The first thing he is apt to do In Cd
hours when he is not working is to in
vite visitor to sit in at a game OF
pinochle, and the visitor always wins,
chiefly because Jack-who is fine
phyer-thinks it will make the caller
have a more enjoyable visit II his host
doesn't romp away with the game.
That's the sort of fellow Dempsey is
considerate. kindly, lovable.
This morning when he left the Gram
lite State at O'Clock for a mild jaunt
through Central Park there were twenty
or thirty kids waiting for him; the
champion greeted them all as though he
were a boy himself. AS a matter Of fact,
Dempsey has the heart of a boy. One

Champion Not Boastful.
In talking Of his fight tonight Demp-
sey was not boastful; in fact, he never
is boastful. The remark one hears him
mako most Is that Of course some day

for Brennan, he said:
Don't make any mistake about Bren-
nan. He's a tough boy and will put up
o hard fight 1 won't fool with him, but
wfn try to put him away as quick as
can"
Every one who has followed Dempsey's
career doesn't have to be told this.
Dempsey fights in a way to bring victory
quickly. His style doesn't admit Of
anything else. The general feeling is
that Brennan won't last many rounds
before Dempsey's pile-driving stomach
wallop followed by the smash on the
jaw. In fact, the feeling is SO general
that the way is wide open for one of
those surprises that occasionally shake

through hearsay; only those who went
to Toledo to see him fight Willard have

amounted to anything. When he was q
