There is whisper that one OF the
reasons for jack Dempsey's reported
plan to go to Europe late this win
ter is due to the lure of an attractive
ofrer from Italian promoters to come
to Italy and meet Spalla. 1t is known
that kearns has been exchanging
lomatic circles. and that he has found
this bait a little bit tempting.
It might be business policy for Jack
to go to Italy and let Spalla make
good showing, for then the echoes
would fill the United States and the
Italian walloper would be sent forth
post-haste to come here and meet
the champion for a million dollars
or so. The fans fall for these battles
of the century like flies.
In the meantime. there is no one
in Jersey. where Spalla held forth
for a year. who Is going to get very
much excited about him.

LACK BURKE TELLS:
The Funniest Play Ever Saw

TT WAS at the Town and Country

cumstances attending it. 1 can men,

1t came up through an argument
in the clubhouse. A player-nct the
best in the party, at that-having
cornered a flock of highballs, de-
clared that, in his opinion, any fairly
competent man ought to be able to
play the 125-yard tenth hole in one
at least once in ten trials.
The tenth hole-since forsaken for
a new one-was, at that time, a
tricky affair, with a nasty water
hazard between it and the tee.
There were any number of mem
bers glad to get on the green with
a single stroke, let alone sink their
ball.
Our slightly inebriated friend grew
extremely confident in his assertions
and finally offered to back them with
hard cash. He said he would demon
strate the possibility of the play
himself.
In no time a stakeholder had sew
eral hundred dollars in his hands and
the party was on its way to the tenth
tee, accompanied by an ever-growing
gallery as the news of the unique
wager spread.

But a more tricky thing still
occurred when, during a game,
while Kelly was on first, a hit
sent the next man to first, fol-
lowed by the umpire. Kelly,
clearing the first bag, sped across
the field to third, without going
to second, and claimed his posi-
ton, since the umpire did not see
his sly manoeuver. This proved
conclusively that the diamond
was too large for one umpire to
watch. A second umpire was the

NERY little in the way of new

speed. 1t had it in all positions, and,
