INSTANCES. OF IRISH
BRAVERY IN THE WAR

Captain Thomas M. MacMahon, who
is kinsman of Marshall MacMahon
OF France, now of the Irish Guards,
was recently in Boston and in an in
terview with Mr.. James T. Sullivan of
the Boston Globe, told what the Irish
had done and were doing in the big
war.
Ireland placed 5S.1 per cent of her
man power in the field up to January
l last, not including the Irishmen in
the army and navy when the war
started, and the Irish that enlisted in
the Scotch, Welsh and English regi-
ments. They were all volunteers.
More than 10000 more enlisted
since the Dublin uprising in 1916.

DEMPSEY'S QUICK RISE
TO FAME AS A BOXER

The game Of pugilism presents any
number of weird performances and it
is not unusual to see some young
fellow of championship caliber drop
from the Skies" as they say on the
turf. AS an instance, we have at the
present time this young Jack Demp-
sey, whose meteoric rise to the top
ranks in the heavyweight division is
the talk everywhere boxing is known,
spoken or thought, says Ray Pearson.
Enough has already been said about
the class of Dempsey to make it I'M
necessary to dwell to any great length
on his pugilistic ability. Suffice to
say that he has more than made good
everything that has been said of him
by his most admiring friends. He is
the goods and almost certain to be-
come the next heavyweight champion
of the world if Jess Willard will either
get out of the way or fight him. At
least that's the opinion of few folks
who generally know what they are
doing when doping a scrap.
In the case of Dempsey his swift
rise must be considered remarkable.
| One reason is that heavyweights are
not as quickly developed as the boys
of the lighter classes. In the first
place the great majority are so heavy
that they are lacking in speed.
There's Jess Willard, Fred Fulton,
Tom Cowler, and a lot of others who,
placed alongside of this Dempsey, ap-
pear slow as car horses. They
haven't got the speed, and the view of
| the outsider would indicate that they
have spent nearly all their develop
ment period in an effort to swing
heavy punches and while they them
| selves assimilate the same type of
| blows
But it is not so with Dempsey.
| That's where he has the edge on the
| others. 1t is this in a great measure
| which has been responsible for his
| rise from nowhere to somewhere in
three years of professionalism. Three
years is a mighty short time to get to
| the top in the fighting game. There
have been many boxers who have
| spent all their fighting years trying
to get there and never succeeded.
There have been others who have
used up as much as ten or fifteen
years in the uphill grind before they
landed title or could be termed top.
