Out in the west you can get two answers to this from any two men you question.

In their careers both men met a number of opponents in common and if you eliminate the Shelby battle Miske’s showing stands out as better that is taking Miske when fliness had not claimed him and he was at his best.

Press-.—Since Jack Dempsey took a smacking from Luis Firpo that alk most knocked him out, Jack Mc- Auliffe is wondering if the heavy- weight champion will be the same; reckless, dashing, chance-taking fighter that he was before the fight with the South American. Up to the time he elected to swap punches with one of the most dan- serous hitters of all times, Demp- aey’s most valuable asset was his conviction that he was invincible and that he couldn’t even be knock. 2d off his feet. Dempsey had such a narrow es- cape in finding om that he was not punch-proof that the veteran retired lightweight champion-is not alone n having the hunch that the heavy- of that valuable confidence in him- self. As far as the factor of confidence itself is concerned, the theory might be advanced that Dempsey, after his experience with Firpo should have more faith in himself than ever be- fore. He found out that he could “take it’ from the hardest right- hand hitter in the business and that should not reduce his reliance. “My idea” McAuliffe says “is not that Dempsey will be less courageous in the future but that he will be more cautious. Certainly caution has been no part of the champlon’s makeup and in fact it was the ap. parent indifference toward danger in the ring that made him the great fighter he is. “Next to man T have always felt that a theroughbred horse is the most human thing in existence. The horse and the athlete have several faculties in common that can be picked out when we study them a ttle. “On the track you can find the front runner; the horse goes well when ho is in the lead and that falt- ers when he is challenged. We can find the same type among human athletes runners and boxers. We have the game. stout-hearted anima} that takes a delight in coming from behind and winning on a heart more than anything else, and there are athletes of the same type. “To get down to my point abow Dempsey and the possible effect that the Firpo fight might have had on him, I want to use the horse again for a simile. “Several years ago there was a corking jumper at the Brighton track named James McGowan, as I recall it. In one race he got a bad fall at one of the Jumps, and he was never any good after that at that track. He always refused that jump When he came to it in later races. He was game, but he had developed what might be referred to as a mental hazard at that spot where he had been hurt. “Another example of the same can be found in another thoroughbred named Barnum, who stepped in a hole on the far turn a the same Brighton track and went down. Ever after that he went wide around that identical spot and all the [pun in the world could not get him near it. “Those two examples, of course, were the result of instinct, but with fighters, instinct plays a most im- portant and vital part. Dempsey, I feel sure, was knocked dizzy by the first punch of Firpo and he put up one of the greatest fights of a’l times on instinct alone. “T had an experience of the same kind. way back in 1886. I was fight ing Jack Hopper at the New York Athletic Club and I ran into a right hand punch early in the first round. | Just as Dempsey did. It landed high }on my cheek-bone, and I fought for | four rounds completely bewildered. I pont remember a thing from the start of the fight until I was ready to go out for the fifyh round. “The important ads I wish to make is that, ever after that, I was very cautious about a right-hand punch, I found myself time after time pulling away wien I saw a jrisht hand starting. flinch. It be came so serious with me at one time |Vernon, Calif., club of the Pacific Coast league, was bought by the | Reds ‘for $30,000 and two players, while Connie Mack was reputed to have parted with approximately $100,000 in cash and players for three minor league sensations— Paul Strand, Salt Lake City, out- fielder; Al Simmons, Milwaukee, out- fielder, and Max Bishop, Baltimore. nfielder. M’AULIFFE TALKS OF DEMPSEY’S FUTURE; CAUTION IS FORECAST that I questioned my own gameness, and it was not until after the Gil more fight that I became sure of my- elf. “I wonder if the same thing will happen to Dempsey. Admitting that the personal factor is seldom the same in any two cases, I still can’t see how Dempsey can avoid being cautious and if he does start to watch, even a little, his efficiency will be reduced {n a very important degree.” McAuliffe is not one of the ad- mirers of Dempsey who have advanc- ed the theory that the champion went out with the deliberate inten- tion of proving how good he was by throwing aside all science that he might have had to beat Firpo at his own game. “Dempsey is no fool,” McAuliffe said, “and anyone who would take any such a chance with a million dollars at stake would be worse than a fool. Dempsey fought the way he did because his mind was put out of commission by a punch and his in- stinct kept the machinery going. “If Dempsey ever gets knocked groggy with a punch, the latent fear of a righthand punch will assert {t- self and he is liable to get his ears knocked off with a Ieft hand.” HO CHANGE IN BIKE CONTEST CHICAGO, Jan. 9.—Positions of the leaders in the six-day interna- tional bicycle race were unchanged from yesterday at 6 o'clock this morning, the 57th hour of the race, Five teams in the lead had covered 996 miles and nine laps at that time.
