T JACK DEMPSEY is fooling
Somebody-either the writ
A ers who say he will never
fight and never can get in shape
or the public. A letter from a
friend in Cleveland, where Demp-
sey put on three two-round exhi-
billions wednesday night, says
that the champ appeared in fine
shape with no fat around his
waist-line.
The epistle further stated that
Jacks judge Of distance unlike
the man who named it near beer)
was good, that he was fast as a
bantam on his feet, and hit like
ton with either hand.
Furthermore, Dempsey had each
of his opponents groggy with
punches from the big pillows he
wore and knocked Marty Cutler,
ex-wrestler, through the ropes
with a jab to the solar plexus.
According to the letter John
Risko was scheduled to so on
with the champ but refused after
an argument over the remunera-
tion-otherwise known as dough.
Dempsey is fooling somebody.

TOM MIX AT

caps another climax in newest pho
to-drama There is an apex in all
our careers when we reach or attain
the best there is in US. Every rule

Tom MiX's best picture; but every
new Mix production sees these same
people eating their words or repeat
ing them. 1t was Theodore Roose-
welt who first sang the praises of the
beauty of the Badlands of Dakota.
Tom Mix, who fought with ROose-
velt's troops in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, idolized the leader of the

from Clarence (. Mulfer's novel,

not hurt you, and it certainly ends the
torture at once.

Just as soon as you apply Red Pep
per Rub you will feel the tingling heat.
In three minutes it warns the sore spot
through and through. Pain and sore
