SLACKER CHARGES NOT JUSTIFIED New York Sport Scribe Puts Benny Leonard in Same} Class as Dempsey but Gahan Thinks Otherwise; | Training Helped Men BY One New York sporting writer in Fighting Germans 3DDIE GAHAN . who receives his little check from the well-known and prosperous fight trusts which guides the destinies of Jack Dempsey, Jack Kearns, etc., coming out in defence of Jack} Dempsey, at the same time taking a slam at the American Legion, the| most powerful organization in the country, declares that “if Jack ard.

And leged sport w in claims the boxing instructors were “slackers. The writer, in company with Lieut. Renne Rojulet, a French lason officer, stood watching class of soldiers back in Camp Meade, Admiral, Md., going} thru their shadow boxing, with Captain | James Patrick O'Donavon, a former} American pugilist, then in the British army, as the instructor. “Magnificent,” was the Frenchman's comment. “If the French armies only had taken this ‘exercise, we would— What you call him—have Heinie on the run long ago.

How many readers have glanced down the present roster of the New York American ellub and scanned the stars that will appear at the Polo grounds this year. With the pu ase of Babe Ruth, the Yankees now have the very pitching staff that chucked the Boston Red Sox to a world’s championship back in 1916. They are Babe Ruth, hore, Dutch Leonard and Carl Ernie Mays. |Is this fair to the other teams?

EVERY CHAMPION A CLO: CONTENDER | Never before in the history of the ‘boxing game has each champion had so [many close contenders for his title.

M. Lichtenberg, who re- sides at 4420 Firty-first St., South Se attle, Wash., recently. Continuing, she said: “For years and years I have suffered with nervousness and finally became so badly run down I was on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. The least little excitement or noise ont of the ordinary would upset me and it would be hours before I could com- pose myself, I could get but little sleep, and night after night I would lie awake all night long and just roll and toss from one side of the bed to the other, and would get up in the morning feeling a great deal worse than when I went to \bed, and in spite of all T could do I just kept getting weaker and weaker. I was also troubled a great deal with my stomach. I had a very poor appetite, and when I did manage to force down a little something it would sour and I would bloat terrible from gas, and would haye such in- tense pains in my, stomach after each meal I could hardly stand them. I lost so much in weight, was so badly run down TI just had to drag around, and it was with the greatest difficulty I man- aged to do my housework. “I had read a great deal about Tan- lac helping others and decided to try it, too, and I noticed an improvement in my condition almost as soon as I began taking it. At this time I took a trip east, and as Tanlac had notrbeen put on sale at that time where I was visiting I had the druggist order me some from the manufacturers, as I did not want to miss a single dose for fear of losing the benefits I had already re- ceived from it. Well, I continued tc of Jack Dempsey. fut before going any further, ‘tis well to say, Jack, unadorned, isn't a bad looking sort of a chap. Fut cameras do funny things to heavy eye-brows, fighter’s noses and straight black hair. So poor Jack has had: His hair marcelled. ‘ His nose built up with putty—(ke only Wears the putty annex while in front of the camera). And his eyebrows thinned and arched. What's more, ali this beauty doctor stuff hasn't hurt his wallop a bit, ac- cording to Spike Robinson, former Eng lish pugilist, and Al Kauffman, once noted heavyweight.

DOROTHY DALTON AT THE IRIS THEATRE TONIGHT A new twist to the old story of the country girl who comes to New York in search of fame is given by “The Mar- ket of Souls,” the new Paramount- Arteraft picture starring Dorothy Dal- ton which will be shown at the Iris theater today. Miss Dalton plays the role of a girl.from upstate New York, who has been trained as a nurse and comes to the big city to follow her pro- fession. There she meets two brothers —one a “rounder,” the other a real man. Forthwith her exciting adven- tures commence. How she finds hap- piness with the man she loves, after ithe evil brother has expiated -his wrong by meeting a soldier's death on,the bat- ‘tlefield, forms the pJot of what is said to be the greatest photoplay in which Miss Dalton has yet been seen. ee PITTS SCORES IN ‘OTHER HALF’ Zozu ‘Jazz Pitts scored a real hit in ‘The Other Half” at the Lyric thea- ter last night. The picture—different in many ways from the usual run of photoplays—was augmented by the nact- ifig of the unaffected Miss Pitts who enly a year ago was an unknown, The usiol full program was made up of a weehly news ord spicy comedy sitst night.
