PAUL SAMPSON is
ONE BATTLED WHO
REALIZES PLACE
German Champ Doesn't Even
Want to Get a Look at
Dempsey

NEW YORK. April S.-Some day
some young German gent is going to
walk up to Herr Dempsey, the cham
pion first-fighter, and derling him
klop in the gezicht And then the
referee is going to stand over Herr
Dempsey and call off "acht, neun,
zehn and raus."
Herr Paul Sampson, Whilom soloist
on line of beerpumps up around
Tammy hall, incument champion of
Germany, has become professor of
boxing at the Berlin sport palace
to teach the young German athletes
how to shoot the right hook with
an American accent. Pauls right
name is as long as a mile of noodles.
He left Germany about 16 years ago
for America, which then offered pub
lie encouragement to the art of
young bar meister. he being such.
and he developed his punch in the
bar-rooms along Fourteenth street
starting bungs and stopping buns in
the line of his daily duties.
Paul returned to Germany easily
last fail in the capacity of commits
sary to a marine engine with a rap
acious appetite for soft coal. Land
ing in Berlin, he read in the Tagliche
Zeitungen that Fritz Breiden Straet-
ter had become champion of Germany
and was about to start a putsch for
the championship of the world. Herr
sampson called around at the fight
club where Fritz was to meet the
best man in the house that night
and suggested that maybe Herr
Fritz would like to add to his honors
the championship of Fourteenth
street, New York city, which he
Herr Paul, stood ready TO place at
stake within the ring. Herr Fritz
didn't mind,
Won German TIDE.
II is. of course. we'll known that
Herr Paul that evening sank his
right hand up to elbow in Fritzies
kischkes and received as his reward
the championship of Germany in ad
dition to several pecks of marks,
amounting roughly to 81. The title
at that time seemed to be more in
the natures of liability than an
asset, but Paul has since reconsid-
cred and decided 1t We're better to
be national champion in his ma
tive land than ten dollar prelim-
mary fighter at the Broadway A. c.,
New York, defending the champion
81 lip of Fourteenth street to which
he had only clouded claim at best.
Back around the garden I'm a
Schmier- Kase anyway" Herr Paul
admitted to an American correspon-
cent in Berlin. I'm the only heavy
weight fist-fighter in the world
which doesn't want to fight Chack
Tempzey. l don't even want to meet
this Firpo. They hit too harI.
Farmer Lodge hits too hard too
He gifts it moidcr. He gesmashed
me in chaw in New York"
But the Germans have never seen
a boxer in action who could COM
pare with their hominy wanderer
Paul Sampson. Fourth rater he
may, be judged by American stand
ards. but he learned the routine
tricks of the trade as sparring part
ner to Georges Carpenter and odd
job boxer in fight clubs on the other
side.

Pelham smiled Quizzically. Jerry,
I didn't get my invitation to Ladis-
laus' party until the day before 1t
was to occur That was mighty
funny. I was followed the night Of
the party. That didn't mean much
then. Later It meant that the Gray
Ghost was anxious to know, in ad-
vance Of the robbery, IL were to be
there"
"Why?" demanded Tryon.

any one Of his men would do 1t In the

The flush had left the cheeks of NAL

appeal to it to protect me from such

Thoroughly admirable" said Pei
ham. But permit me to relate certain
other facts. One Ravasan. at whose
cafe you entertained last night, was
killed this morning. 1t seems that in
vestigators discovered that the same
gentleman who financed your trip
abroad also financed Mr.. Ravasan's
business venture. Accused, Mr.. Rava-
san was so incautious as to draw a
revolver. The detective who talked
with him was prepared. In the ensu-
ing duel Mr.. Ravasan was killed"
You have no proof" cried the
prince, hosrsely. Why should 1 not

That Is a question TO which you
may give the answer in court"
The princes eyes cleaned. II am

country has never recognized the Nal

Unfortunately. your highness al

ham. However the papers, which
have printed so much today about last
nights robbery, will be cheerfully
ready, to print as much more about
your highness' intimate relations with
the Gray Ghost"
II never saw him!" cried the prince
Pelham knew that he spoke the
truth. He had hoped that Ladislaus
under threat Of exposure. would dts
close the whereabouts of the arch
criminal. He knew now that this
could not happen. He rose.
