
new British records of 9 7-10 Beconds
and 21 3-6 seconds, respectively, in
winning the 100 and 220 yards titles,
will find stiff competition in Amer
ica In both events. Among the pros

Hopkins, Bowman of Syracuse,
Comins and Rusnak, Yale; Fisher,
Kansas; Irwin, Kansas Agricultural,

JUDGE HUNGER is one of
Omaha's enthusiastic hunters
and during a trip last fall to
Shickley after ducks, found that
while walking to his blind that there
Were lots of Jacksnipe to have fun
with.
Now the judge shoots a special gun
called a Super Fox and uses the
Super X shells with it. Being full
choke with 32-inch barrels and us
ing the extra heavy shell, he can
kill at about 120 yards right along,
providing he ran hit his quarry. He
killed lots of snipe but for some rea
son or other never brought any into
camp.
Friends investigated.
They said that when the judge
shot a snipe the only tiling left of
H to pick up would he the legs or
the bill—all the rest having disin
tegrated when a full charge of shot
hit it.
“I quit shooting snipe.” he says,
“because when within average shoot
ing distance I blew them all to pieces
and when within scatter range they
were too far out for me to hit."

Track and Field Experts Convinced
Joie Ray Has Lost Some Speed.
New Tork, Jan. SI.—Track and
field critics were ail ths more con
vinced today that Joie Ray lacks
some of his speed of former years by
the fact that the great little dlstancer
finished laat In the special three-quar
ters of a mile at the Mllirose games
last night after winning the mile and
a half event. Never before In the
history of tracks sports here has Ray
been known to finish worse than
third in a local race.
Chesty Joe easily made good his
predictions In winning the mile and a
half, only Ray Bilker, former Bates
star, snd R. E. Brown, late tnter-col
legiate champion, remaining on the
trpck at th€ ep-*. The rest of the
field retired. In sp't* of the fact that
Kay’s lime 6:48 2 5 did rot disturb
the record.
Kay apparently finished without
distress, yet was never In the running
IJnyd Hahn, Boston A. A. star
runner who won over Ray
in the two-third’s mile run at the
Millrose A. A. carnival In New
York rity last night, is a Nebraska

Huskers Prepare
for Bluejavs
Lincoln, Neb., aJnv 31.—Coach W.
G. Kline has put the final polish on
his Nebraska basket ball team for its
three-game series which starts to
night at Omarta. The Cornhuskers,
after an illustrous start, were un
able to maintain the pace and have
lost their lost four games. This, in
face of Creighton's record, makes
the Nebraska hope appear somewhat
forlorn, but as It was in the army,
so it Is in basket ball, "you never
can always sometimes tell.”
Coach Kline appreciates the full
Hfirength of the Bluejay five and he
is building to counteract it. The Ne
braskans have given good account of
themselves for 40 minutes in every
game placed thus far, win or lose,
and Coach Kline does not anticipate
setting a precedent at Omaha Friday
night. Nebraska plays Drake at Des
Moines Saturday and Grinned at
Grinned Monday.
