Dempsey Will Test
Law Against Showing
Of Fight Pictures
Chicago TrlhoncOnmlis life Limed Wlrf .
Chicago, Jan. 7. Jack Dempsey,
world champion boxer, is the chief
figure in a concerted move now
under way to secure repeal of fed
eral laws 'which forbid the trans
portation of fight films from one
state to another.' Dempsey has in
structed his attorney, Ray J. Cannon
of Milwaukee, to test the constitu
tionality of the federal law. He
has been advised that the statute
would not endure a contest before
the supreme court.
There is a feeling that the law
was passed chiefly to keep out of i
this country pictures of Jack John
son's fight in Cuba, which might
tell a queer tale of how he lost the
championship if the fans were per
mitted to study the action of that
event.
It ; is proposed to begin at once
the transportation and. exhibition
of prizefight pictures. Arrests will
follow and this will enable Dtmp
sey to get the matter before the
United States bupreme court.

Legion, through a legislative com
mittee to be appointed Sunday at a
meeting at Jefferson City, is pre
paring to sponsor a boxing bill.
There is a law' in Missouri which
prohibits prize fights and boxing
matches, but the law has been ig
nored in the past.
