DEMPSEY STILL
TIGER OF RING
Shows it in Training For
Match With
Miske
By DEAN SNYDER.
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Aug.
30.—Champion Jack Dempsey is still
the tiger fighter in the ring and
the boy outside it.
If a fourteen months’ layoff has
made any differences in his fighting
prowess it doesn’t show in any of
his work and he goes about the daily
routine of training so his Labor Day
mill here with Billy Niske, of St.
Paul.
No boxer ever got more actual en
poyment out of fighting than the
present champion. The only trouble
with Dempsey is that he has to be
held back from overdoing. He tears
into his sparring partners like it was
a real fight.
Dempsey doesn’t know how to pull
his punches, as any of those who
have boxed with him, including Jess
"Willard, will testify.
Rumors that he had grown fat and
soft while making pictures is with
out credence. His exhibition boxing
in New York served to put him on
edge and to swing him back into his,
old stride.
His weight varies from two to three
pounds over 190 popnds. He says
he’ll bring it down to 187 before
September 6. There is no apparent
superfluous fat on his muscular body.
He’s Toughened.
When asked if he believed he was
as good as when he won the title,
Dempsey thought a little while before
answering.
“That is hard to say,” he finally
replied. “I ought to be. I’m a year
older now. That ought to toughen
me. I feel stronger, and then I’ve
developed more around the back and
shoulders.
“If there is any difference in me
now than when I fought at Toledo
it may be that my eyes aren’t quite
as quick, perhaps, as they were then.
A fighter has to be going regular
in order to keep his eyes in trim.
Miske is a strong, tough fellow. They
say he is heavier and in better health
than when I boxed him at both St.
Paul and Philadelphia two years ago.
I hope he fights me for those are
the kind of birds I like best.”
His camp is pitched within a hun
dreds yards of the battle arena. Pro
moter Floyd Fitzsimmons, the man
who has sunk a cold SIOO,OOO in this
Labor Day card already, has turned
over his cottage to Dempsey and his

with Benny Leonard.
Likes the Water.
Dempsey drinks a lot of the Benton
Harbor mineral water. There is a
pump at the rear of his cottage where
he gets it fresh and sparkling from
deep down in the Michigan sands.
He starts the day’s work with a
five-mile run, accompanied by the
ever faithful Bill Tate and Joe Gans,
his colored sparranig partners. The
roads ar e soft and sandy. The big fel
low can’t make much speed. This is
the only feature of the training site
he doesn’t like. The sand slows him
up and what he wants most is speed.
He rises at 6:30, eats a light break
fast, and goes on the road at 8
o’clock.
Ben Smith takes him in tow after
the road work. Ben hasn’t a peer
any place, .probably as a rubber.
What he says goes. Dempsey may
make suggestions as to how he wants
things done, but that’s as far as it
counts. Ben knows his business and
does it.

Here are the latest picture* of Champion Jack Dempsey, taken by Bob
Darman, N. E. A. photographer, at Benton Harbor. At the left is Dempsey
punching th esandbag. The force of his blow can be noted from the curved
dent in it. On the right Jack" is tearing into his sparring! partner, "Panama”

boy he was when he won thetitle. Note there are no lines in hi* face yet.
tracting children to him.
The intervening time before he•
does his ring work is taken up by
reading the papers, a light lunch at
noon, a game of solitaire, sometime
a nap, and perhaps a spin to the
downtown headquarters in Promoter
Fitzsimmons’ big red roadster.
Rushes Everything.
His training ring is just in front
of the ball park grandstand. He
boxes, at 3:30. Miske works out at
2:30 at Ike Berstein’s quarters, about
three-quarters of a mile up the road.
It is arranged this way so that the
crowds can see both Miske and Demp
sey get in battle form- The fans
rush from one camp to another try
ing to get the inside dope on the
match.
All the while Dempsey is working
he rushes everything—first the punch
ing bag, then his sparring partners,
and then finishes off by whanging
the daylights out of old “Sal,” the
250-pound leather covered sand bag.
He goes three rounds with both
Tate and Gans. Dempsey uses the
towering form of Tate for body
punching practice, but he also takes
some pretty stiff smack’s from Tate’s
powerful swings. That toughens
him up and he likes it. Gans weighs
about 148 pounds. Dempsey has to
speed up to keep the Panama boy

Mary E. Godwin, as the guardian for
my minor children, to-wit: Mary E.l
Godwin and Rufus Godwin, all of
whom are residents of said state and i

Georgia’s Next
U. S. Senator
Hugh M. Dorsey
This race is won.
Hugh M. Dorsey is going to be the next United States Sen
ator from Georgia.
Overwhelmingly favorable reports from every county in
every district in the State leave no doubt as to the result.
The evidence is piled up here in Dorsey headquarters in a
daily mail so large that an extensive force of stenographers can
scarcely handle it.
Over 100 enthusiastic Hugh M. Dorsey Clubs have been
organized in as many counties all over Georgia.
The names of voters —many thousands of them—are signed
to these lists.
Hugh Dorsey is going to carry more than 100 counties in
the primary, including Fulton, his home county, and all the other
six vote counties in the state.
The fight is won against Watsonism—won by Dorsey.
Senator Smith will be a poor third in the race, and will not
even poll as large a vote as in the presidential primary when he
was the last man in the running.
This is the natural result of Hoke Smith’s betrayal of the
Democracy of Georgia in the convention of May 18th, when he
I combined with Watson in denouncing the National Administra
• tion, and attempting to stab it in the back.
Every report reaching out headquarters shows conclusively
that this is a contest between Dorsey and Watson, and that Hoke
Smith has not even a remote chance of figuring in the conven
tion.
When Georgians go to the polls on September Bth, they
are going to put their emphatic stamp of disapproval on the
Watson-Smith combination, and its assault upon the platform and
administration.
Georgian's will not tolerate party assassination.
They will repudiate wobbling, turncoatism.
They are going to do it in the onyl possible way—by elect
ing Hugh M. Dorsey United States Senator.
DORSEY IS A SURE WINNER.
