Protect His
Investment
Might Serve AS Referee For
Gibbons-C Carpenter
Bout
BY HARLAN 8. MILLER
IL eased Wlre In The Ana. Haraid)

CHICAGO, March 22.--Jack Dempsey
is one of the shrewdest investors this
side of Broad street. If he is risking
some Of his violently acquired dollars
on a Gibbons Carpenter fight July 4,
in the wilds Of Indiana's sand dunes, as
Floyd Fitzsimmons says he is, Jack
will be in the ring in person to keep
an eye on his investment,
AS referee, Dempsey would be in an
excellent strategic position to safe
guard his reputation in his first pro-
motion venture. He will be bare of
knuckle, while Tom and Georges will
be burdened with eight ounces on each
hand.
should they show any inclination to
slack in their biting, should they slight
the cries of the ringsiders for more
blood, Dempsey could exercise moral
suasion or uppercuts.
In financial circles, the use Of force
to protect Investments is by no means
novel, but the investor himself rarely
risks his hide, as Jack might have to.
Some Job
Whether Dempsey, bare-handedj could
route Gibbons and Carpenter combined
triotic affiliations, would naturally in
cline toward lethargy when Dempsey
was pummeling the Frenchman, and
Carpenter could scarcely be guilty OF
so gross diplomatic faux pas as as
saulting an American referee.
France and Ireland have always had
osme faint bond in common, but Glib
| bons now lives in a Scandinavian com
| munity in st. Paul. From theinterna
| tional aspect, 1t would seem, the ticket
| holders are assured of lots of action
| especially IL Jack wears a high hat and
naguyka, after the fashion of ring
masters, and IL his two recent victims
have any fight left.
Problematical Meeting
Whether Dempsey cash will actually
| bring Gibbons and Carpenter together
at Michigan City's big bowl next indie
| pendence day, as Fitzsimmons pro-
claimed, is a subject for much skepti-
cism hereabodts, but by no means i'm
possible.
| Since Dempsey, back in 1920, when
| his pockets were nearly empty, netted
! 200 from Fitzsimmons' staging a
match with Billy Miske at. Benton Har.
| Dor, he has harbored a debt of graft
ftude; Jack rarely forgets favors.
Fitzsimmons Splurges
When he paused here on his last trip
! westward, he stopped for chat with
! Fitzsimmons, and shortly afterward the
promoter began to pay off taxes and
other debts that had been hanging over
his property since his bad luck with the
man conversations.
Recoupment is on the cards now
| Fitzsimmons declared Thursday, talk
| ing optimistically about two other big
| shows this summer and even of q
| Dempsey Firpo match 1000 miles from
| Broadway. He declared he has Glib
bons' signature and Carpenters assur
ances that they will be here early II
June to begin training.

:. In States; Will Not Go,

NEW YORK, March 22.-Mere sport
achieved new importance this week
when something like an international
tiff developed between the United States
and France in connection with the
Olympic games, which are to be played
in France this summer.
In Washington it developed that Maj.
Gen. Henry T. Allen vice president of
the American Olympic committee, would
perform all the duties of that office
| except that Of accompanying the Ameri-

the affairs of his position in this coun-
try, particularly in connection with the
campaign to raise money for the trans
portation of the team.
General Allen, in Fort Wayne, Ind,
said he had no intention CT resigning
the vice presidency Of the committee
and made further comment which took
cognizance of rumors that there was
feeling against him, personally, in
France because of his writings and
his efforts to raise money for the feed
ing Of destitute German children.
Col. Robert Thompson, president of
| the committee, said General Allen had
notified the committee that for per-
sonal reasons he did not wish to GO to
France. Thompson was specific, how
ever, on the point that there was no
official pressure on General Allen to
cause him to absent himself from the
games.
Whether with justification or not
there Is feeling of resentment against
the French Olympic officials ON the
part Of some Americans here. The
French have made indirect attacks on
General Allen, 1t is said, and have been
lacking in consideration for the United
