Dempsey, Busy With the Circus,
Wants to Tackle All the
Eligible HeaVweightS.

~
w Kearns, manager OF Jack
Dempsey. And it's the old
stun. Kearns wants TO line up Demp-
soy with knockout" Brennan. Willie
Meehan and Battling Levinsky. All
the promoters have TO do Is to offer
the proper inducement and they can
have Dempsey as soon AZ they want.
Jack is surely anxious 90 get back
into harness and do some flghtlng.
Kearns says he's still waiting for
something new on that English prop
csition.
II haven't heard anything from
England" says Kearns, and II
looks as N / will have TO wait
until Beckett or Carpenter eliminates
one or the other. As soon as I hear
something will rush you a wire"
Kearns and Dempsey are with ihe
6ells-Floto Circus, touring the South
west. Just now they are in the wilds
OF Texas and rain has been falling for
two weeks there. But" AZ Kearns
says. with all the bad conditions and
everything, we are playing to ca
pacity. Dempsey boxes twice daily
with the show with Bill Tate and a
few other big husky sparring part
ners. The champion Is in splendid
condition and IL would take only
about ten days notice TO round him
into good shape TO battle anybody"

Racing was discontinued, according
70 Conroth. at Tijuana three seasons
back on account OF the proneness Of
MexlcAns for pro-GermAn activity.

Mr.. Cofrroth has succeeded In
securing a radical modification OF
these war restrictions and there is an

The latter part OF Morgan's col

Dempsey met Levlnsky in Phllad
