Kearns Must Have Third Hun
dred Thousand on
July 2.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, June rs.
"A pair of weighty questions op-
press the minds of men in Great
Falls and Shelby these days They
i. Can that final 500, 900 be raised
for Jack Dempsey by July Q?
2. If it isn't raised will Jack
Kearns refuse to send the cham
pion into the ring July 4?
At this hour, the receipts are a
million miles or so from justifytng
the hope that they can meet the
final payment which the contract
provides for the champion. In all
figures so far given out, the cash
intake to date has not hit the
100000 mark. And this total must
reach $500, 900 before the receipts
can pay the Dempsey end.
Those who are promoting the
fight-and those who are merely
assisting through State pride In the
effort to put it over--now are
verbally laboring with officials Of
the Great Northern Railway. They
are trying to get the railroad to
loan that final $4,000 and, failing
in that, win make an appeal to
some multimillionaire officials Of
the company to make the loan out
Of their own pockets.
So far, the efforts have not been
successful. Not later than Thurs
day definite answer is expected.
The fate Of the bout, therefore, will
hang in the balance until that time.
The answer to the second ques-
ton is rather emphatically supplied
by Kearns, TO wit:
IF they don't produce that third
800, 900 by July 2, Dempsey will
not go into the ring"

The alarming paucity Of British
heavyweights was never better
illustrated than in the recent fight
between Joe Beckett and Dick
Smith. Those who would enjoy
seeing a bout between Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge and Benny
Leonard might have obtained some
pleasure from watching the Beck
ett.Smith encounter.
Those who appreciate a fistic
struggle between two well-matche ed
gladiators could not have viewed
the bout with anything but pity
or disgust.
First there was the ancient Smith
who is something more than forty
years old. Dick is a grand old
man. He knows how to box. He
has a beautiful left hand, and he
can cross or uppercut with his
right in most workmanlike fashion.
| But he is as shy OF a punch as
a rhinoceros ID of feathers. And
the necessary stamina said good
by to Dick just about a decade
ago.
In the second place there was

still and let him, but shooting ut
shifty target like Dempsey,
Beckett would not land two socks
in forty rounds.
For fifteen rounds the ancient
Smith boxed rings around Beckett
Most of the time Smith was pepper

jabs.

Therefore by the seventeenth Dick
had fought himself into state CT
exhaustion, and all Beckett had to
do was back him into a corner and
push him over.
AS Smith passed through the
crowd-a crowd that cheered him
heartily-to his dressing room az
ter the fight his face was worn and
drawn.
The sadness Of the commentary
is that IT took the youthful Beckett,
who is the heavyweight champion
OF England, seventeen long rounds
to win a bout from a man who saw
his best boxing days along about
the time Bryan first ran for Presi-
dent.
