the leading men last night j. F. Doyle
is the first member of the old school
to crash the select group. He totaled
COZ last night to tie for tenth place
with Oscar Oehler. The veteran gave
the youngsters some idea as to how
good he was in his prime when he
topped of the evenings program with
a 159 game.
But one other contestant was able to
rain a place among the leaders last
night. Louis Pantos of the National
Capital League got $50 even to 60 into
a deadlock with l.. N. Hevener for

He reiterated that statement
weeks afterWard, but subsequently
allowed as how he might be
tempted back for one more shot at
fame and fortune. And since the

retirement of his two-time con-
queror DempSey'S name has been
used in connection with impend~
ing fiStic operations with such
freedom as to warrant the belief
that his tacit consent to the pro-
cedure was not withheld.
AS stated above we believe Dempsey
hasn't been able to make up his mind
on the subject. but there some peril
nent considerations that may or may
not have bearing on his middle-of-
the-fence attitude.
1t is noteworthy, for instance, that
the line by Jack Dempsey" is appear
| ing over series of Syndicated articles
appearing in newspapers throughout the
length ard breadth of the land. Would
these stories have as much value if their
author were definitely removed from the
| fight picture?
Also, following the failure Of his
attempt to elevate the spoken drama,
Jack divulged that he is figuring on
lending his classicalIy remade pro-
file to another cellulOid venture.
Again the question: Would Dempsey,
through as y ringman, have as great
box office appeal in reel romance
as Dempsey, in active training intent
upon regaining the fistic heights he
once knew?
But-there's more. Jacks old friend,
George L. Rickard, is going ahead with
plans for another of his elimination
Journeys even as he Is recuperating from
the annoying process of having his ap-
pendix hurriedly yanked.
SharlEey and Stribling are supposed

What does Dempsey care about the
successor lack of it-attending Rick
ards promotorial affairs?
Well, it was Tex who provided the
settings that enabled Dempsey to buy
hotel properties and racing stable on
the Coast and TO enter the charmed
circle of several hundred millionaires
who own, control and operate that mint
of the sports industry--Madison Square
Garden.

has contributed greatly to preven-
ton Of this disease also, he said.
Other physicians who talked at
the session. DR.. McCracken Of
Mineral Wells. DR.. T. j. McCamant
Of FL Paso, and others, discussed
mainly the subject of communi-
cable diseases and immunization
and prevention Of the spread Of
such diseases.
DR.. McCamant and other speak
ers agreed in the opinion that
fumigation of houses or premises
as a preventative OF di- Stheria and
most other diseases is "bumcomb
and a joke" DR.. King in speaking
later on this subject said that tests
conducted ver a period of rcars
have proved conclusively that the
gases used in fUmigation will not
destroy the germs Of these dis
eases. Ordinary cleanliness. boil
ing of sheets and clothes. and iso-
lation were advocated as the best
methods Of precaution to keep from
catching the diseases. except i'm
munization by the use Of toxin and
anti-toxin.
DR.. McCamant, speaking Of cpl
denies of smallpox, typhoid. diph-
iberia, ETC.. voiced the belief that
there will always be mild epidemics
Of these diseases. because OF per-
sons coming in FROM Mexico. hut
said they have reached a state in
FL Paso and surrounding territory
where a serious epidemic Is not
possible.
Smallpox "Milder"
He said that fumigation Is no
longer practiced generally, and Is Of
practically no value.
The statement that smallpox Is
becoming milder and milder was
made by DR.. McCracken. who ex-
pressed the belief that this Is due
largely to the transmission Of i'm
munization from parents to the
child. Smallpox is no longer the
dread disease that Il was formerly"
he said. "and. In fact. IL Is becom-
ing so mild that / have known of
many competent physicians who
have mistaken cases Of smallpox
for chicken pox."
The morning session OF the
health doctors was concluded with
a general discussion Of diphtheria
immunization. a number OF the
rO1fNfv and cffv haoIfh nfffrnru
telling OF their experiences In cam
paignS OF immunizaticn.
The health doctors emphasized
the statement that unfortunate re-
actions from toxin anti-toxin such
as occurred IN several cities years
ago m no longer possible because
Of United States inspection Of the
anti-toxin. and stated that those
instances Of the past should not be
used as a reason for persons refus-
