CHAMPION EATS LIKE A LONG- SHOREMAN. Dempsey made a olean-up jod of Po the matd, called that lunch all New York knew about it. The] (ting die also said that as big and strong as he looks he is more Hable to colds than a person, we for Instance, not so athletic, The con- stant rubbings and baths and going from perspiration into a dried-up condition left him susceptible to everything that was going and he had to keep himself well clothed to be comfortable, We were passing an old friend just about this time up on Boston Road, Dr, Joe Barry, a nose and throat specialist We thought it would be treat for the Doctor to see the champion, When we got inside the Doctor's house, Dempsey was for all the world like a kid brought to the dentist. His toothache Was all bet- ter, Doo Barry looked Dempsey over in admiration, noted that the two of them were exuctly the same height and then begun feeling the champion all over. He took him by the fore- arm and looked at Dempsey's wrist and doubled-up fist, measuring both his own, Calling another doctor from another room, he introduced Demp- sey and then, picking up Jack's wrist for the other's inspection, suid: “Here is where he gets that knock- out power.” “Look at his nose, Do I had sald, “he's just had an operation on it" The doctor had Dempsey on a chair before him, rigged the big light to his head und looked up both nostrils. “O. K." he suid. "Whoever did that operation gave you 4 perfect fighting nose, He cut out a piece of carti- tage and made it almost rubber, A punch on my nose would make me gee stars, You can take a blow there without much pain.” “Wonder jf his tonsils are alt right?” 1 asked the doctor, “He's been talking of them and thinks they are swollen.” Tho big, smiling champion |protested, and, like the boy we men- tioned before, ‘assured the doctor they were fine. “Sit down and let's have a loo! | won't take a minute,” pushing De ey into a chair at the same time Peering down Dempsey's throat with all the lights and pariphernalia nec- vesary, Barry arose, slapped Jack on the back and sald, "Clean as ao whistle.” Well, a blind man could see the champion changed from a frightened kid back to the confident, well con- ditioned athlete he ts. He was well satlefied with the visit, it OLAANG on our way again wo gum. Then he would dig into Demp- sey’s ribs for another handful of what seemed India rubber. From there he would move down and pinch and pull at the calves of the fighter, too roughly even for a champlon. The rubber, to us, was altogether too strenuous in his treatment. Dempsey rolled over on his back and the punching and pulling were continued. His legs were doubled up until his knees were almost parallel with his chest and then pulled back and out straight until his toes touched the extreme wall of the sta! room. HAD JUST DONE HARD WORK IN GYMNASIUM. Dempsey bad just run down from the old ship spardeck. Up there he had pulled at weights, not like you and I might, with feet together for @ doubling over, drag down around the shoetops and then an ypward spread with hands extended over the head, Juok took hold of the handles of the pullies and just danced up and down, back and forward, in graceful tiptoe fashion. He pulled at the weights from this side and that side, sometimes a little stronger with the right hand, and then an extra jerk with the left, Several other boxers who were tugging at the weights watched Dempsey carefully and tried to imitate him, They couldn't, Dempsey's work was done without apparent exertion, yet the perspira- tion was soon rolling down his high cheek bones from under a head pro- tector he wore for the boxing bouts to come, He kept his eyes toward the arena where Sam McVey and Big Bill Tate, two gentlemen of color, sre boxing. ‘There's, where he 4 to be. Finally ‘the colored yweighta got through and Jack hopped through the ropes pulling at the headgear to keep it from shading his eyes, don't like these things,” he sald, “but they tell me they're good to wear to prevent jast minute cuts and bruises which might be reopened in the ring Dempsey boxed with three big huskies, and, these were regular slug- s.

It all depends on the openings I see.” “Will you beat Brennan easily?" “Pu try hard, but [I expect he will! give me a good battle.” Dempsey’s trip, two and a half blocks from the training ship to his apartment, was a reminder of Charles Dana Gibson's famous picture, “The Champion,” representing Jeffries, fol- lowed and surrounded by an army of youngatere. The picture fits Demp- sey better than it did Jeffries. Jack, entirely surrounded by youngsters, two or three on each arm, the rest clutching at hig coattails, and the bravest of the others actually taking a wallop at his back asa souvenir to talk about for years to come possibly. ‘The throng behind Dempsey was two blocks long.

DOES CIRCUS FEAT DURING SPRINT Catches Front Tire as It Comes Off, and Wins the $25 Prize. By Richard Freyer. F YOU HEAR that Reggio MoNa- mara haa signed up with @ circus for next spring, don't be sure prised, as he performed a feat last might In the Garden that was the most thrilling ever seen during the running of a six-day race. It was just before the night point #prints and during the running of a sprint for $25 offered by a spectator that (this unusual happening took place. While going at top speed Reggie's front tire came off. He reached down and caught It in his left hand, and An instant later crossed the line in front and captured the prize. Reggie's quick action and cirous stunt prevented a bad spill, as Fred- die Taylor was mght bebind him at the time, At this time to-morrow all the riders participating in the race will be sound asleep in the hay. The wheel chaperons usually close their eyes for anywhere from twelve to twenty- four hours after they punch the “going out" card of the pedal pushers’ union. Egg and McNamara have been the hard luck babies of the continuous six-day whirl. The Swiss-Australian duet had a set of opportunities to get up with the leaders by pilfering a lap, but in both instances one of their op- ponents sprained a tendon or some- thing on his wheel and hit the wooden saucer with his body. How- ever, the race has a few ‘more hours to go before the referee yells “All out!" Maybe Egg and his partner will come through yet. Tickets for the final dash of the riders cannot be had for any amount of dough. The Garden box office was swept as clean ax Chris Walback’s high hat early to-day. The grind, from a financial standpoint, has been the greatest success ever run In the pugilistic bungalow of Mr. Tex Rick- ard. The home of famous events and the Dog Show has been intoxicated with humanity in all sizes, shapes and forms every afternoon and evening this week. Indications point toward another six-day affair at the Garden some time in March. Perhaps Goullet, Magin, Madden, Hill and the other stars will be in good standing with the cycling association by that time. If they are the field will be composed of over twenty starters. Society Note—Col, Bozeman Bulger honored the promoters, the riders customers by giving the once over, The Colonel ive I. He looked a bit tigued from his long journe overjoyed that his village resented. CARPENTIER SEES MORAN KNOCK OUT BECKETT IN 2 ROS.

The end came suddenly, when, in the midst of a furious rally, Moran crashed a rip- ping uppercut to the chin, felling his adversary for the full count. The bout was even in the first round, Moran circled warily about and suddenly lashed out witha left lead to the head. Before the blow landed, however, Beckett hammered a heavy right to the Jaw. Moran shook his head and, flailing out with a right swing, ran Into a clinch, The Americun held on tightly, and was warned by the referee. The round ended shortly afterward, Moran advanced with outstretched left and poised right in t second round, but the Englishman was wa Beckett peppered Moran with llght lotts and the Amertcan suddenly charged trying short arm Jolts as he clo: He fatled to land effectively, he and Beckett shot a powerful right » ; to ped Moran then cut a fusillade of blows, and th man met the attack In k ¥ standing toe to two when auddenly the An strength into a liftir landed flush on his ¢ Beckett slumped to th counted out.
