CHAMP TO MAKE
BARREL OF COIN
IN STAGE WORK
Dempsey and Manager Kearns
Agree to Accept S225,OOO for
Fifteen Weeks Acting.

Chicago, July 30.-A little more
than two years ago it was said that
Jack Dempsey would battle for the
worlds heavyweight championship
and had a mighty swell chance to
cop the title from Jess Willard. He
did that in three rounds at Toledo,
on July 4, thereby making good the
prediction.
One week ago it was predicted
that Dempsey would make greater
profit out of the title than any
champion since glove fighting start
ed Tomorrow Dempsey and his
manager, Jack Kearns, will meet at
a local hotel to sign a contract for
10 weeks work on the stage, for
which the champion is to draw
down the startling sum of 1926, 900.
Doesn't that look as if this second
prediction was as right" as the
first?
Sidestepping Wealth.
To pick off that kind of coin
$4,000 a week for a total of 10
weeks-is surely getting rich in a
hurry. but, Judging by the offers
that came to Dempsey yesterday,
he's liable to have more trouble
money than getting it
Motion picture men, vaudeville
and circus impressarios
logged the champions footsteps
yesterday from morning until night.
They kept at it until informed that
terms had been practically accept
ed by Dempsey for this $225,00O
lob, then they let up, and probably
will wait until Champion Jack full
fills that contract before hopping
after him again.
The men who have lined up
Dempsey for the contract signing
are Linnick and Jacoby, and with
them is associated Larney Lichten-
stein, who is a manager of scrap
pers, sometimes wreStlers. The
plan is to put a new show on the
boards. This show will be built
around Dempsey, who, Of course,
will be the star. 1t is the plan to
start either from Chicago or st.
Louis, and the date of the opening
will be Aug. IS. Most of the big
cities of the country will be visited
on the tour of Is weeks.
Can't Shake the Film Men.
There won't be any brass band
when the contract is signed by the
and Dempsey and his
today, but movie guys will
be on the job to snap pictures OF
The doings, which are scheduled for
o'clock.
Dempsey has decided not to have
he operation on his nose perform
ID in Chicago. After he cleans up
he contract signing job tomorrow
ne intends to leave for Philadel-
ohia for a couple of days, and
while there a Quaker City medic
will fix him up. It's just minor
operation, but the M. D. Jack knows
n Philly is a great friend of the
champion, and that's the reason he
wants to have it done there.

RRITT0N RETATNS TITLE.

New York, July 3O.-Jack Br1C-
ton and Ted kid Lewis met for
the twentieth time Monday at the
Armory A. A. in Jersey City and
Britton earned the decision in
eight rounds. Lewis did not come
even close to winning back the
welterweight title, which he lost to
Britton at their last meeting.
The bout was a rather tame az
fair. Britton doing most OF the
leading with a fast jab and putting
over a snappy right cross now and
then. He had Lewis backing up for
the greater part of the fight The
only round that seemed to bring
about anything like action was the
eighth and last For a second or
two the men stood in the center of
the ring and slugged.

YANKS BATTER
SOX TO DEFEAT
BY SCORE, 1911
Gleason Tribe in Crippled COndi-
tiOn Puts Forth Pitiful Efforts
IN Field and at Bat.

New York, July 30.-With a
number of their stars on the cas-
ua1ty list, Chicago's White Sox
crumpled up and fell before the
terrific attack of the Yankees yes
terday in the first combat Of the
eastern invasion. Until some legs
and feet and stomachs belonging
to the Chicago invaders are restor-
ed to normal condition they are
likely to crumple up and fall many
times The score of the contest
was 10 to /, even with Eddie Ci-
cote on the slab.
New York made about half of its
runs because of the lame legs that
were in service for Chicago. They
secured two TALES right in the
first inning for no other reason
than because Joe Jackson could not
hobble fast enough to catch pop
fly, and because Hap Felsch could
not limp over a bit to his Aeft in
time to pick up a drive over sec
ond base. Their efforts were pit
iful.
Not Enough to Go Round.
In the next inning. after Felsch
had delivered a single. Boss Glea-
son removed him and let Liebold
take his place. He did not have
men enough, however, to fill in
for all the wounded ones.
Getting away to a flying start,
the Yanks perked up under the
praise of the big home crowd and
simply mauled and mutilated the
Sox beyond recognition. After the
ninth round, they had eight runs
and Gleason removed Cicotte and
Schalk, the latter also hobbling
painfully with a bad leg.
Dave Danforth went to the slab
and Byrd Lynn, also among the
lame ones, went behind the bat
and in some way or other the bat
tered up crew went through the
nine innings. The crowd was sat
isfied because the home team won,
and that's all a New York fan
wants. If the Yanks beat a gram
mar school team, New York is sat-
isfied. Score:

BRAYES AND REDS sPLTT.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 30.-Bos-

a double header yesterday. The
Reds won the first game. 3 to 2,
Ring pitching great ball until the
ninth. when Boston came within
one run of tying the score. The
Braves won, 6 to 4, in the second.
Eller was hit freely and received
poor support. Nehf also was hit
hard and was relieved by Rudolph
in the eighth inning.

Arena to Seat 10000.

East Chicago, III, is to have a
big boxing arena to seat 10000
spectators. The city council of this
enterprising city recently voted in
favor of permitting 10 round no
decision bouts. A commissioner
was named to supervise the sport.
This town is alive to the present
situation and is not passing a bet
to put Itself in the limelight. Be-
ing close to Chicago where boxing
is not permitted the promoters are
figuring on realizing handsomely
in their ventures.
Work will be begun at once on
the new arena so as to be ready
when the season gets under full
swing in the fall.

Also there is more school spirit and
