Boxing fans, who have been get

They will also have the opportu-

is extremely bad for the health.
There is no intention to convey
the impression that Dempsey is a
plug-ugly. On the contrary. he has
always been an easy going fellow
except when he was at work in the
ring as q contestant.
Although f fighting champion, he
was one of the most unpopular mer
ever to hold the title. It took two
pastings from Gene 'Tunney to GIVE
the fans the right slant on Dernp.

ure in the sports world today, top.
