TOYS WITH CHALLENGER
10y FRANK G. MENkE.)

Benton Harbor, Mich. Sept. THE
tumults and the shouting have died
but not the memory of Jack Demp-
say's easy triumph yesterday over
Billy Mlske, n man who had been
ranked as the champions most for
midable rival.
Mlske didn't give Dempsey a real
workout. Miske never had chance
from the bang OF the first gong. It
was Dempsey's fight from end to end,
and always the only question involved
was how long Miske could stand up
under the terrific punishment which
the Utah mnuler began TO deal out
with the outset of the second session.
And now. with Miske's name added
at last to the list of Dempsey's vic
Tins, what man can be conceded a
chance against the super fighter of
pugilism? What man fights today
who can test Dempsey to the utmost
OF his powers? What man can test
the courage of Dempsey by beating
him and smashing him? What man
can force him to lash out with all the
might that is in his hands and arms
power which so far has never been
fully tapped?
Has Never Hit Hardest.
For Dempsey truthfully says:
1--WE hit q lot of hard blows In my
career. but I've never hit any man
with all that smash that II is possible
for me to put into drive, and hope
l never will"
They've talked Carpenter. the great
French boxer. as a Dempsey foeman.
And so they are talking the French
man into being slaughtered For,
great as Carpenter may be, he can
not be classed with Dempsey. Those
who espouse the Parisian's cause in
sist that his superior boxing ability"
and greater agility" win enable him
to keep out OF Dempsey's way until
Dempsey has tired himself
What a fallacy; for, first OF ALL
Dempsey Is tireless; almost beyond
human concession In his endurance
powers. And as for speed, well, Demp-
sey made Miske, long regarded as one
OF the speediest boxers in the game,
look like wooden-legged circus fat
man. Throughout the entire fight of
Monday afternoon Dempsey whizzed and
Whitfield around Miske with the speed
OF panther-and whenever Miske
tried to spring away from attack
effort.
Would Murder Carpenter.
They tout Carpenter as a boxer-as
a greater boxer than Dempsey"
Those who do that haven't seen the
new Dempsey in action; haven't seen
what amazing boxing skill he can dis
play whenever the mood pleases him.
Carpenter may be a greater boxer than
Niske-but- II he ever mixes It with
Dempsey In a pure boxing match the
chances are that Dempsey will give him
a very elegant boxing lesson before he
drops into a state of coma.
They've talked Harry Wills, the ne

Dempsey the champion probably won't

with him. He'll probably Just step

on the canvas. Beyond Carpenter and
Wills there seems to be no battier who
can be reckoned seriously In n clash
with Dempsey. But few warriors

thought OF fat purse. are clamoring
for fight. And to these Jack Demp-
