Has “civilization” hurt Jack Dempsey as a fighter? life has been revolutionized in a space of a comparatively few short years, This metamorphosis, inci- dentally eliminated all need of fight. ing—for self preservation or profit. Why shouldn't Dempsey " be changed man? Ten years ago Dempsey belonged to that stratum of human life which believes that society is against its members. And, believing this, see life as a fight to “defeat” the in visible enemy, Dempsey looked at life that a way He met conditions as he made them. | He grew hard to méet hard cond! | * | | tions.

He finally found that he could earn money by swapping punches with some one a bit less fortunate in the matter of brawn and “sock” in the ring instead of railroad yards, How Jack Kearns found him dubbing around as a ham and tighter and guided him to the title in history When Dempsey entered the ring against Jess Willard in that sizzling afena in ‘Poledo, in 1919, he was the perfect fighter, He wan a perfect physical specimen. He had been training six weeks with but one de- psire—to climb into that ring and ntef~outTof It over the brulsed and mutilated form of Willard As he sat in his corner momen tarily before being called to the cen- ter of tho ring he impressed me as being more of a bulldog than a hu- man being. When he faced Willard in the center of the ring he carried murder in his eyes, He shunned Willard’s glances—as though lie wanted the good look at the man to be as Willard lay stretebed out ‘on the floor.

Now, these changes, thrust upon a man of Dempésey's énvironment, can have but two effects—a’ refining one or a rulnous-one. Dempsey, fortunatelyor unfortu nately (depending upon‘ whether you look at it from) the social or pugills. tic end) found himself called friend by men of big caliber. He was ta ken into the homes of :fillionaires, dined at their tables, entertainefl in their drawing rooms where a refine ment and luxury that he bad never tasted was impressed upon him He found ‘himselt miore interested in Ustening to their talk of business than in hearing himself talk of ring | conquests.
