Some of the best built men I ever saw were perfect dubs at any athletic sport they tried, and some of the mast awkward were record breakers, But take a man with a keen, quick eye and perfect judgment of distances and angles and he can do the traps, play a good game of golf, with equal facility. It isn’t entirely Hay: way: “Bill, fight leare of yourself ay. I'm going after you.” In the first round Demp- sey knocked Tate down with a right and left to the body. Tate was given half a minute to recover. When he| got.up he was purely on the defensive, | stepping back and guarding with both arms, Demp junged at him, hit him over the heart with a right and hooked a left through his guard to the exact polnt of his jaw, knocking him down and out. Willard was a victim of Dempsey’s accurate hitting. One reason for Wil- lard’s quick defeat was his last- moment change of plan, The day be- fore the fight Willard said ‘This will be the softest fight I ever had, be- cause Dempsey will fotce it from the start, and I can whip any man who hie be 94 fo a.

WA THE RING “oan and, contemptuous of-anything that the smaller man could do, Inflated with @ concelt in his own bulk and power, Willard walked after Dempsey, Jabbed at him with the easy tolerance of a champion playing with a novice, and stepped #auarely into two of the hardest punches he ever felt In his life. As Willard jabbed a third time, Dempsey ducked under the extended left arm and hit him a terrific right- hander at the edge of the ribs on his left side, just below the heart. A fraction of a second Inter Dempset left, curving over Willard'’s low guard, crashed against the side of his jaw and sent him stagrering back. That blow was perfectly timed and placed and would have knocked out a less powerful man. It was practically a knockout for Willard, for he told Rickard next morning he was so nea: ly knocked out by Dempsey’s first ‘blow on the jaw that he never reco’ ered speed or strength, Dempsey fol- lowed with flailing blows, and, as I remember, he didn't miss Walard once. Dempsey wastes fewer blows than any other champion I ever saw. {He lands practically every one he starts. Lob Fitestmmons had a great hit- ting eye, but being a middleweight fighting heavyweights, he had to use Tore strategy than Dempsey. His favorite trick was to swing and miss by @ narrow margin, making his op- Ponent move and leave an opening for the real punch, When his chance came Fitzsimmons placed his finish- ing punch perfectly, Jeffries was a sharpshooter with his left, Corbett McCoy, Choynski, Maher and a lot of the old timers had remarkably accu- rate eyes for hitting. TENNIS CHAMPION JOHNSTON “SHARPSHOOTS” TOO, A!) crack tennis players have quick ami extremely accurate eyes, With- | out this important asset they couldn’ | play the game in the style they do Wilding, the great Australian, who was killed in the war had very quick, keen eyes. I have often noticed the sharp, straight lines and fox-like quickness of Champion Johnston's eyes. No player ever equalled him at placing hard driven balls when play- ing at top speed. The eye does it. There is an old notion that the sarp-squinting eye is the eye of the |fiebter, Sometimes a man's eyes squint because of long exposure t bright sunlight, but in almost every case the fighting eye ts the popped- en eye that sees « thing. This Was characteristic of the “bad met of the frontier days, The movie “bad men" squint and scowl, but all the “bad men” T ever saw in the West (with a single exception, and his rec. ord consisted mostly of shooting from ambush) had quick, boldly wide-open eyes. ‘The boxer in the ring doesn't squint He wants to see everything that moves in front of him, Notice a toxer in danger of being knocked vut, ¢ Tpvariably when desperate he fights th eyes as wide ope: ait popped pen ag As a rule, golfers are more inclined than any other athletes to squint jwhile in action, ‘This is because they jdon't need to see anything but the |ball while hitting—in fact, should pot see anything but the bail.

HE Metropolitan racing season of 1919, winding up this after- noon at the Empire City race track, has been the most remark- able in many ways since what is known as the “good old days,” which ended in 1910, The sport, which was thought doomed when public bettin was then abolished and the bettin ring vacated, has come back by d grees since its resumption in 1913, but it remained for this season to bring {t to the topmost wave of suc- cess and popularity, It isn’t juggling facts to say that to-day racing is conducted on the highest possible plane, that competition among horses is keener than ever, an@ that the public never had more reason to lend its enthusiasm to a sport which com- pares with, if indeed it doesn’t ex- cel, any outdoor pastime in the world. Ajtendances have been as big as in the old times, not only on Saturdays and holidays but on week days too, and if every association on the local circuit doesn’t show a balance on the right side of the ledger we are sadly mistake Racing, of course, will be continued throughout the winter months in Maryland, Kentucky, New Orleans, Havana possibly Tiuana, but when New York closes down it usually fixes the end of the racing year. Columns of space would be required to review the past season at length, so we Will not attempt it here. Let it be sufficient to take a glange back- ward to May 15, when the racing year began at Jamaica, and pick out the big history makers of the turf from vhen on. There are three classes of hors exclusive of selling platers, namely, two-year-olds, three-year-olds and the handicap division, MAN O' WAR SUPREME AMONG JUVENILES. In the first class there is no que tioning who turned out the cham- ion, He is Man o' War, a son of ‘air Play and Mahubah, ‘owned by amuel D, Riddle and trained by Louis Feustel, He was so far superior to the rest of the juveniles that they seemed very ordinary in comparison He started ten times and was beaten oniy once, then in the Sanford Me- morial, when only the worst kind of racing luck enabled Harry Payne Whitney's Upset to stagger home in front of him. Man o' War cafried all kinds of weight up to 130 pounds; ran os well in mud as in fast going, raced in front and came from behind He went into eetirement after winning the Futurity, with all the juvenile features of the year to his credit, in- cluding the Hopeful, the Grand Union Hotel Stakes, the United States, the Keene Memorial, the youthful Tri mont and Hudson, winnings repre- senting $84,470, Many horsemen re- gards him ‘ag the best two-year-old Which ever raced in this country, No other two-year-old ever threat- ened Man o’ War. Aside from Upset, which beat him more by accident than jard players, used to put Willie up on ide the billiard table so reach far enough to ntil he became in- pn, Hoppe's “eye” was a cue, anything el#e, W.
