boIIt with Tunney, anyhow.

3. He refused to sign a statement,
which placed in black mad white
what he previously had affirmed
by word Of mouth: That he was
out of the ring for good.
4. He virtually admitted his story
about bad eyesight was fabrication.
s. He kept "open house" at the
Ambassador far into the night.
This latter is an uncharitable re-
Election on Dempsey's hospitality,
which is above reproach. However,
he doesn't keep open house on his
New York visits as a usual thing; in
fact. the only other time recalled by
the writer occurred when he came
on to sign for the first Tunney fight.
He knew he needed friends then, and.
II he still feels that way, then the
inference il that he isn't certain he
Is through with public life.
No, Jack Dempsey leaves too
many loose ends lying around after
he is finished with his oral surgery.
They may mean nothing beyond the
fact that the man isn't capable Of
making q perfectly good story ring
with conviction. He says he Is out
and he ought to know. And, that be-
ing the case. maybe all of us had
better take his word for 1t, just to
save further annoyance.
