Still Fascinating

The Dempsey of today is still
a fascinating figure. AS part
owner and host at the chop
house that bears his name, he
has slipped into the Broadway
poStcrash scene and has be-
come one Of the landmarks Of
the city.
You will see very few Of the
Broadway regulars there except
on fight nights at the Garden
after the show is over, when
the fight-writers and some Of
the Broadway mob drop across
the street for a glass Of beer
and to find out what Jack
thought of the outcome Of the
match. The clientele consists
mostly of out-of-towners who
have come to see in the flesh
the man whose breath-taking
and fictionlike career they have
been living for the last 18 years.
They shake his hand, pat his
broad back and take home one
Of the red and gold menus with
his picture and his autograph
on it.
If he knows you it will be:
Hello, pally. Glad to see you.
How's my old pardner? Sure,
I can find room for you"

Over 100 Jumpers
In Annual Ski Meet

CHICAGO, Jan. 13 G.NSD.
More than 100 jumpers. the largest
field ever entered, will compete
Sunday in the Norge Ski Clubs
thirty-third annual tournament at
Cary, H., it was announced to-
day.
Outstanding among the per-
formers are Olaf Ulland and
r elder Anderson, of Norway.
Ulland holds the world record for
the longest jump of 336 feet and
Anderson has won the interna-
tional event at Holmenkollen in
Norway three times.

perate battle gage. but as our
hearts and not our heads reckon
those things, it would have been
glorious. In his place, Dempsey
would have done it and would
have been knocked out as Tun-
ney would have been. Tunney
continued to run backwards, re-
covered, won the fight and re-
tained his championship. And
from his second losing encounter
with the ex-Marine, Dempsey
emerged the greatest and most
beloved popular sports hero the
country has ever known-a title
that, curiously. his greatest vic
tories never won for him.

Accused of Foul Fighting

Dempsey is accused by many
of having been a foul fighter,
and the same is fervently denied
by the Dempseymaniacs. In
point of fact, under the strict
Interpretation of the modern
rules of ring combat, he was a
foul fighter, rough, anxious to
hurt, and careless of his
punches. But psychically Demp-
sey actually never was a foul
battler, because in his simple
way he recognized no headlines
on the body of his opponent and
certainly asked for none to be
enforced upon his. He also knew
that such SNUG divisions as
fair" and foul" cannot be
made Of the word fight" nor
are they properly applicable as
adjectiveS.

Another Match?

It's worth a hundred grand
outdoors next summer. And
that's pretty good in a game
where they pay off on the ant
eater and not on the ants.
Make Baer would like an
other whack at the champ and
so would the other challengers.
Louis means a 100000 gate
any time he steps out on the
retaliatory rostrum.
Farr made the best showing
against the champ. If he looks
good tonight he will probably
get another match. Which may
mean that Burman figures the
same way.
It's an all-heavyweight menu
at the Garden tonight and
bodies will be hurting through
the air from all angles. The
roadbed will take bad beating
from the heavy traffci and may
be closed for repairs during
rounds. When a heavyweight
falls he makes the ring floor
look like the bottom Of an ele-
vator shaft.

He hasn't won a fight in
America. But he's more popular
than sugar on strawberries.
And rightly so. He's got more
courage than a fellow waiting
for a forest fire to catch up to
him so he can light his pipe.
We all admire courage in the
other man. Tommy fought three
world champions and only
Make Baer dumped his apple
cart. But he got up and was
tottering around at the finish
of the round like an embezzled
penguin.
If he gets by Red Burman in
the Garden tonight they say
he will get another scramble
with Joe Louis. A fight like
that is as good as a private
tunnel under Fort Knox.

Two Gigantic Fights

Dempsey's entire reputation
was based, actually, on two
fights, the one in which he
knocked out gigantic Jess Will
lard at Toledo, to win his cham
pionship, and the thrilling, alta
vistic brawl with Luis Angel
Firpo, the big Argentine. at the
Polo Grounds in New York, Sep
tember %, 1923. But they were
sufficient, for they marked
Dempsey as a giant-killer, a
slayer of ogres. And it is in
teresting to note IN connection
with this that DempSey's pc
riod of unpopularity, even
though he was branded a
Stacker during the war, really
dates from the day in 1921
July 2, to be eXact-when he
knocked out the Frenchman,
Georges Carpenter, at Boyle's
Thirty Acres, in Jersey City, in
four rounds. Carpenter was
hardly more than a heavy mid
dleweight. And he was war
hero. This fight also marked
the first Of the million-dollar
gates.

False History

False History
John L. Sullivan, the Boston
Strong Boy, was reputedly the
most popular heavyweight
champion of all times. but this
is not so, because in Sullivan'S
day priZefighting was neither
respectable nor widespread in
its appeal. 1t was long before
the days of Tex Rickard, million
dollar gates, new-laid million
aires with an itch for publicity,
and the freedom of postwar
manners and morals which
made it possible for a prize
fighter to aspire to and event
ually marry a society girl and
be accepted in her class as a
human being. In the old days
the sport was socially outlawed.
Women-that is to say, ladies'
did not go to the boxing pits
and therefore Sullivan's popu-
larity was limited strictly to the
class then known as sports"
But nearly everyone in every
walk of life seemed to love and
admire Jack Dempsey. He was
and still remains today in the
minds of millions of people the
perfect type of fighting man.
He was, as fighters go, a
pretty good performer, though
not nearly so good as legend and
kindly imagination pictured
him. He had great turbulence,
pugnacity and aggressiveness.
a valuable and unlimited fund
of natural cruelty, tremendous
courage, speed and determin-
alton, and good, though not ex-
traordinary hitting powers. He
was never a good boxer and had
little or no defense. He was not,
for instance, ever as good
fighter and boxer as the Negro
Joe Louis is today.
The Washington times., 1939-01-13

1t written-nor commented upon
that nothing ever went to
DempSey's head-not his money,
not his title, and not the amaz-
ing change in his social posi-
ton. He is one of the three ia
nous international sports char
acters and celebrities to remain
unspoiled, and himself. The
others are Bob Jones and Babe
Ruth.

FOR MORE
STATE UNITS DENIED

Numerous requests for new
state departments and boards
have been dnied by the legiS-
lature. First of the requests
turned down were those for var
iLus labor boards and divisions.
The house also has killed a
bill to establish an infantile
paralysis Sanitarium at a cost
of $25, 900. The senate defeated
a measure ealing for establish
ment of a board of electrical ex-
aminers. Another proposed law
introduced in the house and lat
er killed there would have adj
ded a specialist in exceptional
child education to the state
staff.
A bill the senate killed last
week would have provided for
a business manager for the six
units of the greater university
of Montana system. Other meas
ures called for creation of a
pneumonia control board and
appointment of a commission to
make a study of occupational
diseases.

DRAMATIC STORY
 OF DOCTOR K
 BASIS OF FILM
A Man 10 Remember Opens Tonight at
 Capitol

A powerful, human document tracing the joys and sorrows in the life of rural doctor, "A Man to Remember" brings to the Capitol Theatre tonight and tomorrow notable cast headed by Anne Shir- ley, and including Edward Ellis, Lee Bowman and William Henry.
 Ellis is cast as the small town physician, Miss Shirley as his ward and Bowman as his son. Important supporting roles are filled by John Wray, Granville Bates, Harlan Briggs and Frank M Thomas.
 The story, covering a period of 20 years, starts with the return of the doctor to his native town to be- gin life anew with his small son after the death of his wife. In vivid fashion his career of personal sac rifice is unforded while his effect on the little community that looks upon him as a failure is dramati- cally depicted.
 Anne Shirley, who was abandoned on the doctors doorstep as an infant, grows into womanhood, while Bow man. the son, returns from medical school. Bowman is ambitious to make a name for himself and joins more successful and wealthier phy- sician, which nearly breaks his fathers heart.
 Ellis discovers cases of infantile paralysis and takes steps to avert an epidemic Leading merchants fear that publicizing the discovery will ruin forthcoming county fair. They refuse to warn the citizens through the press. Ellis, however, prints handbills warning of the impending epidemic and personally undertakes to halt it's spread by treating all children gratis.
 How the obscure old practitioner finally emerges as the hero of the hour for his valiant struggle to stamp out the epidemic and save the children; how his son returns home to share his fathers practice; and how the romance between Miss Shirley and Bowman eliminates in marriage, are highlights in the dra- matic climax.

 J. Carol Naish, as racket-czar, and Robert Preston, as gang-defying G-man, face each other in fast paced tale which has everything action, thrills and romance. Mary Carlisle, the feminine lead in the film, is the girl who gets caught in the crash of the two opposing forces
 The new racket, as illustrated in Illegal Traffic." consists of traffic in fugitives-from- justice, who arc aided in making their getaway by transportation company whic h uses airplanes, fast cars, trucks and radio stations as equipment.
