Dempsey Takes
Dim View of
Boxing Picture
Seattle, June '30 ilPi jack
Dempsey takes a dim view of the
heavyweight boxing picture now
that Joe Louis has retired.
Of all the contenders scrambl
ing for the world's heavyweight
crown, not one is of the champion
ship caliber the Manassa Mauler
fought in the golden days of box
ing, he said a bit sadly.
"As a matter of fact," Dempse
added, "if Louis had lost to Jersev
Joe Walcott the other night, I be
lieve I would have gone back into
tiainlng."
His eyes Drigniened beneath a
ereying thatch. He was letting his
hair down at a sports writers'
luncheon. .
SIM Claims Punch
"I've still got a punch that
would flatten any of those punks
who think they're going to.be the
next champion."
Dempsey is here to referee a
10-round bout tonight between
turn hpavvweieht honpfuls .Innv
'AiMaxlm of Cleveland and Bill Pet
erson of Seattle. Maxim is rated

DpmDsev. who believes tho hnv.
filing game has gone to pot since
line war, saia a tournament would
jbe the best method of choosing
3the next heavyweight champion.
I "Round up an tnese would-be
champs and let 'em fight it out
imong tnemseives in a round--obin,"
he said. "Maybe some kid
a ill come out of the sticks or Ho-
lean's alley that can clean ud on
sail of them.:'
Dempsey was feelmg low about
he whole thing. Particularly the
lew rules mat are ruining the
ight game." Eight-ounce gloves,
he automatic eight count.
"Big gloves will kill the fight
(game and will ruin more boxers
ithan ever before," he growled. "I
lean knock a man silly with big
jgloves easier than with the old
four-ouncers."
The old mauler pooh-poohed
the new rule in many states re
fouiring that when a man Is floor-
d he must stay aown lor eigni
ounts to clear his brain.
"The fight game ain't what it
sta be. that's all," he said. "Too
many sissy regulations."
Improve the Drains in state box
ng commissions and put intelli-
leent referees in the ring and
fthere would be no need for such
rules, he said. . i

Halls from Cincinnati
For if there is nnvimriv in civ,r
down the heavyweight trail it's
the 24-year-old "Rliipknut Rr,"
from Cincinnati.- And, While it
might be a bit stmno in c,,w
that Lesnevich has been dodging
him certainly It was odd that Gus
preferred to risk his light heavy
crown against England's fainting
Freddie Mills.
Lharles has his heart set first
on winning the light heavyweight
title. After that he'll turn to tho
bigger boys.
There are a lot of points on
his side. At 24 he still is eating
his way into the heavyweight di
vision. Then, too, youth is on
his side and, a big item, he is
the choice of Lotus, himself.
"I think Charles is the best
heavyweight around," Louis de
clared. "I'd rather fight Lesnevich than
Charles, 'cause I'd have a better
chance against Lesnevich."

million dollar mauler. Certainly
he has the stuff.' Recent knock
out victims have been such top
ranking heavies as Jimmy Biv
ins, Elmer Kay, Lloyd Marshall
and Fritzie Fitzpatrlck.
Charles was signed yesterday
to battle Bivins at Griffith stadi
um, Washington, on August 2.
Charles never was defeated as
an amateur, winning 42 fights as
he grabbed a hat full of honors
including the golden gloves and
senior AAU middleweight crowns.
A Georgia-born Negro, he was
put through high school by his
grandmother and started fighting'
at 14. He was only 16 when he
turned professional.
A good puncher and a fast hit
tor, Charles gradually grew into
a right heavyweight and current
ly is scampering after Lesnevich,
albeit without much success. But
if Gus goes up for grabs against
Walcott. then there won't be
much left to do except name
Ezzard the leader of tho light
heavies. .
And that will put him right in
line for a shot at the big title.
Sport Parade
By Oscar Fraley
(United Press Spoi-U Writer)
New York, June 29 miMichi
gan's Bob Chappuis, one of the
most coveted backs of the last
college football season, was in
the fold of the Brooklyn Dodgers
today and Coach Carl Voyles was
breathing normally again.
Voyles, who left Auburn t6
take over the trailing Dodger
reins, needed a passer and run
ner of tlTe caliber of the Wolver
ine all-American. But It looked
for a time as if he wouldn't get
the boyish 25-year-old from Tole
do who led Michigan to its Rose
bowl triumph last January 1.
Planned on Pittsburgh
First the 190-pound Chappuis
declared he wasn't interested in
pro football. Then it looked as if
he would go with Pittsburgh of
the rival National league. So
much so, that a natiqnal maga
zine has gone to press with a
story about how Pittsburgh
would fashion its whole offense
around him this fall.
"So I went to see him when he
reportedly signed with Pittsburgh
and my heart did a flip when I
saw him in a new car," Voyles
recalled. "I. thought he had his
bonus money already. But it was
only a present from his dad."
Chappuis picked the Dodgers,
finally, and decided to play pro
Cjjot ball,, because he wants to get
into radio announcing. New York,
hb figures, is a good spot to get
his break.
Started In 1941
The tall, self-composed football
player Is one of those athletes
whose careers was interrupted by
the war. He played freshman
football at Michigan in 1941 and
was the big gun as Michigan
upset Great Lakes and beat Notre
Dame in 1942. Then ho went into
service.
When he came back, he return
ed to the game and was one of
the Eig Nine's best during 1946
and 1947. Last New Year's day
his Michigan team won-the Roso
bowl game and tied Notre Dame,
also undefeated, for mythical na
tional honors.
Was Michigan the better lam?
"The breaks probably would
have decided such a game," Chap
puis asserted. "But I've heard
that question and the question
of whether tho Big Nine 'pays-
gooa salaries more than any
others."
Received No Aid
As far as he was concerned,
Chappuis stated, he received no
aid while in college and "that
way didn't owe anybody any
thing." Admiral Jonas Ingram, All
America conference commission
er, welcomed him into the AAC
family and said:
"Greetings now you can call
me 'Pop!' "
Which probably means he can
call Voyles "Daddy" with the
sugar undoubtedly taking care of
linen.

Carelessness Blamed
For Leather Prices
Cincinnati, O. un A leather
research expert at the University
of Cincinnati claims that careless
handling of livestock cn route to
market costs the American people
millions of dollars annually.
Dr. Fred O'Flaherty said that
farmers and shippers who "rough
up" livestock are to blame for a
needless increase in the price that
must be paid for shoes and leath
er goods.
Dr. O'Flaherty pointed out that
many times the injuries aren't

removed from the hide.

New Dealers Give
Up Any Hope of
Nominating Ike"
Washington, June 30 UP) The
new dealers have given up hope
of getting General Ike nominated
for president on the democratic
ticket unless President Truman
gives him a green light.
Leon Henderson explained the
situation here in a press confer
ence. Henderson heads the new
deal organiaztlon known as
Americans for Democratic Ac
tion. It opposes Truman's nomina
tion on grounds it would destroy
the democratic party.
Henderson astonished his press
conference questioners by stat
ing, also, that he would accept the
vice presidential nomination with
Truman if it were offered to him.
This is what he said:
"Yes, the vice presidential nom
ination of a major parly would
be a great honor. I would not ex
pect to be elected but I would get
the usufructs."
The dictionary defines usu
fructs as profits. .
Mentions Douglas
Henderson said the name of Su
preme court justice William O.
Douglas definitely would be
placed in nomination at the demo
cratic national convention for top
place on the ticket. But he is less
sure about Ike. Ke said Eisenhow
er would not accept the nomina
tion unless President Truman
withdrew or declared the conven
tion open to a free choice of dele
gates. In other words, Eisenhow
er would not buck the president
for the prize.
As an alternative to Eisenhow
er or Douglas, Henderson said he
thought the ADA new dealers
would take Sen. Alben W. Bark-
ley of Kentucky as the democratic
nominee. But he was not optimis
tic of Barkley's chances.
Rebellious southern democrats
also are looking longingly at Gen.
Ike. Sen. Olin D. Johnston, D., S.
C, a leader in the draft-Eisenhower
movement, disclosed that he
conferred with the general for 45
minutes in New York yesterday
but declined to say what took
place.

Australian Rabbits
Climbing Trees
Adelaide, Australia mi
Drought conditions in south
Ausli alia are so bad that jabbits
are climbing Irees to get the
moisture in the bark and leaves.
They climb to a h.'lght of eight
or nine feet and strip bark from
the upper branches. Meanwhile,
other rabbits wait under the trees
for the leaves to drop.
The state agrlcultura minister,
Sir George Jenkins, said he
would not believe that rabbits
could climb trees, if he had not j
seen them doing so during a tour j
of dry sheep country, where no i

So anxious are the Russians for
uranium, that uranium detector
operators are going through old
plies of waste ore thrown away
when the mines were still produc

ago.
Working conditions In the
mines are reported to be bad. Min
ers often work in knee -length
rubber boots for protection. The
Russians have not enough pumps
to handle the water which seeps
in from hidden springs above the
mine shafts.
Speed Production
Although most of the equip

Increase dally ore production In
the Czech mines from 24 tons
this yeir to 140 tons in 1952, and
340 tons in 1957.
Workers on the German side
are paid many times the salary
of a Ruhr coal miner. The food
ration, which the Russians force
the German government to pro
vide, is said to triple that of the
ordinary German heavy worker.
In addition, schnapps Is sold free
ly and workers receive a liberal
cigarette ration.
In Czechoslovakia, anti-communists
are sent to the mines.
The Russians have tried to
stop desertions by forcing deser
ters' wives to take their hus
band's jobs. But deserters from
both the Czech and German mines
continue to turn up in Berlin and
western Germany.
