 New York, April Slack Dempsey sails away across the pond to Europe on Tuesday next, and the stack of passports Jack Kearns collected looks like & pinochle deck. If he goes to all the countries the passports call for he will see lot of the world pe- fore he gets back.
 What he will do on the other side or what will happen to him not even Myers, the Hoboken astrologer, has dared try to forecast. Jack says ne wants to fight and if he gets chance he sure will. In the meantime, 1t IS sure that he will be drawing card in the music halls, of England and France and maybe Germany, where they are willing to give up good money to lamp the man that licked the Frenchman.
 Looking ahead to his trip from q fighting angle and, naturally. the only angle to look from in the ease of a man like Dempsey, is one that relates to his particular speciality it might be interesting to dope out the array of talent that could be opposed to him on the other side. It's hard to do it. without laughing. but maybe we can hold in long enough to pre- sent the list. Let's go.
 List of Possibilities
 1. Joe Beckett, heavyweight cham pion of England. fatheaded stiff lasses. and with a jaw that differs from a window pane only because you can't see through 1t.
 2. Bombardier Wells, ex-champion A real clever guy who could put up an interesting short round with Dempsey if Jack happened to be in goo dhumor. Brittle jaw. Oh. so brittle.
 8. Dick Smith. A second rater even as England rates. them.
 (. Albert Lloyd, a stylist boxer. what we used to call here, looking glass fighter. Nothing to him.
 B.. Boy Mccormick. Light and. anyway. beaten by Joe Beckett
 G. Guardsman Penwiu. heavy who has recently left the army and has made a good showing against some of the minor 1heavies
 z. Bandsman Riee-Let him go back to the band. He is better with the saxophone than the gloves.
 s. George Cook, Australian. Beat en by carpentier and not rated as high as Beckett.
 g. Ted Lewis Preparing to fight Carpenter May II. If he gets by that. fight. which he won't-there would be insane talk of his meeting Dempsey.
 10. Carpenter of France. It's on the cards that Dempsey will meet Georges again. It's joke, but not such. a terrible joke.
 II. Marcel Miles. French heavy weight. said to be developing to q fNa l> him,
 Not much of an outlook for Demp- sey from the fistic standpoint, is it? The interesting angle is what he may have to face by the time he returns to this country. With the fighting game as lucrative and poular as it it today, It would be strange if young fighters were not springing up. And they are. When Dempsey next sees the statue of Liberty. there are few youngsters who may be ready to make him a hard bid for his title
 Harry Foley or Seattle and Hot Springs. Ark, a rugged. hard hitting young giant who simply knocks op- ponents out of the ring. His last victim was the clever Charley Wien ert. Foley, above all will bear watch ing.
 Elziar Rious, of the Canadian no, ,h woods, lumber cutting giant who has been drapyed into >6vilizatfon to be groomed for fighting. He makes the ordisary man look like a pigmy.
 Gene Tunney. light heavy champion of America. Regarded as coming all. the time.
 Luiz Firpo, South American fighter. victor over Sailor Maxted and Joe McCann.
 Out of this list, the chances of picking the next heavyweight cham pion of the warld saann snia all
