Dempsey's health rapidly declined. He
fought a number of battles afterward
with men who eould not have lasted a
round with him In his prime but never
again showed the dash that character
ised his great battles. When the' dread
"white plague" took hold or him he had
not tne neart nor xtrengtn 10 rignt i

But the secret of Dempsey's phenom
enal hitting ability was not In the lit
tle hand you have noticed In the ac
companying views. Observe more close,
ly and you will detect the unusually
large wrist supporting the hand. This
wrist enabled Dempsev to deal his
crushing blows, otherwise he would
have never attained the fame he did.
The wrist is wide and thick and is
almost as large aa that of a heavy
weight The atrength and flexibility
of the muscles and sinews contained in
the ample, wrist must have been mar
velous. ,

caused by my treatment of certain of
the American athletes on the trip to

every athletic ciuo member in the Mil

anco of tha bitter quarrel for athletic
supremacy in tha Metropolitan associa
tion between tha New York Athletic
club, and tha Iriah American Athletta
club, and made mora bitter by my pro

certain sporting editor of a New York

at Hill man for opposing him. "Illllmaa
probably fancies that f caused his sus

Speaking of Leavitt and Eaton, tha
Boston athletes, Halpln expreasea the
bellof that Leavitt dislikes him for get
ting him put of trouble with the Naples
police. "He probably has forgotten the
furniture he smashed in the Hotel dl
Napoli and the people he insulted," says
Halpln. Halpln thinks Eaton's griev

a loan of some Olymplo funds. Halpln
finally loaned Eaton a little of hia own,
