Lawyers for promoter Tex Rickard move to file mandamus in the New York State Supreme Court to force the state athletic commission to license Jack Dempsey. The license panel refused Dempsey permission to fight Gene Tunney until a Black challenger Harry Wills was met. Rickard argues the committee overstepped its power after the athletic commission declared Dempsey eligible.

Olson Survivor of Jones Team May Be Star This Fall
Forrest M. Olson, guard and sole survivor of Howard H. Jones era Hawkeyes, may rejoin the Iowa football lineup this fall. A Sioux City native, Olson played college gridiron starting in 1923 and starred in 1924 on Burton Ingwersen’s Hawkeyes. Now a law student and Kappa Sigma member, he weighs 190 pounds and coaches rate him as ideal guard material with potential conference stardom.

Carl Mays Returns to Form as Submarine Pitcher Shines
Carl Mays is back in prime as a submarine pitcher with 29 scoreless innings in recent games. His win over the Giants 11 to 0 ended a three year jinx against that club and could boost the Reds pennant chances. The odd delivery, born from an arm injury and a stint in the outfield, has made him the greatest underhand pitcher in major league history.
