Prior to Saturday DEMPSEY-WILLS BOUT PROMOTER MUST ABIDE BY FLOCK OF RULINGS Simultaneous with the arrival from the west of Jack Dempsey, heavyweight boxing champion, string- ent conditions for the pending title contest between Dempsey and Harry Wills, Negro challenger. Should it be held in Mew York state, were laid down by William Muldoon, chairman of the State Athletic Commission. Mr. Muldon stipulated that any promoter authorized to stage the con- test must make arrangements to séat comfortably not less than 100,000 persons, provide admission for 40,- 000 at not more than $3 each, and place with the commission a security of $250,000. Opindon in boxing circles was that thesa conditions might make i: im- possible to hold the bout in New York. Asked to comment on this. Mr. Muldon said: * sibility. 1 want the rights of the pub- lic safeguarded and with that in mind think conditions such as I have outlined are justified. 'On the outcome of the Dempsey- Wille bout, if held in New York slate," he continued, 'the future of the geme, rests not only in this state, but in every state where boxing is countenanced. If pugilism is given @ black eye here and the game is killed in the leading otate, it will not live long elsewhere." Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, denied that he had received am offer of thirty-seven and a half per cent. of the receipts, with a guarantee of $250,000 from a promoter. Neither has Dempsey consideration for a bout with Wills, Kearns declared. re rie TY COBB Is Still on the Lookout for College Stars. : Ty Cobb is still on the lookout for college ball players. Every time he goes east he has a look at a couple of college stars at play with some independent team and if likes them he signs them up for future refer- ences. It is not generally known. but Ty has agreements with fully two dozen stars from various schools and when they are ready he will get them, writes Bert Walker in the De- troit Times. Some of these boys probably never {will miske the grade, but they wil ibe good enough for the minors. He will farm them out for further seas- oning and when they make good he will recall them. Ty prefers the college ball player to the sandiotter for a mumber of reasons. One is that the college man has been taught discipline. He has devoted his life to study and to recelving instrpctions. When his /| manager in baseball speaks he list- ens with the same respect he would give to a lecture by a college profes- sor. He knows enough to want to +{learn and the thought never enters his mind that he knows more than 'his teacher in baseball as in Latin or 'mathematics. Then, too, he holds that the boy who has had the ad- vantage of a college education has a "Iam not concerned with that pos- | stipulated any purse. 'THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. RTING more orderly and systematic mind. At least it proves that he has tried to improve himself by taking the col- lege course. But perhaps one of the greatest reasons for his admiration for the colloge players is the latter's keen desire to win. The college man still believes in sport after it becomes a business with him, while the gradu- ate of the sandlots often regards it purely as a means of making a liv- ing. Other things being equal, Ty holds the college = player is more likely to make good than the boy whose mind has not been trained. Cobb is one of the brainiest players in the game and he appreciates in- telligence on the ball field. = U. 8. DEFENDERS OF THE DAVIS CUP WHO BEAT THE AUSTRALIANS. Left to right: William M.
