Hello champion! Hello Jack!"

Hello champion! Hello Jack!"
 Various salutations rattle at him from all sides. Jack grins, little self-consciously.
 Hello Boys!" He has rather high-pitched voice, voice of the sort that seems so typical of world famous athletes The bull mouthed cadences, it might be remembered, usually comes from little men, the bell-like baritones from actors and the husky, throaty roar from poli- ticians and rummies.
 Come on," says Jack, we'll beat it up to the hotel.
 Jack >Kearns, who has less inclin- ation tol avoiding the multitudes, stops 10 shake hands with several friends and invites them to come to the hotel, too.
 Coats Off.
 Everyone crowds into the elevator and the elevator boy exchanges a different jocularity with the cham ricn, who grins again and playfuily taps hin on the jaw with his fingers. No knight ever rose from the touch of a monarch's sword upon his shoulder with the seraphic eX- rrese:on that adorns the face or he elevator joker.
 Coats off is the order once the csmrany IS gathered ill the tta,n- pi)n's suite.
 l)ersey picks up a pap7r :.nd starts to read. One of his most de- voted heelers, rather fast and chunky bond salesman, gets kidding with a fight writer. A little touch of bitterness develops-you know, that sort of josh that has a sting to it. Kearns and the rest watch for developments with little smiles. Dempsey goes on reading.
 The two begin to wrestle They plunge and roll all over the room, finally ending upon the bed in death grips, breathing like wal russes. Dempsey casts his paper aside, walks over to the bed, pulls down the blankets and wraps up the two men in them so that they get hardly a whiff of air. When they are untangled they are peace able enough.
 Conversation ensues. It appears that with the champion all the world is divided into two classes - the knockers and the boosters. Just to test it out. he will ask what you thing of so and so. If you don't think much of so and so, Dempsey classes you at once as a knocker and he will never accept you as a real friend. And it does not make bit of difference whether he likes the guy who is knocked or whether he dislikes him. He never knocks himself
 In the course of conversation the name of Firpo comes up. "Oh," says Jack, He's good guy"
 And Wills.
 He's big, strong guy and liable 1 to beat any one.'' Will you ever be licked, Jack?' asks some one. we all get it if we keep on long

California Ku Kluxer
 Denies Craft Charges

LOS ANGELES, Dec. SC. w. Price, imperial representative of the Ku KluX Klan in California, yester- day filed counter charges denying the affidavits made against him and oth- CT officers of the organization involv- ing alleged illegal raids, intimida- tions, attempted blackmail, embezzle- ment of hospital funds and other Of- lenses.
 The original injunction proceedings were brought by James F. Deborde, and others, following a split in the ranks of the klan here and asked that Price and his fellow klansmen be enjoined from further activities in this state.
 Superior Judge Shaw said that he would render decision on the in- junction application later.

eff you want to start trouble, cut
an item out of newspaper and leave
the paper where your wife can find
it," says an exchange.
You bet it will work. We know a
man whose wife once went away on a
visit and stayed longer than the hus-
band thought she ought, but he didn't
like to tell her that he wished she
would come home. He had been send
ing her all of the issues of the home
papers during her absence. One day
he carefully cut little item out of
one of the papers he mailed to her.
From the next paper he did the same
and the following day she came
home. She had hardly got her wraps
off before she slipped to neighbor's
to borrow copies of those two papers,
only to find that the brute of a hus-
band had clipped out only patent
medicine ad each time. But she was
home, and of course couldn't make a
kick.
