"From friends throughout

f is more or less mention of

the east.
If any reception committee haa planned to greet Dempsey
upon his arrival at central station, they face a possible disap
pointment, because Kearns did not know whether the cham
pion would ride boldly into the city or leave the train at some
suburban station.
Then Kearns said: "Maybe tomorrow I shall have a con
ference with Dempsey and thresh this whole thing out.
neve the ditterence will be smoothed over all right.
"It looks to me like an ordinary business misunderstanding."

Talks were also made by R. A.

The showing reported by Mr.
