LA CLARIVIDENCIA

En- estos 1ltimos amos la aten-
cion de los psicologos experimen

una serie de fenomenos extra
nos y al parecer sobrenaturales
que derivan del esplritu huma-
no, y que hasta esta epoca efan
menospreciados por la ciencia
Official, por considerarlos como
fraudes de algunos professional
les empfricos. Nos referimos a
una serie de hechos espiritistas,
a la adivinaci6n del pensamien-
to, a la clarividencia, a la gra-
fologia, etc. La ciencia Official,
no admite hoy mas que la SUI
gesti6n y la hypnosis, desde que
Bernheim y Charcot, con sus in
vestigaciones, las encumbraron
a procedimientos cientificos; pc
ro ultimamente Sc ha visto pre-
cisada a examinar los "hechos"
que numerosos hombres de cien-
cia, psic6logos, ffsicos y psiquia-
tras, escepticos "a priori" en- su
mayor parte, han comprobado
con sorpresa, despues de evitar
todas las posibles causas de error
suges ti6n, prestidigita-
ci0n, etc., Psicologos como Cla-
parede, Schottelius, Henning,
marble, Duchatel, James; fisicos
como Crookes y Flammarion; !;
psiquiatras como Morselli, ia
net, Dubois y Jung; fisi6logos
como Richet, y hombres de cien-
cia como Flournoy, Boirac,
Myers, Lodge y tantos otros, Sc
han interesado en- estOs estudios
experimentales con curiosidad
creciente, a fin de comprobarlos
y hallar luego su explicaci6n,
unos, por los mecanismos psico-
l6gicos ordinarios; otros, por
fuerzas psiquicas Y magneticas
que aun no conocemos bien, y,
por fin, los menos, por hip6tesis
espiritistas de ultratumba, pero
no concebidas en- ell sentido SIM

Dempsey Oyertrained

How about Dompscy's condition? Ht

been twenty seconds under way he lad

longer carried the cd sleep producing
power. Time and again he set himself
and let Willard have everything he
could shoot with right OF left to the
Jaw Yet, with willard as helpless as
he was. none OF hese had anything
like the power of his first left hook.
Il the first few punches that had
terrific steam had not paralyzed the ex-
champions motive power in the frst
round, Willard might have had q
oh nee. For Dempsey was firing rapid
~ from his OWL blows. losing his snap
and crushing c:fec and all this within
less than three rounds.
In fact he was far from being the
same Dempsey in the middle Of the sec.

ing and lettering and cropping, as help
less as a big punching bag, and yet
was unable 10 knock him of his feet.

Ever hear of another champion who

Why didn't he stand up like a man

Nelson and others had, he would have

Dempsey Planning
To Leave Ring for
Six-MOnth Period

TOLEDO, July 5.-Winning the
worlds championship had no effect on
Jack Dempsey to-day. He acted as if
he knew it was coming to him and he
exhibited not the slightest surprise.
He was out of bed at 6 o'clock, mo-
tored to his training camp for visit
with friends OF the Maumee Bay
Shore district and then returned to
his hotel quarters in Toledo.
Dempsey expects to remain here
until he leaves to accept some theatri-
cal work which probably will occupy
his attention for the next six months.
One offer of $4,000 a week for twelve
weeks was made him.
az am going to try and be a popular
champion" Jack said. 81 believe the
public wants a champion who will de-
fend his title frequently, and | intend
to be that kind of champion. be-
lieve, however, that | am entitled TO
take a rest and make some money out
of the title doing theatrical work.
want to lay off boxing for six or
eight months to do this. But l VIII
fight Just as soon as a man consid-
cred a contender is found"
Willard has definitely retired from
the ring. He will devote his entire at
tention 70 his oil interests. The de-
feated champion said to-day that ru.
mors that he was severely injured and
that he was taken to hospital were
gross exaggcrations. The only injury
he suffered was deep cut over the
eye and a badly cut mouth. He did not
lose any teeth. nor was his jaw tract
ured, as reported.

OF Battle Wins
For Challenger:
Lightweight Champion Ad-
vised Waiting at Outset,
Also Hit and Get Away
By, Crantland Rice

TOLEDO, July 6.-The backwssA
Of gossip from q big championship
frequently brings up points more In
teresting than the melee itself.
There were many who had expected
to see Dempsey tear into Willard st
the tap Of the gong, or rather the faint
tinkle Of tho bell. but there were sur.
prised to see Dempsey start waiting
game and take his time.
Part Of this at least was due TO id.
vice he received from Benny Leonard,
lightweight champion. Two days be-
fore the fight Dempsey asked Leon
ards advice about the best method Of
meeting the now deposed champion.
"Play a waiting game at the start.
advised Benny. Don't rush into
close quarters, but hit and get away.
Walk around him a bit and look him
over, stepping in now and then to
plant one. Maybe you'll be lucky
enough to crown him quickly. II you
are not, don't stay in too close in the
early rounds"
THAT advice sounds good TO me-" re-
marked Dempsey, "and l think I'll try
it,"
II Is exactly what he did.

The folr WINNER hit the wat.i al

hard sprint, as Gicbel swan leisurely
to the finishing line. Ross ended the
long swim rather tired.
Another gold medal was added to the
Giebel household collection when
Henry. a younger brother Of Leo, won
the li0-yard handicap swim from a
large field of competitors. Henry was
allotted the low handicap Of 9 seconds

Sutherland was second and John Cur
