The Jack Dempsey of today is a | changed individual. Not only is the |old gleam back in Jack's eye, but | much of his playtulness has return- | ed, reminding his admirers, and even neutral observers, that there 18 as | much difference between the Demp- sey of today and the Dempsey of 12 months ago as there s between day and night. | The present day Dempsey, mno longer worried with lawsuits, and the menacing threats of his former | manager, Jack Kearns, ismore like | the Dempsey of the Firpo days | four years ago. The critics say he | a3 improved 50 per cent over his | nental and physical condition |when he fought Tunney in the rain |at Philadelphia, and that he is 25 | per cent a better fighter than when {he knocked out Jack Sharkey two months ago. | His body is lean, his eyes are | bright and clear; there does not | seem to be an ounce of superfluous | flesh on his frame; even the slight | rolls of fat that were so noticeable | during his training for Sharkey at | Saratoga have disappeared under his long siege of training at this | acing plant. | Dempsey has been Tere under the w in training atehful eye of the old fox of fistiana, Leo P. Flynn, | who has brought him right up to | the edge for fighting, so that Demp- | sey will enter the ring Thursday in | top condition. | Iis weight today was within a | ew ounces of the 197 pound mark, | \dicating that he possibly would | weigh around 195 pounds at weigh- ng-in time Thursday afternoon. Dempsey, in his t ining, particu- larly in the last few days, gave dence that he is so close to be- | ng the Manassa Mauler of old, it his friends can hardly distin- suish the difference. His legs look- | 4 good, he moved around the ring speedily, with the same old weav- ing crouch and inside the ropes he was the old glowering, charging, viclous Dempsey of the primitive fighting instinct. His left hooks, often called the greatest in heavy- weight history, found their mark as accurately as ever, The talked-about efforts to trans- form Dempseys ring style—if e ever wer such efforts— c:emin, naught Demp Tunney | this weck will be the same aggres- ive, tearing slugger that nailed at Toledo, Miske at Ben arbor, and later Carpenticr Firpo in the east. His punch-timing has been ac- curate. e still is using with a devastation to which his sparmates | attest that hort right whi trav- els a few inches, vet sinks with crushing foree to the hody.

His reasop for excluding the public, and later the corre- spondents, was because he objected to widespread comment about him unnceessarily punishing sparring partners, and when he permitted his sparmates to whale away at him | without a return because he was practicing defe | when he wrote “open letter” to Tunney, asking | the champion to explain the con- | tract signed with Max (Boo Boo) Moff of Philadelphia and other things which he regarded as pe- iar just before that battle in the {Sesqui-Centennial ~ stadium.
