That Possible

Atlantic City, n. j.. Sept. 2.-dP
Jack Dempsey was eager today for
work after "a 24-hour vacation.
With Martin Burke, the gangling
New Orleans light heavyweight, in
service as q sparrinv partner. Demp-
5ey expects to put more snap in his
boxing. The addition of Burke to
the staff gives Dempsey another
capable shock absorber besides Bill
Tate and Charlie Anderson, negro
heavyweights.
Burke proved himself Of valuable
aid to Dempsey when the champion
trained here five years ago for his
match with Georges Carpenter.
Burke. weighing III pounds. is built
on the order of Bob FitZsimmons. He
is = good defensive boxer and also
capable Of throwing a few punches.

ing the champion with friendly gaze
and smiling his most ingratiating
smile.
But it was not an easy matter to
get Dempsey to commit himself, and
even when he did promise Gibson
that he would fight Tunney in 1926,
providing he got half million for
his end, Gibson wasn't sure he meant
il.
AS recen. as last March Gibson
was positive Dempsey would never
fight again.
Hes just clowning around. 1t we
are to get big fight next summer
it will have to be Wills and Pm not

ney were still there. Tunney decided
TO take the matter Of getting a match
with the champion in his own hands.
Thought Dempsey Cut" Him
He called at Dempsey's hotel.
Dempsey wasn't in. He phoned
Dempsey's rooms. Dempsey wasn't
in. He sat down in Dan Mahoney's
editorial office in the Miami News
building and sent the CHAMPION this
wire:
Il want to talk to you for five
minutes. Please let me know when
and where l can see you"
Dempsey ignored the wire and left
Miami that night. | met Tunney the
next day. He was boiling mad. He
stayed boiling mad for days.
A snarling hostility replaced his
characteristic geniality. There was
something mighty close to murder in
his eyes.
murmured to myself, "And they
say this bird can't get mad!"
Tunney hadn't expected that Demp-
sey would pick up the nearest pen
and promptly sign the papers but he
did expect that he would at least
sit down and talk over the prospects
Of bout between them.
Tunney seemed to think Dempsey
had deliberately "cut" him, choosing
this crude means to remind him that
he was the great Dempsey and that
Tunney was merely one Of the sew
eral eager challengers.
an make the bum pay for this"
growled Tunney as he drove me over
to R0oney's Plaza for surf swim.
"Some day he will have to fight me
and when he does / will knock his
head from his shoulders. Mark my
words"
Well, that day Tunncy talked about
last spring with such intense fury
will come on September % at Phila-
delphia
And if Tunney enters the ring as
boiling mad as he was the day saw
him in Florida he may do exactly
what he said he would.

As a somewhat unnecessary gesture
it was decided that one more battler
should be broiled and siZzled on the
griddle Of the baliyhoo while the
pop-eyed public looked on through
the medium of newspaper headlines.
Three months after the knock out
of Tommy Gibbons it was announced
that Gene Tunney would meet Bart
ley Madden in "A Hereunder at Min
neapolis. Now Madden had only one
thing TO promote him as an oppon-
ent for Tunney. He had gone IL
rounds with Harry Wills in 1924.
The Tunney ballyhoo had already
taken on definite and impressive
dimensions. Carpenter had been
stopped. True. Tunney wasn't able
to stop him in four rounds as Demp-
sey had. but his victory was emphatic
just the same.
and filed away for future reference
in IL rounds. That was much better
than Dempsey had done. Whereas
Tunney had scored clean cut knock
out, Dempsey had failed to put Glib
bons down even once in 10 rounds.
Only BARLEY Madden Remained
This exhausted the list Of logicals
with the exception Of the aforemen-
toned Madden.
"Now the thing to do" reasoned
Billy Gibson, lis to get Madden and
knock him out quick. That will con-
vince the public we are entitled to
shot at Dempsey ahead Of Wills"
1t was good reasoning, and for pur-
poses Of the ballyhoo undoubtedly
had some effect. But Madden came
into the ring in terrible shape. He
hadn't done any boxing for two
months and looked it. On top of
that a report that Madden had been
paid $4,000 by the Tunney interests
to GENE out Of retirement gained
wide circulation and no little Gre
dence.
The unflustcred Gibson laughed
this off. "What will it cost US to
get Dempsey to come out Of retire
men.,' he countcred. lies the Jas
per we're after"
Dempsey at the time was begin
ming transforming tour with Farm
er Lodge, Marty Cutler and several
other well-fed round heels.
The tour was designed to meet two
demands. One was to yield some
immediate currency, Of which the
champion was in acute need, and the
other was to reaccustOm Dempsey
to the routine business of the ring.

Gibson caught up with the Demp-

and then in Miami.
