But meanwhile, intil he proves his seriousness, Dempsey Dproposes to usurp the throne and stands ready to give sat- faction to everyone. He intends, like champions of the old school, to >e a busy rather than an idling cham- plon—to mix it with all comers orthy of his consideration. “Dempsey does not intend to ex his new found fame in the soft and y manner of later day cham- ions,” Kearns continued “Hé wishes to be of some use to his coun- in its fight for democracy. For reason he will return West and { ngage in his occupation of ship- ,uilding. He is young, with his | whole career p ally before him.

Whatever his cour- 1ge in the ring may be, no one can juestion, the gameness with which “ulton Bas sustained his upset. He aas attemped no excuse or alibi and says the highest tribute to the prow- sss of his conqueror. Fulton is still undecided as to whether or not he | will seek an early return engagement with Dempsey. He believes in an- sther meeting he could better sustain the reputation he had gained before his tremendous fall. The bout which ended so dis rously for Fulton proved almost as disastrous for Jack Curley and his tellow promoters. The total gate re- seipts amounted to only a little more hen $14,000. The fighters were paid $21,000—312,000 to Fulton and $9,000 to Dempsey. The total cost of oromotion, it is said, was close to $30,000. Where the promoters appear to have made their greatest mistake was n putting on the show in the late ifternoon. Had the match been held it night there is little doubt that it would have been a big money maker. None of the race track crowd. which isually makes or breaks, a show in he vicinity of New York, was on aand.
