DODO OB Wi s DOl .n-JtM .M Out of the dim, dark yesterday A olce is heard once more Which all reminds us vlvldlv When Jes sat on the floor. l ax training tons," iwi Mr. Jess. , "Down on my Kansas ranch O, I'm coming back and show the world That I'm no ancient dodo.

I've breathed the Kansas zephyrs; I've pitched the hay plowed the cord And roped the frisky heifers 'The stuff It takes to cripple guys I've got to knock 'em curly, My heart now thumps riuito rog'larly And I am big and burly.

After Jeis was In that train w reek at Toledo a year and a half ago most everybody believed that he'd spend the rest Of his days convalescing.

All of which makes it nice for' Dempsey. Dempsey needs matches I Dempsey needs money. Dempsey an . me Wtllard in his xeheme very nicely. I And It might not b such a flivver light At lhau |
