Benton Harbor, Mich. Sept q
When Jack Dempsey defends his
title here on Labor day against
Billy Miske there will be blond
haired young girl at the ringside
pulling for him to win.
She is Miss Lola Wallin, IT.
year-old high school girl Of Rock
ford, Ill.
Lola CAME 10 Benton Harbor to
see the champion fight. She
thought that tickets to q champion
ship match wouldn't cost-any more
than Just going to movie.
When she found cut that fight
tickets were selling-at from $3.50 to
$50 each she nearly bad heart fail
ure. Did she 60 back home? She
did not.
Lola went to work at an ice
cream parlor in order to make up
the deficit between what she had
imagined a fight ticket cost and
the grim reality.
One night Dempsey and Promoter

Floyd Fitzsimmons wandered into
the place to cool of a bit and for
get about fighting and the business
that goes along with it.
The girl recognized Dempsey
from the pictures she had seen of
him. She set two heaped-up dishes
of cream before the champion and
the promoter. That made a big
hit with the worlds champion.
How'd you like to see me fight"
asked Jack.
Then she told her story
That also made hit with Jack.
He not only gave her a $50 ticket
to the fight. but told. her to quit
work and enjoy herself while she
is In Benton Harbor.
In the minds of most people Jack
Dempsey is just big burly fellow
who can punch harder than any
other living man.
Only close friends of the worlds
heavyweight champion know. per-
haps, that he also has big heart
and never misses an opportunity to
do a kind act.

Indians find the Cincinnati Reds at
the pinnacle of the National league.
The Reds are the more firmly
established, possessing a two-game
lead over their nearest competitors,
while the Indians are a half game
only to. the better of the White Sox.
The New York Yanks held third
place in the American league, a

Only Yanks Today.
Any break in the luck today
