_LOS ANGELES - Jack Dempsey,
still acclaimed by fight fans as the
greatest modern heavyweight cham-
pion, doubts seriously if he ever
will return to the ring, even though
he hoped to do so if the title left
his country.
_ "I doubt if I ever will fight again,
not for a year anyhow," Dempsey
told the United Press today.. "I was
sorry to hear of the ending of the
Schmeling-Sharkey bout. I had
hoped a real decision would be
reached."
