in Miami Beach yesterday Rickard says SaR in the World There probably will wi be be- 1 beno no comeback come back b by Jack Dempsey I would like to see sec him 1 0 climb through the ropes rope again but an any one no who is 19 trying to create the thc impression that Jack is certain to make another bid for tho title tie is talking without nn any basis bul of fact tact Only one thing would encourage Jack to make another try tr for the title tto and that Is Li if I a n certain type typo of ot fighter should come through as winner win win- ner nor of ot the heavyweight eliminations I tb do not care to commit myself further further further fur fur- ther on that point but I nm am pretty well wel satisfied Dempsey has fought his hil last fl fight h t. t Whether or not Dempsey Dempse
