Kearns explained this. however. by saying that he had cautioned Dempsey to work lightly.
 Dempsey boxed the first two rounds with Eddie Hare and the third with Herman Miller. a Baltimore lsJ pounder, who worked with him before he won the title.

LONDON PRESS APPROVES LLOYD GEORGE MOVE

London, June 26.--While there Sis some harsh comment by the irrecon- ciliables, the majority of the London morning papers warmly approve the prime minister g invitation to MT. de y9lera and Sir James Cralg, which they regard as logical sequel to the Kings generous appeal. Opinions were the outcome hover between hope and fear.
 The London Times declares that the hour of peace has struck for Ireland" It says of the prcmiers 5 letter to MT. deValera: Tt breathes 6 spirit of conciliation which too often has been absent in the dealings of the government with ireland. l. lays down no conditions to which amy Irishman could reasonably tai e exception. Tn manner. as well as in substance, it is in accordance with the Kings speech If its tone gov- erns .he negotiations which we ea.- nestly hope will follow the dawn of a new understanding may be at hand a dawn in whose light reconciliation and peace may be achieved.
 The Daily Telegraph says that the most fervid advocates of reconcilia- ton canlot complain of anything in the tone of thes premier's letter to Mir. devalera which would indicate either lack of sincerity or serve as; an excuse for non-acceptance
 Its chief value.' continues the ps- per. Ties in the proof 1t gives ot the genuiness of the British proIes- sions. which have been unjustly chal- lenged and doubted. It rests with the Sim Fein to come into the open and meet the representatives of the government and the northern Par liament and show in it's turn the sin ' cerity of its desire to live in peace with Great Britain.
