Jack Dempsey On Way To N. Y.

Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham pion. is reported today to be en route from Los Angeles to New York.
 He is accompanied by his trainer, Teddy Hayes, who will be one of the Dempsey party of four sailing on the Aquitania April Il for England. The others will be Jack Kearns, man ager of the champion, and Joe Ben jamin, the Stockton lightweight
 Kearns has booked the champion for quit a number of appearances in Europe. He will give exhibitions in England, France, Germany, Norway and probably Ireland. They will sure ly visit Ireland. as Dempsey wants to hunt up his fathers people there.
 It is evident that Dempsey expects to pick up his sparring partners abroad. It is said one of his first ex- hibitOns will be in London with Bombardier Wells. So far no ar engagements have been made toward matching the champion in a real con- test, but there seems to be an opin- ion in fistic circles that he may hook up with some one.
 Benjamin is going across to seek an engagement with Ernest Rice, the English lightweight champion. Joe says he will box Ted (Eld) Lewis if Lewis can get down to the weight at which he claims the English well terweight title, but it is doubtful it Ted can do this.
