Dempsey Wins
Court Decision
Over Jack Kearns
BY GEORGE H. KIRKSEY
Omitted Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

Y
NEW YORK, April 26,-Jack
Dempsey doesn't owe Jack Kearns,
his former pal and manager, any
thing, jury in federal court has
ruled.
Thus the breach of contract suit
which kearns instituted against
Dempsey in chancery court at At
lantic City Sept. l8, 1926, and which
developed into the most famous le-
gal battle in boxing history, was
terminated with Dempsey the win
ner.
The sum Kearns sought was at
varying times $333, 1888, $701 ,260,
$543,360 and finally $S3, 1888. Ac-
tually, Kearns' suit was for one
third of Dempsey s share in the pro-
posed Dempsey Wills bout, one third
of Dcmpsey's $450,000 purse from
the first Tunney bout, and one third
of the moneys realized by Dempsey
from exhibitions.
After four and a half hours of
dcliberation the jury returned a
verdict answering two questions put
to it by Judge John c. Knox yestcr-
day.
The decision was that Of the con
tract signed between Dempsey and
Kearns at Saratoga Springs in Aug
ust, 1923, was valid contract; but
that the life of the contract was
terminated in July, 1925, by mutual
consent.
Dempsey today once again was
his old, carcfrec self.
