DEMPSEY BACK IN BIC MONEY .lark Dempsey, Broke Six Years Ago. In Financial Comeback New York. Oct. 17 — (U.K) Within Ik months he’ll be a millionaire again — the great Jack Dempsey Right now he’* worth more than 1750.000. Therefore Dempsey has made the greatest comeback in the history of pugilism. Six year* ago he was broke. He and hla manager. Jack Kearns, had blown between three and five million dollars that the Manassa Mauler had earned with hla explosive fiats during the heydey of Tex Rickard He lost hi* world heavyweight crown in September. 1824. to Gene Tunney. He tried to lake It from Tunney In September. ’27. at Chicago. but failed. Later he tried a comeback campaign that wound up when he wa* licked by Kingfish Levinsky. Like sll other ex-heavy champ*. Dempsey failed to regain the crown. But differing from exchamps and ex-fighters In virtually every division, this brawny. : black-haired son of the west I* ; rehabilitating himself financially . And that la a greater comeback i than any he could have pounded : out in the ring. This la impressively true when one recall* that I the most hopeless and moat helpless flotsam of any sport are the **x-pug*. who were (.ood fellows when they had dough, but who haven't got it now and who lack the intelligence and education to around without a job. Doing a : bad job of coaching when he I* available la like courting your girl with Clark Gable watching from the couch across the room I Not that Sutherland would ever try to get a fellow coach’s job. He is not that type. But no one could blame him for taking a spot of work if a contract were handed him. After all. coaching is his business. Even secure coaches, working under long contracts, are curious to know where Sutherland will land next year. They would like to know If he Is going to a school that is on their schedule and if they are going to have to play his team. It is nice to know as far in advance aa possible when you are going to taoet a Sutherland coached machine, because you don't prepare for it over night. I There are such matter* to be attended to as bolstering your tackle* and preparing your player* i for the darndeat blocks they ever had put on them. It is also nice 1 to have time enough to prepare your moat violent backer* for a defeat, because a glance at Sutherland's recora shows that he doesn't lose many game*. There are many knowing football souls around who say that Sutherland already has been signed for next year, and there are a few even more knowing soul* who say that Sutherland has admitted aa such. These latter say that he won't tell where for fear of embarrassing the coach now on duty. There have been many guesses as to where Sutherland will go. Right now the two schools tn the lead in the guessing are Navy and Stanford. But those are guesses, nothing else, and insofar as anyone knows the good doctor may align himself with North Buffalo school of applied design. If he does you may safely wager that before many years have passed North Buffalo school of applied design will be belting the daylights out of this team and that team, and be in line for a Rone Bowl or Sugar Bowl or some kind of a bowl hid.
