Delishtful Flavor

An inexperienced golfer appeared
on a suburban golf course and soon
showed his proves in scattering
turf.
His partner, complacent person,
stood it for long time in silence.
Presently the beginner made mag
nifcent drive, his ball flew over the
horizon, and several pecks of soil
were driven into his partners mouth.

"Finct" agreed his polite partner,
as he wiped the soil from his lips.

BLEwErr FALLS FERRY.
-Four Reasons Why Counties Should
Own and Run Ferry

d
Second reason: That the Ferry
Co., does not do anything to improve
the highway to ferry. The only
thing they have done is to put g
dangerous obstacle on the Arson
county side in the middle of the
public highway at the top of the in
cline fifty feet to ferry. This only
allows a two-foot margin entering
steep incline TO ferry, which is very
dangerous to traffic. The only thing
this obstacle, with coffin-sEape box
at one side of highway, does is TO
endanger the public and protect the
profits of the Ferry Company.
The law does not permit danger
ouc obstacles ON the public highway.
The commissioners of highway
should see that this obstacle is re-
moved. The writer knows what he
is talking about, as he passes this
tombstone obstacle from 40 to so
times a month.

Hanlon Sets Fast
Pace for Jackson.
But Loses Decision
Bronx Boy Floors Denver
Boxer Twice i'm the Tenth
With Rights to the Jaw

Willie jackson, the Bronx light
weight, and one Of the cleverest men
in his division, met tartar last night
at the Pioneer Sporting Club in Jimmy
Hanlon, of Denver. Hanlon took every
thing Jackson had to offer and was
fighting toe to toe with the New Yorker
when the gong ended the twelfth
round. Willie was given the judges
decision.
Hanlon is stocky, awkward boy
with stiff punch in either hand, that
made Jackson cautious. The boys went
at each other like wildcats with the
tap of the first gong and for every
session thereafter had the big crowd
on its feet roaring loudly. 1t was the
best fight by far that the Pioneer has
staged
But for the steam behind Jackson's
right hand there might be a different
story to tell. But in the tenth round,
when it appeared the Denverite had a
good chance TO hold his more famous
opponent even, Jackson landed flush on
Hanlon's jaw. with straight right that
sent Jimmy down for II count of eight,
AS the Westerner staggered to his feet
time Hanlon heard nine tolled. AS he
got to his feet the bell sounded.
The Denver boxer rallied quickly and
held Willie even in the eleventh. In
the final round, Jackson used every
thing in his repertoire and had no
difficulty reaching Jimmy with it, but
Hanlon took it all and was trying his
best to reach the Bronx fighter with
wild swings when the scrap ended.
jackson had the best of five rounds,
one was Hanlon's by mile and the
others were even.
Babe" Hermann, the San Francisco
lightweight, who came up from the
Dempsey training camp especially for
the battle, defeated Jimmy Powers, OF
Hoboken, in close fight. Hermann
had all the best Of the first five rounds.
but in the sixth Powers upset Babe"
with hard left, and for four rounds
the Pacific Coast boy fought in a daze.
R@mann regained his fighting legs in
the eighth and closed fast. The Judges
disagreed, and the referee selected
Babe" as the winner.
Johnny Darcy (134&) knocked out
Dave Medar (140) after two minutes
and ten seconds of the second round.
Medar was draped over the ropes in a
helpless condition when the referee
called Darcy off Augie Rather beat
Jim Montgomery to a pulp in eight
rounds. Montgomery was warned half
dozen times about holding, and when
he continued to stall the third man in
the ring stopped the milling Mont
gomery was badly wounded All the
bouts were scheduled for twelve rounds.

Gives
His Left Hand
Much Exercise
Right Punch ConspicuousIy
Absent as Jack Perfects
New Blows for Carpenter
BY c. r. Fitzgerald

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 27.-
Jack Dempsey's use of his left hand
almost to the exclusion of his right,
in his daily sparrng exhibitions in the
open air arena at Airport has all the
prgilistic wiseacres here talking of lit
tie else.
The champion took on two boxers
for two rounds apiece this afternoon
and played continuous tattoo on his
opponents with his left. Only at in
fighting, when both hands were flying,
did he utilize that celebrated right
punch.
True it was left to the chin that
started Billy Miske to the floor at
Benton Harbor last Labor Day, but on
that occasion Jack crossed the blow
with right that really was the fin
lshlng touch. The end came in the
third round, but Billy was as good
as counted out in the second.
Right Punch Finished Miske
The blow that sent Miske to the cam
vas the first time was right t-hand
punch Of terrific power that slanted
downward, with knuckles forward, and
it lifted Billy at least foot off the
floor before he dropped like log. He
was lying prone at the count of eight
when the gong sounded.
After the successful manipulation of
his right at Benton Harbor, the un-
initiated are somewhat surprised at
Dempsey's tactics in preparation for
Carpenter, and when Jack was asked
for an explanation to-day he onlv
smiled and said he might need every
thing he had in stock on July 2.
The prettiest left-hander Jack has
displayed is an uppercpt directed in
the general direction of an opponents
head. Just before it lands the cham
pion seems to give his wrist little
extra twist, presumably to accord his
deadly steel-ribbed knuckles full play.
of course, Jack was armed only with
pillows" on his hands to-day, but Jack
Renault and Leo Houck, who shared
Dempsey's time in the squared circle,
found them anything but soft or
downy. Dempsey acted on the advice
Of kearns and did not attempt to travel
anything like so fast as he went on the
day before.
Blind Boxer at Ringside
Captain Bob Roper, the Chicago
heavyweight, who probably will remain
at the Airport as q sparring partner.
brought "Blind Jimmy" Quinn out to
the show today. Roper explained
every move that went on in the ring to
Blind Jimmy" who lost his sight
through an infection caused by an in
jury received in the ring. Quinn was
once widely known Philadelphia
featherweight, and he is pulling for an
American victory at Thirty Acres,
burlesque attraction was added to
the regular program to-day when Bull
Montana, wrestler and motion picture
villain, was taken on for a mat exhib-
ton.
Martin Burke, the New Orleans
heavyweight, who arrived yesterday to
be a regular" at the camp, left to-
night for New York to purchase har-
ness. He had seen Dempsey at work
for two days and said, as he left for
the big town, he would purchase
headgear with sufficient padding to alb
sorb mules kick. He is expected
back Monday, but Martin is known to
possess a changeable disposition.

Harry Wills, whose greatest desire is

work of Kid Arthur johnson in the
