and very shortly.
His name is Ray Cannon and h,
is Milwaukee lawyer.
Ray has been n friend Of Dempsey
for years. knows the boxing racket
fairly well. and, being a legal man
is just what Dempsey wants. Jack
knows how to fight. but when il
comes to business he is lost. He
needs lawyer and Cannon is all oil
that.
Ray has represented baseball play.
ers. He is smart fellow. but man.
aging Dempsey may be a bit over his
.Icad.
Jack Kearns managed Dempsey
probably better than any man ever
could or will and Dempsey has tied
the glistening tinware TO his real
mentor. 1t remains to be seen how
Dempsey comes out with n lawyer
instead of practical fighting man
at the wheel.
The trouble is Cannon may not get
what he is promised. Kcarns always
did. except in the Shelby fight with
Tom Gibbons. wien the two Jacks
were supposed to get S3O0.000. Kcar rms
came close with about s2S0.O00 when
the fight only drew S225.0O0. That
was pretty good management.
JUST ONE "B0NER."
The only mistake KearnS ever made
with Dempsey was to take flat
guarantee of 100000 from Tex
Richard to fight the gorgeous Georges
Carpenter in Jersey City. Kcarns
forgot to ask Richard for percent
age. Only % per cent. which is much
less Of percentage than champion,
usually get, would have meant $780,
900 that day. That was Kearns' only
''boncr." Cannon will have n tough
time following in Kearns' shoes.

ncy. and Jack Reddy. the st. Paul

tween Tunncy and BARLEY Madden
