n YEW YORK, January 9.--Jack
nj Dempsey is expected to an
VI nounce definitely tomorrow he
L has decided to carry out Tex
Richards wish that he return
to the ring this year in an attempt to
regain the heavyweight championship
Of the world.
At first perhaps inclined to give up
all thought OF comeback, as a result
of the shock Of losing the man who
played so big a part in shaping his
lighting destiny, Dempsey now seems
to think that he could do nothing more
appropriate than carry on as the pro-
moter would have wished. His feeling
perhaps is that with Richards passing
it is more binding upon him than
before to carry out the promoters de-
sire that he fight once more.
Unless there Is q shake-up in the
program, this means Dempsey's next
and probably last fight will take place
at the Yankee Stadium some time IN
September, more than 10 years after he
won the heavyweight title from Jess
Willard and three years, to the month,
after he lost 1t to Gene Tunney.
His opponent will be selected, II
Richards we'll laid plans go through,
from an elimination process involving
four men. Two of them, Young Stribling
and Jack Sharkey. will fight the first
test match at Miami Beach February ~
in a bout which will find Dempsey in
a promoters role for the first time.
Pauline Uzcudun and Tom Heeney,
unless the latter decides not to COM
pete, will meet in a second elimination
contest in May, the winner to box the
victor of the Sharkey-Stribling match
to decide Dempsey's opponent.

Champions of many sport have had

solemn dignity.
Under the fioodlights which usually
illuminate the Gardens boxing ring the
dead promoter lay in his casket almost

Two attendants at the Garden took UP
their all-night vigil beside the body OF

and I began to feel lonely. Unless
the stars shining so brightly as to look
like electric light bulbs, and heard the
piercing scream of wolf, you have no
idea how it can make your hair stand
on end. No sound carries such terror
as the Shrek of a wolf on the hunt.

AS set there with a tingling at the
roots of my hair, realizing my utter
loneliness, the poor cowboy died. Then
I had TO sit up with his body the live
long night. The nearest to company 1
got was the occasional moo of COW
whose calf was being sought by the
wolves.
Toward midnight the wolves came
closer. I set the lantern in the door OF
the tent, now really a morgue. In a
semi-circle I could see the gray forms
of the wolves, and occasionally the light
reflected in their eyes. grew into an
old man that terrible night. can

I did what any other cattleman
would have done, though. 7 got rifle
and sat waiting, ready to protect my

old. The thought of the now dead man
with me was almost as horrible as the
presence of the wolves outside.
The cowboys did not return with the
doctor, no longer needed, until after 6

GARDEN LOST $685. 900
IN LAST HALF OF 1928

NEW YORK, January 8 R.-
Madison Square Garden suffered a
net loss Of nearly S235,000 for the six
months ending November 80, pub
lished financial reports reveal. The
actual loss was $233,121, compared
with o net profit of $751; for the
same period Of 1927.
For the quarter ending November
30, the garden showed net profit
of S75,327, compared to a net profit
Of $S19,912 for the same period in
1927.
The losses can be attributed to the
Mandell- McLarnin bouts to arouse
the popular interest that the Demp-
sey-Tunney and Dempsey-Sharkey
bouts did in 1927.

ing all taste for the ring racket.
This would render the prospective
"elimina tons scheduled to get un-
der way, with StribIing opposed to
Sharkey and with such unimpres-
sive performers as Heeney, UEcudun
and Risko in the background, . sad
spectacle at best

On the other hand, the fact that
Richard had made arrangements
for his return to the ring may
cause Dempsey to regard the
agreement he made to do so as a
pledge-the fulfillment of the wish
of his departed big brother and
counselor.
Fight fans Of all degrees in
every sector naturally will hope
the latter proves to be the case.
1t is assured the game needs
such a colorful and compelling
figure as the ManaSsa Mauler to
breathe new life into it, for it pos
seSses none other-not in the
heavyweight class, at least.

NEW HAVEN BIRTHS
 SHOW GREAT DROP
EuSeniCS Head Attributes De-
 crease to Birth Control

New Haven, Dec. 19 (UP)-A re- ported decrease of 40 per cent in the birth rate of New Haven during the last years shows that people are learning more about and practic- ing birth control" Leon r. Whitney. executive secretary of the American Eugenics society, said here today.
 Whitney pointed out that the pop ulatlon of New Haven has increased from 15S,0G7 to 190,S47 since 1918.
 Under these conditions" he said. "onc would expect to find G140 births If the birth rate of 1918 were main- talned. AS q matter of fact. it has dropped to 5071, which therefore shows an actual decrease of 40 per cent in proportion to the population.
 "What,' inquired Whitney, "has brought this about? Statistics show marriages have decreased but this does not account for all the decrease in the birth rate. I can zee no other explanation that that people are learning more about and practicing birth control"
 Whitney was one of the ladders in the fight before the last legistla- ture to repeal present statutes for bidding dissemination of birth con- trol information in Connecticut

 BULLET GROOVES

 Burke'S Young Arsenal

Chicago, Dec. 19 (P}-Science's microscopic eye enlarged the grooves of bullets today to determine if Fred Burke, killer and kidnapper, played the leading role in the St. Valentines day massacre-most lurid of the murder dramas attributed 10 his trigger finger.
 Major Calvin Goddard, New York hallistic expert, continued today his scrutiny of the machine gun found in the arsenal at Burie's lake front home in St. Joseph, Mich, to learn if it were the same that fired the bullets found in the bodies of the seven Moran gangsters. The study is not expected to be completed until tomorrow at the earliest.
 Meanwhile the search for the re- puted arch criminal-who killed Po- Iceman Charles Skelly of st. Jo- seph's last Saturday, after a minor traffic argument-was extended to include a possible hidcaway with Ca nadian rum runners.
 Patrick Roche, investigator for the states attorney. had predicted yes terday that Burke would be captured in Chicago by nightfall-but the man whom Detroit police said made a million in ransoms, thousands more in bank robbories, and had killed at least a dozen persons, was still the object of nationwide search.

 The hearing came to an end yes terday after d l ty of argument by counsel for both s,Ges, and Judge Dehy took the ease under advise ment.
 Newton D. Baker. chief of coun sel for Mrs. Mccormick, in his clos ing argument, referred to McCor- mick's personal physician as this man who secs sex in everything, and said "al that anybody knows of the real treatment of Dr, kcmpf is that every day he talks two hours with the rationr regarding the sick mans desires and dreams"
 Baker argued that neither of the two physicians now in direct charge Of the invalid's Casc-Dr Kemp: and Dr. William X. White of Wash ington, D. C., consultant-had held out any hope on the witness stand for eventual recovery of the patient
 Prom the beginning of the rec ord until now there has not been one solitary suggestion as to any change of treatments except from the wife, Baker said.
