 Those who wonder whats the mat ter with English heavyweights," may find the answer in the fact that they are fistic loafers.
 It's only by fighting that a man ke cps himself in great condition; it's only by numerous ring battles that he leg, ms helpful ring tricks. Long ab- sences from the padded arena, long pericds of idleness usually undo about all that nature has done to make a good ring warrior.
 Let's take Joe Beckett as sample
 powerful fellow, blessed with youth, possessed of great strength, he sizes up only a mediocre warrior &C., ccrding to American standards. If he fought like the American heavy weights fight he probably would be one of the truly greats. Instead, he is regarded merely as a joke.
 INACTION
 And the answer seems to be in the fact that in something like six years he has fought only about A times most of those meetings being against poor gladiators
 Four fights a year-that's Beckett's average-and most of them were aglnst men from whom he could learn nothing. As result, he has not de- veloped since he took up fighting as profession. He may be the greatest lighter in England, but that's because nature made him so. He'll never be the greatest fighter in the jworld-not even a good fighter, according to the worlds standards of boxing men-sim / ply because he hasn't worked to attain such rank
 JACK FOUGHT OFTEN
 When Dempsey was coming along. he fought as often as the chance af- forded. He mixed it nine times in about six months in 1917, after Jack Kearns turned him loose, and fought Is times in 1916--a total of 24 fights in about 20 months.
 Tt was fighting that kept me in shape, and fighting that taught me a lot I know about trickery," declares Dempsey q learned something in every fight"

They were up at daybraak, and

led from the edge Of the dump to the
mouth OF II tunnel in the hillside and
disappeared therein.
Webster stood a moment, looking
around him. How did you happen to
locate this ledger" he demanded.
"Was II grass root stuff, with an out
cropping here at the foot OF the hill2
No, OF course, 1t wasn't. You haven't
enough ore on the dump. What the
devil were you driving atT
"Only a small portion OF that dump
is mine, Jack, and didn't locate the
ground originally. l came into this
valley from the south, and as worked
up the range, | found a bald spot
close to the top Of the hill, and a gal

Naturally, ! went down the shaft to
see why II had been abandoned. TO

Of free-milling ore, on a contact be-
tween andeslte and Silurian limestone.
The ledge stood straight up and down,
which seemed to argue great depth"
Somebody had found an outcrop-
ping on top OF that HILL" Webster de-
clared with conviction, land sunk a
shaft on the vein to open 1t up and de-
termine it's width and direction. And
what did you do, BillT'
81 got my transit and ran a line
from the shaft on the hill, following
the direction in which the ledge was
running, and marked out the exact
point toward the base of the hill where
l would start my tunnel to cut the
ledge. To my surprise, l discovered
my predecessor had selected that
identical spot. So / verified my cal
culations and then sat down to think
II over. | remembered that frequent
and violent earthquakes occur In this
country, and II seemed to me a rea-
sonable hypothesis to blame some an
cient and particularly violent seismic
disturbance, which had faulted the
vein and set 1t over a considerable
distance. According to my calcula-
ton. that other man should have cut
the vein at SO feet-yet he had gone
on 1872 before quitting. SO | got half
a dozen poems and drove ahead 10

time my cash reserve was getting pref
ty low l picked up the true vein and

They entered the tunnel. to the Sig
nal dismay of dozens Of large bats.
When they reached the vein, Webster
broke of samples of the ore every
three or four feet. crawled after Billy
up through the stope and back to the
true vein, from the face Of which he
also took numerous samples; then he
crawled out into the sunshine again,
hot, dirty. and perspiring.
