As far as the factor of confidence itself is concerned, the theory might be advanced that Dempsey, after his ex- perience with Firpo, should have more faith in himself than ever before. He found out that he could “take it” \from the hardest right-hand hitter in the business, and feat should not reduce his reliance. | “My idea,” McAuliffe says, “is not that Dempsey wil! be less courageous in the future, but that he will be more} Row pending, the Indians will have cautious. Certainly, caution has been no part of the cham-| pion’s makeup and, in fact, it was the apparent indifference | {toward danger in the ring that made him the great fighter he is. |Using a Simile “ EXT to man, I have always felt that a thorobred horse is the most human thing in existence./ The horse and the athlete have sev culties In common that can ed out when we study them recall ft.
