The Dempsey-Carpen,ier fight at
Jersey City on July viii be a bat
tie between fighting freaks.
But these freaks are respectively
the ruggedcst and the cleverest in
the world. This will make it a bout
the like of which has nLver been
seen in a championship 20.
Itu be weight and strength
against brains and speed. with sci
ence in the discard.
The fight won't be as picturesque
as the heavy battles of the past. I
don't mean by that it won't be an in
packed with punchesi To me II Will
be Of more interest than any heavy
weight belt battle Of recent years
Always Set.
Every American heavy who has
COPIED the title since the days Of
John L. Sullivan has fought accord
in TO Hoyle." BY that mean that
his offensive tactics were those that
other boxers used.
Every variety Of wa1lop that the
heavyweight sent over was from a
certain position. TO get set for a
wallop he had 10 jockey himself in.o
position.
His opponent could guess 20 a
large degree. what was coming in
time 10 cover. Surprise didn't figure
very strongly. Rather it was neces-
sary 70 first weaken and break down
the opponents defense before the
kayo wallop could be slipped over.
Corbett. Bob FitzsimmOns and the
others who in turn won the heavy
weight title were all this type Cf
fighter, who stood In position and
swapped blow for blow.
Jack Different.
Then along came JecE Dempsey,
with ring tactics all his own.
Awkward and unscientifc. but
with a world Of power and stamina.
Dempsey was interested only in get
ting close enough 10 an opponent 20
land the haymaker that would chalk
up another kay.
Ring strateg, went by the BOARDS.
Dempsey paid no attention 70 prece-
dent. He started his punches from
any and all positions. shooting them
over in this way at times when his
opponent least expected them. He
packs a knockout Ia either fist and
shifts az will 10 meet an attack.
Style Dangerous.
Couple Dempsey's twO-handed
9ghting style with his opponents in
bility 10 dope his intentions and
you've got a mighty dangerous COM
5.nation. For a shift from left TO
right hand gives Dempsey a big ad-
vantage. Few OF the classy fight
ers can fight other than with their
left hand. A right-handed fighter

A Song
BY TOBY LaFORGE.

To my heart comes a sigh for the
days that are gone.
For the days of bright sun that go
slipping on.
For the hills and the sky and the
prairies and grass.
For the call OF the cricket and for
shadows that pass.
With the wind In my face and my
face to the rim
or the deep hazy valley that circles
me in,
And the lazy low chant ofNthe river
that calls
And lures me on to the roar of the
falls.
The flash OF an oar and the cedars
once more,
That courtesy down TO the edge of
the shore
The moon climbing low from the
peak of the hills,
The stars and the sounds Of the
night and the thrills.
To my heart comes the song Of the
days that are gone,
For the days Of real fun that go slip
ping along,
Sell my soul to the gods, fling the
breeze to the sail
For I'm off with my pack down
the dim, dusky trah
