( Manager Bucky Harris rents injured ankle he may be mak ing up his mind what to do, if any thing, with Joe Judge, now one of the two first class first -Hackcra on the roster of the Washington Sena tors. George Staler hna played so well In tho spring that it seems reasonable to conclude that he has Huccecded tho enthusiastic and hard-working Judge as tho club's regular first baseman. Huth Judge land Sister are left-handed all the way, hitting and throwing, ho they cannot be used in a companionate arrangement at the base. Judge accepted his contract this spring after home delay, the disin clination to sign being prompted by a request for annu ranees that he would not be expected to sit on the bench rather than dissatisfied with the figures fn the document. Judge realizes that if he spends a season on the bench he is automat ically placed among the marked down remnants and on his way to tlie bargain basement of baseball. Other clubs, notably the Cleve land Indians, would like to have Judge. Miler Ilugglus would lake ! him. A shift to New York, how- ' ver. Is unlikely for the opposition is not helping the champions. Judge would not object to joining his old friend, Itoger Peck in pa ugh. at Cleveland, and as (ieorge Mums is a bit weary with the years and would appreciate n little rest, the Washington veteran may finally Jln lne Indiana. 1 " ur.iu.gvinem m mu Vmv Ju,1- ftnd u mu nut irou"0 ftn 4n,ni,HlaHm President Clark ji'"min wnen no aims up ills pay- run ami umin i ir.si uase proieciing costing him $115,000, more or less. probably more.

Jack Dempsey, former world's heavyweight division boss, today flatly dneied that ' he was to meet Oeno Tunney next July or August somewhere In New Jersey. "Nothing to It at all," was the ex-champion's terse reply when he was afked if a copyrighted story In the Newark Ledger to day was correct in Its assertion that the "off-again-on-agaln" tlt'e bout was "on" once more. Beyond a slight curiosity as to "what It said," Deinpscy showed little Interest In the story. (By Alan -T. Gould, Associated Pre Sports Keillor.) NKW YORK. Mar. 28. VP) The campaign to make New York safe from the devastating Influence of a heavyweight championship fight seems likely to be successful again. The struggle between the boxing commission, on the one hand, and Tex Hlckard and the heavyweight champion, on the other, faces an other deadlock, seemingly designed to force the promoter to other fields. The only difference between the present dispute and those of the previous few years Is that the 1928 fistic follies are being staged earlier than usual. In the past they have been reserved for summer view. The probability is that Rickard, alt hough ostensibly planning to hold tho big title fight or figh'.s in New Y'ork this year by leasing the two main ball parks, all along has had an eye peeled to windward. Chicago and Philadelphia, as well as Baltimore and Windsor, Canada, have mado overtures for a cham pionship fight, but New Jersey, site of. Hickard's first "battle of the century" In 1921, looms as the like ly battleground If Tunney Js to de fend his crown anywhere outside of Gotham. Jersey boxing laws have been chanked this year to provide for 15-round bouts to a decision, the same as In New York. Boyle's Thirty Acres, tho once historic wooden Haucer across tho river. Is no more, but ltickardl s under stood to have discussed plans for mile for a Camel" t erecting a big concrete arena in Jersey. Thus, he figures, a threat of tak ing his "big money shots" outside Xw York might help produce a more compromising attitude by the metropolitan boxing authorities, fcio far, however, such threats have not made much headway against the three moguls who sit In state in the KlaUJ.n building. , PK.YIt MOKE BOMBINGS (Continued from rae One.) nlHcli, the republican candidate for committeeman of the 46th ward on an anti-Thompson ticket, received a letter today in which threats were made to bomb his home.
