SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. Y,
Sept. 7.-tBy Tho Associated Press)
Jack Dempsey today began the
tapering process of his training grind
for his fight with Luis Angel Firpo.
Already in fighting trim. he will en-.
gage in work designed mainly TO de.
velop his speed and sharpen his box
ing skill.
Light sparring partners will be
pressed into service. among them the
Jamaica Kid. a negro whirlwind
weighing 40 pounds. and Jimmy De-
'aney, the st. Paul light heavyweight
a protege OF Mike Gibbons.
Picking his face and hands in n
combination of beef brine and vine
gar to tougher the skin will be part
Of Dempsey's finishing touches. The
champion soaks his hands in the mix.
ture several times daily and rubs his
face vigorously. This "'pickllng."
Dempsey says. hardens the skin so
there is less danger from a cut from
n grazing blow.

The legal action started by Paddy
Mullins, manager of Harry wills,
negro challenger. in attempting to
prevent the Dempsey.Firpo match
because Dempsey declined to fight
Wills first, exploded like a bomb
shell in the chnmpion's camp. Demp.
sey declared he never would give
Wills q shot at the title as long us
he was champion.
That means the end of Wills SO
far as / am concerned" Dempsey
snapped.
II never had tho slightest objec-
ton to fighting Wills. We intended
to close his match after dlsposlng
Of Firpo, providing I won. Both
Mullins and Wills knew this. I

WHITE COLLAR JOBS

What appears to be excessively higl
wages paid worBrnen in the building
trades in the larger cities, often as
much as $i2 day, may be attributed
to disinclination ON the part Of young
Americans to engage in these occupa-
tions, which not only require much
skill, and are indeed honorable, but
offer inducements for one to "get
ahead" in a financial way, despite
these days of high cost Of living. The
inducements offered should have par
ticular appeal, but the number of men
available ia far short of even normal
requirements.
Bricklayers stone masons, plaster

legions are filing the so-called white
collar jobs at salaries of SIS to 500 |
a month and who, for their own well |
fare, had better be in overalls and
work shirt, earning two, three, or
four times as much money.
An instance was recorded recently
of an engineer in Illinois, who, after
years of study and much experience,
abandoned his profession and turned
to plastering, because the pecuniary
rewards were much greater. Here
