FAT BIT FOR bAER,
DEMPSEY INSISTS
Pilot Says Charge Must Get
More Than 12l2 Per Cent
Cut for Carnera Go.
TACK DEMPSEY. adviser il

JACK DEMPSEY, adviser in
chief of Max Baer g. Co.,
~ today was in New York for
conference with Jimmy
Johnston, but not before he drop
ped a couple of strong hints to
local newspaper men did he pull
up stakes in Washington this
morning in an attempt to hurry
the making of Baer-PrimO
Camera heavyweight champion
ship match.
For one thing Dempsey. with Ancil
Hoffman and Baer Ginning in har-
moniously. declared that Baer will not
accept the usual challenger's end of the
purse, which is 1912 per cent.
Despite these differences with Jimmy
Johnson's general line of thought.
Dempsey declared he hoped to tie up
with the Madison Square Garden Cor
poration, which has Camera under
contract, in staging the bout. If there
is nothing doing, though, the old
Manassa Mauler, may stage the fight
under his own promotion.
CARNERA'S contract with Madison
Square Garden runs out Septem-
ber 80. it was explained. and
Dempsey asserted he would be willing
to wait until early October to stage the
scrap.
What Dempsey accomplishes in his
conference with Johnston during the
next couple of days may decide Baer's
status during the next year. II the
former heavyweight champion and the
Garden matchmaker come to terms,
Baer probably will fulfill his vaude-
vile engagements and depart for Cali
fornia, where he owns ranch, to
train
ing the bout solely under the pro-
motion of Madison Square Garden 1t Is
possible Baer may trek to Hollywood
for another picture.
This latter idea, though, does not
set we'll with Dempsey. This is no
business tor a fighter" Jack told his
young charge backstage of Loew's Fox,
where Baer is making a personal ap-
pearance. "It's good money, but I
advise you to get out of it.
Whatever the outcome of his confab
with johnson in New York. Dempsey
wants Baer to resume action in the
ring.
There is good business in the fight
game now" asserted the greatest fight
ing machine of 'em all. land you'd
better get back into it. Fight I,evinsky,
Hamas, Neusel. Impellitiere and Lough-
ran-get into shape"
~ AER listened to Jacks outburst with
X a meekness belying his standing
in the caulifower profession.
When Dempsey referred to dark circles
under Baer's eyes, Max grabbed mir
ror to ascertain for himself. What he
thought about it was not revealed, for
he said little while Dempsey had the
floor, drinking in every word.
As for the Carnera- Tommy Loughran
bout scheduled for Florida, Dempsey
declared he believed Loughran stands a
chance to outlook the Colossus from
Italy.
"Loughran is smart. He'll never hurt
Primo, but he's a sweet boxer and a
good long shot,"

TURF SEEN LIKELY
TO REcOUP LOSSES
Head of Racing interests
Confident Tracks Will
Recover This Year.
BY COL. MATT ]. WINN,

BY COL. MATT j. WlNN,
President, American Turf Association.
@HICAGO, January with
the American people gen.
~ orally more optimistic, the
new year promises that
the racing associations of the
Nation will have a successful
season and that the losses Of 1888
will be recouped.
This will be brought about by the
necessary adjustment in the value Of
stakes and purses. The race-loving
public will profit by further economics
that will be carried out.
The outstanding feature of the 1888
turf season was the increase in the
number of States legalizing racing under
the pari-mutuel system. While the ap-
parent result of this will be too much
racing. the turf will profit bv securing
a wider public support and the breeders
will find new market for their
thoroughbreds with an increase over
the low prices that prevailed in the past
year.
Another impressive result of the 1888
racing was the fact that practically
every track in America. with only
few exceptions. finished loser on the
wear. This was inevitable because
their Various jockey clubs found it i'm
possible to reduce the value or cancel
any of the rich fixed stakes and so had
to accept the situation and face
certain deficit.
While the attendance kept up sur
prisingly. the betting was the lightest
in several years. The upturn came too
late to keep the tracks out Of the red
on 1888.
The Spring racing season in the West
will open at Churchill Downs April %
and the Kentucky Derby will be run on
Saturday, May S. There is assurance
that every first-class 3-year-old will be
entered and that the classic will
measure up to its best traditions
