A NEW JACK DOYLE.

Boxing Singer Now Just A Boxer. (Special. —By Air Mail). London, January 9. Jack Doyle, singer, film actor, and cabaret dancer, is “dead.” Jack Doyle, curly-haired Irish boxer, announced this fact himself when he arrived at Waterloo Station on the Normandie boat train. The resurrected Jack Doyle spoke penitently of his former seif. He said: “It was rayself who made, the mistake. I have made several mistakes in my life. The biggest was when I went to Hollywood, a life of dissipation. Far too much temptation, luxury, late hours, and other things'. One gets soft. “I kept walking round the” sets thinking it was no life for a fighter. I’m finished with film work and anything else but the ring. I’m going back to dear old Dan Sullivan, the man who got me out of the Army years l ago, and began to make a fighter of me. Dan has promised to wipe the slate clean and begin all over again with me. I want most to sock Petersen. First, I want to be British heavy-weight champion, and my ambition is- still to be world champion.”
