By JACK VEIOCK. New York, Feb, 21. The tiger of the fistic jungle will sally forth to do battle with the coming of summer. Jack Dempsey, king of the heavyweight realm, is eager to campaign in defense of his title, and for the first time since he won His crown on the shore of Maumee Bay, in 1919, he has a busy year in prospect. Two big matcnes loom on Dempsey s scneduie. lne inrst will be his international battle for the world's' title against Georges Carpentier, the dapper French boxer-fighter. His second will be a return engagement with Jess Will ard, the man mountain from Kansas, providing, of course, that he defeats Carpentier. The Carpentier bout stated for in an open July 2, Mvillbe staged air arena in or near jew iork, ac cording to present plans. Tex Rick-ar-dy who will promote this much talked of match "On his own," plans to stage it in die metropolis, regard less of a limitation placed on. the price of seats by the New York state boxing commission. An outdoor arena with a seating capacity of from 50,000 to 65,000 will be erected for the staging of this battle and the fighters will gamble with the pro moter on a percentage basis. - If Dempsey comes off victorius against Carpentier he will face Wil lard m the same arena on Labor day. Meanwhile the, world's cham pion may engage in several bouts ot minor linoortance. Shortly betore 1920 faded into the vistas of history Dempsey displayed himself in Madison Square Garden for the first time since he became champioji. Opposed to him was pill Brennan, sturdy; Chicago heavy weight. And Bill put up the fight of his life against the titleholder. It took 12 rounds for Dempsey to dis pose of big Bill. The fistic public was amazed. Two years previous Dempsey had knocked Brennan out in six rounds. What was the mat ter with Dempsey, the champion? The writer saw Dempsey defeat Brennan. The Dempsey of that night was not the Dempsey of a year or of 18 months previous. Drawn, chalky-skinned, fidgety, sometimes almost indifferent Dempsey put up a very mediocre battle against the big boy from Chicago. He won with room to spare, it is true, but his victory lacked the snap and the color hefitting the great Dempsey, pictured as Jlie most marvelous champion the division had over pro duced. , After this fight some thought Brennan was allowed to stay for the pictures. Manager Kearns denied this. So did Dempsey. The cham pion had no interest in the pictures, if was said. Dempsey in His Prime. Accepting tin's .theory there were two other angles. Dempsey was either badly overtrained for the Brennan fight or he has started on the down path. Dempsey is just now in his prime. We do not believe that he has started to go back. We do believe that, he left the real Dempsey in the gymnasium wnen he fought Brennan. But what of the coming battles with Carpentier and Willard? The Dempsey who met Bill Bren nan might fare badly against either of these men probably would. Either of them might dethrone him. L Jack Kearns tells us that "Demp sey was simply too hncJy trained tor the Brennan fight," and assure, us that he will be himself in future. Let us hope so. No oiie,speakiiig for the great majority, would get a thrill out of a Willard victory. And no one wants to see the heavyweight title carried away to Europe by Georges Carpentier or anyone else. Dempsey is still a popular champion, and though his showing against Brennan may have been a great disappoint ment to thousands of fight fans who did not see the battle, it can be said in all honesty that he was far from himself. In his next battle he should L oc aoic 10 onset any jiuavoraoic im pression that still lingers in(the mind of the public. Should Defeat Willard. Dempsey should defeat Willard, perhaps not as easily as he did at Toledo for the big Kansan ha learned a lesson he will remember but Tack should win. And Jackan go the route. The Brennan fight, if it did nothing rise, proved this tact. Furthermore, hi: seemed to get stronger as he went along. Another very good, sign that he is not re trogressing. Carpentier, lightning fast, a dan gerous hitter and a crafty boxer, is popularly believed to have an even chance to defeat Dempsey. But' this belief is confined to Europe. uver there they wilt wager to o on the Frenchman's chances when ever he meets Dempsey. On this side of the "water sentiment favors Dempsey to win by a wide margin and within a reasonable number of rounds say five or six. Carpentier himself predicts that, whoever wins, the battle will be short. Aside from these two opponents the field of aspirants to the crown that addrns Dcmpsey's brow is sparsely populated. Billy Miskc and Bill Brennan have been eliminated. The only reason that Willard will be given another chapce is his conten tion that he underrated Dempsey and was not in condition t Toledo. Fred Fulton. is still yowping for a match. But Fulton probably wants the money more than the match. His decisive defeat at Newark left no doubt in the minds of those who saw it that he hasn't a Chinaman's chance with Dempsey. How About' Wills? Tommy Gibbons, Harry, Grcb, Harry Wills,, Bob Martin, ' Marty Burke, Gene Tunney, Ray Smith and Rob Roper are would-be heavy weight -champions. Harry Wills is rated far and above ( any of these fighters in the matter of ability, but because of his color there is no great demand that Dempsey meet him. Bare Knuckle Fighter of Days Gone by Seriously 111 Philadelphia, 'Feb. 21. Jimmy Ryan, prominent middleweight in the days of the bare knuckle fighters, is seriously ill at a hospital here. A call has been made for volunteers to submit to blood transfusion in an ef fort to save his life.

Formation, of the City, class "A" league, the oldest circuit in the city, to play under the colors of the Municipal Amateur Base Ball association, is now completed for the coming season. This announce ment was ,made Sunday, by Frank Jacobson, president of the league, following a conference with H. H. McDuff, president of the Townsend Gun Co. McDuff has de cided to put a team in the clasps A circuit. The loop will consist of the fol lowing six teams, the Townsends, Bowen Furniture Co., Riggs Opti cal Co., Drive-It-Yourself Co., Knights of Columbus and the North Omaha Boosters. Although it is understood that the Omaha Athletic club, Jay Burns Bakery and a South Side druggist are clamoring to enter the crack class A loop, President N Jacobson said that he oppoes more than a six club league. If these teams are organized and one or two more class A teams fall in line, indications point to the forming of anotier class A league. Dennison to Steer Bowens. Probably two, of the oldest heads in amateur base ball, "Johnny Den nison and "Bunny" Guy Holland, will pilot teams in the City league. Dennison has again taken hold of the Bowen crew, and Holland will take over the Gunners. An interesting scrap is asured in the league if these two "old-heads" arc connected. Holland and Denni son were teammates several years back, playing with the old Luxus team, who represented Omaha at Cleveland "tor the world's amateur title. "Bunny" was the mound artist and Johnny managed the club. Awarding contracts and drawing up "the schedule will be completed tnday night at the City league meet ing. - - A double schedule, playing both Saturday and Sunday, may be in augurated this season in the Com mercial league. It has been pointed out, that if the Saturday teams, backed by the firms they represent, play both Saturday and Sunday ball, wii the same players, it would do away - with giving a player two chances for the championship, which has been the case in former years. Abandon Semi-Pro Team Idea. The Armour plant will not have a 9emi-pro., team this season, but will enter the ranks of the amateurs and play under the supervision of the local association. An effort is being made to form a Packer's league, con sistiug of the Armours, Swifts and other leading packing plants on the South Side, to play on Saturday aft" eruoou. William Kohansky, Otto Williams of the Armour company and Atkins ,bf, Swifts are the pro moters of 41s new league, which has been endorsed by the Merchant's as sociation of the South Side. Cudahy, Mois and Dold packing plants are expected to line up in this circuit, but Cudahy's will not put a team in the league. Morris is still uncertain, while the Dold plant has entered the American league. Indiana and Illinois Jied for First Place In "Big Ten" Race Chicago, III., Feb. 21. With the close of the W'estcm conference championship basket ball race three weeks away, Indiana ana Illinois tonight are tied for first place, eath having won six out of seven games.

"It put me back on my feet after I had practic ally given up all hope of ever be ing well again," he state. "lanlac is unquestionably the greatest medicine I ever heard oi. After 1 had practically given up all hope of ever being well again, if put me right hack on my feet, and I am feeling 100 per cent better than 1 have tor 20 years. I have gamed 10 pounds in-weight, and every one says I don't look like the same per- says cr.ii "For siveral months I suffered from a serious stomach disorder. I had no appetite and couldn't cat enough to keep lip my strength. Very often when I sat down to a meal I would leave the table with out touching snything scarcely, as I could not bear the sight of food, much less eat it. "I was losing in weigh and my friends would often ask vat;. 'What is wrong with you? Why are you looking so thin?' , "I also suffered terribly with pains , across the small of my back and over my kidneys. It was almost impossible for me to get put of bed in the morning, as.my back would pain me so I would almost fall over when I would tirst stand up in the morning. At .night my back pained me 0 it was almost impossible for me to sleep. I would lie first on one side and'then on the other, and would roll and toss all night long. I had almost given up and thought maybe my age was against me, as I had taken so many different kinds of medicine without results. "The first bottle of Tanlac didn't help me much, but I made up my ' mind to give it a fair trial. After starting on the second bottle I began to feel better. My appetiteVeturned and it just looked like I could hard ly wait for meal time to come. In fact. I, was hungry all the time. "My'back and kidneys don't bother mc any more and I can sleep like a log now. Tanlac has just simply made a new man of me, and any one living in this county can tell you the same thing, as everybody knows mc and knows the shape I was in." The above statement was made re cently by A. C. Billmaii of Ligonier, Ind. Mr. Billmaii has lived in Noble county all liis life and is a well known and highly respected cizeii of that county.
