BILLY 'MAHON
IN D. {, DEBUT

Considered by fight experts of
the town to be more virulent
form of menace to the ambitions
Of the nations leading light
weights, Billy Mcmahon will come
here to show before the local
citizens for the first time next
Monday night.
Mcmahon, product of that
Slam-bang district in New York
known as Hell'S Kitchen, has
been matched for 10 rounds or
less in the wind-up Of the Riding
and Hunt Clubs weekly boxing
show. Goldie Ahearn announced
last night that his opponent will
be Harry Serody, latest of the
young Jewish lightweights, and
the star in Max C"Two Booes'D
Hoff's stable up in Philadelphia.
McMahon has recently returned
to the fight game after laying off
a half dozen months. Since his
return he boasts decisions over
Pete Nebo, Harry Mcnamara,
Johnny Cato, Jose Lombardi and
Andy Divodi, the latter being the
same Divodi who holds a knock
out victory over Ray Bowen. In
his last time out Billy fought q
sizzling draw with Tony Falco.

; They Should Haze Been
In Pictures, and Were
1t Is Better Our Way

my DeForrest telling me how
Dempsey walked the floor be-
fore the Willard fight on Maui
NEE Bay, Toledo.
Hasn't Changed Spots
Like the leopard, the
"Manassa Tiger" doesn't change
his spots. He paced the floor
for willard and for Firpo and
for .Tunney, but I am quite
sure that he is pacing the floor
these nights as he never did
for them.
Tunney slept in his dressing
room waiting for Dempsey at
Philadelphia, while Jack paced
to and fro and to and fro, and
there you have the difference
in the two most famous fighters
of our times. But not such q
great difference as you might
think off-hand, because believe
me when tell you, Tunney was
making himself sleep.
No, the difference in individual
nerve control is, after all, only
a minor difference. And (please
forgive me If / go serious on
YOU'D as saw Tunney present
ing his shower" gift-a box of
whstyoumaycallits plus safety
pinS-I could help but feel that
this is a pretty good country
we live in.
Sure We battle over long
counts and similar trivalties,
and then We forgive and forget
and become fast friends, as
Dempsey and Tunney have be-
come fast friends. Which is so
much better than battling and
killing, as has been happening
over difficulties in other coun-
tries of late.
Not OF course, coming back to
a narrower perspective, that the
long count in Chicago wasn't a
boon to all concerned.
Break of Career
Dempsey never got a better
break in all his bright and
glamorouS career, and never
will. And as for Tunney, it
made him a principal in a fight
that will be discussed Sn long aS
our generation is able to raise
an ear-trumpet.
But I am beginning to talk
like a preacher or a Civil War
veteran, or both. still think
it a great and unmixed bless
ing to live in country in which
a mans religion is his private
and personal business, but what
I was telling you about was this
party of Dempsey.
All the famous ones were
there, including Max Baer, the
actor (some say "no") and
heavyweight champion of the
world. Mr.. Baer was rushing
off to Philadelphia, where he
opens a theatrical engagement
tomorrow. There is every indi-
cation that Champion Baer will
not fight again this season un.
der any conditionS-his book-
tngs are too heavy.

A Party for Jack
AN Right, Too, With.
Gene and Max on Hand

NEW YORK, July 6.-That
was a nice party they gave
Jack Dempsey, the old Manassa
Mauler, last night. Being for
Jack 1t should have been.
! think it was Arthur Kudner,
the advertising man who, when
he was asked:
"HOw do you account for the
fellows (meaning DempSey's)
remarkable popularity"
Replied:
Don't you see he is still a
little boy"
And watching Jack, you were
convinced that Kudner had hit
the answer. In his heart and
largely in his actions, Dempsey
will always be a little boy. AS,
perhaps, aren't we all?
But possibly should tell you
before we go any further, that
this was an anticipation party.
It was also unusual in that it
was the first "Shower''-at least
so far as I know-ever given q
prospective father. Born in the
fertile brain of a press agent,
maybe Lachmann's, it turned
out to be as unusual an affair
as you would wish to attend.
There was, for instance, Papa
Tunney telling prospective Papa
Dempsey something along these
lines:
''N0w, If he cries, don't ham,
per him too much. Remember
babies have to cry, it's great
for. their lungs. So don't try
staying up all night walking
him. YOull spoil him that way.
And don't forget that daddieS,
however proud, have to sleep
some, too.
The voice of experience speak
ing.
Counts on Boy
You will gather from this
that Tunney, like so many
others, is counting on the pros
pective Dempsey heir being a
boy. And, as with those others,
including Jack himself, the
wish with Father" Tunney is
father to the thought. It would
naturally be nicer if it should
turn out that way, because as
Tunney said for the newsreels
at the party:
"Then maybe, Jack, we can
match young Jack with young
Gene and you and can cut i'm
ON another nnilliOn.dOIlar gate"
Which only goes to show that
you can't beat those old fight.
ers for keeping a weather eye
on the gate.
Dempsey was nervous through
this little scene and I could
easily understand that, as he
had previously confided to me:
'Bill, I'm not sleeping SO good
and won't until this all over.
/ don't mind telling you that
I'm worried and this hot wealth
er makes it worse"
The Manassa man, in other
words, is still pacing the floor
nights. I recall poor old jim
