DEMPSEY HAS LIFTED
THE COLOR LINE.
(By A. N. P.)

Atlantic City, Special, June q
Jack Dempsey's manager, Jack
Kearns, last Wednesday, eradicated
color line Kearns said that if
the champion eliminates Georges
Carpenter on July 4, all barriers
will be let down. The next oppo-
nent of Dempsey after Carpenter
has been conquered will be the man
whose services can guarantee a
purse worthy of consideration by
the heavyweight champion of the
world"
Kearns made this announcement
when asked whether Kid Norfolk
had refused advances to come here
as sparring partner. Kearns said
that all reports that he had made
Especial rates" to Norfolk are un-
founded. Norfolk would be well
come, no doubt, but as far as going
to the point of guaranteeing a
meeting with the Colored heavy
weight, Kearns would make NO
promises.
If the American public demands
that he meet Kid Norfolk, or any
other Negro, and the promoter Is
found who will guarantee the sum
necessary to promote such match
he will be ready in behalf of Demp-
sey to eliminate the color line.
''He has the ambition to be pro.
nonnced the greatest heavyweight Of
all time. l believe that consider.
alton is coming to him. think
that on July he will make thai
verdict unanimous"
