Nothing will stop me from spreading
them broadcast. Not even though Jack
Dempsey or Jack Kearns hires some
one to come up here to attack me
will I be stopped. There is one other
person who knows where these let
ters are, and should anything happen
to me that person will see that they
are given publicity"
Jack Kearns ain Bad
Whether or not Mrs. Dempsey is
justified for her alleged attack upon
the worlds champion remains to be
seen, but it is also a fact that. had
it not been for the fact that Jack
Kearns, Dempsey's sweet-scented
manager, is decidedly sin bad" with
newspapermen everywhere, the ini-
tial momentum might never have
been obtained.
1t is being whispered that only the
more or less justihable unpopularity
of Jess willard and his methods at
Toledo Bept the swarm of boxing
writer's of Kearns' back, for Demp-
sey's manager was more of a high
and mighty circus manager than any
thing else. However, Willard proved
such a sorry champion while training
at Toledo that Kearns looked rather
good in comparison.
The moment the towel appeared on
July 4. Kearns began his tactics.
which have well-nigh alienated about
every writing friend Dempsey had
prior to his victory over willard.
Some of the smoke now seen on the
horizon may be the result OF this
situation.
Meanwhile the campaign OF the
American Legion goes merriIy on.
Here and there posts are bawling out
the worlds champion, ridiculing his
lighting" claims and his alibis which
have been put out so glibly by Jack
Kearns and generally adding to the
SNOWFALL which may shortly make It
impossible for Dempsey to make a
living in the ring in this country.
And back of IL all there Is Mrs.
Maxine Dempsey, the -scorned wom-
an" who would drag Dempsey back
to the gutter where he started.

Bob Martin Is Outpointed in a Ten
Round Contest Before Cieve-

CLEVELAND. Jan. 27.-Bob Mar
tin. A. L. F.. and intersllied heavy
weight champion, is far from being
ready to meet the more experienced
men of his class. He met Sergt. Ray
Smith, of Camden. n. j., at the Grays
Armory last night and was out
pointed.
when the bout ended Martin was
bleeding from cuts beneath both eyes,
his nose and mouth. Smith had his
right eye closed. but otherwise was
in good condition.
The sergeant was too experienced,
too shifty, too fast for the champion.
and evinced a willingness to stand
toe to toe with Martin. On none OF
these occasions. however, did Martin
hurt the sergeant.
Smith scored a knockdown in the
first round, and Martin put over the
same trick in the third session.
Smith won five rounds, Martin three
and two were even.
