JarJc Dempsey Will ,
Make an Appearance
Friday In Prize Ring
Los 1 Angeles, Cal.. March 4.
Jack Dempsey will enter the ring
here tomorrow night for the first
; time since he won the heavyweight
championship at Toledo, O., July 4,
' last, to box four exhibition rounds
with Terry Keller of New York.
Tack Kearns, Dempsey's manager,
said Keller years ago boxed to a
draw with Dempsey. Keller also
claims a decision over Joe Beckett,
English heavyweight, when the lat
ter was fighting under another name,,
which Kearns did not recall.
He also said Keller had fought a
draw with Dempsey when the cham
pion was young in the ring, but that
Dempsey later had defeated the
New Yorker.
Dempsey has been training daily
for several weeks. ' 1
' "Kid" Geason Thinks
Present Base Ball
Season Will Be Good
Chicago, March 4. (Chicago Tn-bune-Omaha
Bee Leased Wire.)
William Kid Gleason, the, gray
topped White Sox pilot, arrived in
Chicago today and will remain until
the South Side ball tossers start for
the Waco, Tex., training camp,
March 12. ' .
Some of the faces on the Sox
register are new to him, but Secre
tary Grabiner has all -the dope oft
the various bushers on file for in
spection of the manager, and when
the kid gets his first peek at their
actions on the ball lot he will draw
his own conclusions.
The kid thinks this is going to be
a humdinger of a pennant race in
the American league. He is of the
opinion that the New York Yankees
'with Babe Ruth knocking out home
tuns will cut quite a figure.

N the old days before the boll
there weren't 30 rent days in
who fought.
i i
Then the galloping kinetoscope busted forth and the fighters started
to get their hair cut and stall 20 rounds for the movies.
Now they part their hair in the middle and are busting- out, as Francis
X. Bushwas and male Cheataaras. There is more axle grease going
oh a fighter's hair combs than there is on axles. , Remember what old
John L. used to think about guys who parted their straw in the middle?
That is, before he met Corbett. John L.Jigured he could flatten anything
that wore hair, including the barbershop floor. Anybody that put goose
soun on their skullniece around John s department was due for a post
graduate course in the nearest hospital. '
In Sullivan's time, pictures were limited to the kind that were taken
with an ash barrel camera and a lens thajt would make a fine soup plate
if it wasn't so cracked. The proprietor of the picture abattoir fastened
his patients' necks in a wolf trap so they couldn't shimmy and spoil the
works. The rtsult was generally a portrait with a massacre expression
that buttowed very close up around the ears. Also a pair of croBS-eyed
lamps that looked like a couple of shoebuttons on a bowlegged guy's boots.
Put a set of cock-eyes like that on a whale and the poor bird would swim
himself right out of the ocean. The photographer sold you the verdict at
$3 a short dozen and kept the plate so that he coud blackmail you later.
Now the industry has reached such an excruciating point of develop
ment that the camera can spar with Kid Broad and come out uncracked.
The kid is some lens buster and was about the first fighter to capitalize
his beatings. The kid plays the pirate parts, sometimes paling around
with Ensign Kid and sometimes driving taxicabs. In garden scenes,
they bury the kid to his neck and he plays the cauliflojyer.
Jim Corbett is the duke of the profession. Jim is always hanging
around neighborhoods where lead pipes are trumps. Somebody generally
insults an alderman's honest daughter. . Jim takes off his three-ply kid
gloves with the lace edging and starts tin to sock one gross of assorted
sizes and shapes of the very best thugs. As Jim throws a natural with
either mitt, the roughians are soon staggering around like micte who took
wood alcohol in mistake for rat poison. Jim is a sourball in the close-ups
as there ain't enough putty in the jvorld to caulk up his wrinkles, but he
sure can massage 'em pretty with his slapsticks. In one picture, he
irons out 200 hard-boiled playmates who thing that blackjacks are lip
sticks. All the pies in the. Corbett comedies are made in boiler factories.
In the final fade-out with the alderman's daughter, Jim's part is
played by a substitute who does the kissing and other dare devil work.
Benny Leonard is also a movie hound. He is busy fighting his way
through a six-reeler under the direction of the gent who used to throw
fish to the sea lions and isn't skeered of anything. As fight pictures are
barred in the U. S., Ben only uses his left hand.
And while you are carving the turkey's neck, don't forget Jack
Dempsey in 6,000 feet of celluloid recklessness, never seen before on any
American stage, and very little in Europe. ; "

sought Wilhoit after the close of
the season and finally it was an
nounced that he had been signed by
the Red Sox. With the sale of Babe
