If Jack Dempsey is sincere in his
announcement that he will fight
Harry Wills on July 4, 1925, he will
not hesitate twenty-four hours to
deposit a forfeit of $4,000 that he
will honor his word.
That sum il only 8 per cent OF
the purse demanded. 1t will be a
guarantee of good faith. 1t also
will assure the ever patient public
that he is not going to trade in
the moving picture game on the
belief that he has signed to meet
Wills.
With no cash forfeit posted,
when next July rolls around and
he has garnered the moving
picture royalties, Dempsey could
very easily tell the public that he
finds he will require six moro
months TO get into fighting physi-
cal trim.
That will bring the great scenario,
"Sparring With the Public" to the
autumn of 1926. Then there will
not be an indoor arena large enough
to stage the oft-postponed spectacle.
We have commended that Dempsey
will never fight again.
When he refused to fight Greb on
Labor Day for Promoter Floyd
FitZsimmons, given the privilege of
naming his own figures. that settled
all argument.
Greb weighed 1914 pounds last
week at the Milk and Ice Fund
show in Atlantic City. He was as
fast as a featherweight. He could
have made il interesting for
Dempsey for a few rounds.
But that nose of the champion
must be preserved. The movies de-
mand that. Hence no bout with
Dempsey.
American fight fans, who have
made it possible for Dempsey 20 be
where he is today, demand he make
good.
Let him post a substantial cash
forfeit, and then the public will
have the assurance he Is on the
level.
Otherwise he should come out like

a view Of strengthening and unlfylng

OF course, the document was refer

like most kindred bodies In orthodox

most reactionary members of the as

will give good account Of them
selves. They will continue the fight
for their program by bringing In spe-

consideration of the council.

At the last meeting of the Interna-

Therefore, my. immediate job is to

TRANSPORTATION
 ALASkA'S NEED

Dr. A. T. Kinsley of Kansas City, Mo-, who has been visiting with MT. and Mrs. George Sexton for the last week, was a guest at the special Seward Chamber of Commerce lunch con at noon today and gave a brief but interesting account of his i'm pressions of Alaska.
 Dr. Kinsley stated his original thot on Alaska was that it was purchased from Russia. Later he gave a little thought to it's massive gold fields La ter, it's huge mountains with snow- capped peaks, glaciers and icebergs, but on this, his first trip to the Terri tory, he was vividly impressed with the wonderful natural resources.
 He agreed with Chas. D. Garfield, Secretary of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, who had just previous spoken, that the view of the average person in the States has of Alaska, is correct. This was with regards to transportation fa- cilities. If transportation can be speeded up and the facilities increas- ed in Alaska, the Territory could have all it could attend to for a consider able period to come. Dr. Kinsley cited

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July II (P) Having heard a denunciation of arbi- tration by John l..

his own case as an example, in that in- asmuch as he is here for only a week, it is impossible for him to visit cer- tain portions of the district which he desired. He found upon his arrival in Seward that the trip to and from Fairbanks takes four days, which does not permit the average tourist, who would otherwise make the journey, to see the wonderful Interior region The matter of Alaskan transportation, he believed, was the outstanding prob lem at this time.
