WE hold no briefs for the othe.
W impose conditions that hold
them aloof from worthy opponents.
but in our humble opinion Dempsey
is one man who has absolutely no
fear Of any fighter. Neither his
public statements nor those Of his
manager sway us. Our opinion Is
founded on close personal observa-
ton and study Of Dempsey's fight.
ing qualities and his mental atti-
tude.
Naturally, he listens to the ad-
vice Of a manager who has steered
him to fame and fortune. He has
passed the stage where he must
demonstrate his superiority by
meeting all corners. The old cham
pions did that, but in these palmy
days of the ring the money is
garnered in big Jumps. Dempsey
isn't afraid to fight anybody. but,
as he says, there is no great urge
for him to beat down a black rival.
We were discussing this with
him at Atlantic City one day last
summer when he was training for
Carpenter.
Personally" said Jack. 81 have
no objection to fighting colored
men. but l am aware of the serious
complications that might develop
from such a match. The Johnson
Jeffries fight set professional box
ing back ten years. II stirred up
bitter racial feeling that reached
up to Congress and resulted in a
law prohibiting interstate commerce
in fight pictures.
"Of course, should not be Of
fered up as white hope sacrifice,
as Jeffries was. but whether I won
or lost the old feeling would come
to the surface again, and in these
unsettled times 1t might be attended
with serious results. Then again
there are few places where white
man and negro can meet In q
heavyweight championship match.
It would be sure to become a shin
ing target for the reformers."

FIND BASKETBALL STAR
WITH PENN STATE SQUAD

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Jan. 2S.--
Penn State uncovered q now fresh.
man basketball star last week in the
person of Gerhardt, lanky center
who halls from waynesboro and who
promises to be a welcome addition
to the varsity squad next year. In
the game with Altoona High School,
Gerhardt netted nine two-pointers,
in addition to getting the tip-off on
every jump, and he made over half
of the points scored by the yearlings.
Coach Killinger's first-year quin
tet looks like the best yearling COM
bination to represent Penn State In
years and Varsity Coach Dutch Her
mann has been casting envious eyes
at some of Killie's proteges.

No Demand for MIXED
Bouts. g.

DEMPSEY and Kearns, in our
opinion, are correct In assum.
ing that there is no public
demand for bout between Demp.
sey and Wills or Dempsey and
Jack johnson. The demand-such
as It isis created by the colored
fighters. their press agents and
promoters who would stage the
bouts. .- .a..... .
Boxing is now legalized in many
States, but we venture TO say that
many Of these State laws would be
repealed II Dempsey were matched
with a colored man and the re-
formers turned loose on them.
Certainly such a fight could not
take place in New York. We do
not believe the New Jersey OF
Massachusetts authorities would
even consider Il.
The ring would have to be pitched
In some Western State and the gate
receipts would not be as tempting
to Dempsey as the amount he could
command for training a month or
so and fighting the best white op-
ponent available. The losers end
would doubtless satisfy Wills OF

tises and trade with him. am glad
that this is so because the news
papers need the advertisements #
they are to do their full duty to
the public,-that is, if they are to

and also the other things that tend
to help the adult education, which
is one of the most necessary things
in the success of q democracy like
Gus. 1t is essential that our people
shall be educated on international
questions and national legislation
if we are to get back to full en-

ever newspapers are the schools
for such adult education for there
are few of US who read much Of

through our newspapers. 1t pays to
advertise literally both from the
standpoint of a business man and
from the standpoint Of citizenship

exception of the national advertise
ments, the best general source OF
advertising in Vermont Is the To-
cal stores. Will you pardon me if |
say that | think it is the business
of you newspapers publishers to
help these Vermont advertisers to
succeed. This means to prepare
now for the coming changes. one
of the most important of these
coming changes is the competition
of chain stores. These chain stores
have certain amount Of adVan-
tage in being able to buy in great
er quantities than the isolated To-
cal store, but they are at diSad-
vantage in not having the personal
touch that the local store owner
has with his customers. If you
newspaper publishers will help the
Vermont storekeepcrs to see the
Importance of getting together ana
forming chain store organizations
of their own, think you will
greatly assist thcm-Which also
means, of course, greatly incrcas-
ing their capacity as advertisers.
BY this | mean il each of the Yer
mont stores and grocery stores IN
one town associated itself in a
chain organization with the shoe
and grocery stores in all the other
cities and towns of Vermont, they
would then be able to meet and
beat a very formidable form Of
competition that growing up, not
to speak of the competition Of
great stores like our own.

classes that the Vermont papers
can help. Vermont as part Of
