LOS ANGELES, March II. U.D
Jack Dempsey is definitely

This is Jacks own statement.

With the finality that marked
many of his left hooks, JACK an

circle as a fighter. He said ne ieit
that now at nearly 36 years OF age
he could not be at his physical
best were he to try a comeback.
Dempsey once and for all set
tied the dispute that he would re-
turn to the ring if Sharkey was
declared heavyweight champion.
There had been considerable tax
that Dempsey would again seek
the heavyweight crown If Sharkey
was given the title.
Now his ambitions for heavy
weight honors have been thrown
in the discard.
II like this new racket OF rel
ereeing, Dempsey said IN announc-
ing his retirement. ut still gives

He said his calendar for referee

try was booked solid for months

AS referee he is just as success
full from n monetary point of view
as he was a heavyweight champion.
He is making approximately Sl75,-

Ring fans have been kept in

FRENCH TENNIS
STARS MAY JOIN
RANKS OF PROS
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

o
NEW YORK, March 12. U.P) -
Jacques Curley-that irrepresSible
impressario who has promoted
everything from wrestling to grand
opera-today loomed as a danger
Gus menace to France s hope OF re-
tanning the Davis cup, prized inter-
national tennis trophy.
Not that Curley plays tennis. IN
fact, he never has had a racquet IN
his hands except for publicity photo
graphs and it is extremely unlikely
that he could tell q foot fault from
a head rest.
However. Mons. Curley has dis
covered that professional tennis
provides an opportunity TO add 10
his income from wrestling promo
tions and he is planning inroads on
France S amateur talent.
Three OF France s best amateurs
jean Borotra, Christian Boussus
and Pierre Landry-are in New York
for competition in the United States
indoor championships and interna-
tional team matches. Curley has
opened negotiations to secure the
trio as members of his professional
troupe which already includes Zig
Bill Tilden, Francis T. Hunter and
karel Kozeluh.
II he is successful, France can save
both time and effort by defaulting
the Davis cup. Two other French
stars, Rene LaCoste and Jacques
Bruenon. are out of competition be-
cause OF appendicitis operations.
Henri Cochet would be the only TOD
ranking French star left to defend
the cup and even though he heads
international rankings Cochet could
not successfully defend the cup by
himself.
In addition to his efforts to sign
the French stars for a professional
tour, Curley is endeavoring to ar
range world s professional cham
pionship series between Vincent
Richards and Bill Tilden. Tiden
and Richards conferred yesterday
with the promoter offering Richards
$4,000 for series against Tilden at
Madison Square Garden in May.
Richards held out for S25, 900 but it
is expected that a compromise Will
be reached today.
