only fighter in ring history to re

According to Mr.. Stern, who is

was every inch a fighter was the
logical contender for the heavy
weight championship held by
Dempsey, but somehow never man
aged to get a shot at the title,
At the very outset, Dempsey cas-

Cab and his Cotton Club Revue

into. the theatre on Friday and Sat-
urday. According to advices received
from Pittsburghers, line extended
around the corner of the theatre.
The gross for the week does not in
