Instinct prompts him to do things per-

IL
This is by way of foreword.
Between us, William Harrison Demp-
ssy-and l are going to tell you the story
q Jack Dempsey, pugllist; William
Harrison Dempsey and Jack Dempsey
being one and the same person.
" Is, l think, in many ways an I'M
usual story, because 1t Is the story OF
an unusual career.
1t is the narrative Of a heavy-handed
young American who started out as a
hobo, and was in fact a hobo up to q
couple of years ago, but who has lit
orally punched his way to sporting
fame, and to potential fortune.
1t Is no moral treatise. It carries
no preachments, by which stories Of
pugilists-prize fighters-are generally
tempered, not to say disguised, 1t i
no attempt to glorlfy the subject, or hi:
occupation. It Is a tale Of rough ant
tumble adventure and OF much fis'
fighting. II is the tale Of a sudder
transition from tramp to celebrity, sucf
as csn happen only in American life.

Red Is Satisfied.

Red Smith, whose first names ars
Willard Jehu, says he is glad to be in
Memphis as a member Of the Tribe,
that he has always been strong for
the Bluff City and that he is confident
of a good year as a Tribesman. Red
looks already. fit and says he has been
working all winter by way of keeping
in shape and that it will require but a
few days before he is ready to prize
off the lid of the 1919 season behind
the bat. Zeke," which is another nick
name Of the new Chick catcher, got
here just in time to don the chest
protector and mask against the Chi
a & White Sox and will probably split
the work today with Frank Delaney,
who has been doing all the work be-
hind the bat in the absence OF any
more backstops.
When 'Zeke" was bought, by the
Memphis Chicks and received q con-
tract, he wasn't satisfied with it, ac-
oording to reports, but this trouble
has all been Strengthened out, Red has
been satisfied from a financial point
of view and is ready to don the chest
protector and mask and fight hard for
every game this year. Smith is with
out a doubt, one Of the best catchers
the Southern league has ever had, and
especially does he shine when it comes
to welding the stick. Red takes a
good cut at every pitch, and never goes
after any bad balls, always waiting
for his preferred offering before he
swings.
While Red was with the Nashville
Vols in the 1915 season, he served as
understudy to Gabby Street, and Red
had a lot of opportunities to serve as
a pinch hitter.l Red made quite a
pinch-walloper and delivered a number
