if "the opponent lays the player a
stymie the player may remove the
opponents ball. the opponent shall
then be deemed to have holed in his
next stroke" If the player. playing
within the boundaries of the putting
green, lays himself a stymie the rule
does not apply.
This rule does not abolish all
stymies. but it practically abolishes
all that are not negotiable, except
where player leaves himself a
stymie.

to the effect that he is ready and will
ing to take on any challenger whenever
and wherever the public demands.
Why the literary experts should eX
pect ANYTHING other than the course he
is following from the man who an

of July 4, 1919. that he was going to be
a fighting champion and then per

said all along is DempSey's latest

This is just bunk, pure bunk. What
Dempsey will do is to take on any
set-up Jack kearns wants him to, and
at any time his astute manager tells
him to. Billy Miske, the erstwhile hos
pital patient, is the first on the list.
Who the second will be is prob
lematical, but it's good even-money
bet that instead of the tough ebony
giant. Wills. it will be Bill Brennan
or some other third-rater, under the
plea of fighting himself into condi-
ton after his long period of idleness.
Meanwhile the champion will continue
to rake in the shekels from a gullible
public as he is doing in New York
