Practice Keeps Perfection.

Practice makes perfect. But
that's only part of it.
1t requires more practice to keep
the perfected machine perfect.
Also after ones powers have
reached the peak more is expected
of him than the fellow who is just
a comer.
The same critics who a few years
ago pegged Jack Dempsey as a SUI
per-man and unbeatable. are now
jazzing a different melody.
They are calling the champion,
who delayed his Knockout of Bill
Brennan until the twelfth round. an
ordinary guy.
But too'much was expected of a
fighter who has not been working
at his trade regularly.
If he was Eel a super-man 1t
was after he had fiattened Willard.
His tiger instinct. developed so
highly while he was earning his
right to fight the champion. has
lain in state since then.
In any business where skill is in
vowed unless n keeps pegging
away at it the muscles fail TO CO.
ordinate with the nerve centers. the
eye loses its cunning. the heart gets
out of step-the punch lacks it's
steam.
But Dempsey is wise enough to
know all this.
Give me more work | will fight
any man in the world.'
Those are his words. After Will
ard he wants Wills. Carpenter is
already on his calling list.
None know better than the
champion that it takes practice to
keep perfect.
He isn't fiinching under the
barbs that are being stuck into the
super-man propaganda that has
beer lavishly poured out to him.
So give him credit. That's the
kind of a champion the world wants
and which it has in Dempsey.

Mickey Shannon took one on the
chin in a Jersey City ring the
other night and fell like a ton of
brick on the back Of his head. He
died from the injury.
Naturally there has been a lot of
comment about the tragic end of
this bout and foes of boxing find in
1t further proof of the peril in h
sport.
But in most instances, the death
of Shannon is accepted as an un-
fortunate break of the game and
no valid argument against properly
regulated boxing.
The occasional fatalities to boxers
in the ring don't hamper the sport
much. The strongest enemies of
boxing are not those who believe
II is brutal and condemn glove en-
counters.
The chief elements OF boxing are
right in the boxing camps-the
men who commercialize it and put
the funny little kinks and snarls
in it.
Poor matchmaking. bunk promot-
ing, g%reediness and double crossing
by promoters, managers and boxers
have hurt the game more than the
| attacks of the outsiders.

he would have survived. If the blow
had crumpled him up instead OF
knocking him fiat there would have
been no tragedy in the affair.
Boxers might veal leather head
gears to ave them from brain
conclusion and skull fractures. The
floor of the arena might be more
heavily padded.
Most boxers are of the type that
would disdain using such protection.
They're a hardy lot and are willing
to take the small chance of perma-
nent injury in the ring. Boxers
have their Shortcomings and their
faults but lack Of courage is not on
