Mr. Perry Tries Again 3 thing about the boys from Elk City, they are not easily discouraged. Elk City, in case you do not happen to have an alh handy, is in West Virginia, hard by Charleston, [le City is a thriving community, and claims fame as the home of Mr. Fred Perry, “The Selk City Flash.” Mr. Perry is a young man who manages the Casino at Marinao, in Havana, in the winter season, and keeps Broadway up after hours in the summer. He puts in his spare time at the famous Volney Club, in West Forty-fifth street, and takes an occasional flier in speculation on the pugilistic market. Or, if trade chances to be dull therein, Mr. Perry will try his hand at anything else—at least once, and sometimes twice. To haeve had ayype accuta nn te Aguring Me.

He bet $80,000 on Mr. Dempsey to beat Mr. Tunney at Philadel phia last year, then bat $36,000 on the terrible Sharkey man to beat Mr. Dampsey. Or at least he fost that much. As a matter of fact, he had wagered more than $36,000 on the terrible Sharkey man, but along about the third round up at the Yankee Stadium he took a violent liking to Mr. Dempsey.

But Mr. Parry is convinced that Mr. Dempsey is through as a fighter and, though it has cost him plenty to date The Elk City Flash is deter mined to run that opinion down.

Much of the monsy that was waggered on Mr. Compacy was sentimental money. It was wati vred against the ban of the game that they don’t come back, against Mr. Dempsey's deplorable showing with Mr. Tunney a year ago, against the adage that youth must be served, against the remova of an injured arm and against the tales from Saratoga that Mr. Dempacy, looked very aad in training.
