the world, arrived here today TO
consult DR.. Frank Bonnie, noted ear
specialist and sport expert The Wis
1t Of Dempsey TO the specialist was
surrounded with greatest secrecy.
He dropped off of the goth Century
limited at South Bend, Ind, which
was carrying him with his manager,
Jack Kearns, to Dempsey's home
for the holidays.
Every effort was made TO cover
his movements. Kearns went on TO
Chicago. where he said Dempsey
left the train at Buffalo, New York.
Dempsey said he was going to Ben
ton Harbor, where he whir ped Billy
Miske last September TO visit
friends"
Second Consultation.
Dempsey made a secret visit to
DR.. Bonnie once before; Following
his fight with Jess Willard at To-
ledo, Dempsey visited the ear spe-
cialist and spent 10 days at his
home undergoing treatment for his
ear. Dempsey's ear was badly in
jured injured in the Toledo fight,
although no publicity was ever
given the matter.
Speculation here was that Demp-
sey's ear may have been seriously
injured again in his fight Tuesday
night with Bill Brennan in New
York Accounts of the fight said that
Dempsey's ear was bleeding. He had
hard time putting away Brennan,
who had been expected to last but n
few rounds. The champion finally
succeeded in winning bya knockout
