K.—Turns to Protective Boxing. BY JACK DEMPSEY. TLANTIC CITY, N. J.. September 6—It's never a good idea to pass judgment on what a fighter will or will not do two or three weeks hefore the fight. for up to that time, and ndt really until a week before the actual fight, does he begin to show just what he intends to use in the battle to come. As far as I can figure out. my training here has puzzled a lot of folks. I hear that many of them think that I have “dried out” and that I'm “all through and that the old fighting spirit “is gone.” Maybe they are right, but T'd suggest that they wait until a few days hefore the fight to ge a_real line on my work. gomoThe kind of training I have been doing here difiers from what 1 have lone for my other fights. But there's a reason. And the big reason is he first time I am directing my own training. I know pretty well about my physical self. T know when I'm going right—and when I'm not.

Although dunroe more nearly approximated the champion's poundage than any opponent encountered up to that time, he was helpless from the outset. Mun- roe weighed 210 to Jeffries’ 219. Referee Graney was quoted as say- ing Jeffries had Munroe at his mercy and could easily have killed him. Munroe picked out a hazardous resting place in the first round when of the ring. He slid from this uncer- tain vantage point to the canvas, where he took a count of six. Only the bell permitted him to weather a stormy first round. Strange to say. the challenger was confident and even enthusiastic—be- fore the fight. Kid MeCoy on this occafion offered a challenge with reservations.

Miss Browne won three national championships of America—s| mixed doubles, with R. liams, and doubles with s Green—at Philadelphia, in June, 1912. She retained her singles title in 1913 and 1914, in 1921 she re-entered chamuvion- ship play, but lost to Mrs. Molla Mallory after three sets. She par- ticipated in many of the Kast against West matches and was captain of the American team in the play for the Wightman {up at Forest Hills. ) During the last two seasons Miss Browne has shown a reversion to the splendid form which took her to three national champion- ships.
