FOR 2|lROUND co
New Orleans, March II, to Be
Scene of Fight With
English Champion.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

In signing articles to meet Joe Beck

England, in a twenty-round bout at
New Orleans March II Jack Demp-
sey has taken a long step toward at
tanning the pinnacle in the esteem of
ring followers: toward proving he is
the embodiment of a species of pugi-
list recently considered extinct-a
fighting champion. The annals of the
squared circle reveal few instances of
where a newly crowned battler has
consented to defend his laurels with

ring next spring to face 8eckett.
Dempsey deserves credit for the
Willingness he has displayed to fore
go the theater, movies. circus and
other well-known mediums for capi-
talizing the title, despite the fact
that the SIPS 600 offered him by Pro-
moter Dominick Tortorich exceeds by
S25,0OO the sum guaranteed Willard
by Tex Rickard last summer, which
constituted the high-water mark in
purses. The reason is that in agree
ing to take on Beckett. Dempsey ac-
.cepted the first challange Of bona
hde nature that has been hurled at
him since he attained the heights, the
Englishman being the only battler in
the poor lot of white heavyweights
conceded to have chance with him.

Watch the Pitcher.

"Once he releases the ball never take
your eye off it. If you do you are
gone. Watch it all the way. Watch it
as it breaks and watch it as you start
your swing. The batter who watches
the ball only part of the way in it's
flight to the plate seldom becomes a
good hitter, for if the pitcher is
throwing a curve it seldom breaks
until it is within a few feet of the
plate. 1t is almost impossible to tell
whether a thrown ball is going to

occurs. For this reason 1t is neces-
