SPEAKING OF SP@RT BY FRANK GETTY
Offers to Dempsey s Every few days, some promoter bent i upon obtaining a bit of cheap publi-l city offers Jack Dempsey a fabulous sum to return to the ring. Sometimes the offers are dressed up with elaborate trimmings and regarded in some circles as front page news. Sometimes they are relegated to the comic section, where they are looked upon with no special favor by their neighbors among the time-worn jokes. The fact that a promoter offers to guarantee the former heavyweight champion $1,000,000 or less to return to the ring doesn’t mean that the promoter has that much money. Or could get it. Or that Dempsey would draw such a gate, although he certainly is the only heavyweight living who could do so. When Jack went to Montreal recently, a local promoter telephoned to ask his price for a bout with Elzear Riour a coming Canadian heavyweight contender. Dempsey knew there was no question of such a match being made but just for a laugh he replied: “One million dollars.” The head-lines blazoned the yarn all over town within an hour. And before Jack reached New York the following day, he was reported to have agreed to fight in Chicago for $550,000 and in Tia Juana for SBOO,OOO. Each time an offer is made, it is the signal for a flood of others, the promoters trying to outdo each other in the magnitude of their bids. Ie does no real harm, if one doesn’t take it seriously. They don’t say what they propose to use for money, but what of it?

The Montreal Fight Dempsey's actual interest in Montreal. which the ex-champion regards as a good place to stage a heavyweigh fight on July 4, is in finding the most suitable opponents. If he can decide upon a good match which will be popular with both Canadians and the American tourists who will be on the island of Montreal around July 4, Jack will go up in the role of promoter and match maker. He will be representing the firm of Fugazy and Cole, of course. The chances are that the new alliance of Dempsey, Fugazy and Cole is not destined to l>e long lived. The exchampion may be regretting his bargain already, although he wouldn’t say so. Dempsey's tremendous personal popularity was demonstrated during the flying trip to Montreal with the wirter. There was a crowd at the station, and everywhere Jack went lie was surrounded by cheering throhgs and autograph seekers The Canadians, like their English cousins, are great on autographs. Jack made a great hit at the Kiwanis luncheon where he appeared for a moment. A speech was in order, so he obliged “1 feel like the Irishman at the party’’ he said. “Everyone entertained in turn, singing, dancing or playing some musical instrument. Finally it came the Irishman's turn. He got up and said: “ ‘ Ladies and gentlemen, I can't sing nor dance nor play the pianny, but just to be sociable I’ll fight anybody in the room.’ ” This brought down the house.

FORECASTS END OF DEATH FROM GERM MALADIES Science Sees Future Generations Immunized From Contagious Diseases Pa Ms, May 25-(UP)-The day be approaching when mankind can h° Immunized from all contagious maladies and causes of death can he reduced to old age, the wearing out of organs or accdlents. Science already has proved means of preventing four of the gravest diseases which have caused serious ravages throughout histoty and in France alone hundteds of scientists are continuing thelt studies to provide vaccines to immunize mankind against all (he other ill's to which we have been heir. The Pasteur Institute, the Curie Institute and the Academy of Medicine are all centering their efforts on finding vaccines, and at present the greatest Intention is being paid t othe antltuberculsis vaccine of Calmette. Already vaccination against smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid and paratyphoid fevers has proved successful. Science is divided over the merits of the tuberculosis vaccine, which is now being widely used In France, and it will he necessary to wait for the results of the next ten years before science can say definitely whether the Calmette vaccine is a preventive or a danger. Smallpox Scare The recent smallpox scare In Europe which followed" the transport of the disease fiont India to England by passengers and crews on liners caused a sudden increase in vaccinations which almogt taxed to its limit the production capacity of the Pasteur Institute. Modern engineering has come to the aid of science, however, and by the use of most modern American refrigeration machinery and methods, it is now possible to make up serums In vast quantities and store them awav to be ready for such an emergency as that cieated by the British Smallpox scare. * Professor Lerehotrlet, of the French Academy of Medicine, one of the outstanding authorities ott vaccination in Europe, told the United Press that the wrld is today perfectly prepared to fight against epidemics and many contagious diseases could be forever eliminated if all nations would adopt the successfully proven methods. “Smallpox has entirely disappeared as an epidemic in Fiance, although there are rare scattered cases, especially in port towns", Professor Lercboulet said. “Eveiy year sees several hundred thousand persons vaccinated against smallpox in Fiance, especially school child:en, soldiers and people living in cities who ate most subject to contagion. Ortr vaccination work has been so successful and the public has accepted it so heartily that today it is safe to say France has no fears of smallpox.
