It was Chicago day at Carpvetier's
Ldhg Island chateau. And these Chi

Georges, for he boxed five fast rounds
with three sparring partners and got
up a good sweat-which is something
more than he did for the strictly NeW
York press delegation last Thursday.
Signor Riccardo Curley, once. a fig

man."

There is something in Dapper Dj
Take Dempsey as he was ive years4
ago.
I met him on the occasion of his
first visit to New York along in 1916.
I had previously seen him fight
Andrew Anderson and John Lester
Johnson, but I did not make his
acquaintance tontti some weeks later.
Although Johnson gave Dempsey
quite a belting. I was rather Im
pressed by the youngster, and spoke
favQrably of him in my printed
gossip on current sporting events.
One night In Brooklyn, when Frank
Moe, the blonde punch absorber from
Pittsburgh, was fighting Gunboat
Smith, "John. the Barber." came over
to a box where I was sitting with a
number of friends. escorting a tall,
dark browned, sulky looking chap.
HAD ROUND HEAD.
This chap was twiddling a cloth
cap in his hands. Ho had his hair
clipped close, showing * round head.
His face had recently been shaven,
and his muszle was a bluish-black.
He wore a suit of cInthes obviously
new, and obviously ready-made. He
seemed ill at ease as he followed'
"John. the Barber." .
John was a character of New
York's fistic world at that time. He
had a paying barber shop in the
heart of the "Roaring Forties." but
the ring was his bobby, and he had a
boxing club in Harlem. and managed
fighters. John's right name is
Reisler, and of recent years he has
been located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"This is Jack Dempsey," announced
John, as he reached the box, pushing
the tall fellow. forward. "You re
member you mentioned him In the
paper not long ago."
*,Pleased to meet you." mumbled
TFe mpsey, sticking out one of his
hands. His elasp drew attention to
the also of his "duke," if nothing else.
Ht;s name, of course, meant little at
the time, save as an echo of one of
lme greatest champions the ring has
ever known.
WAD LTGLA TO SAY.
Dempsey sat down in the box ad
'john, the Barber," babbled of him
as a heavyweight prospect. Dempsey
himself had little to say. He seemed
qtiite inarticulate. He was just what
hle was, a small-town fellow, some
what embarrassed by his new our
roundings.
I happened to know that the young
Ian came from my home State. Col
um ado, and I mentlened several names
that I thought he would be likely to
le iow. He knew them ad right, but
ne did not brighten uo eto any qent.
His answers were monosyllabio at
first. He impressed me as somewhat
surly, ii not, in fact, dumb.
At ' that time Dempsey weig'hed
around 170 pounde and was quite
s'ender. Notwithstanding, he had a
formidable, not to say forbidding ap
pearance. which was commented on
afterward by other mambers of the
rarty'. He was only twenty-one, but
looked older.
He was then living out the last
stages of his career as a hobo-fighter,
enid he bore unmistakal le marks of
the road in his wnanner. His brief
speech was interlarded with expres
miens that smoked of the brake
teams, the sand house and the "outs"
where freight trains linger- just long
cnough for a wayfarer to catch on.
He watched the Stoith-Moran fight
without any apparent interest.
THE BARDER TALKS
"I'd like to get either one of those
fellows for you. Jack." chattered
"John. the Barber."
"Uh-huh," grunted Jack.
Not long afterwards he broke with
"John, te Barber.' ' and caught a
frieght train back to the West. I did
not even hear of him again until one
day I ran into Jack Curley, the man
who made Jess Willard champion.
"Say." said Jack. "you remember
that fellew you thought could fight
that IDempsey? Well, old Jim PFlynn
stopped him in a round the other
night."*
This was the affair, since admitted
to have been a "Barney," or fake.
