June 4. —(U.R) — Leonard j Sacks, secretary to Jack Dempsey, | has revealed a series of events which he interpreted as threats against the life of the former heavyweight champion. Sacks told the United Press he received a threatening telephone call before he left New York and was told "you can't get away with it.” Dempsey himself was the recipient of similar messages while in Philadelphia and they inspired the qivck movements which characterized Dempsey's hurried visit to Chicago last week. Sacks intimated. Dempsey now is on the west coast, but Sacks made no reference to any connection bet .veen that and the "death threat." Neither did he draw any comparison to Dempsey’s report that he had been fired at while in Florida last winter, a report generally minimized after the first excitement. “ ‘Some one called me,’ Sacks said and told me, ’Dempsey is not dealing with Jack Kearns now, he is dealing with somebody else, you can't get, away with it’." The call came shortly after Hemp-1 sey had broken off promotional interests in New York, the secretary sfll<|. Sacks interpreted the call to mean that Dempsey's life was in danger. “I can’t nderstand it." Sacks com-, mented, "Dempsey was not in New ; York at the time hut I told him about , it when he came back. He did not' say anything and I didn't know whether to take it as just another j call.’’ The day of the call Dempsey had j gone to Wilmington, Del., and had I stopped off for luncheon in Philadel-1 phia amt there was a report that Jack ' had received a call or two in Phila- ' delphia, although this could not be verified. Sacks said he was not with Jack at the time and knew nothing of any Philadelphia call. Immediately after returning to New : York. Jack came to Chicago. He went i direct from the train to one hotel, 1 later he was registered at another and still later he entertained a few newspapermen in a third. He arriv- , ed around 10 a.tn. and departed at 6 j the same afternoon. Sacks admitted that Dempsey car- ■ rfed a revolver close to him but said | "Jack almost always does that." The former heavyweight champion went direct to Kansas City with Sacks from here and took a plane , from there to Los Angeles, where he joined his wife, Estelle Taylor, mo- ; tion picture actress. Sacks returned to Chicago. The i secretary was loathe to comment on the alleged '‘threats’’ but admitted he j had received the call. He did not say whether he had received any 1 calls since coming back to Chicago. I Dempsey last week broke off nro-: motional interests with Humbert ( Fugazy and Edward Cole and after, he allegedly had received $40,000 as an advance payment for his work. J "Jack was to have been provided • a place to promote within sixty days' Sacks said. "The place was not fortncoming when the contract was up on May 25, and Jack figured he was free to do as he pleased." o Marry In Haste And Frequently, Her Motto Tulsa. Okla., June 4-(UP)—There should be a place among the moving picture stars for Mrs. Helen Eichenberger who had been married seven times and figured in 10 divorce cases in the Last 29 years. These facts were revealed by her present husband, a contractor, when he filed corss petition to his wife’s divorce suit. Mrs. Eichenherger sued her present husband for divorce here August 15, 1928, dismissed the suit August JO, sued him again September 4, got a divorce and then had the deg ee vacated October 17 —all within two months. All of Mrs. Eichenberger’s husbands have been Oklahomas, Barthlesville leading with three.

SPEAKING OF BY FRANK GETTY

The Lure of the Game Few followers of sport believe that I "Big Bill” Tilden will stick to his j announced intention of retiring from international tennis. Charley Paddock is coming back for anolher q'y at the cinder path. The old guard of golf gets out lheie and tries each spring ever mindful of the days when birdies and eagles ■ screamed from their woods and irons. It’s hard to keep a good man —in retirement. Mike McTigue returns to the ring fighting second raters once a week, and his grand children shout encourcouragement from the gallery. Men who have led in a sport hate to give up and see others acclaimed. Jack Quinn and Grover Cleveland Alexander each propose to pitch “just a few seasons more." They may meet in the world series nexth fall. More power to them. After Fifteen Years Cornelius McGillicuddy sat on the playets bench in Shibe Park fifteen years ago and watched his Athletics, rated then as the greatest of modern ball clubs, slaughtered by the Boston Braves. Mack brke up that hall club of his, and hasn’t put another pennant winning combination together since—until this season. x Now it looks at though the lean old sage of Philadelphia might realize his ambition to direct a ball club through one more world series before retiring. The Athletics are not a finished organization, yet, but they acquired early in the season the habit of winning ball games.

Scouts Eye Him

The New York Giants, who open a I series at the Polo Grounds with their "cousins" from Flatbush today, may take advantage of the opportunity to | start that hard uphill climb which admirers of John J. McGraw expect from the club. The Brooklyn Robins, guests of the Giants in a four game series, should prove a good steppin.? stone for MeI Graw's youngsters. And then again, the Robins may prove slippery footing You cannot tell, these days, when even a Brooklyn ball club will turn. They have called the Robbins "cou-1 sins" of the Giants because of the be-j lief n the west that when McGraw j need; a ball game badly he arranges; to i'av it with Brooklyn. It isn’t so, but they believe saange things of us i cut in the west. If over a ball club was a disappointment in the metry month of May. the 1 New York Giants are the boys. Thev looked to be the fastest, peppiest outfit in the National League when the i harrier was sprung. The critics picked them to battle with the Chicago Cubs lor the pennant. And then the Giants dogged it, and would have fallen right into the cellar if their Brooklyn neighbors hadn’t been on hand to break the fall. John McGraw may get the club up there yet before the end of Sep‘om’>er. :: is just a question of how much heatt the club has, and whether the Giants can climb. 0 . .tX,. No Original Sin There Is no "original sin.” No mat- ; ter how unusual It is It has been thought of before by thousands.
