POUND PRE.WAR AT
 RACE TRACKS ONLY
French Entries Are the Only
 Ones to Suffer by Changes

Horse racing is the only "business" or Sport" where the pound sterling is still on a pre-war basis. But it lis in England and only works one .way-against the French owner.
 Of late years great French stables have entered many horses in stakes and fixtures on the English tracks The stakes are rather small, but paid in sterling, Open betting with re- liable bookies is settled likewise. The lucky French changes them at the current rate.
 But in some of the handicaps the weight the horse must carry Is fig ured according to its winnings dur ing the season.
 Gene Leigh, American trainer of Epinard fame, recently took one of Nj. Pierre Wertheimer's horses to Newmarket.
 After looking up tn erecords, the tandicapper told Gene: Your entry has won 100000 francs" Then after a little scrbbling, he added: "4o0o sterling, stones 10 G22 lbs.) hell carry"
 Not on your life,' shouted Gene, your figuring all wrong" Then into his pockets, Gene drew a large roll of French bills and throwing them on the handicapper's table said: Here Is 25,000 francs, fork over thousand pounds
 The handicapper merely smiled but the weight remained at 122 lbs.
 Gene scratched the horse.

.TUNNEY PAYS CALL
 ON JACK DEMPSEY
New Champion Says Former
 Champ Is a Good Sport

Philadelphia, Sept. 25 E>-Gene , Tunney thinks Jack Dempsey is a 1 good sport" That's what the new worlds heavyweight champion said today in referring to his defeated adversary, after making courtesy call on him last night.
 Tunney spent an hour as Demp- seys guest in the former champions s hotel suite. Arriving at the hotel unexpectedly, Tunney, in charge of 8 bell-hop, was escorted to the ele- vator and upstairs. There, he met Dempsey and Dempsey's wife. the former Estelle Taylor, and Mir. and Mrs, Floyd Fitzsmmons.
 Greeting his foe of the ring with an outstretched hand. which he said was "a bit tender" Tunney express ed the hope that Dempsey was coming along all right"
 Dempsey thrust out his hand and told the new champion he was glad he had come. Taking a seat in the little circle that surrounded the bed upon which Dempsey was resting, the two fighters indulged in an in- innate exchange Of details of their contest.
 T always thought you were a great champion" said Tunney. And want to say now that you are a fine, clean opponent, and fought as clean and game fight as any man who has been in ring. Any man can be proud to have met you in the fight you made"
 Dempsey talked with whole heartedness and an engaging smile that made it difficult to believe that only the night before he had been in 8 desperate battle with his guest.
 He told Tunney of the good wal lops" the former marine had land-

ed, and also mentioned times when Tunney's hard punches had failed to hit the mark. Tunney reminded Dempsey of hard swats and we'll directed blows remarking occasion- al" that he wondered If you felt that as much as I thought you did"
 Dempsey assured his visitor that he would be over the effects of the fight in few days. Dempsey ex- pressed concern about his closed eye, which he said was not healing as rapidly as he thought 1t should.
 Tunney emerged from the Demp- sey suite with a broad smile on his face.
 "Dempseys a fine chap" exclaim- ed the new champion. and I hope he comes around without any trou- ble. We had a good talk about that fight"

He casts the suspicion that with odds at 1 to l a man could collect together s200,000 and bet it on the light and net himself a fortune. Tt could be done" he states.
 Jack Dempsey in that ring Thursday night acted as though he had the least interest in the bout of anyone in the huge enclosure, inso- far as the result was concerned"
 In all justice to Tunney," he states, Tit must be said that he was in no way to blame for the horrible excuse that was passed off on the spectators, and even those who weren't there, as a battle for the heavyweight championship of the world. As a titular clash the bout was terrible. Had the bout been a preliminary with neither of the prin- cipals being well known, the fans would have been shouting; Throw 'enl out, the big bums' There were no knockdowns, hardly any real ef- fective blows and the affair was colorless from the start"
 Some fans" he says, point to the bloody condition of DempSey's face and accounts of the terrific lac ing he took as testimony against any possibility of the bout being anything but on the up and up. However. that enters into the discussion only in a minor way. A black eye will heal In few days and boxing glove scratches and cuts disappear without scars in two weeks. That part of it could easily have been done for ef- feet"

 MT. Dalquist attended the bout in Philadelphia In his capacity as sports editor, and his impressions were taken right from the ringside and press seats.

 He speaks of the fans paying big prices for tickets to the fight and says they expect to get run for their money. But they didn't, neith- CT from the principals in the ring, indictments and those in charge of receiving and dispersing the crowd"
 He continues: Arrangements ill the vicinity of and in the stadium were the worst ever seen at a gath ering of this size, many being on the way back to the center of Philadel- phia for more than two hours"
 In speaking of Dempsey's showing in the ring, he says: How it was possible for man only 3l years old 10 go back so far as to really war rant the exhibition he gave against Tunney Is beyond the understanding of close followers of the boxing game. Dempsey neither smokes or drinks and generally keeps in good condition by frequent workouts and 1 regular exercise.
