Story Is Getting Stronger That Champion Is to Shake
Jack Kearns and Place Himself Under the
Management of Atlantic City Mayor
'
' y KOHKHT V. MAXWKI.I.
Sports IMitnr Etenlns; 1'ubllc Ider
Atlantic City, July 11.
THE latest sensntlounl rumor in boxing circles which has swept the country t
In the lnst few days is Unit Jock l)cm.cv Is about to hung the exit sign
on his manager, attach the tinware, clvo him the nlr anil otherwise cut looo
from John McKcrnun, known In polite anil other fistic circles as Jack Kcnrus.
In New York the report is RCttlnjc stronger every minute j in Philadelphia the
wise persons say there must bo something to it, and down here where they
pound the lloardwnlk, nbsorb the cool air and exude hot air, the (oiks arc
all het up about It.
This is only natural, bccnue the luside dopesters have it that Edward
L. Under, Mayor of America's Playground, will take charge of the affairs of
the champ of the universe, and the Inauguration Is to take place any day.
In other words, the story is that everything is set nnd the fireworks arc
bout to begin.
Changing managers Is n popular Indoor sport with boxers. Unless one
has had seven or eight one is not considered h real, hlgh-clnss fighter. Home
times n champ will decide to handle his own affairs, thus saving the manager's
"cut," but more often some one else is selected to fill the job reluctantly
Tacatcd by his predecessor. Most of tiie time the startling news of a mana
gerial chu'ngp is not taken seriously nnd the scribes just giggle and refuse to
give It 11 fumble. However, in a case like this, where the greatest money
getter the game ever produced Is involved, we nre forced to give It more than
passing notice.
Whenever nnything happens in Atlantic City It is discussed pro and '"
at informal meetings In the lobb) of the Trnymoie, which are proMdiM over
by Daniel J. McLoughlin. chief of the (Sreeters' Association. Mv. Mclaughlin
was presiding when wo stepped into the picture.
"What about this story of Mayor Hadcr taking charge of Jack Dcmp
Bey's business In the future?" we ventured, after gaining recognition. "Any
truth iu the report that Kearns is about to be giveu the gate?"
"Well," replied Mr. Mclaughlin impressively, "jes and no. Where
there Is smoke there always Ih lire, arid 1 can see a lot of smoke. Everybody
eays n change is to be made and our Mayor Is the logical successor, but you
never enn tell.
tf yS .-I suggestion," and Mr. McLaughlin wagged his he-ad sagely,
"I would call on Mr. Hadcr and ask His Honor what it's all
about. Perhaps you can get the low-down, to say nothing of the
up-and-down and ttrice-acrnss. He might know something about it.
All News to the Mayor
fpHEREFORE. we called on the Mayor in his office In City" Hnll. T.est
J- there be some doubt about it, nllow us to state that all Mnors can hi
found in their offices in the City HolK Mr. Hadcr is no exception. He was
In, despite the fact it was a hnlf-holldny and all of the others had left. The
Chief Executive at the shore is a hard-working person.
Hlrznncr was at his desk when we walked into the private office. Papers
were piled around him and he was busy strnightenlng things out. His coat was
off nnd he sat there in his shirt sleeves, perspiring profusely as he toiled, but
aridently enjoying himself.
"How about that story thnt you" we asked as nn overture, but the
ringing of the telephone crabbed the speech
"Just a minute." said the Mayor, and he picked up the receiver.
After the call had been answered there was a knock at the door and Mr.
Bader answered it in person. A woman who had been asked to get out of
ker home by a new owner wanted to know If the Mayor could help her. The
Mayor could.
"Go home nnd send thnt owner to me." he snid. "Don't worry nny more
bout it."
Half a dozen other callers came after that, and then Mr. nailer said :
"What was the question you started to ask me?"
' "Are you going to manage Jack Dempsey?" we Inquired boldly.
The Mayor laughed. "Not that I know of." he replied. "I have read
11 about It, but that's all. Demptey never sold anything to me, so I know
mothing about it. The best thing is to ask Dempsey.
HI DON'T caro to discuss it because, as a business man, I never
A entertain a proposition unless it is presented to mc. Right now,
you know as much about it as I, so what can say?"
Bader and Dempsey Are Pals
FIS known thnt Dempsey and Mayor Uader nre close friends nnd wero
together cpnstnntly while the champ was training hore. They met every
Morning to run on the road or go horseback riding; they went to church to
gether, and .Tack always turned to his friend for advice.
Two hours before the fight In Jersey City, when Dempsey was resting In
the home of Gennrnl Heppenheimer, he discussed the battle with Uader.
"Whnt do you think of this fellow?" he asked. "Is he as good as they
eay he is?"
Uader told him what he hnd seen and suggasted n body attack nnd short
rights to the jaw. Dempsey said he had figured it out the same way, and
used that form of attack
It Is significant thnt the champ should talk things over with Under In
stead of Kearns before such an important buttle. Kenrns evidently recnted
this, for there was a rnnrked coolness between them after thut
Several days before he left for Jersey City reports were spread that
Dempsey had quarreled with Kearns and a split was Imminent. The chump
suddenly discovered that his business affairs were not In the best shnpe and
collectors constantly appenred for payment on old debts. Many luwsults were
filed, all against the champ, and he didn't know anything about them. This
became monotonous and he finally called his manager to account.
The lntest lawsuit Is likely to caiibc a permanent break, if reports are
, to be taken seriously. Mrs. Barrett, who wos enretaker at Dempsey's cottage
and cooked and kept the plnce In order for eight weokg, was given the Inrge
eum ot $100 for her work. Before leuving for Jersey City Teddy Hayes gave
her a check and said, "Take this and we will see you Inter."
Mrs. Barrett filed suit for $300 more and this reached Dempsey In the
West. Jack wired back he didn't know nnything about It, but would see that
the woman was given what she asked. Thus the champ again was hnnded
eome u rides l red publicity,
ALL the champ has had since tanning the title is trouble. Tie is
J constantly in legal Jams, and, it is said, through no fault of his,
Bader Not After Managerial Job
"llrH. BADER, Is not seeking the position as mnnagcr of Jnck Dempsey. He
1VJL never has broached the subject to Jack nor has Jack said anything to
him. It is not known if Mr Bader wonld accept the position If offered. Ho
ta a big business man, has been elected to the highest office In Atlantic City,
is comfortably fixed nnd has no desire for flnancinl gain. He Is a national
figure and has the respect and confidence of all.
Before he became Mayor. Mr. Bader was president nnd superintendent of
the Farmers' Supply and Produce Co. and also ran n big contracting business
lie employed more than "00 men.
He knows nil nbout nthletlcs, having played football In his younger dnys
at I.atrnbe nnd on the Phillies and Athletics. He attended the University of
Pennsylvania for n time, but never played on the Red and Blue eleven.
Mayor Bader would loso no prestige if he took up the managerial reins
for Dompsy. He would help the champ In more ways than one and do a
whole lot In restoring him to public esteem. He nlso could handle his business
In a businesslike wny.
The champ of the world is a big money-maker. In a yenr he will get,
.through various sources lihe the movies, testimonials to advertisers, theatrical
work and boxing, close to one-half million dollars That's a lot of money for
one man to make. Manufacturing concerns clenrlng a profit of that size
would have thousands of employes, mnny buildings and an investment which
would run Into millions.
Kenrns has handled Dempsey's affnirs In n shrewd mnnner when It enmo
to mnklng matches and bringing him before the public. He must be given
credit for taking Jack when he was virtually unknown and pushing him to
the top of the ladder. He Is a very capable boxing manager one of the best.
According to latest reports from the West, he will continue as Dempsey's pilot,
and Kearns himself admits he Is in no danger of losing his job.
But you never can tell what will happen in the Boxing game.
Perhaps Dempsey desires a change and will offer the position to Mayor
JBader. Then It will be up to hizroner to uccept or refuse.
WJOWRVEll, there is one thing certain. If he accepts, Mr. Bader
will do a lot toward elevating the boxing game.

Up Over Yarn That Dempsey Is to
EIGHI .300 HITTERS
AND IN LAS PLACE
Phils Have Wrecking Crew at
Present Failure of Pitchers
Keeps Them in Collar
NEW MEN PROVE STARS
Fans who follow the doings of the
Phillies with the Interest that only n
dyed-ln-the-wool fan enn hnve arc
nsking each other whether their fnvor
Ites are going to take a spurt forwanl
since the acquisition by the Donovanltes
of Goldle Itapp, Jimmy Smith nnd Ed
Konetohy. During the last week there
was a notlcenble improvement in the
play of the Hroad and Huntingdon
streets clan when the three above named
players were In the lineup. One of the
two gnines won during the week came
as the result of splendid playing on the
part of the trio, while the other gnmes
nave shown that there Is n possibility
that something will be doing in the
future once the pitching staff gets Into
shape.
Outside of shortstop the Inner works
looks better than It has since the pennant-winning
team of 1015. Konetchy
with his experience nnd knowledge of
the gnme has made the Initial Back look
like it did when I.udcrus wns In his
prime. T,udv wns n better slugger thnn
Konetchy, but he could never field in
the same class as the former Brooklyn
itnr J. Miller, nnd lce luck the clnss
01 nrst snekers for n big league tenm.
The former butted well for n while, but
for nil around ability he Is fnr over
shadowed by Koney. I.ee lnck experi-
nee and nothing else. Perhaps n year
of sitting on the benVh and watching
the antics of the veterans of the League
combined with what Konetchy will teach
him. should make I,ee next jenr a regu
inr. He has all the natural nbillty nec
essary to make n first snekcr, but the
thing that counts the most, experience,
Is lacking,
How They Hit
Jimmy Smith, the former Cincinnati
utility pla.icr, Is one of the smnrtest
fielders we have had for some time. He
covers more ground than Johnny Baw
ling" and he goes after everything hit
nenr "ecoiid base, scooping up ground
ers nnd making throws thnt hnve opt tied
the eyes of the fans. Like I.ee. he will
elenn much knowledge from the veteran
Konetchy.
("oldie Itnpp has the makings of one
of the best third bnsemen of the League.
Hnd he been nble to hit with the same
consistency during hla entire stay with
the Giants as he did nt the start, Mc
Grow would never hnve let him go.
Itnpp is one sweet fielder, coming in tor
bunts like Milton Stock and tspcniing
the hnrd ones like Helnie Groh. Out In
his old pnsture ground In th" minors
Happ was noted as a sterling fielder.
Once his hitting picks up, he will be
talked nbout as much as -iny of the stars
of the League. During the lat)t week lie
showed rare power with the nsh, smash
ing out one hit out of three times lit bat
In his first game, three out of five. In
cluding a double, in his second game
and two singles out of four trips to the
plate on Saturday In his third game.
.Six hits out of twelve times at bat for
an average of .500 is hitting something
like a big leaguer. If Rnpp continues
at his present pace. Donovan will hnve
one worry lifted from his grny-thatched
dome.
Smith Bats .:t75
In four games Jimmy Smith has
socked out six hits, including a homer
and a double, out of sixteen trips to the
plate, which Is batting nt an average
of .375.
Konetchy has hnd five hits out of
fourteen trips to the platter for a mark
of .857, which Is right smart hitting In
any league. Taking the three players
as u whole, and It Isn't the hnrdest
thing In the world to dope out that in
their first 'ew games they have given
Donovan n thousand per cent profit In
the deal.
A shortstop who can field wilt give
the Donovnnltes an Infield second to
none in the League, provided, of course,
the three new men continue to swat nt
their present clip.
The outfield la one of the best in the
league as far as hitting is concerned.
tfoth .Meusel and (J.v Williams are away
up in the threo-hundred list, and both
are good fielders. Wrlghtstone ut pres
ent Is batting at a .305 clip. K. Miller
and Parkinson, who have been alter
nating nt shortstop, have anything hut
unhealthy batting averages, the formor
clipping the horsehlde nt .H12 nnd the
lntter nt .303.
If the shortstoppers could field, Don
ovan would hnve one of the best com
binations in either League. Seven .300
hitters In the field at present, six of
whom can cover ground, would mako
uuy team with n capable pitching staff
n pennnnt contender.
which, bringing nil the facts nnd
figures down to rock bottom, prove
the failure of the Phils to do any
thing worth while in the League down
to the matter of pitching iilone and
fielding at shortstop.
Bruggy Is batting .815. which gives
Donovan eight .800 hitters at present,
counting of course the three-tiny nver
ngOH of the new men, to start any gumc
with. What good pitching wouldn t do
for such a tenm Isn't worth talking
nbout.
Wilbur Hubbell. Jimmy King and
Ilauragnrtner have bad to hear the
brunt of all the twirling, with oc
casional help from George Smith.
Meadows is suffering from n had
nrm. Causey, tnuled to the OinntJt,
suffered from a sore nrm for months,
Delnwnrc Uetta has Just returned
from the hospital after an opera
tion. Keonnn was sent to Roches
ter lnst week for more seasoning. Out
hldn of thnt the pitching stuff nt Urond
and Huntingdon streets lo one of the
best in the country. Hut Donovan has
hope He looks at his fielders and
j earns for pitchers, nnd maybe he will
get them nnd mnybo he will not. If
Cnusey had been. In shape and Meadows
pitching in nny kind of form and the
other regulars had sufficient rest be
tween turns there is little doubt In tho
mind of the uveroge fan thnt the I'hils
would be out of the cellar.
Slim Harris, Iron Man
The victory of Slim Harris ovei
Cleveland lnst Saturday was his eighth
straight, a brilliant record for a twlrler
with a last-pluce team, i.eity .Moore
has five straight to his credit. If Rom
mel. Hasty, Naylor and Keefe would
tome through the Mackmen would
sweep their wny up to the top of the
recond division, Judging by their present
rnte of speed with good pitching.

Nelson Type
BENNY IS WELL AGAIN
Ily I.OUI8 II. .TAFFE
Out of the West has come n flstman
who has brought back reminiscences of
the once Durable Dane, Rattling Nel
son. He Is Jimmy Hanlon, of, Denver,
and tho Colorado clouter has fascinated
New York persons of pugilism so much
thnt bpnrobably will get n crnck nt the
lightweight championship shortlv nfter
tho start of the regular 1021-22 sen
son If not hefore.
In fact. Penny Leonard, the champ
himself, already has announced himself
willing to take on the Denver gjoveman,
.Tack Welnsteln. of the Penny Leonard
Cheering Club of Philadelphia, returned
from the big city today with a story to
the effect that tho tltleholder was readv
yes. anxious to meet the Hanlon
fellow.
"I never had the chance to box Bat
tling Nelson," Welnsteln quotes Leon
ard ns snying, "and I have never met
nny one who used the snme tactics ns
the Dnne. I hnve been wanting for
some time to meet one of those nggres
slve. tenrlng-in battlers, nnd Just ns
toon ns n promoter offers me it dnte with
Hnnlon I'll sign for the match right
nwny,"
Is Well Again
Welnsteln also brought the informa
tion thnt Leonard 'had entirely recu
perated from a sore thoat, which caused
the cancellation by Leonard of a match
with Bailor Freedtnan In Penton Har
bor -on the Fourth of July, and several
other later bouts.
Leonard will rest for nnother week
before he will resume training, nnd In
the meantime his manager, Pllly Gib
son, is finishing negotiations for a
siring of mntehes for the tltleholder
during the open-nlr season. One of
these bouts mny be with Lew Tendler
then again it may not.
According to Welnsteln, Gllisnn seems
to be Ignorant of the hitch In n Tendler
Leonard bout. "I nlrendy hnve ngrced
to terms for n meeting between Penny
nnd Tendler," says Gibson, "and, renlly
I no not know why the contest hns not
been closed yet. Ilennnn Tnylor, of
I'hilndelphin. has closed for my end of
the contest, nnd it appears to me ns If it
is entirely up to Tendler now."
Weight question
Tendler says he, too, is ready to sign
up with Taylor. "Sure, I want to box
Leonard," snys Lew. "but the bout
must bo mnde nt 185 pounds, weigh
ing In nt 2 o'clock."
Indicntions point to the question of
weight, ns n hitch In the closing of
the Tendler-Leonard set to. nnd In the
meantime the poor old public has been
rending a lot of gossip about thp match
and still it doesn't know whnt It in all
nbout.
The fnns wnnt to see b match between
Leonard and Tendler, that's a cinch,
hut unless these boxers get together be
fore long the cash customers will cool
off. Interest will subside .ttnd the thing
may go tint.

TUB worth of n battleship depends
not only upon its slxtcen-inch guns,
but also upon the two-foot wall of steel
that guards Its defense.
The same goes for a heavyweight.
The fact that Dempsey carries both the
sixteen -inch guns nnd the armor-plate
jnw accounts for his preponderance.
And an he also happens to have the
speed of a destroyer, you can figure for
joureelf the probabilities of his early
destruction.
After Thirty Years
IT HAS been close upon thirty years
since Jame J. Corbett stepped forth
with n new boxing style and upset the
old order.
In that thirty years no one else has
come along with anything equal to
Corbett'g all-around skill in the heavy
weight class. No one has arrived who
hns known as much about tho science
of boxing. If Corbett had only hnd
the punch of a FlUslmmons or a Demp
sey he would have been the greatest
heavyweight of all time, with no one
carrying a look in for at least ten
)ears.
Neither Dempsey nor Carpentler ap
proaches Corbett as a boxing master,
with his nbillty to weave In and out, to
hit nnd get nwny.
Carpentler, with this elusive style,
plus the kick he carries, would have
topped Dempsey inside of ten rounds.
But to each mail only so much is al
Entirely Up to Tendler,
Wire From Billy Gibson
Wily Gibson, manager of Benny
Leonard, wires from New York :
"TU is a final ultimatum to Lew
Tendler. Am sick nnd tired of talk
emanating from his camp concern
ing match with Leonard. Tho cham
pion Is and has been willing to
mnke lightweight limit for Tendler,
but lntter lacks cournga to box him.
I insist that Tendler either Imme
diately signify his willingness to
box Leonard or forever hold his
peace. 1 nm willing to consider any
offer for match."

A great many good customers of the William

not only the standard of fair values at 1217-19
Chestnut Street, but a standard also of both
quality and style.
These radical reductions are more favorable
to the buyer than can be found elsewhere. If the
great business being done is a fair criterion from
which to judge appreciation on the part of the
buying public, then it is evident that more men ,
