CAPLIN HITS
AT DEMPSEY

NEW YORK. May 2.=P-No
kingly head is safe in the cauli-
flower realm when the boys draw
beads and let fly their verbal
brickbats.
Less than eighteen months ago
the fight world sang of Jack Demp-
sey. the old man mauler. Managers
mentioned his duplicate in their
prayers.
About that time, a fight mentor
named E.ymie Caplin nursed his
amateur charge through the ring OF
small clubs about the metropolitan
sector. He was kept busy rustling
cakes and coffee for himself and the
youngster.
Today Dempsey Is just another
fight promoter vieing with a dozen
others for the services of Caplin's
boy. AL Singer. a crack l30-pounder.
Blu. the triumphs Of the man maui
er's ring career so far have not car
ried over into his dealings with
Caplin.
Dempsey thought the manager
agreed TO a match for Singer with
Kid Chocolate, ebony bantamweight
pride of Cuba. under his direction.
Caplin changed his mind and signed
articles with Madison Square Gar
den. Whereupon Dempsey became
wrathy and charged Singer was
afraid Of Chocolate.
Today Caplin answered his one
time idol with a ~levelling blast that
sounds almost like heresy to those
who still picture Dempsey as the
epic figure of the Willard. Firpo and
Carpenter dramas. Caplin's state
ment contained remarks such as
these:
1--WE always respected Dempsey
as a fighter. AS a promoter Of
fights and fighters I do not think
so much of him . He says things
he knows TO be untrue . I could
use a shorter word Dempsey is
absurd when he SAYS Singer is
afraid Of a comparative baby .
it's just his infantile way Of trying
to humiliate me-"

: Wichita Falls took q double bill
from them Sunday. They have
dropped in almost less time than it
takes TO tell it from second place TO
a tie with Fort Worth for fifth. And
the Steers had no intention Of as

Failure Of the Steer pitching staff
to live up TO specifications seems
to be the seat of the difficulty. It is
doubtful that a Texas league club
ever spent more money assembling
talent than did Steer moguls during
the winter, and their efforts were
applauded by the sport scribes of
the state. many Of whom picked
them first and very few OF whom
thought they could finish lower
than third.

tons from at least 80 other penal
Institutions throughout the country.
The data have been assembled by
Bob Barker, executive secretary OF
the commission, by requests to 90

ons in all sections of the country.

to train convicts for useful occupa-
tions and to prevent escapes which
have been numerous at prison
farms.
Letters from two governors also

rible in a quiet neighborhood like
this" Chatty soothed her. And as
she spoke a small closed car came
out Of the alley behind the drug
store.
The arc light on the corner sent
it's rays straight into it and
there sat young Pud, with Ben
Tomlinson beside him.
"Pud! ii ud! Putnam Chatter
toni" his mother called shrilly, as
the car passed her and Chatty.
But neither Pud nor Ben Tomlin-
son heard her, and the car swung
into West River street and sped
away into the darkness. The tai
light became a tiny red spark in
the vast blackneSs Of the night, and
then vanished altogether.
Now, where on earth are they
going, do you suppose?" Mrs. Chat
terton wondered aloud. Eat this
time Of the night? And why didn't
Pud come home? He KNOWS he
ought to be at home, and so does
Ben -Tomlinson!"
It was eleven o'clock before Pud
did come home.
His mother and Chatty saw him
drive up in front of the apartment
houNe in Ben Tomlinson's car, and
saw Tomlinson drive away.
A moment later Pud softly un-
locked the door of the flat and
come in. His blue eyes opened wide
when he saw his mother and sister
sitting in the front room-not read
ing or sewing, but just sitting there,
waiting for him.
Thought you two'd be getting
your beauty sleep!" ne said, and
grined at them. Hot ziggety! Will
you look at Chatty?"
His twinkling eyes took in the
fluffy hair, the pink powder that
covered her face, the bright pink
nails, and the tops of Chatty's
stockings, which had been rolled
for the first time since Chatty had
begun to wear stockings. ga form
