MONDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 30, 1920 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.

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. After the rubdown Jack has a lit tle time of his own.

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 Rub-My-Tism 1* a great pain killer.

Did you know this, fellow citi-i zens? Did you know that Tom Watson had negroes elected to the General Assembly of Georgia on his Populist platform; had the mleected over good true white men? Did you know that Tom Watsor advised and told the negroes in those days that they had just as much right in the white hotels and trains as any white man or woman in Georgia? Yet in the face of all of this Wat son is asking the WHITE DEMO CRATS of Georgia to vote for him. This message is addressed to you, MR. SOUTHERN WHITE MAN.

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 county, will apply to the Judge of; Sumter Superior court on the 7th day of September, 1920, at his office; in Americus, Georgia, at 9 o’clock' a. m. for leave to sell for the pur pose of reinvestment the following described property of my said wards,, to-wit: The whole of lot two hundred two, (202) containing two hundred two and one-half acres (202 1-2) acres, more or less, also eighty (30) acres, off of the southern portion of lot number two hundred one (201). Said) lands lying and being in one body in the 26th district of Sumter county, i Georgia, and containing in the ag gregate two hundred eighty-two and one-half (282 1-2) acres, more or less. The reason for desiring to sell said land is that the same is unprofitable I and a charge and expense upon my self as guardian, as aforesaid, does not yield any income, the same hav ing lain out for the years 1919 and 1920; on account of my inability to rent the same, and the same not I for who vere you please and the mem bers of the American Legion are not going to try to take that right away from you they are not trying to tell i you to vote for either. But the ; members of the American Legion do ask that before you cast your vote i for Mr. Watson or Mr. Harwick I that you stop and think what con i dition the country would be in today I had Mr. Watson’s policies been put into effect. Negroes would today be stopping at the white hotels and riding in the same coaches with our fair white la dies of the southland. Can true Geor gians even dream of that? Today Mr. Hardwick indorses Mr. Watson’s platform in full and is run ning side by side as his political part ner; attempting to defend Mr. Wat ’ son for these sayings of the past. Are the good, true, white people of Georgia going to stand for such as Tom Watson and Tom Hardwick?

This August 12th, 1920. MRS. MARY E. GODWIN, Guardian for Rufus Godwin and Mary Godwin, Minors. 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.
