Dempsey's Contract
With Kearns Expires
But Trouble Looms

New York, Aug. 4-(P)-If Jack
Dempsey has any idea that legal or
licensing obstacles will interfere
with his prospective heavyweight
championship battle with Gene Tun-
ney on September IS at the Yankee
Stadium, he didn't betray any trace
of it upon his arrival in New York
today.
Bronzed by effects Of his prelimin-
airy outdoor work. the champion
made light of injunction proceedings
brought against him by Chicago pro-
motors claiming a hold on his SER
vices. and declared he was ready to
make any move necessary to clear
up the question Of obtaining licenses
here.
Dempsey's application for a box
ing license will be forwarded at once
to the license committee of the Sta te
athletic commission, it was decided
after the champion had conferred
with Tex Richard. Tunney's appli-
cation also will be filed for consider
alton by the commission at it's meet
ing next Tuesday.
TN in good shape now and don't
want to take any chances Of going
stale by waiting over here for any
| length of time" Dempsey said. You
know I've had virtually three months
of training so far, at Hendersonville,
n. c.; and Colorado Springs, al
though 1 was handicapped by a
brief spell of illness about two
months ago at Hot Springs.
IF the commission wants me to
be on hand for the meeting next
Tuesday I'll get in some gym work
| outs in the meantime; otherwise
I'll loaf around for a few days and
be on my way to Saratoga not later
than Sunday"
Dempsey scales about 1913 but ex-
poets to be down to 1SS for the fight.
On the trip here from St. Louis,
which included a stop over in In
dianapolis during which he was
served with papers in legal action
! brought by Chicago promoters,
/ Dempsey was accompanied by his
wife, Estelle Taylor Dempsey.
! Tex Richard met rebuff yesterday
/ in an attempt to gain a further point
IN the situation when his suggestion
/ that the limit for tickets to a heavy
weight championship contest in this
state be raised to $50, was laid aside
, by the commission pending a deci-
sion by the license committee on the
status of the boxers. The license
board is expected to rule next Tues
day.
Richard has had half of mis- tickets
printed-and half" is written advis-
edly. The back of the pasteboarG
carries photos of Jack and Gene but
any indication as TO the time and
place for the contest is not to be
found However, the promoter says.
the tickets are the best he ever has
had printed for a fight and he will
use them If he has to stage the
match in a desert.

Muds Important Part
in Earth's Formation

Importance of mud and the part it
played in the earth's formation was
the theme Of lecture by noted
Welsh geologist speaking on Welsh
geology at Cardiff He affirmed that
mud was one of natures most impor-
tant productions-a commodity with
out which man could not live. Changes
in the earth's crust had profoundly
altered the muds which had been
formed in past periods of the earth's
history. One of the most interesting
of rocks produced by the alteration of
mud was slate, and the states for
which north Wales was so famous
were formed during period when
that part of the earth's crust was in a
condition Of violent unrest, and some
very ancient muds were intensely
squeezed. The effect of the squeezing
was to compress the mud and to twist
It's particles round until they all came
to lie In the same relative direction
like torn fragments of paper lying fiat
The result Of this, and other changes
which accompanied it, was to make it
possible to split the rock into thin
sheets like cardboard.

Liszf as Press Aren't

Genius in the preceding generation
forged ahead without the aid of a
press agent" said a magazine editor
the other day in speech. AS a gen
eral rule perhaps. But there are ex-
ceptions, Pierre Van Paassen, writing
in the Atlanta Constitution, contends.
Consider the case of List. When he
first began to play in public he came
to places where his fame had not pre-
coded him. One evening there were
only dozen persons in the auditori-
UNI. Instead of playing, he invited
them all to supper, where he treated
them to truffles and game and cham
payne and cognac and all the delica-
lessen in season. Then he sat down
at the piano and played for his guests
for two hours, as only he could play.
A few days later he announced an
other recital, in a larger hall. 1t was
filed to capacity, but the audience
was not invited to supper. AS press
agent, evidently, List could have
given points to the best Of our days.
