F. vinning foot ball have Left Hook to Chin—Jack to Rest After Sun- day Until Night of the Fight. By the Associated Press. LINCOLN FIELDS, Crete, Il1, Sep- tember 16.—Jack Dempsey is this close today to the scowling ferocity of his Toledo battle eight years ago when he won the heavyweight title—he has scored his first knockout of a sparring partner since he started training here three weeks ago. Whitey Allen, a Boston 185-pounder, took a left-hook to the chin last night and folded up for the evening. Allen was the third of six sparmates in Dempsey’s third moonlight workout, which was put on before 100 visiting sports writers who had been grum- bling about the secrecy of Jack’s prep- arations. Mauls Krueger, Too. Dempsey cut loose, too, against Ben- ny Krueger, German heavyweight, the last of the six, but Krueger man- aged to last out the round. The Ger- man battler caught two of those left hooks, followed by a right to the mid- section, which draped him on the ropes. In strange contrast to these two periods of furious attack, Dempsey al- lowed Big Boy Peterson to throw gloves at him for nearly half of their round, apparently studying the rangy New Orleans heavyweight for his re- puted similarity to Tunney’s upright style. Peterson stabbed the former cham- pion with sevaal lefts to the head. and twice connected with right upper. cuts, before Dempsey decided to start the attack. From then on Peterson was in full retreat, but he had out- scored the former champion when their round ended. Perhaps it was this realization that sent Dempsey into full speed against Allen, who followed Peterson into the ving, for Allen was sprawling on the floor before the round was half over. Allentown Joe Gans and Roy Wil- liams followed Allen and gave Demp- sey his best workout of the evening. The two lighter boxers shot in many left hooks twithout any return, but Jack kept veaving into close quarters with them. Joffries a Spectator. Among the 100 privileged guests who came out to the camp in a fleet of taxicabs was James J. Jeffries, once the wearer of the heavyweight crown. He was as usual, refusing to express an opinion. Only one more such heavy workout is planned by Manager Leo P. Flynn, before the newspaper men tonight. Sunday he will do his st hard training and from then on will rest until the night of the fight, next Th :, except for loosening up exercises each day. Mrs. Estelle Taylor Dempsey is ex- pected to spend the week end at the clubhouse, when the heavy workouts are completed.

The Sales Manager said this shoe was a duplicate of So-And-So’s, and that one was a reproduction of another high-grade manufacturer’s popular model, etc., etc. When I asked for the original shoe that they copied, and put them side-by-side, I couldn’t tell which was which, without looking at the labels. Our factory Manager showed me one shoe that he had cut apart to find out how, and what it was made of. And our Upper and Sole Leather Buyer convinced me the material in the duplicate was exactly the same or just as good as the original. .
