SPOmS DOME BROWN
The recent announcement that
Jack Dempsey had signed articles
to meet Harry Wills, colored chal
lenger has renewed discussion as
to the champion's present condi
tion and his chances of returning
his title if he does return.
In Cleveland, O., the other night,
milling my way to the coming
world's series, I sat through a six
round exhibition given by Demp
sey. It was my lirst glimpse of
him in ring togs and ring action
in many months. .
As most folk do who sat near
the ringside the day he pounded
Jess Willard into a bleeding difig
ured, lumbering hulk of humanity,
I still carried with me the picture
of Dempsey the Glorious the
most perfect specimen of manhood
I have ever seen in or out of the
ring.
I carried with me, also, the
memory of Dempsey the day he
entered the ring with Carpentler,
not quite the same Dempsey, but
discounting what he might have
lost in condition by more experi
ence and the confidence that goes
with the crown.
The happenings in hi3 battle
with Firpo came back to me, too,
happenings that created a general
impression that he had stepped
noticeably well back on the road
to the end.
So I was rather eager to see bim
the other night. But I made the
mistake most folk make of look
ing at an acquaintance in death,
instead of remembering the de
ceased as he had been in life.
Up to the time Dempsey peeled
off his pink-lined bathrobe I had
in mind that husky, hard-looking
individual who carried murder in
his eye, effervesced murder in his
very action, and carried murder
in both his lightly gloved hands.
But when that bath-robe (oh,
girls what a beaut:it was) rolled
off his shoulders the old Dempsey
was gone w&3 as absent as the
old, dirty red sweater that Demp
sey wore into the ring when slam
ming his way to fame and the ti
tle. !
The new nose wasn't what made
Dempsey different. ;! The same
husky shoulders and chest were
there. His great forearms struck
you as forcibly as ever. But the
old Tiger attitude, the scuffle of a
fighter, eager to walk in and fight
it out with anyone in the world,
was missing. .!
In its place was the mincing
walk of the movies, the posed
grace of the drawing room and
a blase, bored air about the whole
proceedings.
And when the bell rang
He hippodromed hts stuff.
Ye, Gods. The onei man I never
expected to see hippodrome any
thing which called for the wearing
of boxing gloves. i
True, he received I only $5,000
for his three two-round acts with
three hams. But Dempsey of 0A
drew no line between the stars
ai.d the hams, big dough or little.
Any man in front of him was sim
ply something that had to be laid
out.
Of course his punching was off
color. He lacked the old speed
The Pittsburgh Pirates or today
ere hopeful, of course, of winning
( tie forthcoming world's aerie?
with the Washington Senators
conceding that the former meets
the latter.
But the older generation of
Pittsburgh fans have an added
reason f.ir asking victory.
The Pennsylvania city has
watched t'vo of Us teams in action
in the fall frolics one in 1903
and one in 1909 and the best
these outfits could do was to get
an even break.
The Pirates of 190.1 were forced
to bow to the Boston Red Sox in
a series that ran through eight
hectic battles. The Soxlets won
five and the Pirates but three.
In 1909 the black flag outfit
met the Detroit Tigers.
The Detroit bunch had just won
their third straight pennant. And
in the two preceding years they
had faced the Chicago Cubs, Na
tional league winners, full of con
fidence, only to meet defeat. The
Cubs won the first series four
to none and the second saw the
Tigers get but one game while the
Cubs took four. So the Tigers
went into the melee with the
Pirates with blood in their eyes
and froth running from their
chops.
When the smoke cleared away
the Pirates were badly maimed
but still swinging their cutlasses
having downed the Tigers four
games to three.
It may or may not mean any
thing, but In the five series that
have been divided between the
east and west those in which the
west boosted one champ and the
east the other the Atlantic coast
section has emerged triumphant
three times. In other words, the
odds are 3 to 2 against the Pirates
As related, Boston met Pitts
burgh in 1903 and defeated that
team.
The Athletics met the Cubs in
1910 and won. four games to one.
The White Sox met the Giants
in 1 U 1 7 and defeated McGiaw's
crow four games to two.
The Red Sox clashed with the
Cubs in 1918 and won four games
to tv.o
And Cleveland set back the
Brooklyn Dodgers in 1920 by five
games to two.
While the Pennsylvania city lies
westward mainly by division of
the circuit rather than by geo-!
(graphical location, the wer-tern
fans can consider themselves
lucky in grabbing off half the ser
ies once more. They have sat idly
by 11 of the 20 years the series
has been staged to date while the
east has hogged the fall clasi'.
Ami the western teams have hid a
monopoly on the show five times.
Those five intersectional series
listed above saved the day Tor
them the other years.
It Jimmy Siattery eventually
reaches the pinnacle of ring fame
he will do so only after a long and
rough journey. iHis recent knock
out at the hands of Paul Berlen-
liach sets him manv miles back on
the road - a highway that ap
peared smooth and rose-strewn tc
the young Buffalo geut but a few
months back, i
Siattery was headed for the top
by tho shot route when ho was
signed to meet; Dave Shade, who
had designs on! the welterweight
title rather than middleweight or
light heavyweight honors. Shade
shocked the boting world consid
erably . and Rlfatterv worse by
smacking the latter flat.
Siattery, somewhat disillusioned
as lo the way to fame, bided hir
time and trained earnestly for a
comeback. ' But; his manager pick
ed the wrong man to act as a step
ping stone for 'Jimmy on his re
turn to the tip. Berlcnbach
terrific body punches were too
much for the 'confident Buffalo
gent. .I

Exceptional Riding Comfort
The riding comfort cf a motor car is not de
pendent upon its length, weight or cost, any
more th&n the comfort of a home depends upon
its sire.
If the seats are deep enough and tho proper
distance from the floor; if the seat hacks aro
correctly pitched for relaxation; if the up
holstery is sufficiently stuffed and there is plenty
of leg room; above all, if the springs are rightly
designed and of proper length, you will
have exceptional riding comfort. Otherwise,
you will not.
Dodjje Brothers, with characteristic thorough
ness, studied and experimented with these
details for years. Their findings were ultimately
incorporated in the design of Dodge Brothers
Motor Car without question now a vehicle .
that ranks with the first in this vitally im
portant feature. '
