Miss Lincoln Solves
Another Mystery

EVERYONE knows the very
real disappointment attendant
upon the vanishing away into
the realm OF the ..unsolved' Of
some absorbing murder mystery
one may have followed in the
press.
AT times a similar feeling is
induced between the covers Of a
book; a hint too soon by an I'M
skilled writer viii fatally dispel
that peculiar, delightful thrill Of
surprise on reaching the final
truth OF the mystery to be solved.
Such thoughts are induced by
the fact that to make up for such
disappointments one sometimes
comes upon a mystery story that
achieves sustained impenetra-
bility up to the very last page.

these various elements of the heavy

the champion himself popped into the

enthusiasm which draws countless
friends, Dempsey was Immediately a.

kearns was more emphatic in his
protestations of eagerness for a bout
than was Dempsey when the cham.
pion arrived here last Tuesday. The
titleholder's manager said he is deter
mined to force match with Wills il
1t is physically possible. II
it is not possible, Kearns plans to still
forever all discussion OF bout be.
tween the champion and his Negro
challenger.
Kearn's first bit of business upon
his arrival was a conference with
Matchmaker O'Rourke The latter
wants Dempsey to box three rivals to
be selected among Wills, Willard, Joe
Beckett, English heavyweight cham.
pion, and Gibbons. st. Paul light
heavyweight who has professed de.
sire to test the Dempsey punch. g
Floyd Johnson, young Iowa heavy
weight, should defeat Gibbons in their
bout in Madison Square Garden on
March 10, O'Rourke said he would re-
serve the right 10 substitute Johnson
for Gibbons. The matchmaker added
that he might include Luis Angel Fir
pc South American heavyweight, in
the list of Dempsey's eligible rivals,
If the Argentine heavyweight showed
ability which would warrant such rec
ignition.
OROURKE EXPLAINS DETAILS
Under O'Rourke's offer, as it was ex
planned by the Polo Grounds matc3-
maker, Dempsey would engage the
three rivals selected for him in bouts
to be held between the middle OF April
and September OF October. O'Rourke
declined to detail the financial propo
sition he had discussed with KearnS
but let It be known that the champion
would realize at least $1,000 900 IL he
consented to the three bouts. Kearns
listened attentively while O'Rourke
discussed his proposition, and then
the champions manager advised O.
Rourke to sumit HIS proposition in con
tract form tomorrow, when Kearns
will have an opportunity to inspect IT
closely and give his answer.
Kearns, in the meantime, will have
Richards proposition before him. He
expected to see Richard yesterday, but
was prevented, and made an appoint
ment for this afternoon. Another bid
der for Dempsey's services in little
| struggle is said to be Harry Frazee

was financial hacker for the Jess Will
