Staff Correspondent) New York, Aug. 11.—“ Jack Dempsey’s title will be in grave danger if he tights anyone this year.” Jimmy DeForest said today. "There are four heavyweights in the class who could stop the champion as he now stands." DeFoest, who trained Dempsey for the Willard fight and who is now matchmaker for Charles A. Stoneham's Polo Grounds athletic club, returned a few days ago from Los Angeles, where he has been looking over the champion. The life of ease he has been living and the recent development of a lot of business troubles are blamed by DeForest for what he calls the “very bad condition", of the champin. o "Dempsey is badly worried about business affairs,” he said. “'He wants to get out fom under his real estate biddings and he can't do it without standing a big loss. He’s running around in circles. “1 watched him in the gym and it didn’t take two minutes for me to see that he needs six months hard work if he is to get back into anything like his old fighting form. He is slow on his feet an dsluggish in his actions. His color is bad and there is no snap in his eye.” DeForest said he didn't talk business with Dempsey because lie felt there was nothing doing this year He said that Floyd Fitzsimmons
