Dempsey Celebrates 63rd Birthday in Santa Monica
Former heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey marked his 63rd birthday at his Santa Monica apartment. He urged boxing to clean up its own affairs, noting the lack of top fighters stems from closing small neighborhood clubs and suggesting a national czar or commissioner as unlikely but possible. Dempsey, born William Harrison Dempsey in Manassa, Colorado, on June 24, 1895, spent time with four granddaughters and offered views on boxing governance.

Baseball Battle On In Congress
Washington lawmakers debated how far antitrust laws should apply to professional sports. Three positions emerged: a Judiciary Committee bill led by Emanuel Celler, a competing proposal by Albert W. Cretella, and Keating’s plan. Celler warned of trouble and warned Keating’s plan would grant carte blanche to restrict competition, notably affecting New York Yankees access. Keating predicted a decisive victory for his version, while Cretella cited growing sentiment and support for curbing major league broadcasts in minor league territory.
