DEMPSEY HIDES BEHIND “COLOR™ LINE In one of the most dramatic scenes ienacted in the history of the prize con- queror of Fred Fulton and generally ring in this city. Jack Dempsey, considered the foremost heavyweigh in the world, with the exception of Jess Willard, took refuge behind the “color” line in Madison Square Gar_ den Saturday night, when Joe Jean_ nette, the veteran negro heavyweigh of West Hoboken, challenged hihm to fight before upward of 8000 persons who filled the historic ampitheatre.

The Western wonder | was followed by Jimmy De Forrest, his second, and Jack Kearns, mana- jger. Dempsey acknowledged a \xarm\ | greeting from friends about the ring| iand from the galery. Then he glanced i across the ring to his opponent’s corner. Instead of the clean limbed Bonds, he saw big black, smiling Joe Jean- nette. his fists encased in six_ounce gloves and in fighting togs.

He put on his clothes and with his search of Bon appealed to. his seat retinue made a hasty exit from thej ‘buflding. What had started out to ba one of tha freatest fistic carnivals ever staged in this city had been marred by one of the worst examples of sportsmanship—or lack of it—ever witnessed in the annals of local box- ing. There is no alibi for anybody in- volved in the disgraceful episode. the first place, Dempsey accepted the negro's challenge, if he had an ounce -of sporting blood in his makeup. To be sure. he had every- thing to lose and nothing to gain but last night was no occasion publicly to | seek refuge behind the color line. There is no excuse whatever for Dempsey. That Group of Managers: On the other hand, the group of managers—the very clique that was responsible for the death of boxing under the Frawley law, according to Governor Whitman—probably sealed the fate of boxing in this state for some time to come. Prior to last night there was a strong probability that, with the change of the state ad- ministration, boxing would be re_es- tablshed as'a local sport, but after last night's disgraceful occurrence it s doubiful whether Governor-elect Al Smth, or any other public official would lend his support . to boxing. | Last night, of all times, petty feuds | and _differences among managers should have been forgotten.
