Next Thursday Night
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept.
IS. (AP) Jack Dempsey was
thrown temporarily into the hands
of the receiver late today as the
result of a suit filed by Jack
Kearns. his former manager, de
manding an accounting of all
funds earned by the world's
heavy weight champion from
August 3, 1923 to August 3,
1926, the period of their three
year contract.
"Dempsey was ordered to appear
before vice chancellor Robert H.
InRersoII at 10 a. m. hekt Tues
day for a hearing.
Kearnes in his bill of complaint
sets forth tha the had been man
ager of Dempsey for more than
five years and that he brough
him from obscurity., increasing
his earnings from $200 for an ex
hibition to where he could have
earned 1500.000 for fighting
Harry Wills, the negro challeng
er. Vire Chancellor Ingersoll issu
ed a writ ne exeat restraining
Dempsey from leaving the state
""ienlinK disposition of the suit
wrid also enjoined him from as
iSarghrng or transferring or dis
posing of any of his property. A
supplementary agreement at
tached to the -decree, however,
permits Dempsey to appear
through counsel provided the
champion posts a $100,000 bond.
This action , will not prevent
Dempsey from going to Philadel
phia to fulfill his engagement in
defense of his world's heavy
weight championship against
nene Tunney next Thursday
night.
The latest punch in the nose
Dempsey received was delivered
after hi3 work at the Dog track
here this afternoon. He did not
know about court action while he
was engaged with his sparring
partners, but the vlciousness with
which he tore into Harry Lough
eran was an indication that he ex
pected the latest thrust from
Jack Kearns.
Lougheran felt the sting of the
champion's punch and came near
