September 21.—Jack Dempsey was called upon today to shadow box and spar with the law in Chancery Court in answer to the receivership petition of Jack Kearns, his former manager, who de- mands an accounting of all funds earned during the latter part of his stewardship. A vesterday in his quarters in West At- lantic City, called for the appearance of the title holder before Vice Chan- cellor Ingersoll today to give testi- mony concerning his earnings between August 3, 1923, and August 3, 1926, when_the contract’ between Kearns and Dempsey expired. There was a possibility of a continu- ance of the case until after the fight. Dempsey has been advised by counsel that the $100,000 bond he posted Sat- urday night, when papers restraining him “from leaving the State were served, would not be forfeited by his leaving New Jersey for the fight in Philadelphia, provided that he ap- peared in court upon the demand of the chancellor. Little training work was on the cards today—the court session left lit- tle time for punching of the bag and shadow boxing in the garage adjoin- ing his bungalow.: The champion be- lieves that he is ready now for his bout, and that heavy work would do him more harm than good. 2 8 7 6 GLOVES REACH NEW YORK.

The reason for this is that Dempsey has been put through the fiery te: and came through with flying colors The champion has been hurt—badly hurt. He has been on the floor. He has been knocked out of the ring. In fact, our chumpion heavyweight has been booted about considerably. and he always came up. He always got up, aside from one time. when he met Jim Flynn, and we can throw that fight out of the reckoning. The reason for the questions in Tunney's case is because the fans haven't had a chance to see what he would do under fire. Here they have opportunity for speculation.
