By,now theworld knows how the
two Jacks—Dempuy-and Keena—
split.’ But only a few know exactly
how this friendship that ' was de-
stined to run into a million-dollar
closed corporation was begun.
Briefly. it was begun in a 'Friscc
groucry over two large foamy and
othawise desirable ekuttlcs oi beer.
At the time Dempsey was working
in the shipyards, having surrendo
ing a start that was neither an
souraging from an artistic stand-
point nor alluring as a means. to

presenting him to all and sundry as
a combination of Gans, Nelson. Mc-

But Kearus was not getting very
far and his bankroll had that lean
and hungry look which made ~' a
marked man of Cassius in Mr;

.On the particular night that
Dempsey and'Kea'rn‘s met for the
first time Kearns was flatter than

check calling for 25 smackers.
Jack Was‘ Buying 'Em'
In those days Dempsey.was.not.
exactly adverse to looking upon the
Pilsnei'pwhen it was pale. though in
later years he became a total ab-
fiaving the money. Dempsey was
doing the buying. Not having any
money and not caring whose money
centrated on drinking.
It soon became observable to
Dempsey. as the hours passed. the
silog was remaining singularly
aloof to the common courtesies of
tho- evening.

you busted?" asked Dempsey.
“Cleaner than a whistle." Kcarns
answered.
Thereupon Dempsey went into his
