GREEK DISHWASHER
WHIPPED DEMPSEY
One of the Happenings Of the
Days When Jack Never
Dreamed of Title.
FLOORED BY FARMER

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1e.-william
Harrison Dempsey, the new heavyweight
champion of the world. Is enjoying
almost as much publicity as President
Wilson received when he arrived in the
United States to tell US the low down"
on the League Of Nations.
Right now the Dempsey home in Salt
Lake City Is being photographed for the
animated weeklies. The farm where the
Dempsey family lived for several years
at Provo has been visited by a score Of
photographers
Ball players with the Salt Lake team
say Jack Dempsey Is the idol of Salt
Lake and Provo. Many stories are
told OF the ups and downs of the present
champion.
They tell us that Jack Dempsey. once
a big, awkward kid shining shoes in
one Of the Garden City barber shops,
began his career as a boxer in the opera
house of Provo scarcely a half dozen
years ago, when. in preliminary night
OF four rounds, he was whipped by
Greek dishwasher.
An autobiography OF William Har-
rison Dempsey would naturally lead off
with He came from poor but honest
parents"
The Lean Days.
Continuing with the history OF his
ring career. the gang from Salt Lake
says that Jack Dempsey. after his trim
ming at the hands of the dishwasher,
plugged along with some fifth rsters In
the four round game. always having his
hands full to save himself from knock
out.
There IL gent by the name OF
Billy Williams, one OF Proves most

heavyweights
II seems that Jack was employed on
| wi!l.ams's farm to beep the beets well
shined. Every time the farmers back
was turned William Harrison Dempsey
betook himself to the vineyard and par
took freely OF the forbidden fruit One
| day, SO the story runs, Williams lost his
temper. swung on Jack and sent the lad
| to the mat.
Barber Got ChilIs.
/ When Dempsey knocked Willard
down seven times in tho first round on
independence Day. William Boshnrd. a
| Salt Lake barber. had cold chills run
ming up and down his back, thinking of
the time what might have happened TO
| him when he kicked Dempsey out of a
barber shop. Dempsey worked as a
! bootblack in Boshatd's establishment.
! and among his duties was the daily
sweeping OF the floor.
Almost every morning some part of
this work was found neglected. One
morning. so the story runs. the barber
kicked Dempsey into the street Demp-
sey never retaliated.
Time and time again Jack Dempsey
was seen in bouts with the four-round-
ers Of Salt Lake and Provo. And now II
seems these lads are seeking managers
and trainers. confident that they still
can make things interesting for the new
champion.

TESTS FOR MEREDITH.
Ted Tells of His Two Most Cruel

It is interesting TO learn from Ted
Meredith that the two hardest races he
ever ran were very dissimilar. One was
the 500 meter in the Olympic games In
Stockholm in 1912. when he made a
worlds record. and the other was the
1914 A. A. u. 40 yard championship,
when he beat Tom Halpin and Val

He ran blind the last fifty yards in
the latter race. He was not in his best
condition then. These two races. Mere

Dempsey in Fen Rounds
Forces Decisive Result
Less Aggressive Boxers Would Disappoint Onlookers
in Short Bouts-Many Finish Matches Have Been
Fizzles-Other Gossip of the Ring
by CRoss COUNTER.

Previous to the battle of Maumee Bay
apprehension was felt by many that the
twelve round limit was too restricted for
a championship contes: and that the
spectators might not get fair return
for their money. 1t was feared that the
bout might last the limit without enough
action TO satisfy those who paid TO see
the encounter. For this reason many
insisted that the contest should have
been a twenty round one at the least
Fortunately Dempsey crowded more
fighting into the three rounds OF the
Toledo battle than has been seen In
many combats scheduled TO a finish, and
all OF those in the arena cheerfully con-
coded that they had seen more action
than they expected.
There is small doubt that twelve
rounds will be SUFFICIENT for any contest
IN which the present champion is en-
gagged. and any man who gets a match
with the new titleholder will be required
to fight fast and hard from the sound of
the gong for the opening round.
without question a twelve round con-
clever boxers would be disappointing
Such a bout would without the shadow
of a doubt last the limit. and the deci-
sion would be on points. 1t would be
the part OF wisdom for the promoter OF
such a match to insist on twenty rounds
which would obviate the necessity of
making a hair line decision at the close
OF a shorter bout.
II hard hitter were pitted against a
particularly clever boxer in a twelve
round bout the encounter would be apt
to last the limit

Corbett and the latter was so fearful
OF giving the dangerous black an open

The result was one OF the most tire

Chick EvanS Confident
He Will Retain Golf Title
National Amateur Champion, However, May Have to
Figure on Travers, Oumet and Kirkby,
Says John G.. Anderson.
BY JOHN @. ANDERSON.

Once again the pendulum OF time has
swung TO the point where It calls for
amateur championship golf predictions.
The lapse in title Journeys has whetted
the appetite for speculation. The prom
ise OF a field far superior to that In any
previous championship lends more golf
ing interest fully believe that you
will see at Pittsburg the grandest as
semblage Of golfing stars which ever has
appeared at an amateur championship,
and that the competition will be thrilling.
Hearken TO the following as reported to
me this past week:
IT don't care how many long puts

get down the two~and three footers they
can have all the long ones, because I will
be inside Of them on my second shots

Nothing as yet has been heard from
Francis Ouimet. except an eloquent SO
scored over the Winchester links a per-
Torrance which ranks with the finest of
his many wonderful rounds. In the
story of this remarkable exhibition there
was no mention made of all the puts
being holed. a rare feature indeed in
practice or friendly rounds. and we
hardly know how much to discount the
brilliance, but In any event the play
was of such a superb nature that there
can be no doubt of the meeting at some
stage OF the tourney in Pittsburg of
these three great golfers, former hold
ers of both the open and amateur cham
Intn Q1 n Of a
WARE the Putting Green!
The confidence which emanates from
the present title holder. Mr.. Charles
Evans. is due. we have no doubt, to the
greatness of his game as displsy ed in
all parts OF the country this year and
especially in the Red Cross matches
held recently in Canada. We do not
hesitate 10 say that he can only lose
the title this year by poor work on the
| uttiug green.
We understand that the green's at
PittsburE will he like those at Garden
| city and Detroit where a delicate
touch was required. AT Merton the
! greens were slow. painfully SO. and II
was possible to bang away at the ball
with undue force. The reason was due
to the fact that the fairway was well
burnt up. 1t was impossible 20 get a
growth OF grass which should be the
portion of a championship course.
To give the players n chanco to pitch
TO the green the sprinklers were kept
going on the greens night and day.
When the championship was played they
were as green as new sprung grass, but
slow.
Mr.. Evans is fine putter over slow
greens. and II by any chance the greens
at Oakmont are not as keen as we
have been told they will be Mr.. Evans
ought to be number one choice for the
title.

Unjust TO the Referee.

Jack Sheehan. one Of the best known
referees in New England and a well
posted man as TO pugillst!c rules and
history. recently recalled an incident in
which he was placed in a false position.
Sheehan was the third man in the ring
when Eddie Connolly and Spike Sullivan
fought twenty round bout at New
Haven In 1899. The contest lasted the
limit OF twenty rounds and the referee
called the bout a draw, although Con-
molly was reported to have had all the
better OF the engagement.
statement to the effect that Sheehan
had made the decision OF "dra W" because
OF the good reputation OF tho boxers,
was sent out from New Haven, with the
result that the referee was subjected
to much criticism.
Il can't imagine" said Sheehan IN
discussing the matter. "how such a re-
port originated. There was not the
slightest foundation for the yarn. TIE
facts are that the boxers had reached
an agreement that the decision was TO be
q draw in the event that both were or
their feet at the end OF the twentieth
round. Therefore had no option but TO
declare the contest a draw.
