DEMPSEY HARD TO HIT

OEMfSEf HARD TO HIT ~
 Dempsey's style of defense is good. remarkably good No better evidence or this can be presented than the fact mat out of the last 25 foemen that he mas tackled, not more than three or four ever have been able to send through any real blow. All of them felt at the outset that it would be cuita easy to drive through some su1ashers and, that Dempsey would be easy, tor hit because he apparently keeps his Jaw unprotected. But all of them haya learned the folly of this belief within few minutes after they have entered the ring.
 Jack Dillon, who worked out a few rounds with Dempsey in Toledo abouA two weeks prior to the battfa has this to say about the new champion:
 I watched Dempsey in action for a day or two before I took him en-" said Dillon. T studied his method of ese@ ing in at a fighter with arms well ex-. tended and with jaw exposed I realised that he was fast and that the uneyen shifting of his head might be a hard hurdle for me to take. I studied h3s movements carefully, and then climbed into the ring with him. .s@
 SHIFTY DEFENSE
 Dempsey invited me to hit him on fha jaw, if I could. thought it would beI Ho easy IHlnS. BuL l swung TOT nfS hoad z times in the first round, and I landed only three blows. Each was gfancing. Not one solid smash could I put through although Dempsey's head seemed to be aa easy target as 8 punching bag when I watched him from outside the rfng-
 Why couldn't you hit his head?" waA asked
 Because there is no way of figuring hia shift" replied Dillon He never moveA the same way twice. You may think you've got him all figured out You swing to point where you think his head ia going to shift. But you find that N has shifted elsewhere. I've fought mora than 200 men in my ring career, and lot of them were champions, or near- champions. In al lthat group I never found one that had defense so baf- fling as Dempsey's."
 Dillon paused for a moment And then he expressed my own sentiments when he said: After all is said and done, tho greatest defense is powerful and irrisistible at tack, and Dempsey has that I think his defense is one of the most baffling I've ever seen in the ring. But the point is that he really needs none if he can continue doing as he has for nearly two tears-drop giants with one or two opening punches"

In all of the lands, when tyranni.

relief and raised from the slough
of despond. no people appeal so strong.
ly to real Americans and no people

Americas se~lf-sacrificing generosity.
Recent history tells of other American
achievements along similar lines.
But what America has done and is
doing in the Holy Land is not so well

America, as a nation, has taken no
stand in Armenia as it has In the
other lands. But what the nation has
neglected the people as individuals
have done and are doing.
Armenia is the Oldest of the Chris.
tian lands. It is here where the
Savior was born, where He lived for
a great part of His life on earth,
where many of His miracles were per.
formed and where His teachings took
so firm a hold that countless ages of
persecution and torture at the hands
of the ~unspeakable Turk could not up
root the Christian spirit that He
brought into being. 1t is toward this
stricken country that the whole civil.
lized world looks with horror.
The world war gave the Turk the
opportunity to renew his outrages ON
the Armenians. He sought to destroy
the race-for the sole reason that the
Armenian chung to the religion Of
Christ.
Families were separated. The daugh.
tiers and wives we're carried on into
slavery-and worse. Thousands were
driven to the deserts under pretext Of
deportation and were there left to

SLEUTHS EXPECT
CONTRABAND BUT
FIND SEA WATER

It's pretty hard to slip, one over on
Sheriff Van Pelt, but occasionally it
is done and last evening was one of
the times. Somebody phoned the
during the late afternoon and told him
If he would go to Perdido wharf he
would find two men in a launch not
far from the shore fishing for a con-
tainer of liquor.
Sheriff Van Pelt with Deputy Shell
by and Officer Mcintyre of the city
police department Immediately beat it
for the wharf in an automobiles but
the fishers for liquor" saw them COM
ing and speeded down the bay in their
officers however, and they gave chase
on land. When the launch landed
they compelled the men to take them
back to their fishing grounds and
| there it was the sleuths discovered
the supposed liquor.
| Lying in about twenty feet of wa
| ter was a Cylindrical container and
F, after futile efforts to grapple 1t the
sheriff secured a long rope and had
one of the men dive and fasten the
rope about the object After much
effort it was raised to the surface but
to the chagrin OF the officers they
found it to be small water breaker
and empty save for plain sea water.
The sheriff is a good sport though
and the joke was so good that he
called The Journal and told the story.
The Pensacola journal., 1919-10-07

Macmillan, lis losing a wonderful op-
portunity when they let this wonder
full beach go undeyeloped. If they
had proposition of that kind near
any of the cities in the north some
one would have matters arranged
overnight to erect a hotel and It
wouldn't be long before the place
would become a leading resort. 1t is
a shame to waste such natural as
set"
Mr.. Macmillan said that Senator
Fletcher showed his faith in Pensa-
cola as a future power in the worlds
commerce when he succeeded by hard
fighting in getting the Bruce dry
docks for this city.
The Aberthaw Construction COM
pany built several plants in the north
and west during the war and are at
present constructing two cotton mills
in Massa chusetts in voIving the ey-
penditures of s2,0oo,000, and another
cotton mill in New Himpshire costing
81, ,500,0 900. In addition they are con-
| ducting the ways for the battleship
Massachusetts, at the Fore River ship
yards.
The Pensacola journal., 1919-10-07

of the proper advertising.
This city should be the cotton
port of Alabama and good part
Georgia, and the development of this
project should be encouraged. This is
natural coal port also, and great
deal of coal is shipped from here to
Cuba. cargoes of sugar could
easily be had if only a sugar terminal
was encouraged. Another railroad
with added competition would go a
long way towards making this port
one of the greatest on the gulf.
Il believe that the future of Pen
sacola depends entirely upon her abil-
ity to show the outside world her ad-
vantages and it will need the concen-
trated efforts of her shipping and
business interests generally to accom-
plish this"
Mr.. Macmillan visited Santa Rosa
island yesterday as the guest of N.
Mel. Sage. southern manager of the
Aberthaw Construction company. He
expressed his opinion of the bathing
beach at that place in the highest
terms and stated that without a doubt
it was as good as any in the country
and better than most of the resorts
he had visited. Somebody, said Mr..
