THE LION AND THE TIGER;
BETTER GLAND SHOULD WIN

Many influences a6oct the func-
tiOnal activity of these remarkable

has bean exposed to such harmful
emotions or influences d far less
capable Of successful battle than
he would be II not 70 injured.
That u the reason Why Dempseys
manager stopped him from read
ing newspapers. and why Carpen-
tiers manager constantly suggests
victory in his quiet evening talks
with the cheerful Georges ON the
porch Of the farm house.
Dempsey Is : dangerous looking
machine in battle. His beard Is
usually unshaxed. his eyes seem to
squirt mp narrowly. his beetling
brows carry . heavy scowl. his
tseth are exposed in . snarl and
he fairly snorts 1t his opponent
The whole picture suggests the lion
in attack. But what does Carpen-
tier look like In battle! His eyes
do not seem to be closed under such
stress. They are big. wide open.
and they blaze and glare at the OPP
ponent, wary and watchful for
every opening or threat He dances
and darts about and makes sudden
unexpected leaps this way and that
way, until he finds the opening he
wants, and then--bang? he crashes
through to the mark with unbeliev-
able speed and force. OF the two
pictures, the tiger reused would be
the moro frightful to most Of MS.
Tho French lad seems to feel the
10y Of battle, whereas the American
seems to hate it II that be true
then the champion Of Europe will
enter the ring with great advan-
tage, although such remarks as the
two made would rather indicate
that Jack is fonder Of professional
boxing than Georges is. Decide for
yourself whether you place more
reliance on verbal or facial ex-
preston.
A great psychologist, James, used
to speak of reservoirs Of power
possessed by every person but sell
dom drawn ON for action, yet which
will pour fourth streams OF energy
if the demand presents itself. Ar
athlete who, as q boy, had beer
chased by a savage animal, leaped
over a wall which he was nevel
able to clear again until he hat
attained full maturity and growth
The reservoir of power" may b.
considered a psychologists way o
saying what the psychologist woult
call kinetic energy stored in thu
adrenal gland. In the heat Of
scrimmage Dempsey's expression |!
that of one who is drawing on thu
! reservoirs of power, using every
thing he has, keeping nothing il
reserve. Carpenters expression
in similar circumstances is that o
one who is confident and keep
something back for emergency use
The Ffenchman's manager. Dies
camps. has a theory that but few
men ever get 100 per cent out o
themselves, physically or mentally
but he is confident that George
will come close to the hundred pc
cent on July 2.
