DEMPSEY HOLDS
LOW OPINION OF
JACK SHARKEY

SALT LAKE CITY. Dec %. UP,
Jack Dempsey wants to take on
the Chicago fish peddler. King
Levinsky, and Johnny Risko, the
Cleveland baker boy. And if he
fights for the worlds champion
ship he would like to abandon the
trades and take on the Lithuanian
tar, Jack Sharkey.
The Manassa Mauler, returned
from the wars and the one-night
stands against the prides of q
score of towns to spend Christmas
with his mother here, so delivered
himself upon arrival.
Il want TO take on some Of theSe
better boys, he said. Good COM
petion is what I need
Dempsey, whose terrific punching
power made him one of the most
popular fighters the ring has ever
known, revealed that the old punch
it not at its best.
Il can take them. This trip has
proven that to me. None of those
boys could hurt me-but I couldn't
flatten them the way I wanted to-
I think it's a question Of a little
more training"
Dempsey. who never has been
particularly fond of Sharkey, de-
clared the eX-gob to be the set-up
of the contemporary crop OF
heayies.
IF 1 had my choice he's the
fellow I'd ike to meet Jack said.
"Sharkey never could take a punch
and now he's soft. He even had
Camera down and couldn't keep
him there. The only punch he
ever had was a left hook and l
rather imagine it is not so much
now. If Sharkey hadn't fouled
Schmeling the champ would have
knocked him out"
Dempsey will leave Salt Lake
Saturday for a short visit in Reno,
and then will return to Chicago
TO resume his campaign. Fighting
scond raters. he revealed, was quite
a financial success.

"Pitchmen are not roofers, as the
name might indicate, but they are the
tradespeople who have graduated from

vendors who did business along the

Scared Of Mushrooms.

One Of the most nourishing vianda
to be found In the fields is the mush-
room, and while they are rather lib
orally consumed. there are many per-
sons who will not risk eating them for
fear Of mistaking the poisonous toad
stool for the edible mushroom.
But 1t Is rare that one hears Of O
man dying through experimenting with
foods Yet 1t happened the other day.
A famous expert on mushrooms, NJ
Coffin, died of mushroom poisonin9.
This Frenchman was probably the
greatest living expert on muslafcemS,
and wrote a book on his pet subject.
He was also careful TO illustrRks the
book with pictures showing mushrooms
that could be eaten with safety and
those that were dangerous Apparently
M. Coffin discovered a mushroom that
he had not listed. He ate 1t to make
sure and died.
Most Of the mushrooms consumed In
this part Of the country are perfectly
safe. They are grown in houses espe-
cially built for the purpose, and it Ia
not possible for any mistake to be made
in this instance. The great mushroom
market Of this country is Southeastern
Pennsylvania. They are shipped by the
trainload almost daily from the vicinity
OF Kenneth Square, near Media.

ance among these ginger topers. It be-
came known as ginger paralysis" or

the cause of ginger paralysis has been

afflicted thousands Of victims, Is not
caused by ginger at all. but by COM
pound known to Oh amists as tri-ortho
cresyl phosphate. This chemical is the
main constituent of technical tricresyl
phosphate, which IS widely used in
trade circles, especially in the manu-
facture of varnishes, shellacs and SINH
