NEW YORK, Feb. II.
WHAT If this Camera carnival
w Of mayhem from New York 70
Oklahoma turns out TO be the pre-
liminary ballyhoo for a Dempsey
comeback! Stranger things have
happened in this game Of strange
happenings. l am not at all sur
prised that the signor with the
exaggerated feet appeals so strongly
to Dempsey who. with the able as
sistance of Estelle Taylor. practically
had made up his mind never TO
ight again. Even a former cham
pion in carpet slippers. sitting by
the fireside of retirement and sur
rounded by every luxury born OF
a prosperous title tenure, would be
tempted back by the paving style
and tremendous box Office pos
sibilities of Camera.
This effort of Dempsey IN match him

TRANCE denouement The proposed fight
may strike a snaE not In The unwilling
ness Of Dempsey to return 10 the wars

the maui merchant of Venice here next
October. Leon See. who handles the Primo
aid rather dubiousIy. II don't know about

GOOD thing in the circus exhibit.
COME of the fight experts around

Lsry as regards the real possibilities
# Signor Camera. but Abe Attell,
Tho is teaching the primo things,
las no illusions about the Italians
present class.
Give him year. don't rush him,
and he'll astonish you" said Attell
recently.
Seemingly, Il Is calculated that in
year Camera will have used up all the
divers, tankers, paIookas and stumble
buns on this continent. Why fight
DEMPSEY when there are Petersons. Mar
lions and lot Of other rife range efigies
TO Be showed over with one load of buck

TN seeking a match with the I'M
l. educated Camera, Dempsey Wis
ions a happier ending than any
closeup Estelle ever put over in the
movies. Jack sees himself stand
ing up smiling along about the third
round, with the Primo playing the
diving gladiator-and about 100000
in . Dempsey sock. Those large,
stationary targets always have IN
triglIed Mr.. Dempsey. The boxing
gentry at times made trouble for
Jack.
But what happened to the diversified
Firpo? And the large willard? And the
elongated fred Fulton? This trio stretched
= total of nearly twenty feet in less than
the grand elapsed time of six rounds oil
fighting. The Camera match Is positive
inspiration on the part of Dempsey The
public would 60 for a Dempsey comeback
even against so untutOred a foe.
DEMPSEY will be IS in June. He
- may have still another fight
in him, If the opponent be no more
formidable than Camera. AS for
the Venetian. victory over
Dempsey would lift linn right into
the title dispute Jim Corbett was
"a when he came back after two
years of easy life in his saloon on
Broadway. and fought twenty-three
rounds with JeffrieS, who was only
IS at the time.
e..
why not Dempsey against Carners-the
alleged relic against the sOcal'ed riot
with John Bingling promoting IT like any
other circus venture? 1t would make
Johns sea elephant look like monkey.
