When the Sharkey-Stribling waltz was being played to a profitable tune at Miami Beach last winter, Dempsey was the fair-haired boy | with the biwich from Wall Street and Eighth Avenue. One of them remarked he was “amazed’ at Dempsey's flair for attending to important details meanwhile steam- ing up the big ballyhoo. The big men of boxing discovered a side to Dempsey's ability they did not know existed and they sought at once to do something .about.it. The Garden, it is understood, of- fered Dempsey a post as “vice- resident in charge of boxing,” the in idea being that he would sup- ome of the public appeal los® ugh Tex Rickard’s death and act as the big window-dressing man for the more important fights. The hitch came pn the question of sal- ary. Dempsey was offered $50,000 but refused it and demanded $100,- 000. The Garden viewpoint was that Dempsey first should demon- strate he was worth more than $50,000. Jack's attitude was he needed to make big money quickly, rather than to wait for a “break.”” In the mellowing ease and breeze of Miami Beach, Dempsey no doubt at the time sounded very plausible to himself. In fact quite a num- ber of friends told him, in effect, he would be foolish to dispose of his talents for a mere $50,000 to a This ycung man can make or break the 1930 Yankees. He is a third baseman and that's what the former world’s champions need to get back in the running.

Since then, how- ever, in the cold reality of winter along Chicago’s lake-front, Demp- sey has discovered that without his own fist-work as an attraction, it is difficult to break even, let alone make a profit. Charley White, whose left hook was .a lightweight menace before Benny Leonard became champion and for some time thereafter, has aroused some vivid memories by his talk of a come-back. The Colorado Springs Gazette recalls that White once fought Freddy Welsh, when the Briton was champion, on La- por Day, 1916, in the Colorado city and says: «Just before the fight got under way, a section of the arena gave way and two persons were killed and hundreds injured . . . . The fight itself was not so lmeresc}ng. Welsh followed his usual cautious style and was not averse to back- pedaling, a policy later adopted by Gene Tunney. White, on the other hand, was on top of Welsh all during the Dbattle, attempting to gain a decisive victory by a knockout. He was unable to con- pect with his famous left hg\nd with the chin of the champion, wever. hc:‘when the referce gave the de- cision to Welsh a riot was started. Principals in the fight, the rc(e_ree, sports writers at the ringside, ring- worms and those seated near the ring were forced to seek cover un- der the wood platform, in order 0 escape the volley of pop-bottles, rocks and other weapons thrown by the occupants of the seats high- er in the arena.” ., ATTENTION The Pioneers and Auxiliary of Tgloo No. 6 will hold a card party ofter their meeting Friday, Feb- ruary 14th at about 8:30 p. m.
