FIGHTING ABILITY
AN UNBORN TALENT
Fighting Ability Is With You.
Like Red Hair

New York. May 2,~-"You don't
have to learn how TO fight. It's
natural talent. Its with you just like
pug nose or red hair"
This is Jack Dempseys definition Of
fighting ability. He believes II is an
Unborn talent, and he says the bird
who tries TO make a reputation in the
ring without il has about as much
chance as SNOWFALL or hot stove.
You've got to haze the lighting
heart says Jack, And If you don't
like 10 fight you can make bet with
yourself that you haven't got it.
Learning some Of the hne points
about fighting may be all right be
cause YOU have TO know a few things
10 keep within the rules. But when
you get into the ring with a stranger
II g up to you 10 make your own fight
srd you've got 10 do ii as you 60
along. Trying tc get The low down
on the other fellow in advance doesn't
DO you whole lot OF good for you
may go in there figuring on fighting
along certain lines and then change
II all after YOU get started. Take it
from me, fighting instinct is with YOU
when you are born"
Dempsey ought to know something
about it at that, for he has had his
ups and downs. Many young char
would have Quit the ring cold after
getting the Kind OF a reception
Dempsey got whom he broke m. ana
Dempsey almost concluded ar one
time that he was ffivver fs1,t tho old
fighting instinct kept squirting him on.
Otherwise he would be working in
Seattle shipyard today instead of trail
ing the Wizards and Fuitons of the
heavyweight division.
When Jim Flynn gave Dempsey q
glimpse Of the solar system with n
hard. right swing 10 the Jaw about
a year ago, Dem psey was creStfalicn
Young man. But he realized that he
wasn't in condition when he met
Flynn and that he had taken a bout
with enc OF the toughest old-timers
.netne bushes on short notice SO he
didn't exactly give up hope.
What he has accomplished since ne
came back to the ring is well known
to fight fans ALL over the country. and
even though he meets with some set
backs in fights to come he will bounce
back at the beet available men In his
division, Dempsey figures that YOU
can't keep a lighting man down

together another machine that so far

rivals.
The two Chicago clubs have been

As time goes on baseball fans will
come TO realize what a wonderful
pilot of baseball team Barrow Is.
For more than twenty years he has
been identified with organized base
ball. IT was Barrow who disccv-
cred the immortal Hans Wagner AND
who developed hundreds of young
sters and sent them into the major
leagues, where they made good. Ar
ierward Barrow graduated TO the job
as president of the international
league and soon became recognized
rs one of the greatest executives that
the baseball league ever knew.
Barrow is an ideal type OF an
American. cool and calm in moments
OF greatest crisis. lie is filled TO the

many things before they needed RI

how to live together, how to keep

Pershing in Accord.
Discussing the machine gun situa-
ton, Baker declared that criticism of
the department over the Lewis gun
has been baseless,
FIe said General Pershing did not
desire the Lewis gun for ground work.
Every effort is being made to get the
manufacturers Of the Lewis gun to
speed up production for aircraft work,
Baker said. !,

wastage would not nearly equal the
production.
Therefore, France agreed on July

meter howitzers. Tie French realized
the Importance of having Americas
troops at the front as soon as posi-
ble."
Senator Reed interrupted:
eff get you, the war departments
view was that France had built big
ger factories than she needed and
that you thought it better to use her
facilities that were already in guam

got going ,ourselves?"
