AMERICAN CHAMPION SAID TO
HAVE TENTATIVELY AGREED
TO APPEAR OVERSEAS
LONDON, Jan. 30-—Jack Dempsey’s
recent intimation that he intends to
j visit Europe again within the next'
few months has cultivated a crop of
rumors that he may display his
pugilistic talents in a British ring
while he is on this side of the Atlan-j
tic.
Without having anything really |
tangible in the way of fact some of!
the boys that write pieces for the
London papers have cooked up a
| nice little dish for Dempsey. The
main ingredient of the dish is a I
championship battle between the
worlds’ title holder and a European
; opponent at Wembley Stadium, where;
the British Empire exhibition is to be
held next summer.
According to one version of the sto-:
ry, a certain English promoter has
booked the Wembley stadium for a !
match in which Dempsey has tenta-1
tively agreed to participate. The op
ponent suggested is either Georges!
Carpentier or Jack Bloomfield, a pro
mising young British heavyweight.
Carpentier and Bloomfield, it is re- j
ported, are to have the privilege of •
fighting eac bother for the honor of in- ■
curling a match with Dempsey. This
argument, according to present sched
ule, is to be staged in London some
time in February.
Although Frank Goddard, a burly
Australian, is officially recognized as
the heavyweight champion of England
it is noticeable that he is not being
considered as a possible opponent for
Dempsey, while the man whom God
dard beat to win his title is in the
front rank of possible adversaries.
Goddard won his title lying on his
back, listening to the mocking birds
after Bloomfield had knocked him out
in the second round, ms victory was
entirely due to the fact that the punch
with which Bloomfield lulled him to
sleep was a foul.
Whether Dempsey is inveigled into
a match or not it is probable that
Bloomfield and Carpentier will meet
in the near future. Bloomfield is con
sidered the likeliest young heavy
wreight in Europe and the legitimate
successor to Carpentier as the Euro
pean champion. He is fast, very shif
ty on his feet and packs a wicked
punch. He will weigh around 175
pounds in his present fighting trim
and should add a few pounds to that
as he matures. Scores of capable
judges of fighters believe that Bloom
field can “take” Carpentier any time
he starts against him.
It can hardly be argued, even by
Bloomfield’s most enthusiastic suppor
ters, that he is good enough to con
quor Dempsey; but, if he beats Car
pentier and a match with Dempsey is
arranged, he undoubtedly would give
a better account of himself than any
other scrapper in Europe.
The thing that makes it seem im
probable that Dempsey will indulge in
a match here in the reluctance oi Eu
ropean promoters to talk about mon
ey with the largesse to which Jack is
accustomed. A purse of $100,000 would
look as big as Mount Elverest to Eng
lish promoters, while it would look
like Bunker Hill to Dempsey. Jack
Kearns’ recently reputed statement
that Dempsey will ask $1,000,000 for i
his next fight rules the British im- (
presarios out, for none of them could i
be con vinced that there is that much
money.
If, however the well known moun-;
tain should amble over toward Mo-1
hammed and Dempsey should consent
to fight Bloomfield or Carpentier, or
anyone else over here, they would
have to enlarge the British Isles to ac-'

HERE’S CHAMPION
OYSTER CONSUMER
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.—The chain
pion oyster eater has been found.
William Edgar McKee, president of
the Los Angeles Harbor Board, who
recently returned from the annual
convention of the American Associa
tion of Port Authorities, at New Or
leans, has laid claim to being the
world’s greatest oyster eater and
challenges all contenders to defend
their honors against him any time
at any place.
According to President Boyle
Workman of the Los Angeles City
Council, who attended the convention
with McKee, the harbor board presi
dent has a just claim.
“McKee,’ ’said Workman, "ate on
'• f vsters a day
while he was in New Orleans.
“He started the day with a dozen
or so oysters for His breakfast. For
lunch he would eat half a dozen as
an appetizer, then a couple of dozen
to form the meal, and he always in
sisted on oysters for dessert.
“For dinner there were more oys
ters, and there were even oysters in
’’“h-'-en meats. He ate them raw, seal
loped, stewed, pickled boiled and
fried.’
JUDGE RITCHIE COMING

BERLIN, Jan. 31.—The Separatist

French troops, who were chained

lar of the building.

immensely popular everywhere in Eu
rope, and it is probable the lads would
flock to London from the crags of
Switzerland, the plains of Poland, the
vineyards of Italy, the fjords of Nor

parts to see the devastating Jack in
action.
