UlCAGO, April 4. —Jack Dempsey's prospects of find ing: fight employ ment are no brighter, as the result of Jack Kearns' excur sion into the east, than they were before the champion's man ager left I.os An geles, Such was the Information hand ed out by Kearns today, while he paused here, between trains, en route io his home in I.os Angeles. Kearns made his statement after due consideration of what has been "tinted recently about ''syndicate'' "i'fers for a Dempsey'-Wtlls fight. “I don’t know a great deal more about that ‘yndicate* story Ilian you do,” Kearns said to Ills interviewer. “Jack Curley came to me shortly after I arrived in New York on this Inst trip, and wanted to know if he made a hid for a fight be tween Dempsey and Wills would I consider It. I told hint I would con sider his offer just the same as others, but would not get over-en Ihiislastir about any until someone with authority would say that a Dempsey-Wills fight could be held without interference. Curley went away, and I didn't hear from him. again. If he has been able to con vince some newspaper men that he lias the inside track for a chain pionship fight, that's his business.' “As a matter of fact," Kearns con tinued. “I did not go cast to talk bout fights. 1 had to lie on thP job I.“cause Teddy Hayes was In that am over the pictures. As soon as that was settled l made plans to Dave. I don't Intend to bother about Dempsey's appearance in a fight for -ome time. I have that suit against I'antages coming up for a hearing on the coast, and were getting ready to dispose of our apartment house lu Dos Angeles, so that will keep we hysy for a while. Then the champion lias that picture he’s working In. "Dempsey couldn't possibly get it tidy* for a fight of any consequence t "fore September, you know. We ■ay try to smoke up something for ‘hem. But there’s nothing definite ! i view, nor has there been for some lane. That's official, and final.” “What about that decision the New ' ivk boxing commission took over ('•» champion?” Kearns was asked. “Do you know any other funny —!es?” he countered, "earns talked business while here •■ 'th Floyd Fit**hnnions.

Coach Adams hopes to garner some of the points passed up in the century. Kinney shows considerable stuff In the mile, and Coaih Adams is train ing 1dm for this event, although he was a half miler in high school. Peercy and Prather are the best at hand for the 410, and Mead w^ll prob ably he used i/i the half mile. Yander jllppe Is another man who is liable to lull a surprise when the tryolits are held. In the field. Schneider is looking A\ell in the high Jump, with Peercy and If. Pinto close behind him. Slater 'and Yanderllppe are almost the sole candidates for the pole vault, and show promise of getting up above 11 feet by the time of the state inert. On the weights Adams is very weak, having no one on the squad who can perform in this department creditably. Slater, Mead and Prather have bef,n working out regularly on the shot, discus and javelin, but have not the physiques necessary to ex cel. Hurdle practice has not become regular due to lack of hurdles, but Prather and Kd Thompson are work ing on the weights and middle dis tances, Hansen having recently taken up the javelin, and shows promise of ability to hurl it far out. Coach Adams is hoping to get n duel meet with Midland college be fore the state meet to give his squad experience, which th?y will need, ns most of them are freshmen. Tech Nine Stages First Practice The first practice game of the year was inaugurated on the Tech High baseball field Friday afternoon, between the most promising men on Tech baseball squad. No score was kept of the game because of the change in lineup*. Coach Drummond now has 30 men who are trying for positions on the team. All the candidates were used in the practice game in order to learn their ability of baseball. Of the 30 men there are about 15 who al together look a little better than the teat. The Teehsters have one great weakness, and that Is in the hitting department. The fielding of tin* Teehsters is fairly good, but they will have to make a decided Imrovement In the hitting In order to be a danger ous contender for the city title. Will Decide Date and Place of Golf Tourney The date and place of the annual Nebraska state Rolf tournament will be decided next Tuesday when mem bers of the association bold their an nual meeting in Lincoln. The state golf tourney was hrlrt In Lincoln last year, but Omaha Is ex pected to land the tournament this sea son.
