TOXIC, Mar. l.--AmHrica and

UGH ALARM FELT OVER DEMPSEY,s CONDITION.
CROMWELL SAYS
CRUMBLES MAY
GO TO OLYMPICS
Ell Centre Boy Again
Calls Forth Plaudits
of l.. A.. Writers

That friends of Kenneth Grum-
E1es, former IL Centre Junior Col
lege track star, now at the Univer-
sity Of Southern California, were
not making idle predictions when
they stated Grumbles has n good
chance to make the Olympic team,
is proved by an article in yester-
days Los Angeles Examiner, with
II seven column headline, which in
cludes a statement by Coach trom-
we'll of the University Of Southern
California.
"On early season dope, Grnlnbles
is one of the surest prospects in the
university" Cromwell is quoted as
saying, ''and / consider that his
chances of going 10 Paris are just
as good as are those of Bud Houser
md Norman and Otto Anderson.
Grumbles can run the low hurdles
row in about 25 seconds and he may
improve so fast that Otto Ander
son will have real rival in his
own university
The article also calls attention
to the fact thai Grumbles came
within three-fifths of second OF
equalling the worlds record
Of 54 l-5 second for the 440 yard
hurdles at the A. A. U. games in
Los Angeles recently. This was
the first time Grumbles ev.r at
tempted the hurdles at this distance
and great things are expected of
him. The 440 hurdles are only ap-
proximately two yards less thar
fhe' 40C meter barrier race which is
to he one of the features of the
Olympic games.
Coach Cromwell, who is known as
one Of the best developers of track
stars in the country. is giving par
ticular attention to GruLbles, and
there seems to be little doubt THAI
the former Fl Centre boy is TO ae-
comrlish great things in the athle-

RUMORED THAT
OPERATION is
QUITE SERIOUS
'NO Visitors" Edict Gives
Rise to Fears For
Champ
By HENRY L. FARRELL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Mar. /. - Jack
Dempsey is knocked off his feet
for the first time since Firpo put
him through the ropes and prccau-
tions taken by attendants to close
up all news sources caused reports
today that the champions s future
was endangered as a result of com
pllcations which followed recent
operation.
Mr.. Dempsey is resting easily
and his condition is satisfactory,
wa sail that hospital attendants
would say this morning. The same
reports have been issued from the
hospital since Dempsey went on the
table for what was said to have
been minor operation.
1t was explained that "Mr.
Dempsey is a private patient and
we are not at liberty to discuss
details about private cases.
Before goingito the hospital Demp
sey said that he had been bothered
for some time with a fistula and
that he had been advised that an
operation would be necessary to get
permanent relief. Dempsey has
not been permitted to see any visi.
tors since he came from the operat-
ing room and Jack Kearns, his man.
ager, has not been available since
then.
1t was intimated at the hospital,
however that Dempsey was not
permitted to see friends, not be-
cause he had suffered relapse from
complications, but for the purpose
of preventing him from having any
such relapse.
Reports that the real cause for
the operation has been disguised
and that the champion 8 incapacity
was more serious than had been an
nounced, were in general circulation
here today.
Stories that Dempsey might have
to retire from the ring were con-
sidered as exaggerated, however.
''You will find out that he is in
no danger" Tex Rickard said to-
day. "He's never been sick before
and he s. not going to be flattened
by this operation. Chances are
he'll be better than he ever was. -
1t was said at the hospital this
morning that the champion would
not be able to leave for at least
another week, but it was recalled
that when he decided to have the
operation performed on him he was
told that he would have to remain
in the hospital for, a week or ten
dayS.
