Salt Lake City. 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

Fournier Goes Hitlcss.
Jacques Fournier, traded to Brook

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.

them under the Red Sox noses, the

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.

I.ayton. who defeated Sweetser, !•
one of England's ablest veterans and
was counted upon to give the Ameri
can champion a hard battle, particu
larly in view 6f the poor form Sw rei
ser had displayed on the English
links. Gardner's defeat was even
more of an upset.

' 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.
