Don't laugh at that. It was pretty good business, for one thing.

And at that time the Klngflsh could push leather. He threw It so well, before packed Chicago Stadium, that he pushed Dempsey right out of the comeback piture. "I'm through," said Dempsey after that show. "Nothing much left for me." Bat there was. There was a huge bank roll picked up oa that long comeback tour.

Then, as now, Dempsey was a moneymaker. 9 if v'1 I I 4 Spreads His Wit In Crosby Open DEL MONTE, Jan. 11 A feud that blossomed into fist- swinging, and a bit of the host's ready wit, took the limelight to day in the second round of the Bing Crosby $10,000 pro-amateur golf tournament at Pebble Beach. Fred Corcoran, tournament manager of the Prof esslonal Golfers' Association, went to the hos pital after coming out second best in a fight with Dick MeU, Wichita (Kans.) pro and a long-time rival. Corcoran was reported to have suffered facial cuts and loosened teeth.

Crosby, no dub on the links, either, got off a wild drive that landed in a tree and stuck there. Bing cupped his hands and bellowed to Johnny Weissmueller, another movie star playing on the next fairway: "Hey, Tarzan, I've got a tree-climbing job for you!" Oh, yes, in the tournament itself, George Fazio of Los Angeles took the lead among the professionals with a 64-hole total of 138 and Sam Snead and amateur partner Roger Kelly of Los Angeles were best-ball leaders with 130.

Finally he wound up as host in a tavern here in St. Louis, on Market street Corbett and Fits dabbled in the show business while ring champions. But it was not until the mighty Jeff gained the crown that the "meet all comers" tour idea was revived. Jeff, with Billy McCarney beating the torn torn, put over that one. And it almost got Jeffries kayoed.

As it was, he got licked. In Butte, Mont, a husky miner named Jack Munroe tangled with the Big Bear and spilled him on his haunches. The verdict went against Jeff and led to a title matchthe last championship defense Jeffries attempted. He slapped Monroe out In a couple of rounds and retired. Sometimes it seems risky business to pull the all-comer stuff.

Jess Willard tried it and for his pains he had himself knocked down In his own circus tent by the Rochester plasterer, Fred Fulton. never gave Fred a shot at the title. That good luck went to Jack Dempsey and you all know what happened at Toledo. Dempsey Couldn't Convince Ora Dean. JACK DEMPSEY was the last champion to go In for the meet all comers" Idea.

Shortly after whipping Willard, Jack invited one and all to take a shot at him for cash. In St Louis he went on at Forest Park Highlands. Ora Dean, a darn good fighter hut with a glass Jaw, took a chance. Jack hit him and Ora thought tlu rafters had fallen on him. But he was far from convinced.

"I can whip that guy nv. time," complained Ora. "He can't box a lick. He just got In a lucky blow Get him for me again." They did. The next time the lights went out for Ora, when Jack connected with another "lucky" punch.

Dean retired to seek new avenues to the front. He found one in Kirkwood, where he is now a highly valued fingerprint expert in the police department. Dempsey, unlike most champions, put on an all-America tour after he had lost the champion-shin and was generally considered washed up. Jack couldn't believe that. He started preparation for a comeback.

He decided to regain his form by fighting. He fouf ht many four-round bouts in more than a year. Then he arranged for a final test against something pretty good. He picked on King Levinsky.

Louis U. High trounced North Side Catholic, 35-21, last night in a Preparatory League doubleheader at the St. Louis University gym. The victories moved the Colonnaders and Junior Billikins Into a first place tie, each having two vic tories against no defeats. In the opener, McBride jumped into an early 5-4 lead and never lost it.

With Glen Murphy pacing the offense with 12 points in the first half, McBride built up a comfortable 26-16 advantage at the half. In the second half, however, South Side's center, Lou McKenna, went on a scoring spree and tallied eight quick points, so that the Dragons pulled up to a 35-31 score. At this point, however, little Jim Harsey piled in a pair of field goals and a free throw to protect the McBride lead. "McKenna was high point man for both teams and for the twin bill, in fact with 20, while Murphy dropped in 17 and Harsey 14. In the second game, the Junior Bills threw up a strong defense aed, riding along on Eddie Hilton's 10 points, outlasted North Side's young team.

George Has-ser kept a fresh quintet on the floor at all times, alternating two teams throughout all of the game. Only "BUcklo Androlewics was able to shake the Bill defenders. He scored 8 points. NORTH SIDt J1 ST. LOUIS U.

Louis has told Billiken representatives here that if the Bills play as they did against his learn Friday night, there's no doubt they 11 defeat Long Island U. at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night. "St. Louis against us was the best defensive ball club I've seen this year," Iba said after the game. The Aggie coach's 1946-47 line of vision takes in Kentucky, whose 26-game streak was ended by the Aggies; Kansas, which defeated the Bills by 14 points; St Mary's, another Billiken conqueror; Texas, which holds a decision over L.

Rice, Temple, L. I. U. itself, which beat the Aggies, 47-46; Canlsius, Texas Wesleyan and Texas Tech. "We didn't get a cheap goal all evening," Iba continued, eyeing the box score which ahowed only eight field goals for the Aggies, and we had to work for one goal harder than we've had to work for two all season." Macauley the Tops.

On the offense side of the 38-20 triumph, scored against one of the most formidable defensive units in collegiate basketball, the Bills' six-foot-eight Ed Macauley was the key man In Iba's opinion. St Louis scored 15 field goals. "Macauley'a handoff feeds from the pivot position were smooth and deceptive," the Aggie coach remarked. He added that this was the best St Louis team he has seen in his 13 years as Aggie coach and that Miller and Obie were the defense standouts. Quiet John Flanigan, the St Louis oach who has seen his good team lose some close games in compiling a record that was brought to six victories and six defeats by the triumph over the Aggies, also was pleased, naturally.

"The part that impressed me most," Flanigan reported to athletic department colleagues here, "was that our team played exactly the kind of game necessary to beat the Aggies, a slow, tight style of play that waited for scoring breaks." Hera Today for Luncheon. Arriving at 11:30 a.m. today from Tulsa, the Billikens will go to the university's Commerce and Finance Building on Lindeli boulevard for lunch and a student celebration, then will depart at 1:25 p.m. for New York.

that he "would make an important announcement for the Cardinal organization at a special press conference from 5:00 to 5:15 o'clock." First guess was that Sam was about to announce the sale of the Cardinals or his retirement as active head of the orRantzation, and those who attended the con ference felt a little let down when they learned that Sam merely was announcing that he had made a radio deal that would add mora money to the Cardinals' Income for 1947. In past years the club's revenue from two sponsors has been estimated at about $30,000. On an exclusive basis the club, it is believed, will receive more than $50,000.

There is no open season on quail in Ohio a Louis Bromfield, author, farmer and soil conservationist a member of the Ohio Conservation Commission, says the quail in Ohio are becoming smaller and scarcer Shooting, he points out, scatters coveys and makes for less in-breeding He believes restocking is a necessary part of a conserva tion program, valuable in that it introduces fresh breeding stobk.

They have learned in Ohio that more can be done for fish by restoring streams, lakes and ponds, than through hatcheries. Prevent floods and siltation, restore the clearness of the streams, and game fish come back and take charge, he says. The tendency in Ohio is to reduce restrictions on fishing If conditions for the fish are right the State of Ohio has learned, they'll win the fight for survival in large numbers, regardless of the fishing pressure. You'll be able to read all about it in a book he's writing, for publication soon. TOPCOATS AND OVERCOATS nmimnrmgjs Continued From Preceding Page.

"And I hope that's often. Getting him out, that is. Of coure, there's a possibility that Ted may change his style before the coming season and we may see him sending a few drives to left field. But I may use a drastic defense shift to the right if he continues to do nothing but pull the ball."

Ed Smith, the Browns new director of information and public relations, calls attention to expansion of the club's farm system. A year ago, shortly after Muckerman took over the club, the Browns had 11 farm teams and 250 ball players under contract. Now there are 14 clubs, four of which the Browns own, the others in the family on a working agreement basis. And now there are nearly 400 players lined up for the 1947 season. Clubs owned are Toledo, American Association; San Antonio, Texas League; Elmira of the Class A Eastern and Springfield of the Class Three-I League.

There are working agreements with four Class league teams and five in Class D. One additional Class club will be added shortly and it may be nearby Belleville, In the new Illinois State League.
