WILL NOT BOX ABROAD
Manager Jack Kcarns Denies Rumor That Dempsey Will Defend Title in English Ring.

New York, Oct. 20.-Jack Dempsey. worlds heavyweight boxing champion will not make a trip to England to defend his title against aspiring riv- als. no matter what the inducement This declaration was made yesterday by Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager when tho prospect of trip to Eu- rope was submitted to him. The re- ceipt of a cableEram, containing in- formation of rumor through Eng land that the champion was contem- plating a trip across the briny in January, prompted the denial of Manager Kearns.
 The cablegram was as follows: Re ported here Dempsey is coming to England in January. Is it true?''
 Manager Kearns was a visitor to Madison Square Garden yesterday on a mission he would not disclose, but he denied emphatically that Demp- sey or himself was contemplating a

trip to England. Dempsey will not go to England in January, February March, April or May" said Kearns when the proposition was preached to him and the contents of the cable gram made known. "I haven't had any advices from England which would lead me to believe that there was foundation for such a rumor. Possibly promoters abroad are con- sidering the idea of arranging a meeting between Dempsey and Car pentier or Beckett, but there have been no definite negotiations for such a match, nor is there likely to be anything positive accomplished in the immediate future
 Dempsey is idle right now and will be until the winter sets in. have several matches in view, how ever, and expect soon to have the champion pitted against rival. As for England, however. there isn't enough money over there. to induce us to make the trip right now.''

HARVARD MAPS OUT
 PLANS FOR CENTER
Scrubs Using KentuCkianS' Plays
 Drives Regulars Hard

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 20.-That the Harvard coaches and their Vars ity football team are taking thls weeks match with Center College in all seriousness, and are preparing for it much more thoroughly than for the ordinary run of middle season games, was clearly demonstrated by yester- days practice session in the stadium Monday night the coaches put togeth- CT all their data on the Danville team as provided by old Harvard players who saw the Kentuckians play West Virginia last year and both of their games played this season. plan of offensive and defensive campaign was mapped out for Saturday.
 Yesterday Havemeye-. the centre, and Tom Woods, the veteran guard, were withheld from the lineup simply for a much needed rest, but the re- mainder of the Varsity scrimmaged three-quarters of an hour against the second team and came off the field after as hard a session as was held during last weeks drive.
 The scrubs, using Center College plays, made a few good gains, but only early in the scrimmage. while the Varsity, suiting its offensive action against Center's several varieties of secondary defense. made things hum and ripped off two touchdowns, one by steady plugging and the other on a forty-yard run through the line by Owen. Later the substitutes worked against the scrubs, but did no scoring by rushing.
 Buell. and Fitzgerald had a long ses- sion of drop kicking behind scrim- mage, and both did uniformly accur- ate shooting from the vicinity of the thirty-yard line. Evidently Harvard is polishing it's approach game. which has been very consistent all year.
 Fitzgerald doubtless will start Sat urday, but Captain Horween is still on the side lines and the chances for his playing against Center are slight. Leo Leary. former field. coach, was on the field again. Harvard is confident that it can beat Center. but is making a lot of the game, which is expected to attract more than 35.000 people to the stadium.

The Lull in Bonds

The present hull in the bond market
is not taken seriously in investment
circles. Even the fact that bond prices
have saggcd off somewhat of late is
causing no great concern among the
experts. They say by way OF cxplana-
tion that the bond market had to take
lot of new stuff for a while and i
was only natural that il should quiet
down temporarily, particularly when
the stock and commodity markets have
been suffering 80 severely. The trend
Of the bond market is upward" OBJ
served one of the experts yesterday.
"and this current hesitation is nothing
to worry about. You always get these
lulls even in the best Of markets. l.
is an interesting sidcight upon the ap-
petite of the investment public that
the old outstanding bond issues Of low
coupon rates are not in great demand.
The public it seems. is keen for the
high coupon stuff Of fairly long ma
turity.
