Although he worked with no spar- ring partners, Dempsey yesterday showed the newspaper men more power, savageness and speed than at any time in the training grind. For six minutes, with arms held high, Jack whanged the light punching bag with never a sign of weariness. he stormed around the heavy bag. Whipping both hands into the leather with crushing power, for the first time in three weeks of training here Jack appeared to have regained a good deal of his old-time speed of foot. He finished with a round each of pulley work, shadow boxing and ring calisthenics. Dempsey’s training here ends to- day with a short limbering workout. He will leave for New York by train tomorrow. —_———___________0 | | Yesterday's Games | By The Associated Press NATIONAL LEAGUE Chicago New York a ‘Carlson and Hartnett; "iGietnons, Songer and Devormer, Second Game R Chieago . 2 +New Yor!

P. Flynn Is Able Man He's Clever Is First Manager to Go in For Fighting on Mass Scale —Middle Name Is Peter (BY JIMMY POWERS) Saratoga Springs, N. Y., July 19. (NEA)—If Jack Dempsey, the well-known Hollow Shell, gets by Jack Sharkey it will make the big- gest comeback in the history of the sport. And if he goes on to knock the fears off the erudite Gene Tunney it 11 mark a recordw-breaking epoch in the long dynasty of the heavy- weights. Now when, and if, all this comes to pass you are going to hear an awful lot about a gray-haired, foxy old Irishman named Leo Peter Flynn. Inasmuch as he is going to have so much to do with the public prints it is quite defensible that we jump the gun with an up-to-the minute personality sketeh. Leo Peter Flynn has more color, more personal accomplishments, more humor, more caginess and .is| more garrulous (with the possible excep- tion of “Dumb” Dan Morgan) than any other manager in the fight racket. He is the first man to go in for boxing management on a mass scale. One night he had 35 men from his stable fighting in various cities of the country “and the next morning, so help me, I got 13 telegrams from 13 different towns telling mé that 13 of them polookas went and got them- selves knocked cold!” Leo’s string of fighters reads like Tom Andrews’ boxing guide but of late he has become “notorious” (he would insist), as manager of Bill | Brennan and’ Dave Shade, those two grabbing him most of the ink.

Nearly 30 years of experience in administering the affairs of the American League has familiarized Johnson with every jute detail. He knows how much money is needed to finance a league, knows the saiaries of every big league ball player and is in touch with any number of capi- talists anxious to put some of their surplus money in a baseball venturi Even more important is the fa that after these many years of stifiec vompetition, the public will weicome a new-entry into the field of major league baseball Just as important is the fact’ that so dominan: figure as Kan Johnson at its head will have the backing of baseball fans the country over.

It would be a south side club in order to offer direct com- petition to his hated rival, Charles Comiskey.
