Whether Dempsey will work out in
public tomorrow. | do not know, hut
am certain from what he said today
that he will go on with his training
somewhere, not in secret" mind you,
but in comparative quiet, away from
the pay" crowd that undoubtedly
will be on hand to see him in action.
Dempsey shows great mental
gameness in his actions of today.
While his Brother John was always
far from a success in life. neverthe-
less, the former champion had deep
affection for him and extended help
ing hand to him for several years
Jack stood up remarkably well under
the mental shock, 1t would take the
heart out of any ordinary person and
vet Dempsey said through frightened
jaws that he would carry on with his
training.
1T is the best thing 1 can do" he
declared grimly,
Whatever else we may say of
Dempsey, there is not, and there never
was. any question of his remarkable
gameness. Not only did he demon
strate this under fire in Philadelphia
last September, but he is again Civ
ing evidence of it right now.

the ring.

have to have reserve energy when
you go into this fight. That's what
was the matter with you the last
time. You were out there every day
trying to show off before the crowd

That Is the reason I'm not taking

By Cable to The Star

By Cable to The star
LONDON. July The death to-
day of Frank Curzon, owner of Call
Boy. winner of the English Derby
month ago. did not surprise his
friends. Many thought he would die
OF excitement when his horse won
and 1t was believed he kept himself
alive prior to the race only by force
of will that was spurred by desire to
see Call Boy run.
When he went to EPSON Downs he
insisted on leading his horse in the
way prescribed by tine-honored Gus
tom. but his hand was so weak he
dropped the bride and collapsed.
He won $3,000.0O0 in bets on that
race and it has been an open secret
In gambling circles that he was really
betting he would live until Derby day.
Under the rules. horse must be
scratched if his owner dies before the
race.

Jack was all unnerved when he en-

Sharkey Is Confident.
Sharkey, by this gesture of confident
Indifference. silently proclaims that he
is sure he will have no trouble with
Dempsey. The question is, whether
Sharkey actually is Indifferent and
willing to spot Dempsey this extra
training time, or whether the Boston
heavyweight is merely playing polk

This would make this the greatest

the fact remains that you can't always
