Dempsey Ernerges From Workouts
 Fresh As Daisy

BY JAMES J. CORBETT, Former Heavyweight Champion of the World (Copyright 1921 by the Int. News
 Service.)
 Atlantic City, N. J., May 1s-Jack Dempsey will commence boxing in public in a few days.
 The outdoor ring and bleachers at Airport are almost complete and Manager Kearns says if the carpen- ters finish their work the champion will make his first public appearance Saturday.
 Dempsey is ready to begin serious training. He is going to do lot of boxing throughout the month of June and has already started it, more than week ahead of his original schedule.
 The champion is hard as nails and rough as granite. His wind is great and he is feeling like a colt. l can say this after spending Tuesday at his camp where he did some special work for my benefit
 Dempsey Has Steam.
 My, what rough young man Dempsey is He expended enough energy to win several heavyweight championships in nine rounds of box ing with the three sparrinS partners First he worked with Jack Renault, a big, rough heavyweight from Can ada. The two Jacks went three rounds and as wind up Dempsey sent Renault to the floor with a blow to the head.
 Leo HOuck was next in order and Leo gave the champion lot of good exercise. HOuck is a very capable battler and can take it but he was thankful thar the champion had on the big gloves. As a wind up to his boxing Dempsey squared away with Tram bitas, a welter weight from the Pacific coast. This lad put on a head gear to protect his ears and his chin -Ior oTnio S5 a nd Dempsey figured to get some good eX- erciSe against him. In the third round he put Trambilas out of com mission. He brought one up from his knees, caugh'o his Sparring partner squarely under the chin and lifted him clear out of the ring. Trambitas

When a boxer in training for a scrap starts "crabbins'' it's a sign he is ready to jump into the ring and beat up his opponent. Louis Bosash, who is by nature a smooth sailing chan, put on his first crabbInS act yesterday since he began training for his battle next Monday night with Soldier Bartfield. Bogash felt the strain of the hurricane program he went through at the dictatlon Of Man ager Joe Smith and was in no JoV1aI frame of mind when he was ready for his rub-down. -"Looey' displayed sign of peevishness about the torrid conditions and the high temperature and was inclined to find fault and snarl around like a dog itching for a scrap. He became so ferocious that brother Patsy stopped his kidding" and vanished.
 .'Looey's'' temperamental explosion also got Manager Joe's nanny" and both indulged in rednot oratorical bout which ended in 'Looey' taking orders and subsiding. After nor malcy had been restored Joe Smith romped around the room whispering to his friends is what I've been looking for for the last three days When Looey starts to crab, you can bet he's ready to fight. l think he will lick Bartfield before six rounds" ~
 Knockout Expected.
 Local ring sports who are going to put their kale on Bogash to trim Bart field are imbued with the feeling that Bogash will register a knockout. the kayo stunt coming before the tenth round or thereaboutS.
 Tad" Jordan, one of the leading apostles in local pugdom and an en- thusiastic admirer of Bogash as a fighter and who has seen all of the topnotchers perform, said yesterday he expected to see the Bridgeport battler win in seven or eight rounds. "I anticipate a quick win,' he said. 'I never saw Bogash in the splendid

Los Angeles. Cal, May 1S--If any Eastern track men want to race against Charles Paddock, University of Southern California, sprinter, and claimant of several world records, he will meet them at the National A. A. U. meet in Pasadena, in July, he said in a statement made public here to- day. Paddock said that because of an illness. which has kept him at home for three weeks, and because he must devote his time to his school work for the remainder of the col lege year, he could not go East to take part in the meets there. How ever. he said, he is anxious to meet Eastern men at the Pasadena track meet, in which he will participate.

shape he is today. Whats more, my opinion is if Bogash hands Bart1eld a decisive whipping l predict that Jack Britton will attempt to crawl out Of the impending match which is book ed for next month. I think win over BartfieId will really displace Britton as champion, as l know as well as New Y Ork ring experts, that Britton is not hankerfng for another go with Bogash after last summer s bout when Bogash showed him up.'
 Madden Sets Hot Pace.
 BoEash uncorked a lot of pep ana steam in his set-to with husky Tommy Barry. the Brooklyn middle weight, yesterday at the Acorn A. c. Barry is a heavy guy and is equipped with an assortment of clever wauops which he dislayed in the bout. Bo- gash should reach the pinnacle of form with another few days or roughing it with Barry.
 The Acorn clUbrooms were crowded with fight fans, indicating that local interest is running high in the Bo- gash -Bartfield bout. There was plenty of lively doings. Patsy Bogash was seen in action in preparation for his return bout with Mickey Dance Of Waterbury; Joe Hall put on the mitts with Young Ahern and Jim Bones (Kid Lewis). who is to meet Harvey Kelly Monday night, and Bones showed some real stuff in the work out while his manager, George Dwyer, was scattering smiles over the ringside. Bud Weafer, the Norfalk battIer, also went through a stiff ses- sion for his third argument with Steady Steadman.
 Pete Dunn of the Crasho A. C., who is to meet Frankie Brennan Of the Walnut A C.. is working out hard at the Armory A. A. daily with Billy Prince and C. Atherton.- Dunn is confident of getting the long end of the verdict and if the fash form he displayed yesterday can be taken as a criterion Brennan has a hard job facing him.

 Yale Star, In Movies

Football followers of few years back, in the days of Pum- peiIey and Nate Wheeler, will remember the famous Lefty Flynn, who was star at Yale until one fall day when Sprack- ling of Brown tackled him so hard that he fell with his head towards his own goal posts.
 A week later he ''Starred' in the Princeton game until he signaIed for a fair catch and let the ball hit him on his forehead.
 This ended his football career. so he ran with a hack drivers daughter, got married and went to work. He is in the movies now. and fumbles the part of a police sergeant at the Plaza in Stop Thief.''

Who will be the first one?" asks
Kinston Free Press.
That is the way to go through
the motions of doing it. The way
to do it would be far different
There should be no attempt
made to sell bonds to the people
in small denominations TO be
used in the various construction
enterprises" The bonds could
only be sold on what may be call
ed sentimental basis, and senti-
ment cannot be based on "vari-
Gus enterprises"

Pile of the state could not be in
duced to buy all the bonds
that the state expects to
issue within the next few years,
but with a broadly andlenergetic-
ally prosecuted campaign for the
disposal of road bonds in small
denominations, enough could be
disposed of to aid the whole pro-
gram by decreasing substantially
the sums the state would seek in
outside markets.

and people are welcome to buy
means less than nothing, to the
average citizen. Whereas if the
average citizen saw that the
authorities at Raleigh, the bank

fort to sell a large amount Of
bonds in that way, he would be
convinced that they would be
willing to help. He would feel

The bonds are now ready for

curities of this denomination will
prove popular with small inves-
