BOTH EAGER FOR SCRAP
Some Good Judges Believe Black
Will Take Ring Crown Away
From Present Holder.
BY HUGH FULL.ERTON.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
First Article.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2. Harry Wills,
colored heavyweight champion of
the world, whatever else he may be,
has earned the right for a fight with
Jack Dempsey. Today Willa told
me that his chief aim in life is to
meet the white champion, and,
flushed with recent easy victories
over the two Jacksons, neither of
whom amounted to much, he was
liushed -with confidence.
A short time ago, talking with
Dempsey, he said:
"I want that man worse than I
ever wanted any man in the world.
With two big men, both supremely
confident, desiring to meet each
other, what stands between euch a
meetine?
Nine-tenths of the fight fans in
the country think that Dempsey will
'score an easy victory over wins.
The other tenth, which includes
some of the best judges of boxing in
the country, gives Wills a lot more
than a fighting chance to overthrow
the ' champion, and a few, among
them several keen judges, think that
Dempsey will meet a large, dark
nemesis when he enter-a tne ring
with Wills.
Match Considered Even.
With such differences of opinion,
a study of the two men and their
methods may help the public to
judge. You may start with the as
surance that this match is not one
sided; not -nearly as one-siled as the
Hempsey-Carpentier, ths Iiempsey
Brennan or the Wills-Jackson
matches.
This fellow Wills is more danger
ous than admirers of Dempsey are
inclined to admit. In fact, if he has
courage (and he has not yet shown
that he lacks that element), he has
a chance. How much of a chance we
may judge by comparing the men
and their methods of working and
of fighting.
Physical comparison of the men
reveals a number of interesting
facts.
Wills is older, a veteran. He has
fought more fights; how many he
himself does not recall. He has
fought since he was a jockey mak
ing weight around the race track.
He has fought from the time he
weighed 108 pounds to now when
he scales around 212 in condition.
Dempsey I Smarter.
Dempsey is the smarter man, has
the better brain, possesses more of
the animal cunning in fighting.
Wills has more experience; in fact
he is wise from long experience !
rather than from thinking. Demp- i
sey has the smarter manager, the
smarter handlers.
So much for the thinking end of
the farat. The Question of courage
gameness is one that cannot be
doped. Neither man has ever quit
because of punishment, and the only
blot of Denipsey's ring record was
not due to any lack of courage, but
to lack of money. Wills has fought
some bad-looking fights. He has
been unable to beat some second
raters. Even so, he has whipped
more really good men than Dempsey
has. The charge that Wills has
been knocking over a lot of set-ups
is true but Dempaey has done the
same thing.
Wills has the better of weight.
He will weigh about 212 when he
meets the champion, and Dempsey
will fight around 196, which he con
siders his best weight. Wills has a
shade in height and reach. His
weight, which would appear to give
him the advantage, is not well dis
tributed. Dempsey Well Built.
Dempsey's weight is so well dis
tributed that in street clothes he
appears to weigh around 170 and
nine men out of ten would guess
his height around 5 feet 11 inches
instead of 6 feet 1 inch. His weight
is where it can be used best. Loins,
hips and waist are comparatively
slender, while Wills carries weight
around the hips and in the waist.
Their necks are both good, Demp
sey's being the shorter and his head
ie better set on his shoulders.
Dempsey has all the better of it in
comparison of shoulders and upper
arm. His muscles are longer, giving
more leverage, and they flow more
smoothly. Wills is inclined to
bunchy, knotty muscles.
While Wills has a shade on the
reach, his forearm and wrist are not
so well proportioned as are Demp
sey's. He has terrific power in his
forearm and wrist. Dempsey's hands,
which have been protected carefully,
are better and less liable to shatter
under the force of blows.
Champ's Legs Better.
It ie in the legs that Dempsey
shows greatest superiority. Demp
sey's legs are perfectly formed, his
feet are better and stronger. Wills'
legs are too slender for his weight,
he is slightly knock-kneed and from
the knee down his legs are almost
spindling, while his feet are large
and not well shaped. He fights from
a shuffle and to get speed rises on
the toes, but seems slightly flat
footed. Which, however, was not
enough to bar him from the army.
The next article will deal with
the 6peed and strength of the two
men.
TWIRLEK STRIKES OUT 22
Young Pitcher Signed to Play In
Coast League With Seattle.
MONTESANO, " Wash., Sept. 2. A
remarkable strike-out record was
made here recently by Elbert Fisch,
19-year-old southpaw twirler of the
White Star baseball team of Whites,
Wash.
In a game with the Montesarto
team Fisch struck out 22 batters
and allowed but two hits, one in the
fourth and the other in the eighth
inning. White Star won the game,
3 to 1.
Fisch has been signed by the Se
attle team of the Pacific Coast
league and will report next spring.

Jack Dfmpwy'a Rules.
Her are some simple rules of train-
ins as laid down by Dempsey:
Don't tire yourself out. Stop when
nearing exhaustiom '
Watch your heart. Don't overstrain it.
Change the pace frequently in road
work; jogr, then sprint. t'
Quit at once if you do not perspire.
Go slowly up hill.
"Work up the wind gradually. Increas
ing the distance run each day.
, Don't let anyone set a distance .for
you to run. Judge by your own feel-
lags when to stop.
Don't run until you dislike running.
The best work is that you enjoy.

tal attitude, which stimulates a'de
sire for physical perfection, an
average physical endowment, stam
jna, and speed. No man may suc
ceed in becoming fit without healthy-
liver and stomach, sound feet and
clear eye. Given those, even though
they may have been permitted to
degenerate, training will bring back
health and vigor,
Training, of course, must 6tart
with the stomach, and the next
step is to train the lungs; to work
for better "wind." Seemingly the
simplest of ail training, this is the
most dangerous. More, young men
and boys injure their health and
wreck their athletic careers by care
less exertion than in any other way.
Bad Running Invites Danger.
Since running is the simplest and
oldest method of improving the
wind, it is also the best, when prop
erly used. The fact 'that it seems
a simple matter invites danger
as the runner is working with his
heart and lungs.
Running has been used and gen
erally misused by athletes of all
branches of sport, but it remained
for the modern school to learn how
to run to get the best results and
avoid heart strain. - v.
Boxers of the old school knew
that road work was the best for
improving the wind and for re
ducing weight. Not one in a hun
dred knew how to run. John L.
Sullivan slogged along mile after
mile. Captain A. C. Anson, when
head of his famous Chicago White
Stockings, followed the same meth
ods. Twenty times around the park
was his prescription for all players.
Dempoey I'ses Monkley Method.
The growth of long distance,
especially cross country, running in
America has done much to bring
proper methods into more general
knowledge. -It is odd that Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion.
should have by his own experiments
evolved exactly the. same system of
training as that used by Jack iloak
ley, Cornell's famous running coach,
who has developed more great cross
country runners than any one in
America, and whose methods are
imitated in practically ..all. prep
schools and colleges.:
The systems vary only in that
the boxer, the baseball player and
the wrestler " must consider the
muscular effect, as wellas the wind.
The boxer and:. ball player must
avoid hardening ' the "leg muscles,
since supple, free moving muscles
are vital In their professions.

ders with feet high In air, and in
dulge in fast kicking exercises.
Leaping from bed he goes to an open
window and breathes deeply 20
times, for lung exercise. His road
work usually precedes breakfast in
hot weather, and is discontinued
until late in the afternoon.
Before starting for road work
Dempsey has his rubber smear his
feet with lanolin (oil from sheep's
wool), dons, heavy woolen socks,
and before he puts on his shoes he
takes foot exercise, rising on his
toes and rocking back on : to his
heels 25 times, to strengthen arches
and toe muscles.
Ron of Five Miles Plenty.
On the road his methods are at
variance with those used by the old
timers. ''Five miles is plenty," he says
"The old-time way of pounding the
pike for 20 miles was not good. You
can get just as much action in five
miles as in 20. I jog most of the
way. but the change of pace is what
counts. In Jogging 1 hold the arms
rather close, with a hand grip in
each hand, head thrown back, chest
out, lips closed, breathing through
the nose. The feet are held straight,
and the pace is steady and even, the
old Indian stride. Occasionally I
Jump into a quick sprint for a short
distance. Every once in a while I
drop the arms and let them swing
naturally at the sides.
"A boxer has to be careful of his
feet and legs. The strain of run
ning is not great, excepting on hills.
Take the hills slowly, and avoid
pounding the feet on hard roads. Get
the perspiration started as soon as
possible, and watch the heart.
IVever l.ein Selt Tire.
"I never let myself get very tired(
at least not near to any feeling of
exhaustion. If a fellow commences
to tire, or his heart starts pumping,
or he dries out and cannot perspire,
he should stop at once. He is short
of wind and must get up to it grad
ually. If a man overdoes running
at first, he takes more out of him
self than he can put back in a week.
"Change the pace frequently, fin
ish the roadwork with a ' brisk
sprint, then . rub down no, that's
wrong--rub up.- A fellow never
should rub himself down, but start
at his feet and work upward with
a rough towel before jumping into
nis cam., jtuo out all perspiration
first, then the bath, and a srentle
drying.. -. ., . .. ... . , ..
"Swimming is. wonderful for the
wind, but I don't think it srood for
athletes. It is too exhaustina:. Salt
water takes less out of a fellow than
fresh. I love swimming, but a auiek
dive, a fast sprint, and out is best."
Skipping Hope la Passe.
Skipping the rope, one of the fa
vorites of the veterans, is going out
of use ,as a wind improver. Train
ers have gone back to the first idea
in improved form.
Dempsey likes running."; "Don't dn
anything in training that you dis
like," he says.- - "Of course, no one
likes the-first few workouts. Rut
after that-you ought to enjoy run-ning.-and
if you don't enjoy it you're
not getting anywhere. Each man
must Judge for -himself how much
running he can stand. Work up to
it gradually, increasing the distance,
and finish feeling pleasantly tired,
but not exhausted."

Safe or Out?
BY CHARLES D. WHITE.
Q. Three runners were on bases and
two strikes on the batter when the
nither made a balk. I advanced the
runners knd the side at bat said I should
also advance the batter, and when I
refused to do so left the field. Wa I
right and what about the protest?
A. You were right, and there 18 no
protest when a team leaves the fieid.
It forfeits its rights by that course.
Q. Runner on first. Batter makea
foul frp. Catcher drops the ball. A nays
the runner on first can steal and B says
not.
A B is right. The foul tip must be
caught to permit the runner to steal.
When the ball is tipped and the catcher
drops it the hit is like any foul.
Q. Runner on, first with three balls
on the batter. Runner starts for second
on the next pitchy which Im a ball, and
the catcher throws to center field, the
runner going on to third. Captain of
team in the field says the runner must
be sent back to second base because it
was the fourth ball. Game is pro
tested. What is the rule?
A. The ball is in play and the run
ner should not be sent back to second
base. There is no ground for protest.
Q. Batter hits & line drive between
center and left. A small boy picks up
the ball and throws it to the center
fielder, who threw to the second base
man, the runner stopping at second. The
umpire sends him to third. There was
no ground rule.
A. The umpire mixed up the play.
The bail was blocked and should have
been thrown to the pitcher standing In
his position and until it arrived there
runners were at liberty to go as far as
they could. The umpire had no author
ity to advance a runner.
. Q. Runner on first. Batter hits In
field f iy and the first baseman drops
the ball. Runner on first goes half way
to second and then continues and is
tagged out when first baseman throws
to second. Who is out. the runner or
the batter?
A. Runner Is out. There Is 00 In

pay less for an automobile than
they pay for the new Cadillac.
But it is plain that they reject
that possibility as well.
Just as they refuse to pay more
for that which they consider in
no way better, so they refuse to
pay less, and accept that which
they believe to be inferior.
They reason that the new
Cadillac possesses a degree of de
pendability and perform-ability
that is not duplicated anywhere
for less.
We believe that the majority of
buyers of high grade cars choose
Type 61 because they have a clear
conviction of its worth.
They buy it because, after mature
refle'ction, they consider Type 61
Cadillac both the Standard of the
World and the world's greatest
motor car value.

As soon as it became generally
known among some of the idealistic
members of congress that the free
list was about to be burned without
ceremony where they were con
cerned. Representative MacGregor
of New-York suddenly discovered
that the army-navy game Is a com
mercial affair with insidious pro
pensities. With startling acumen
he found that the only Interest of
the middles and cadets in the big
game of the year is how much
money they can get out of it. He
arises to tell the world that it is
all wrong and dangerous and that
in order to curb the evil he has In
troduced a bill to prevent the games
being played with an admission
charge.
It seems strange that all these re
markable discoveries were not made
until the free passes to members
were stopped. So long as thousands
of others had to pay It did not mat
ter. Following Is the statement that
Representative MacGregor Issued
after learning that he probably
would have to dig in his leans like
anybody else who did not happen to
be a congressman:
"The vast Bums received for ad
mission fees would indicate the
growing spirit of commercialism In
the military and naval academies,
and that the students are not filled
with a desire 'to demonstrate their
physical development," said th New
York representative. "Rather, their
attention Is centered upon how much
money they can get The young men
at these Institutions belong to the
nation and ther gratitude for the
opportunity given them should not
be marred by evidences -t greed."
