May 7.—Jack Demp sey, world? heavyweight champion, has a slightly injured linger nail on ins right hand and has discontinued training for a few days. The' cham pion came to Salt Lake yesterday forenoon from his camp near Helper, Utah, and left this morning for Provo, Utah, where a celebration will be held in bis honor tomorrow. Dempsey said he will Boon slnrt training In earnest for. hi? bout with Torn Gibbons on July 4 at Shelby. Mont. Fournier Goes Hitlcss. Jacques Fournier, traded to Brook l>n by St. Louis and who said he wouldn’t play there, yesterday made his first appearance with the Robins and failed to hit. TAGGING THE BASES By International N>w» Service. Eddie Ronimell, the official Yanke* ' jinx, gained another decision over the House of Muggins, the Athletics win ning the odd game of the series, 5 to 1. Only Ruth and Witt could see Ed die's knockle ball, each getting thres hits. Minus Speaker, who was given the air for three daye as the result of getting personal with Umpire Ormsby. the Indians dropped a elose one to the Browns, 6 to 4. Hits by Tobin, Foster arid Jacobson won the game in the ninth. In his first spoearance of the sea son, ('adore scored a 7 to 4 victory over the Fhlllies for the Dodgers. Cy Williams, however, made Ids eighth 't homer of the year. After losing five straight, the Reds won a weird bail game from the Pi rates, S to 7, with a two-run rally in the ninth. Rogers Hornsby smote two home runs during the course of a parade the Cardinals staged at the expense of Osborne, Cheeves and the Chicago Cuba. Score, 16 to 4. With Waiter Johnson whistling them under the Red Sox noses, the Senators gained a 4 to 1 verdict. The Tigers again finished second to the White Sox, 4 to 3, the latter making five double plays behind Robertson and bunching hit* off Francis to win in tha eighth, t I Johnson Picks Tough Ones (By Pacific A Atlantic) Preparing for his bout with Jess Willard on May 12 at the Yankee Stadium, Floyd Johnson does all of his heavy punching with George Godfrey. Here he is landing a left on the negro’s chin. THK COSTI.Y DEFICIT. It has been just exactly two years since Jack Dempsey began training for his last fight. The absence of competitive talent in that period has cost him between j $600,000 and $300,000, a tidy sum, no matter from what viewpoint you may take your bearings. No wonder the champion is hoping the big May show will crowd at least one worthy challenger upon public notice, for if it doesn't he will still be out of a job, barred front practising his chosen profession. In base ball, football, golf, tennis, polo, track, etc., individual greatness is a big boost, rather titan a barrier, for continued performance. In tlie fight game alone superiority may worl^ with backspin, forcing • star Into retirement. Superior prowess broke up Jim Jeffries’ career, just as it has checked Dempsey's march to greater financial gain. HAMM. • Sweet Genevieve, oh, kid, believe Hero is the entry with the stuff; l.est you forget this certain bet. Just write it down upon your cuff, So that in future you can sing: I knew that bimbo was a king! ' FIFTY-FIFTY. Tite international golf record between Great Britain and the United State might be summed up as follows: American. Winning British Amateur—Walter J. Travis, 19S4. Briton Winning United States Amateur—H. H. Hilton, 1911. Americans Winning British Open—Hutchison, 1921; Hagen, 1922. British Winning United States Open—Vardon, 1900; Hay, 1920. So the count is 3 and 3. although Jock Hutchison, one of the United States victors, was British born, with Ills golf star launched at St. Andrews. That South American rumble isn't another earthquake, but the Argen tine getting worked up over Firpo's next start. If Dempsey can’t get. another engagement in his own class, why not let Benny Leonard take a chance with a slingshot snd a brick? The same idea got David more publicity than any seven champions have ever known, barring only Samson and his jaw ribbed mashie niblick. ’ In the old days after a ball club had bagged one or two pennants, It was sometimes difficult to keep Its interest up. I"f isn't so difficult now. with a shot at $.">,000 per athlete in the coming division of the October swag. There is nothing like the fragrant odor of important money to keep the seent clean and clear to the end of the trail.

After the decision the huge crowds that witnessed the fight wildly cheer ed the “Idol," thousands rushing to wards the ring in an effort to reach Carpentler and shake his hand. Scores of women climbed or er tbe ropes and engaged in a free-for-all contest to kiss the “man who came back.” This was the first time ihat Carpcn tier ever attempted to win the French heavyweight championship of France, although he held the title for Europe. His next fight will be against Joe Beckett, the European champion, in London in June. Then he will again fight the Senegalese Siki, in Paris, in September.

' I never need a pencil in Cuba* FOR more than twenty years I have done business with men who grow the finest tobacco in the world. In all that time I have never “figured” whether I could afford to buy the kind of tobacco that insures the quality of La Palina. Price is never a considera tion. I ask myself one question, “Is this tobacco fine enough for La Palina?’’ If it is, I buy—if not, some one else may have it. The quality of La Palina is insured in other ways. For example, there is no limit to the amount of money I will invest in fine tobacco. Tobacco crops vary, some years fine tobacco is plenti ful, other years there is scarcely enough. And so I keep on hand, as a protection against poor crops, more than three and a half million dollars’ worth of tobacco that I know is fine enough for La Palina. In the making of So fine a cigar as La Palina there is only one right way to cure the tobacco, to combine it for filler, to select and prepare the wrap per, to actually make the cigar, and to pack and ship the .finished product. The men who supervise these various processes have made the study of to bacco and cigar-making their life work. Men often ask if it pays to hold to these costly methods. In answer I can say this—that I am repaid every time I smoke a La Palina. And there are enough cigar smokers who share this belief to require the manufacture of more than one hundred and fifty mil lion La Palinas a year.
