THAT ONE QUESTION

While reporters and cameramen
were knocking unsuspecting pas
sengers out of the way in the wild
scramble to catch the words OF
wisdom from the mouth of the
great man before the train pulled
out, Dempsey entertained young
George Abrams, local middle
weight. Jack remembers his own
climb to the top and is never too
busy to give a promising young
Ster a pat on the back.
Then the question that was on
everybody's lips!
Jack, what do you think Of
Jimmy Adamick?"
(Adamick is managed by Jack
Kearns who piloted Dempsey to
the throne.)
YEAH, HE'S GOOD"
For the first time in the inter
view the old Mauler didn't have a
ready answer. Maybe he was
thinking of Kearns' remarks that
Adamick is a better boxer and
harder hitter than Jack was at a
corresponding period in their ca
reers. Maybe he was thinking Of
Fred Fulton and a quick knock
out; Jess Willard and the title;
Carpenter and Gibbons and Tun-
ney in the rain at Philadelphia;
Tunney at Chicago and that brief
second of glory when Gene was on
Queer Street; Doc KearnS and
money enough to make a tent for
the Dome-plenty of money and
you couldn't spend it fast enough.
They tell me he's a good
boy" Dempsey said slowly. He
scratched the blue-black Stubble
on his chin, swooped a cascad.

forehead and continued: 1--WE

he's good. Yeah, he ought to

How about Max Baer against

Ssverio Turiello? CThis was
put in by Goldie Ahearn who is
employing the Italian in bout
against Charley Lucas next Mon
day.
"Turiello? He's good. Yeah,
he's good"
The train started to move. Flash
lights clicked. Dempsey blinked.
He had been playing pinochle
with his lawyer. There were good
bys. The cards fell. A wild
dash for the door. The Old Man
Mauler was on his way again.
Not on the brakebeams. But in a
cozy compartment. Iced drinks,
expensive cigars, soft cushions.
It's been a long trip, eh, Jack?

Boxing took Jack Dempsey
from the belly of freight train

trip, but the old Manassa Mauler

Dempsey went into a huddle

Ahearn wants to pit Dempsey's

Tokyo, Aug. 1-(AP)-The Japan
csc government tonight rejected on
all counts the protest of the United
States against the destruction of a
Chinese American air liner near Can
ton, south China, by Japanese war
planes on August "a.
The Japanese reply to the protest,
delivered August 26 by Ambassador
Joseph Grew, admitted, however, that
the attack of japanese planes con-
tinued after the air liner had alight-
ed on a small river between Canton
and Macao.
Fourteen persons aboard the plane,
all Chinese, were killed, either by ia
panese bullets or by drowning. The
only American aboard, Pilot H. L.
Woods, of Winfield, Kas., escaped in
jury and two Chinese survived, one
wounded.
(The American note registered "em-
phatic protest" against "the leopard
izing in this way of the lives of Am
orleans, as we'll as toher non-com-

Nearing End
In Knoxville :

Probe Fund About
Gone; To Resume In

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 31.-(AP)--
Harassed by grave doubts" as to
whether its funds would hold out to
permit completion of it's probe, the
congressional IVA probing commit
tee prepared today to close its SEES
sions in the Tennessee Valley with
two more days of hearings.
After recessing next Friday, the
committee will be subject to call by
its chairman, Senator Dohaney, Demo
crat, Ohio, probably in Washington,
il October or November, when factuai
results of it's study by special engi-
neers and auditors will be disclosed,
and some of TWAS sharpest critics
the heads of two principal utility hold
ing companies operating in the valley
area, are expected to be heard.
In view of the fact that Congress
appropriated only $4,000 for its
study-an additional $4,000 having
failed of approval in the rush of the
closing days of the last congressional
session-the investigators are doubt
full that they can complete their en-
tire schedule, but are hopeful of COW
ering the major aspects.
About half of the seven weeks o:
hearings now being concluded on the
scene of the vast economic and socia-
logical experiment, which has already
cost $200,000,000 and is expected to
cost at least twice that, has been
devoted to the feud between the Au-
thority's ousted chairman, DR.. Arthur

tors, David Lilienthal and DR.. Har
court Morgan.
