remarked Dempsey the promoter
when he called on me today. Il am
going to try to make it so attrac-
tive that the public will want to go
for it."
Dempsey speaks of the public
these days with great tenderness
and affection. He says he wants to
give the common people a break. I
am beginning to suspect he's got
political aspirations.
I'm not going to charge more
than SO for my highest priced
seat" says the promoter, "and I
am going to be sure to have plenty
of 50 seats. I believe in taking care
of the little fellow"
The promoter also confdes that
he plans a radical innovation in
sports promotion. He is going to
try to peddle his show without
