Dempsey Placed On New York Ineligible List
Jack Dempsey, world heavyweight champion, was declared ineligible to box in New York by the State Athletic Commission for failing to respond satisfactorily to an ultimatum to accept a title match with Harry Wills. The action bans clubs and officials tied to licensed New York venues from negotiating for a bout with him. Dempsey remains unlicensed in the state. Tex Rickard continues efforts to stage Wills vs Gibbons as the Milk Fund attraction at Yankee Stadium on May 28, with the winner potential to meet Dempsey later.

Prosperity threatens early Yankee drive to World Series
In St. Petersburg on March 24, a veteran columnist discusses how prosperity can erode championship teams. He cites the New York Yankees and Manager Miller Huggins, praising the club but warning that repeated pennants can sap thrill and sharpen the need for reserve strength. The piece notes emphasis on depth, especially infield, to guard against injuries and maintain title contention. It also mentions a Boston doctor's device to sober drunks and a local elevator incident with captives.
