Francis Meredith, director of the
State department of labor and indus

case was turned over.
The mushrooms, Maj. Meredith
said, came from a New York import

them from Russia.

Mai. Meredith said messages had
been received recently from Ware

with lead and stones in the stems,
the evident purpose being TO increase
their weight.

toners can get home long before mid
night.
But if Gene proves to be as tricky
as Tommy was, and ride the punches
in the same way-well. then. it's a
boxing match for a while at least.
I'm supposed to be the slugger in this
affair, and Genes the fancy-stepping
boxer. That's supposed to be his
strong point: experts concede that.
Not being an expert. 1 don't con-
cede it.
My ambition, naturally, Is to knock
out Tunney. But if 1 can't do that
then I'll beat him to the decision at
his own game. OF so much / am su-
premely confident. For If I outboxed
Tommy Gibbons on the best day that
Tommy ever knew, and when I was
10 notches below my present fighting
form, then l reckon that I'll whip
Gene that way, too If I. can't flatten
him.
With full knowledge of Tunney's
ability as a puncher, / don't think
that Gene ever could punch as hard
as Gibbons. Especially around the
dynamite in each hand. In the year
or so previous to our meeting he had
knocked out about 20 men-and that
means terrific punching power.
I met Gibbons when both hands
were crushing f1stic chins: I met him
when he was at his best: I took him
at his own style Of fighting. And no
man denies that 7 gave him a. de-
cisive whipping. So why should l
worry myself into a. sick headache
over Gene Tunney. who does not, in
my belief. rate with Gibbons at his
best?
OF course may be wrong on that.
Tunney of today may be better than
Gibbons Of 1923. But. on the 23d I'm
going to throw everything I have into
the effort to prove that / am right.

LEGAL ONSLAUGHTS
DO NOT WORRY TEX
By the Aasociated Press.

~ vic aosoIAStC0 AEGce.
PHILADELPHIA, September IL
Jack kearns, former manager of
Jack Dempsey, has entered the list
of those attempting to throw legal
barriers in the way of the Tunney-
Dempsey fight.
By the latest move. Tex Rickard.
promoter of the bout, is summoned
to appear in court here to answer
allegations that he intends paying
Dempsey and Tunney their guar
antees before the fight. in violation
of the law creating the Pennsylvania
Athletic Commission. The suit was
filed by Sol Wittenburg, described as
taxpayer and ticket holder but
counsel for the plaintiff announced
that Kearns was his major client
in interest"
The plaintiff sets forth that in the
event the fight is not an honest eX-
hibition, the State can collect all Of
the receipts. or more. 1t is alleged
that Dempsey and Tunney are plan
ming to draw their money in advance
and send it to another State SO that
it cannot be forfeited. The plaintiff
asks that Rickard be restrained from
paying them before the fight.
Counsel for the plaintiff said that
his clients had no desire to stop the
fight.
So far as stopping the fight is con-
cerned, Rickard said he would lose
no sleep over the kearns- suit or the
injunction obtained in Indianapolis
by the Coliseum Club of Chicago.
b. G. Clements. president of the
Coliseum Club, is due here today
with the Indiana Injunction. which
upholds his claim that he holds a
contract binding Dempsey to meet
Harry Wills before engaging any
other opponent. Should the Pennsyl-
vania Athletic Commission refuse to
declare the Dempsey -Tuhncy match
off. Clements plans to seek writ
in the courts Of this State forbidding
the payment of any money to Demp-
sey for the fight.
I'm not such a sucker that
would pay either Tunney or Demp
sey before they fought" Rickard
said.

dropped the latest one, you took 1t
for granted that IL you had panned
her he had accepted your judgment.
Naturally my judgment was always
of the negative kind. 1 panned all
of them on general principles. A
world heavyweight champion has no
business being i'll the love market.
Let that highly exciting career be
given over to matinee idols and film
heroes. 1t makes little difference with
them, but a heavyweight champion
can't handle a title and tittering dolls
at one and the same time.
There never was any use trying to
head off one of Dempsey's frequent
love affairs. He saw, he fell and fell
out again with such rapidity that had
been less concerned about his future
might not have bothered my head
about his entanglements with the
beautiful. But l did care. | had
taken the raps and the knocks and
the falls for him over a period of
years and I didn't see any good rea-
son for allowing him to make a jack
ass of himself if it could be helped.
You know. man in love Is silly at
best. He has no sense of proportion
and little regard for the future. It's
love, love and the world be damned.
That was Dempsey.
Under the spell of a woman's guiles
Dempsey was like any other boob who
thinks he knows women. Show me
man who swears he does and I'll
show you a guy who ought to have
a brass-buttoned keeper with him. If

of his life. She must have, for Estelle
Taylor came into it and has put all
the others to route.
Jack Daugherty, the film celebrity,
was the man who brought about the
meeting between Estelle Taylor and
Dempsey
We were on the lot one day and

innocently enough. Instantly Demp-
cretly admired her. perhaps. was
strong for the meeting.
Lets go and meet her" said the
champion and with that we hopped
into his big roadster and was off for
LaSky'S plant, where she was working
in film.
Daugherty introduced them. lie
was Barbara la Marr's husband.
Miss Taylor seemed greatly impressed
and so was Dempsey. There was no
doubt about that Miss Taylor spoke
up first and said that she was de-
lighted to meet the champion.
"Well. how are you. anyway? I've
known and do know SO many mutual
friends Of yours that it does seem
that we're old acquaintances, even
though we've never been introduced
until now"
She had known Jimmy Daugherty
and his folks in Pennsylvania. and
Jimmy being good friend Of ours.
there was more than the usual sig
nificance to the Introduction.
KeaTns Gets Suspicious.
That was how they met. Then be-
gan long courtship. as courtship 1t
turned out to be. He had 1t off one
day and on the next with any of us
who were close to him. He didn't
seem to be as deeply in love with her
as he had been with dozens Of others.
He hid from us the fact that this
time he had fallen for keeps.
This meeting on the lot had not
been my first with Estefle Taylor. I
had met her back in Philadelphia in
1919 when with some friends of
Jimmy Daugherty. AS a matter Of
fact I though she was just one of
the passing beauties that had fitted
before his eyes.
I didn't begin to realize that there
was more than usual importance to
their regard for each other until she
came East on a visit while we we're
on vaudeville tour.
They met frequently and the
oftener I saw them together the
surer I was that Dempsey was hard
hit. I couldn't answer for Miss
Taylor.
Just the same. Dempsey kept telling
us that it wasn't serious. I began to
believe even that after awhile. They
went along with Dempsey always
pooh pooling the ideas that he would
marry the lady.
