morning workouts. with no one
around save such members OF the
camp as are not out on the road.
he Is a different man.
Time and again since he started
training. Dempsey has remained In
camp when he was supposed TO be
on the road. Max Kapian has sub
s,ituted for him on the hikes and
Dempsey with Jimmy De Forest
has spent the time practicing
punches on the ts-pound bag. or
doing some shadow boxing that
was far different from the public
exhibitions
/ In these private workouts Demp-
sey does his backing up act. but at
times he leaps forward like a ca,a-
mount. whaling away with both
hands. At such times he doesn't
appear 10 be a backing warrior.
