Center St. Phone 2 DEMPSEY WANTS SOME REAL CASH NEW YORK, Feb. 10—The rather dignified sum of $1,100,000, almost the size of the gate on the night Dempsey fought Firpo, has been set as the price of the champion's possible return to the ring, according to reports in circulation. It is declared that Jack Kearns, noted collector of rare and well done coins, has demanded, and will get that amount for his champion before the latter will step out, if at all, against Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills during the impending outdoor season. Around three quarters of a million has been demanded for the Willa frolic alone, it is said. Neither Tex Rickard nor those behind the financing of Henderson's proposed stadium would admit today that such was the case, and not without reason. It is a violation of the boxing code in this state to quote fixed guarantees to any fighter. Friends of both promoters, however, were insistent that the terms quoted above were Kearns' own and professed to have read ttelgrams to that effect. Fir the Gibbons bout, it was said, the Kearns demand was exactly $350,000, with the privilege of cutting in on the receipts above that figure. That, if true, would bring Dempsey at least $50,000 more than he received for giving Carpentier a rough push on the shoulder, the occasion in question being the last on which Rickard has made important money out of a heavyweight bout.

LOUIS—American League magnates gathered here today for their annual pre-season confab. The meeting, it was predicted, would be a strictly business and entirely harmonious affair with no flareback of the Ban Johnson controversy; DETROIT—Negotiations for a bout between Tom Gibbons and Luis Firpo, to be held in Detroit next June, are being conducted by a Detroit syndicate, according to announcement today.

PORTLAND—The Univ. of Ore-basketball team today led the northern section of the Pacific STOCKS ACTIVE, STRONG IN SPOTS NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—The stock market was active and strong today in spots. Action in the market centered about the sensational movements of a few active stocks, largely under control of powerful professionals; bullish industrial developments, such as dividend increases and increasing forward orders were practically unnoticed while speculative selling caused a reactionary tone in those sections of the market which were the bulwarks of strength a few days ago. Castiron Pipe's further rise of 19 points to 233, a gain of nearly 40 points since Saturday, was the feature of the high priced shares. No new light was tarrown on the "inside" plan for splitting up the stock, nor is any announcement expected for a month or so. American Can sold in fairly large volume at 172. Worthington Pump was up 5 points at 72; Savage Arms up four at 89½%; Continental Can up 3; Universal Pipe common and pfd nearly 3 each; Allied Chemical up 2½ and similar movements in other industrial and specialty stocks in which trading was very heavy, suggested the resumption of the activities of bullish pools which have been comparatively quiet of late. Another heavy buying movement in Mack Truck, pushed the price to a new high at 146¾, up 7 points from the previous close. General Motors lost about one point on profit taking. Independent Oil and Gas was the only oil stock to benefit to any extent from the buying demand for oils. The sharp decline in prices of grains was a feature in speculative markets. Cotton held steady; foreign exchange irregular. The supplies of call money increased in the fourth hour and rates declined to 3½ per cent against Monday's closing rate at 4½ per cent. Stock sales today 1,678,500 shares; bonds $15,819,000. COTTON OPENS STEADY NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—The cotton market was steady at the opening-today with the first prices from 11 to 14 points higher.

The Follies is more than a home talent show, though the 50 kiddles who participate are residents of Anaheim and Orange co. Critics who have watched the kiddies dance say the "Follies" smacks of professionalism. Work was completed late this morning on the special stage settings by the California theatre artists. The house electrician has tested out some new lighting effects and he says he has something unique in store. Special scenery and special lighting are not necessary to bring out the talent of these Anaheim children, but Manager Frank L. Stannard says he will spare no expense to make this an occasion long to be remembered. Twelve dances are included in the specialty numbers interspersed with songs.

PLAYERS SELLDOM SELVES IN FILM If you didn't like your special cinema "crush" in his or her last picture, don't jump on them too severely. It may not have been their fault. Mary Carr, famous mother of the screen, who has one of the important roles in "East of Broadway," a comedy-drama of New York life, being shown at the United theatre, declares that picture players are seldom ever captains of their own souls on the screen. "The ability of actors can seldom be accurately judged by their screen portrayals," asserts Mrs. Carr. "The stories are frequently not those for which they are adapted, and even if such is not the case, their interpretation of a role is usually dictated by the director.
