Romero.Roja to Get Crack At Dempseys Crown If He
 Disposes of Three Preliminary Opponents

1 New York, Feb. 26.-Jack Dempsey may be called on to defend his heavy weight championship against a new South American menace next fall if present plans of Tex Rickard mater ialize.
 The promoter announced yesterday that he had guaranteed Quintin Romero Roias. Chilean heavyweight. purse of s100,000 for a title fight with Jack Dempsey. possibly in Sep tember if he succeeds in disposing of three preliminary opponents. Rick ard has come to a definite agreement with the Chilean and cabled the box CT to fix the earliest possible date on which he can reach this cole4ry.
 Romero-R -Rojas has been offered the same opportunity to gain ring fame and financial reward that fell to Luis Angel Firpo last year. Rickard said, adding that reports reaching him jus tified the prediction that the Chilean might prove an even greater sensation than the Argentine, who gained match with Dempsey after cutting wide swath through heavyweight ranks.
 No Firpo Agreement
 At the same time, Rickard reveal ed that he has no definite agreement with Firpo for return match with Dempsey and that he may abandon plans for such contest if Romero Roias demonstrates that he is a fit challenger for the champion. The promoter made it plain that he is dis satisfied with Firpo's failure to re- spond to recent overtures for matches here this year and was ready to cancel the Argentine's proposed part in his heavyweight program unless the "Wild Bull'' assumes different at- titude.
 Jack Is Willing
 Rickard has received the assurance Of Jack Kearns. Dempseyis manager that the champion would be ready to meet Romero Rojas if the latter comes mp to expectations. According. to present plans, the Chilean's first bout will be staged at Madison Square Garden, with Fred Fulton or Floyd Johnson as an opponent Should he emerge victorious in his first test, n match with Jack Renault. hard-hit- ting Canadian, next would be sought, Riekard asserted.

 Kayo Route

Tracey Ferguson of Wallingford traded punches last night with Vince Coffey, of Kingston. N. Y., at the Pittsfield A. C., and had very much fhe better of it. Tracey knocked his rival out in the sixth round.
 It was a whale of battle. Kergu- son was in the pink of condition and was brimming over with fighting ideas. while Coffey showed a marked preference to box. Tracey took the lead and scored knockdowns in the third. fourth ands two in the sixth. The flop that Coffey took in the third was the turning point of the fight for Tracey's hard right-handed smash lodges under the heart and gave the Kingston battler a taste of blow that was solid, hurting and destruc- tive, all in one swini.
 Ferguson showed a lot of stuff last night. In fact he had more than the notions counter in ten cent store, and he was about as4 reluctant in showing his stuff as VIC mortals are in greeting the weekly pay envelope.

 Only a fair crowd watched this crackerjack card and if Manolian and Ferguson get together it was forecasted early that they would pack 'em in and mako the life of sardine in a can look like one of comparative case and comfort.

The impending American pro-
duction of John Galsworthy's
"Old English" is not without an
unusual side interest. Gals
worthy, England's master dra-
matte craftsman, is presumed to
be representative of everything
inherently British, and whenever
a new piece from his workshop
comes along; his multitudinous
public rather expects it to be
backgrouhded with settings, sit
uations, and transformations
Enthusiastically British. Usually
this is true.
"Old English" was greeted
coldly when offered to London
ers early this season. The play,
though highly praised as q piece
Of fine writing, technically fault
less, and brilliantly conceived,
did not, please Britishers because,
so they contend, Of a decided lack
Of genuinely sincere British at
mosphere, something on the or
der of that5chronicle which Sam
Johnson described as a mastery
effort since "the author had COM
posed a history Of England with
out once mentioning the Eng
lish."
Critics did not assail Gals
worthy, but pointed out this de-
feet, mildly and with an inuendo
limiting ut indifference on. the
part of the playwright.
Washingtonians will see the
play shortly. 1t is announced
as q coming attraction at the
Belasco.
Before David Warfield en-
barks on the treacherous sea of
the ceIluIoid drama, a reported
venture Of the near future, he
should have a long, heart-to-

John Barrymore and Pauline
Frederick, all of whom can tell
him a few things.
The only advantage Warfield
has over any other screen tyro
is a veteran stars ability to act,
and act well. But hen have to
learn to do more with his face
and hands, and less with his
voice.
This is lesson difficult for
grand old men Of the stage to
learn. Arliss didn't learn fast,
but Barrymore and Miss Freder-
lex did--and they are outstand-
ing examples Of stage successes
who have made equally high
marks on their movie report
