DEMPSEY is
AFTER TITLE
Pacific Coast Star Has Been
Cutting Figure in the
Heavy Class.

Out Of the West has flashed a new
meteor Of the boxing world.
Jack Dempsey. young. husky and
ambitious, has designs on Jess VIII
lard's jealousy guarded title and ap-
pears to be the most likely contender
in the heavyweight ranks.
Dempsey's great handicap at present
is his lack Of experience. lie has only
been in the ring game for about three
years and most of his battles have
been in California, where bouts are
limited to four rounds.
About two years ago Dempsey made
his first Eastern appearance when he
blew into New York and knocked out
Wild Burt Kenny and Andre Anderson
in quick succession. He outtought
John Lester johnson, big. clever
negro. in ten rounds, but could not
stop him.
Dempsey then went back to the
Coast and placed himself under the
management Of Jack Kearns. who i'm
mediately guided him toward the
| championship. His most notable re-
cent bouts have been with Gunboat
Smith. Carl Morris and Homer Smith.
Dempsey beat Morris and Smith on the
Coast. and later gave Morris such a
pummeling In the East that Carl re-
sorted to his favorite tactics and
fouled himself out OF the match In six
rounds.
Dempsey received his early train
Ing in a Northwest lumber camp,
| where his prowess as q good two
listed man won him respect from the
best lighting lumberjacks Of the coun-
try.
Dempsey is q native Of Seattle.
Wash, and was christened William.
When. however. he took TO pugilism
he changed his first name to Jack
for the reason that Jack Dempsey,
once middle-weight champion OF
| America, used that as his ring name.
The Nonpareil's real name was John
Kelly.
While his strength and hitting are
unquestionably OF the first quality
| surprising as II may seem. he is an
excellent boxer. He never had any
! tuition from clever spaTrers, and ap-
pears to have picked up the science
of the game through watching other
fighters.
Dempsey is q years Of age. stands
1876 pounds in fighting condition, which
wax Sullivan's weight when the Bos-
| tonian was in his prime.
A finer looking athlete than Demp-
sey never stripped for action. He is
splendidly proportioned. and his arm
and leg muscles are long and flexible.

HACKENSCHMIDT WILL
MAKE TURNER HUSTLE

Joe Turner may meet his waterloo
tomorrow night at the Lyceum The
Iter. when he tackles Young Hacken-
Tchmid in a finish match, best two
three falls, under Police Gazette
rules. for the entire purse and the
niddle-weight championship.
Hack is considered to be one Of the
.leanest wrestlers in the game and

De proud of. He came out OF the Ic-
.ent New York tournament with e.
slean slate, having won all h
matches in straight falls. This will
mark his initial appearance here and
ais first match with Joe Turner.

FILMS SHOWING
BAYONET DRILL
Kilbane, Leonard, Mccoy
and Corbett Pose for
Camp Instructions. q

Films showing the Relationship
between boxing and bayoneting,
and demonstrating the methods Of
using the bayonet have been pre-
pared by the Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities OF the War ana
Navy Departments and distributed
for exhibition IN the various ma
tional army and National Guard
cantonments and naval stations 20
facilitate the education Of the SOL
diers and sailors along these lines.
Johnnie Kilbane, Benny Leonard.
Kid Mccoy and James J. corbett
posed for the pictures illustrating
in detail the proper way OF start
ing and landing the different blows
and how to put the full force Of
the body behind them. Their coun-
ter parts in bayoneting are demon
strated by Capt. James Donovan, OF
the Canadian army. who was in
structor in bayonet lighting at
Shornecliff. England. Capt. Dono-
van spent % months in the trenches
and was wounded at Ypres.
"Bayoneting is boxing with a gun
in your hands" is one Of the e1-
pressive sub-titles OF the film
which afterwards shows Johnny
Kilbane starting q left hook for
the head OF Benny Leonard, and
Capt. Donovan using the same
movements in sending his bayonet
slashing for the neck of an armed
antagonist.
The similarity between other
blows in boxing and bayoneting is
also shown in the film. For in
stance, a soldier using a right hook
to the jaw duplicates the blow when
he swings the butt Of his gun on
the jaw OF foe. In addition, the
pictures make clear that a man
who has developed speed on his
feet through boxing has a decided
advantage over his opponent in a
duel with cold steel.
