BOXING TANGLE
JACK DEMPSEY'S VIEWS Press Association —By Telegraph Copyriglf DALLAS (Texas), April 23. Citing the Braddock-Louis-Schmehng tangle, Jack Dempsey predicted that boxing would be all washed up in another year at the present pace. “ Something must be done or we won’t have any boxing game. It needs a Tsar, similar to baseball s Landis, to wash tho sport’s dirty Hnen in its own backyard. Boxing is becoming just a big lawsuit. If contracts and promises are no good, what good s the fight game? Schmeling was promised a shot at the title, but now has got only a piece of paper. Louis can give punishment but can’t take it. Ho hasn’t the fighting heart. -
