BOXING TANGLE
DEMPSEY’S COMMENT ON AMERICAN POSITION [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph— Copy vigil tj DALLAS (Texas), 23rd April. Citing the Braddock-Louis-Schmeling tangle Dempsey predicted that boxing would all be washed up in another year at the present pace. “Something must be done or we won’t have any boxing. The game needs a czar similar to baseball’s. Sports should wash their dirty linen in their own backyard. Boxing is becoming just a big lawsuit If contracts and promises are no good what good is the fight game. Schmeling was promised a shot at the title and has now got only a piece of paper. Louis can give punishment but can’t take it. He hasn’t got a fighting heart.”
