about May Is for New York. Dempsey
has been making considera Die money
sparring in the Northwest lately. Jack
is about as changeable as the wind on a
March day, and while he says he will
stick TO the California Club, which has
ever treated him fairly, those who know
him best aver that the hatred Dempsey
bears Lightweight Jimmy Carroll. who
is also club instructor, will make his
DempSey'S) relation with the club un-
pleasant as long as both men are retain
ed as teachers. Carroll, however, is
highly thought of as an instructor and
has turned out the clevereSt pupils on
the coast, among them being several
young men of great wealth. He
has always been on hand during his
class hours, consequently the club is
likely to keep him.

offered unless John l.. had authorized
him TO telegraph the club To that effect.
