London.-(By mail.)-lf Jack
Dempsey over worries as to the pos
sible identity of his next opponent
after Carpenter, he may eliminate
England and, for the present, Aus
tralia from his thoughts.
That, anyway, is the opinion Of
Eugene Corri, the grand-od-man OF
the manly art in Great Britain, who
believes that any Brtisher-or for
that matter almost anybody else
who faces Dempsey in the ring is to
get it--as Corri put fright on
the nose"
There is but one man in Great
Britain at present who shows real
class ,Corri thinks. That is Boy
Mccormick. And Corri likes him too
much, he says, to want to see him
battle Dempsey.
Corr is quite pessmistic regard
ing the boxing outlook here. 1t is
quite well known that he doesn't fan

not caught the public eye as a
champion should, and it seems to

There's no one over here now

make him angry" Corri told the
United Press. And | don't see any
one in sight who'll ever be good
enough to give him an argument.
It's a bad thing to confess, but it's
true. And it's shown quite clearly

Beckett is not clever. And he
would need to be cleverer and heav-

can doubt that the conferences which
are made the excuse for his humilia-

crime OF House and Bryan and Lane
and OF every man Of mind and Ameri-

failed to put Woodrow Wilson above
