Visits Paris Races

PARIS, April 24.-By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Jack Dempsey's visit
to Longchamps race track today
was marked by the enthusiastic mob
bling he received from admirers
struggling to catch a glimpse of him.
The police had to come to his as
sistance in passing out through the
gates. When the immense con-
course caught sight of him they
gave him a resounding cheer, and
Dempsey responded by doffing his
hat.
When urged to bet on horses with
American mounts, the fighter said:
mo, [ never bet. I came only to
see the horses and the crowds and
shake hands with the American
jockeys.
THE French certainly have fine
race tracks, bigger and more at
tractive than ours, but 1 don't think
they have the horses"
After the races Jack returned to
his hotel on the Champs Elysees
where he had almost to fight his way
through another crowd.
