Murderous Manassa
Maulrr Get Bjg Vote
By Jack Band
NEW YORK, Jan. 28-(P)-Jack
Dempsey, the scowling Manassa
Mauler with the cruel lists of -a
talking killer, today was named
the greatest fighter of the past 50
I years.
I Not boxer but fighter was the
I word for this restless man with the
cracked-in nose and the brine-
soaked fists.
Always a merciless stalker with
only hate for his opponent inside
the ropes, Dempsey parlayed
punch and a dream into over $3,
000,000 earnings alter a hungry
start in the jungle tamp of the far
west ' -. I -
Now comparatively sleek and
comfortable but once raw as life
Itself, Dempsey outdistanced all
opposition in the opinion of
sporuwruers ana Droaacasiers ui
the Associated Press mid-century
polL
It was strictly a two-man race
between Dempsey and Joe Louis,
the retired heavyweight champ,
with Dempsey a runaway winner.
OX the 393 votes, Dempsey 251 and
Louis 104. i
Henry Armstrong, a great triple
champion, polled 18 votes. Gene
Tunny, who dethroned Dempsey,
drew only six votes for fourth
place.
The Dempsey of the broiling
July 4th afternoon, 1919, at Toledo
has been called the perfect fighting
machine of all tune. Certainly
there have been few to compare
with the weaving, crouching ter
ror who cut ponderous Jess Wil
lard to ribbons that staling day
and won the heavyweight cham
pionship. After flooring the massive Wfl
lard seven times in the first
- round, Dempsey climbed out of
the ring and started for his dress
ing room, He didnt know the
bell had rung while the referee
was counting out WUlard. Hust
ling back to the ring, "he went
.threw in the towel. ;
. Long before Jack (the Doc)
Kearns ever saw him, Dempsey
came to New York. Nobody roll
, ed out a plash carpet. He returned
' to the west and was knocked out
'by Fireman Jim Flynn, his only
knockout loss, at Murray, Utah,
in 1917. Shortly after that Kearns
came into the picture.
The team of Dempsey and
Kearns, the old ballyhoo mer
chant, rocketed to the top. They
hit; the Jackpot at Toledo. From
that time on, they were in the
big; money. Georges Carpen tier,
Luis ' Angel Firpo and the two
Gene Tunney fights were ahead
-but before the Tunney bouts,
Dempsey and Kearns split -
With the help of Promoter Tex
Rlckard. the Dempsey - Kearns
team made boxing's first million
dollar gate in 1921. Carpentier,
an undersized French war hero
was the . bait The crowd paid
$1,789,231 to see Dempsey win
easily on a knockout In four
rounds. -
The wild battle with Firpo
grossed $1,183,603. :
The largest crowd ever to see
a fight, 120,757, turned out when
Dempsey lost his crown to Tun
ney at Philadelphia In 1928.
Dempsey received $718,968, his
biggest purse, out of the $1,895,
753 houses
Discounting exhibitions and an
ill-fated comeback, Dempsey
wound up his active career in a
second bout with Tunney. In
keeping with his character, it was
tumultous ending. " v
, Dempsey lost again but not un
til he had floored Tunney for
the famous "long count" of 14 by
Referee Dave Barry in the sev
enth round. While Barry tried to
persuade , Jack to retreat to a
neutral corner the seconds flitted
away and Tunney came around.

Marlene Tops Kirk
In Miami Tourney
By James F. Fowler
MIAMI. Fla, Jan. 28-rVVet-
eran campaigner Polly Riley and
newcomer Marlene Bauer breezed
into the finals of the 18th annual!
Helen Lee Doherty women's am-
ateur golf tournament today with
3 and 2 victories.
Marlene, the teenaged , adopted
daughter of Texas who won me
dalist honors with a 71, defeated
Peggy Kirk of Flndlay, Ohio. Miss
Riley, who last week won the Tam
pa women's open golf tournament,
turned back Edean Anderson of
Helena, Mont., in the semi-finals.
Both finalists grabbed an early
lead and held it throughout today's
matches.
Playing in her fourth Doherty
tournament, Miss Riley carded the
best nine hole score thus far in
the tourney with her blistering
even men's par 36 on the front
nine. Her opponent carded a 39.
Miss Riley won the first three
holes in quick succession. She can
ned a 10-footer to take the first,
birded the second with a three and
a half foot putt and went 3 up on
the third when Miss Anderson
three-putted, .
They halved the next three holes
with 4's. ; Then Polly went 4 up
when Miss Anderson three-putted
the 7th. Miss Riley was trapped on
her second shot on the long par 3
ninth to hole out in par as Miss
Anderson approached to within
three feet of the pin to hole out
in one under par 4.
Miss Riley went 4 up on the
10th as Miss Anderson threeput-
ted. They halved the 11th with par
3 s and Miss Anderson won the
12th as Miss Riley three-putted.
Polly lost the 13th and 14th with
bad approadch shots, narrowing
her margin to 2 up. She closed out
the match on the 16th green when
Miss Anderson's second shot went
into a ditch and she failed to hit
the green with her approach.
- The finalists meet in a grueling
3 6-hole duel tomorrow over the
6,347-yard Miami Country club
course.

LaMotta is due to go 10 rounds

less with Dick Wagner, a light-
heavyweight from Portland, Ore.
Jake has been under fire by the
New York Boxing commission for
failure to defend the world cham-
eionship he won in Briggs stadium
ere last June when he dethroned
the bite Marcel Cerdan ot France.
He has had only on fight since
that, a 10-rounder in . which , he
lost to Robert Vlllemain of France.
Boxing Commissioner Eddie Ea-
gan of New York has been prod
ding LaMotta to make a title de
fense, but Jake has been delaying
on grounds that he wants the fight
to be an outdoor affair this June.
If LaMotta Is unable to settle
on that title fight in New York, it
may be neld In Briggs stadium.
LaMotta's Immediate worry.
however. Is to silence the critics
who claimed he was lucky to beat
Cerdan; They pointed out that
Jake has done little In a fistic way
since then.
That Is one reason why Wagner
is expected to-hav a rough night
Friday. Jake is unhappy about the
harsh words said about his fight
ing ability.
Wagner has lost his last three
fights, two of them to Nick Barone
of Syracuse, N. Y. One ot these
was at Olympia last year.
He is expected to come in at
