DEMPSEY GIVEN $350 IFOR BOUT LAST YEAR; NOW RECEIVES $27,500 Heavyweight Contender Had Rough Sledding Before His "Tryout" With Homer Smith in Racine Ama teur Boxers Begin Tournament at Olympia Tonight , By ROBERT w". MAXWELL hporls Editor Erenlnic l'ubllc I.eler WHEN William Harrison Dempsey, known to.tlio trade as "Jade," pauses and reflects over the happenings of ono short year ho nlll burst tight out laughing, provided Jack ever pauses and reflects over anything. It surely is strange what a difference just a few months make In tho career of a youthful gladiator. Today William Harrison Dempscy will spill some lnlc over an agreement to box Jess Wlllard, and when he. fulfills his part of the contract Tex ntckard wilt hand him $27,500 cash monej. When Dempscy thinks of that ?:7,500 he's Just GOTTA laugh. Just about a year ago Jack the Giant Killer and his manager, Jack Kearns, wero bumping tho bumps and counting their pennies out In Chi ca.o. They hied themselves eastward, with nothing but a four;round repu tation and a deslro to show what they could do at a longer distance. Chi cago was the first stop, and there they remained becauso their credit ai not good on tho railroads and It -i too cold to ride on tho outside. Dempsey had defeated Gunboat Smith and grabbed a decision from Call Morris, but those battles did not place him in a class with the top notchers. lie still was a preliminary fighter and few would lake him seriously. A year ago the fum of Dempsey and Kearns had tough sledding. They wanted work, but the promoters could not see them, rinally, on one cold day, when the hotel bill was due and the future looked dismal and dreary, Kearns walked thiough three feet of snow to the office of a friend and ad mitted he had a world's champion starving on his hands. "He's a bear of n fighter," said Jack, "and can lick any licav weight in the world, but how can I prove It7 He isn't eating regularly, light managers have given litm the go-by and It's too cold to hunt for a regular job. What am I going to do?" "If that guy is as good as jou say lie 1?," replied the friend, "I think I can help you. There's a show scheduled for llaclno In a week or to and John Wagner is looking for a wind-up. I'll see what can bo done." TkEMPSEY iMs accepted and given a tryout against Homer Smith. " the hlg heavyweight, who has boxed considerably in Philadel phia. Homer is no slouch, hut Dempscy knocked him stiff in one louud and collected S3C0 for his trouble. .Vote, twelve monthi tavr, hs receives $27,500 for a fight and cats as many meals as he iclshcs. 'j it any wonder he shoultJLpause, reflet, t and laugh" Dempscy Was Rescued by Manager Jack Kearns JACK arrived in Xew Yoik this morning after n lengthy trip from Salt Lake City. There weie rumors galore when his absence became known, and some of the scribes over in the big town hinted that his IlA man ager, Jack Cui'ley, was throwing a wrench in tho nmchlneiy or putting the ball in tho wrong pocket or something like- that. They dished out a' swell yarn which was long on languago but short on facts. Jack Curley has nothing to do with Dempsey, for Kearns has him signed to a copper riveted contract which cannot bo broken with TXT. The big heavy weight stopped over a few das en route because he was 111 and, anyway, the walking was bad. , Dempsey went West to attend to some trifling matter a divorce from his wife and when friend wife got through with him he found himself short of ready cash. He got as far as Kansas City, and from thero went .to Kxcelsior Spilngs, Mo, to wire Kearris that he was temporarily em barrassed and to ship him a bundle of coin to satisfy the railroad con ductors. Kearns jumped into his Alice-blue jacer, drew as much money as he could carry from the bank, sent it westward and Mr. Dempsey de parted eastward. That's the real cause of the delay, and Tex Itlckard prob ably knows by this time why tho papers were not signed Saturdaj. Demp sey wasn't theie. But there IS a Cut ley mixed up in the affaii -a joung person named Curley Fisher, who once was Dempsey's traveling companion. Jack Invited Curley to make the nip, and the double expense knocked him flat before Jib reached tho half-way station. However, a little thing like lack of railroad fare would not huo pre vented Dempsej 's trip Uast. He has ridden higher than an upper and lower than a lower berth, and ho is not afraid to tackle it again. Jack rode the rods and hung on the roof of our best transcontinental freights When, business was bad, and .still is quite familiar with the system. It 'was Jack Kearns and the family bankroll that provided him with the present tour on the cushions. IS SOGX as the documents arc signed liempsey will begin tiaiu " ing at $1000 a week. He wilt join a show for six weeks and lag rnough coin aside to pay some alimony, it nothing else. With one divorce to His credit he is a regular actor. Amateurs, Will Shoiv at the Olympia Tonight AMATEUR boxing bouts will be given a tryout at the Olympia tonight, when Tommy O'Malley, brother of Johnny Mealey and the Xational A. A. U. 135-pound champion, meets Trank Varona, of Xew York, In a three-round bout to a DECISION". Samuel J. Dallas, president of the Xa tional A. A. V., will have charge of the bouts and is working with Harry Edwards, who donated the use of his club and will present the winner with a trophy. These bouts will continue for five weeks, and if successful an other class will have a chance to battle for the championship. Mr, Edwards has started something that all other clubs should follow. He ,1s giving the aspirants for honors in the boxing game a 'chance to how what they can do and appear before a large audience. Good boxers are scarce nowadays and it is necessary to develop new talent. If a fe,w of the amateurs are good enough to step Into professional ranks, they now will have a chance to prove It. Tonight's bout will be watched with in terest and will bo held before the semlwlud-up. Lew Tendler and Harlem Eddie Kelley are in the star event. Philadelphia fight fans are in a eluss by themselves. They are the wisest persons in the -norld, for they can spot a bum bout as quickly as any one and it is Impossible to put over any phoney stuff. More than that, they are big-hearted, generous sports, for they donate liberally to every oharlty that is brought to their notice. They gave almost $7000 to Jack McQuIgan and his family in the last year and responded liberally to the tobacco fund and boxing glovo shows. But they want arun for their money, and that was shown at the Xational last Saturday night. In the semlwlnd-up Jack Russo butted Oscar Gardner over the eye early in the first round and. the bout was stopped. Jack Hanlon imme diately arranged a substitute bout, but In tho meantime the wind-up be tween George Chaney and Pete Hartley was put on. In any other town most of the audience would have left after the wind-up, but not in this city. Every one kept his seat, waited until the substitute event was over and hen left Jncidentally, they saw the best match of the evening when Russo defeatcd'joe Tiplltz. v PHILADELFHIAXS attend a boxing ihow the same as they at. tend a. theatre. They ar.e on hand early for the opening bout and enjoy themselves from the start. The wind'tip does' not mean . much to them. They want five bouts the same as they tcant tlw acts in the theatre.

It will be the same rlne In which Leonard was unable to put oer the knockout punch. Tend ler now plans to ihow up Leonard by ending the fight beforo the regulation I six-round limit. I This morning Phil Glassman phoned 1 the offlco and gave forth this very con fident message : "Tell all the orld that , Lew Is Just as great a fighter as Ben ny Leonard. In fact, I think he is Just a little biuier. To prove this, VT. are going to knock out this fellow Kelly tonight. Leonard couldn't do it; WE can." Nothing succeeds like confidence. This same Kelly has been hit hard and often on the chin, but yet has to pass out. Once Eddla TVagond nailed him on the Jaw with a wild right swing, i but an eight count was enough to cn- i able Kelly to return.

The count nt the termi nation of tho forty minutes of play-f, stood: Penn, 29: Yale, 22, ', The Red nnd Blue rootere were given t quite a scare, or something like that, during- the first half, for It wasn't until after the Intermission that the homo team caught Its stride. During the first twentv minutes of play Yale's' quick covering up when Penn had the ball made the Red and Blue lossers appear slow and listless. Only One Field Goal How well the Yale team succaedeal In covering up Is easily seen in the; fact that Penn tallied but one field goaf, i In tho first half.
