Not that it makes any difference of course The leap was made I understand with considerable noise in a few of the more raucous spots and there are one or two people here and there who headaches Most of our better citizens have resolved their New resolutions It is only fair to resolve thinge with a forgone conclusion that they wiU be forgotten by tomorrow Indeed you might say that a lot of that high resolve Is simply the result of too-thorough ceremony the night before A Turkish bath is apt to put a new light on things It Is a little difficult to do the right amount of recuperating today because of the football game and ail but by tomorrow night all will be back to normal and you can safely eschew your moral and righteous thoughts HHHE SPORTING GENTLEMEN of our own alleyways have all resolved to do bigger and better people this year Most of the fighting which includes managers somehow or other look forward to a prosperous 365 days Jack Dempsey is in town which may have something to do with the matter Whenever the ole Manassa Man sticks his graying dome into things the boys along the street begin to take a new lease on life He ls-and has sole talking point for so many years that he practically is an age all by himself Historians on such commonplace things as the world refer to the age" "bronze etc In the ring the "Dempsey That's getting away from the subject At any rate Jack is on hand and will referee here next Monday night when Speedy Dado meets A1 Brown at the Olympia PI COMPANY WITH the rest of humanity I am prompt in forgetting ajl resolutions so long as they jhave any good attached Today with football doing a picturesque fadeout and not a thing to ogle over the weekend except ice hockey motorbike racing polo and some 50 other pro- motions wo can be optimistic Optimism is at a new low around here too That makes the whole matter unwelcome So to offset any disputes split the resolves up Into two one constructive and one destructive: pONSTRUCTIVENESS COMES first as a concession to those guys who are always talking about prosperity being just around the corner So I 1 Listen patiently to all press agents 2 Believe all promoters 3 Cease making remarks about Jack Dempsey legs think he was a movie gal the way we go on about 'em 4 Be patient with referees who scare fights differently than Believe Willie Rooney when he says he has another champion Acknowledge that Bobby Pacho has a good deal on the ball even when hidden sometimes 7 Neither condemn nor praise amateur athletes too gushingly That goes particularly for football players who aren't the heroes or the villains sometimee pictured to be 8 Concede that most people have a lot of fun playing bridge 9 Agree with Tom appraisal of hlq Olympic bouts That goes for Gene Doyle at Hollywood also 10 Believe Frank Kerwln when he pops up again with a match he says is in at the Eastslde A REING DESTRUCTIVE is much more enjoyable and much easier Therefore be it resolved that I will not: 1 Believe anything any boxing manager says until proved 2 Get ga-ga over a sporting event and write that way My enthusiasm is mistaken most of the time 3 Permit those phoney matches to be mentioned herein as such unless they are within the athletic commission rules 4 Sleep through any more of Lou Daro's wrestling matches He gets positively Insulted Even ports writers get sleepy but Ixiule Be overly harsh In judging a courage It takes plenty Just to ret in that ring (J Pay any more attention to the so-called big shot than they de- serve which in most cases Is none at all 7 Believe Jack Dempsey He changes his mind too often Attempt to pick the winners of football games 9 Try to beat the price by picking a second choice over the favorite In a race I am willing to admit that bookmakers know what doing 10 Keep any of these resolutions If you see anything like in that collection nail it free A good many people can think up better and worse resolutions but they probably intend to keep them and that is a useless procedure and I am not tn sympathy with it Oh yes-HAPPY YEAR!
