DEMPSEY IS TIRED

Can't Find the '.Party

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Jack Demp.

The heavyweight champion who

from under a contract. He is on
the verge OF a nervous breakdown
and has To get away from the foot.

York friends today.
Which might indicate that another
bout for the crown of the big fell
lows is In the making.
Other evidence points that way.
Floyd Fitzsimmons. Benton Har.
Dor promoter and friend of the
champion. is going to Honduras
early In January to tell a club OF
millionaire sportsmen there how
much they will have to put out to
get the next fight. II was learned
today.
Fitzsimmons has been appointed
matchmaker of the club and has
been delegated to get Dempsey
down there in his oficisl capacity
IL 1t can be done for s1.0oo.e 200.
Fitzsimmons says he can get the
champion easy enough but his prob
lem Is to'get another heavyweight
to submit to the operation.
There isn't much of a list to pick
from. Harry Wills. the big colored
battler. is pointed out by some as
the logical selection. but 1t Is
doubtful IL any State In the United
States would sanction a mixed bout.
1t ought to 60 good though in Hon.
duras or on any foreign soil.
While the negotiations are pend.
ing, Kearns may decide to take the
long planned jaunt to Europe. Las,
winter the two Jacks were all
ready to go over and barnstorn
France and England when the
Brennan thing bodied up. and they
decided to postpone the trip.
Since the puncturing Of the Car.
pentier bubble Kearns figures that
Dempsey would 20 big in England
and the native land of the French

with the big pillows.
Prospects of a heavyweight cham
pionship 60 this winter are very
remote. Tex Richard would be will.
ing to put the champion in the
ring in Madison Square Garden, bu,
he can't ind the very essential
party of the second part
Any OF the logical contenders'
would have to be built up. and tina;
process takes time.
Rickard apparently has something
else in mind. He has announced
the award OF light-heavyweigh,
championship belt, to be decided
after an elimination tournament.
The winner of 4 series of bout.
among FIVE or six good light heavy
weights might come out populsr
enough to draw crowd with
Dempsey in the Jersey City arena
next summer.

From the viewpoint of honest
ignorance concerning the manner
in which musical comedy scores are
usually coneocted, there is some
amusement to be had in speculat-
ing as to just how a master mu-
sician such as Zimbalist, a man pre-
sumably devoted to the art In its
higher aspects, could have gone
about II to produce series Of
commonplace tunes OF the kind that
are featured as his work in
"Honeydew."
A little incredulously one pictures
him writing down to the pros
pective audience, looking for melo-
dies that will not float over too
many heads, fancying he is finding
new ones. and ending up with
score like the hundred others Of
the season, reminiscent of popular
favorites from this and that opera
Of bygone years. 1t will be noted
that three other composers had
their hands in the ''orchestrstions."
One wonders why.
At any rate, apart from an ORR
entail fantasy in the first act. the
music Of which is of a different
and delightful order. there is not
an air in "Honeydew" that does
not SAVIOR OF the common ruck. or
that does particular honor to the
name OF Zimbalist.
AS for the book. last nights au-
dience watched painfully through

situation. 1t was one that might
