You will be able to identify
Dempsey by his old familiar
landmarks. His hair is still as
black and his beard as blue as
when he slipped through the
ropes at Toledo in 1919 to blast
the numbering Willard. He still
wears the same old scowl, and
his greeting is still the same
warm and friendly Hi, Pal"
A SOFT TOUCH
The chances are that he will
do his roadwork in a well-cut
double breasted suit, and he is
likely to stop half a dozen times
and slip a buck or two to those
who need little of the ready.
He's soft to the touch" I mean.

pretty good for an old fellow.

unlikely that anyone will know
even after Monday night, be-
