Philadelphia
Crowds Acclaim Him
But recently they took him back to
their bosoms. It must have astound-
ed the black-visagcd Dempsey when
ne heard the roar that greeted him
at the Yankee stadium. We were
sitting in his corner ut the time. He
looked up, actually startled, He
could hardly believe it was for him.
He thought something had happened
- that someone had entered the
ring besides himself.
OF course part of that demonstra-
ton at the stadium was a Sian at
Sharkey. The crowd wanted to see
the cocky sailor silenced.
But Dempsey will get plenty Of
cheers instead Of jeers when he pops
his raven bean through the Chicago
hemp. 1t may not be as pronounced
as the demonstration for the Manly
Marine.
After all, the intelligent and quiet
fan really has nothing but
respect and admiration for the clean
living, close-mouthcd athlete who is
our present champion. He is GER
tainly the finest type of man We have
ever had wearing the purple toga.
And then, too, it seems there are
any number of people in Chicago
who own a book or two-and think
nothing Of It.

Formal invitations for the three.

PARIS. March 24.-The European
political pot, suddenly heated by the
Anglo-Russian tensions, continues to
boil furiously.
Recognition by Italy of Rumanian
annexation of Bessarabia from Russia
was a decided British success. The
Soviets are sending Rome a strong
note of protest.
But now the Russians have scored
a success perhaps even more impor-
tant. Dispatches from Riga announce
that a Russian-Latvian pact is all but
complete. Under this pact Latvia
promises TO remain neutral toward
Russia in all circumstances, thereby
contravening Latvia's solemn engage
ments under the League of Nations
covenant.
Effects May Reach Far.
This treaty is the first breach the
Soviets have been able to effect in the
United Baltic front formed several
years ago among Finland, Esthonia
and Latvia, under British auspices.
The pact may have far-reaching po-
litical consequences.
Russia, also by way of countering
Great Britain. announces it will re-
sumo debt negotiations with France.
Great Britain's effort to reconcile
