Boxer Becomes Real Artist
at Juggling Figures Since
Leaving kearns
X NO VS. HIS BUSINESS
Says He's Going to Make Inn
prCvements When Bout With
Tunney Is Done
BY DAN THOMAS

Los Angeles, Calf, Aug. 90
(NEA)-It doesn't seem quite right
to describe Mr.. William Harrison
"Jaek" Dempsey with anything ex-
'cept fighting words these days-but
that's just what is going to happen
in this story.
When he gets out Of fighting togs
and into street clothes, this same
Dempsey is quite the busiest bust
ness man in Los Angeles. In fact,
during his short sojourn here after
he had administered sleeping pow
der to Jack Sharkey of Boston,
Dempsey didn't have five minutes
that he really could have called his
own.
Can Juggle Figures
Jack has become real artist at
Juggling figures since he and doc"
kearns chose different highways.
Besides being kept pretty busy on
financial arrangements for his COM
ing scrap with the worlds champion,
Gene Tunney, Jack had to put his
Barbara hotel back .on it's feet again.
The Barbara is more than bust
ness enterprise to Jack-it's much
treasured pet. The writer sometimes
believes that Dempsey cares more
for the Barbara than he does for the
leather mitts. When he arrived here
from New York, Jack stopped at the
hotel to see how things were going
even before he dashed home to his
sick wife, Estelle Taylor.
Jack spent most Of his. time around
the hotel when he wasn't training
And he certainiy>,turned things up
side down..
"That's the way things always "a
"These fellows think that as long as
the place shows a profit nothing else
matters. II they had their way we
would be in the red in short order
When l come back after the Tunney
fight, I'm going to let about half the
employees go and get new help
Perhaps that will improve condi-
tions. 1t costs money. to fire people
though, because it takes time ia
break in new ones to fill their
places" i. 80 .4sfs. a
Does Alnost Anything
When Dempsey was around the
hotel, he could be- seen ,doinp almost
anything from playing bell-hop. tx
instructing the chef how to run q

kitchen with Jack one day when hi
found some dirt on the stove. HI

ate" Dempsey remarked as he was
going through his mail 4 little later
THAT will slow, down business
quicker than anything else, and al
long as l own this hotel. it. is going
to make money"
That's Jack all over. He is thu
most liberal man l have ever known
with his friends and family, but
| whether he's fighting or running thu
hotel, he is doing it to make money
