From Tomorrow, When
He Will Quit
Atlantic City, K )., June 16.After
. a four-day lay of! Jack Dempsey
resumed training today with the
prospects of continuing his grind
without further interruption until the
wind-up two weeks from tomorrow.
Dempsey's sparring partners have
taken advantage of the champion's
lay off 'jo prepare themselves for the
strenuous two weeks ahead of them.
Martin Burke, the lanky .heavy-!
weight from New Orleans, will no
longer be available as a sparring
partner because of a badly swollen
ear. Burke willidergo an opera
tiomin New York but will return to
camp as Dempsey's guest for the
balance of the training.
The threat of the New Jersey box
ing commission to name the referee
today, whether 'Kearns attended the
meeting or not, brought a sharp
reply from the champion's manager.
"The fact that the commission
names a referee does not necessarily
mean that he will referee," said
. Kearns. "In my opinion ths New
Jersey commission is overstepping
its authority when it attempts to
fasten any one candidate on Rickard,
Descamps and myself whether the
selection meets with our approval or
not.
"I know nothing about the cap
abilities of Harry Ertle, who is said
to be Hie commissioner's popular
choice and I do not care to risk the
world's championship held by Demp

Tuesday I was
going out for a long stroll and the
gateman to my training quarters was
told to let no one in because I would
be away.
My attention was called yesterday
to stories in various papers which
were sensational and a gross injus
tice. They declared that the police
of Atlantic City had closed my camp
because two men connected with the
camp had become involved in a
brawl.
False Report.
Every line was a lie. Mayor Ed
ward BaUer of this city will bear
me out in that. My camp was not
closed by police and the two men
engaged in the fight had no connec
tion whatsoever with my headquar
ters. The fighter did visit my camp
about 10 days ago and started to
create a disturbance there. I gave
orders that he be asked to leave and
thereafter be kept away.
He has never come back.' I want
it understood that I assume full re
sponsibility for any acts of sparring
partners or officials attached in my
camp. If they do any wrong the
blame can be placed upon me. But

here and get into rows my camp
is not to be blamed.
I have surrounded myself with
clean, manly fellows. I can count on
each one to conduct himself decent
ly, no matter where he is. If I find
that any man connected with my
camp isn't acting in a way that re
flects credit to himself I'll cut him
loose, no matter how good a sparrer
he may be.
A statement issued by Mayor
Bader which has to do with the
cabaret row says: i ...
Bader's Statement.
"The report that the police closed
Dempsey's camp is ridiculous and
wholly untrue. And it also is un
true to say that the men" involved in
the brawl, were part of Dempsey's
camp. The story is a weird dream
by some scandalmonger and it's
bunk from beginning to end."
Didn't do a tap of work today be
yond a brief jaunt on the road. After
breakfast I motored to Camden, N.
J., to bring back the police dog
which I sent to a veterinarian there.
Her foot had been hurt. That's the
pup who is a sister to Dr. Heming
way. Her name is Sophie Ginsberg.
The mother of these dogs is a po
lice dog, the father is a full-blooded
wolf.
Unless Jack Kearns changes his
mind before 3 o'clock Thursday aft
ernoon I'll be back at work with the
gloves that time. I'm scheduled to
get back into harness and I certainly '
will welcome it. Nothing is more
fun for me than whizzing through a
half dozen or more rounds daily
with sparring partners who can give
me a real workout. And the group
I now have promise me they'jl givf
me all I want and a little besides.

Why
Dis-
Madge Was Secretly
quieted.
For a full minute I stood silently in
Dicky's embrace, savoring to the full
the relieved ; assurance of his ap
proval of my home-buying venture.
I had not known, myself, how acute
the strain of the preceding days had
been until I had heard from his lips
his enthusiastic appreciation of the
old Dacey farmstead on which I had
taken an option. '
Then came the inevitable reaction
to the practical. With a little dis
mayed gasp I swayed back from
Dicky's arms. -"' ! "
"But what vour mother will ever
lay I don't knowl" I gave a little
shiver of apprehension as I visualized
Uivit... Cli.m', - wlin she
should hear of our new venture.
"You see, dear, things are in an ap
palling state inside the house. Two
most awful families ignorance and
dirt personified have just moved

chickens and making hooch "
"Where? When? Is there any of
it left? Lead me to it instantly!"
Dicky exclaimed flippantly, and
then, as I laughed at his nonsense, he
demanded a bit impatiently:
"Wilt you tell me why you laugh
at my foolishness, and at the same
. time take my . mother's absurdity
seriously? Does it make the slight
est difference what she says or does?
There are only two things she can
do. One is to talk her head off, and
as it is summertime, you surely can
get out-of-doors and away from her
most of the time, especially if you
have this place to look after. The
other thing it to threaten to go to
Elizabeth's or Harriet's. And that
probably would be the best thing
that could happen. She hasn't been
either'place in a long while, and by
the time she finished her visit the
place would be in readiness."
i There was a note of cheerful op
timism in Dicky's tone which I
wished from the bottom of my heart
I could share. But I knew iny au
gust mother-in-law in a way that
even he did not.
If she were not satisfied with the
hguse, if we went on .with it against
her disapproval, I would never hear
the last of her captious fault-finding
about it. Nothing ever would be
right about it from the ridegpole to
the foundation stones, and if during
the discussion she got angry enough
to go on one of her . frequently
threatened visits to her daughters,
she would return with only an inten
sified dislike for the place. -'.
' "Have You Forgotten?"
"What's the matter?" Dicky tipped
ray chin so that he looked straight
into my eyes. "Something's jangled
the jute. Come on, spill it ,
"If only mother could have found
this place herself 1" I wailed. . "But,
Dicky, have you forgotten?"" . I
named two or three historic domes
tic episodes when his mother had
disapproved pf one of our ventures.
"Have either of us heard the last of
then?"
"By jovel" Dicky slapped his
thigh emphatically, as inspiration
evidently came to him. "I've got itl
Have you told mother anything defi
nite about the place you found or
that you had planned to buy instead
of rent?"
"You heard everything that was
said," I returned.
"Do you thing the Ticers or Lil
have let anything out? I suppose
they know about it Have you
tnIA them?"
"Oh, yesl But nothing was said
te mother. She was so tired, you
know.
"Yes, and so all-fired cranky. She
certainly staged an exhibition over
- that dinner. I guess it's necessary
to get her into good humor or get
her away pronto, else our worthy
hostess wilt pitch us all into the road,
neck and crop." ..T "
A Fear.
I prudently refrained from repeat
ing to Dicky the remark I had heard
Mrs. Ticcr make to her husband
anent this very topic He might
veer suddenly to the other side, and
decide that his mother was being
persecuted.
"How would it do" Dicky spoke
slowly, as if formulating a plan
"for me to tell mother confidentially
in the morning that I've made in
quiries of some prominent men I
know out here, and that there's noth
ing at all in the country, then call
to her mind accidentally that there
are no storage facilities, and that our
goods will have to be sold at auction
and hers sent to Harriet or Eliza
beth. "We'll be walking down the
road at thetime you know she loves
a wsrtk and I'll comment in pass
ing on the beauty of this place, too
bad it's dilapidated, they don't build
such houses nowadays, etc. Ten to
one she'll begin to speculate on what
she could do with it if we only had
it; an3 the battle is won. You don't
have to close .the deal until late to
day, do you?"
"No," I said, but it took all the
courage I could muster to add: "And
I .think that's a splendid plan,
Dicky."
For, like every woman, I had had
visions of building the new home as
I wished it. But if Mother Graham,
as Dicky had said, began to specu
late upon what she would do with
it if she only had it, and could preen
herself upon finding it, I would have
about as much to say regarding the
restoration of the place as Katie
would.
Dicky turned my face to his again.
"Look here, sweetheart," he said,
"Don't you think if I can manage
mother about" purchasing the house
I can fix things so you'll have, your
way about it afterward?"
With the glamour of the moon
light and my husband's persuasive
voice pervading my senses I gave an
unqualified assent with my heart and
lips. But my common sense fearcd
the future.
