The big fellows have worked
hard and faithfully for the contest

tho victor to be considered a worthy
opponent for the topnotchers in the
heavyweight division.
According to followers of wrest.
ling there is vast similarity be-
tween the style employed by Pies.
tina and that used by the late
Frank Gotch. This similarity Is
due to the fact that both were
tutored by Farmer Burns, who
handled Gotch In every bout of note
and coached Plestina for -
months.
Three years have passed since
Plestina left Farmer Burns tute-
lage. Since then he has added tc

.KEARNS CLAIMS
TO HAVE OFFER
OF 100000
1t Looks Like II He Was Offered
Million He Would Want
1t Doubled.

Los Angeles, Cal. Jan. 6.--Jack
kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey
heavyweight champion of the
world, announced he had accepted
an offer Of a 100000 purse from
James w. Coffroth for Is round
fight between Dempsey and
Georges Carpenter at Tia Juana,
Lower California.
"It's up to Coffroth now to sign
up Carpenter" said kearns, land
l understand he has a representa-
tive, Charles Harvey, in Europe
now trying to do just that
Split Pure Three and One.
This is the most satisfactory
offer W have had. We are willing
TO accept it on winner or loser
basis, perhaps 100000 for the win
ner and 100000 for the loser.
Those details will be worked out
later.
"Coffroth may not want the mo-
ton picture rights. bu. whether he
does or not, we will want a per-
centage of them and all other priv
ileges."
Kearns and Coffroth had been in
Los Angeles for several days talk
ing the matter over with him.
Coffroth is president OF the Low
er California Jockey club at Tia
Juana.

CHICAGO BATTLER never IN
BETTER CONDITION, WRITES
BROTHER JACK, HIS MANAGER
CoMisksy Admitted TO be Tesgh
Customer, But Believes Denny
VIII DO Winner.

Denny O'Keefe, opponent Of
Tommy Comiskey in the ring at the
Expire Thursday night, is in good
col dition right now for a hard 10
round battle.
That Ii, we have the word of
Manager Jack O'Keefe for II. He
explains that Denny Is a minute
man on that stuff, being good
clean living youth and fond Of
dancing. The latter helps to keep
his legs In good shape, is explained.
It Is an aid to the footwork. Mod
err dancing requires . knowledge
Of how to use the feet, volunteers
Brother Jack.
Denny has been working out in
preparation for his mill with Co.
miskey with such men as Bill
Henry, Johnny Brady and with
Brother Jack.
Comiskey is admitted to be
tough battler by the O'keefe duo
and Denny is not going to take any
chances with him. Jack expects
this 60 to put Denny in tip-top
shape for his coming battle with
Eddie Fitzsimmons which is sched-
uled for Jan. Is at Racine.
Fitzsimmons is the boy that has
been sidetracked by many Of them
In the past few months. But
O'Keefe appears to be one not
afraid Of any Of 'em no matter how
tough.
Denny IS fighting Comiskey at
catchweights Thursday night. but
has agreed to make 142 pounds for
Fitzsimmons. This makes him a
simon pure middleweight, be says.
e Argue Over Referee.
There appears to be a hitch in
the agreement az to the referee Of
Thursdays go. The O'Keefe camp
wants Ed Smith. Chicago sporting
writer, while Comiskey is asking TO
bring along Curly Ulrich.
Altogether II looks like the fans
are in for some treat in the way OF
milling when these two fast welt
ers face each other at. the gong.
O'Keefe is being praised by the Chi
cago papers for his late showings
and the fact that he ia the only
one willing to meet Eddie Fitzsim-
mons. This means much in his
favor.
Comiskey Is known to be hard
customer. Up around the twin
cities he has acquired considerable
OF a rep as q slugger and has put
many men to sleep with his hay
maker.
