DEMPSEY GETS OFFER
TO FIGHT In BERLIN

NEW YORK, May 5.-Jack Curley
has announced that he had received a
cable from Samuel Rachman, motion
picture producer in Germany, offering
Jack Dempsey S150,00O for a heavy
weight bout in Berlin while the cham
pion is abroad on his honeymoon trip
Dempsey indicated that he prob

offer from Germany relayed to him by
Curley.
He said that all arrangements for
such a match would have to be made
with his manager, Jack Kearns. and
that he hoped to confine his European

Personally Jack would not be at allt
averse to taking on some opponent
while abroad in the way of knocking
some of the rust off him and prepart
ing himself for further bouts in the
United States.
Jack Not 10 Quit.
The inside facts are that Dempsey
has no idea of retiring from the ring,
and from all the writer gathers Mrs.
Dempsey does not want him to- One
of her recent remarks was as follows:
II married fighting man and, OF
course, l want him TO fight"
The last week that Dempsey spent
in New York convinced him that he
never needed a manager of Kearns'
cleverness as much as he did on his
present trip. He was in a jam from
start to finish, his time being used up
by non-essential persons and many aft'
fairs which he should have attended
to left at ragged ends.
There is no more genial man than
Dempsey, and in his heart he dislikes'
hurting the feelings of any one. This
has placed him in situations where
his time has been utterly wasted, and,
the chances are that when he returns
to this city Kearns will be on the Job
with frosty face and marble heart. =
Visit Is Pleasant.
Contrary to general reports, Demp-
sey's visit to the Boxing Commission
in New York was a pleasant affair and
the champion was treated-well, like
a champion.
He was kept waiting IS minutes in
the anteroom. when he and his wife
and two friends, a man and woman;
were received into the august pres
ence.
One Of the members. Farley, If the
writer is not mistaken, spoke up
and expressed the satisfaction of the
board in receiving a personal visit
from the champion, whereas Kearns
has done nothing but write a letter.
He was informed that the board ap-
preciated that he was a credit TO the
sport; that his manner of living, and
so forth were fully appreciated, and
he was congratulated on his marriage.
Then the member asked a fellow
member. Muldoon, it is understood, if
he had anything to say, and Muldoon
shook his head.
After short pause Phelan spoke
up, saying that there was no disposi-
ton to crowd the champion at this
time. but was it true that he had in.
tended TO retire from the ring
Dempsey replied promptly that 1t
was not true and that he intended to
fulfill all his obligations as an active.
champion in such manner as his mann
ager, Kearns, should dictate after his
return from Europe. -
The commissioners expressed their
satisfaction and then the party was
shown to a private exit, so that the
crowd could be avoided. And so ended
the visit Of the champion to the com
mission.

tarded their conditioning, and neither

he will be when the strong, hot sun

erS.
When that time arrives-and it
should not be long delayed now
Bucky Harris may be confronted with
an embarrassment of pitching riches,
but the prospect is not causing the
youthful pilot any undue concern.
Harris Grins Over Prospect.
'T know base ball history proves
that a great majority of the pennants
have been won by teams that pos
sessed only three or four first-rank
pitchers who were used in regular
turn" said Harris today. Barring
the unforeseen, it looks as if we might
have double the usual number of
pitchers entitled to firSt-string ranking
when the weather finally settles. but
that prospect doesn't worry me for a
minute" Bucky added with a grin.
ITS my notion that a club cannot
have too many competent hurlers,
and in our case there won't be any
question of some of them getting
rusty from disuse. Well find plenty
of work for everybody, and have the
satisfaction of knowing we are we'll
protected against accidents.
Speed. a tight defense afield and
an adequate attack cannot be dis
counted as factors essential to
championship club, but when all is
said and done it is pitching that wins
pennants, and it is with that element
that we expect to make our bid to
repeat this season. No, I'm not wor-
rled about having too many good
pitchers
