You hear some of the experts say that Georges is faster on his rect than Jack. That's all true enough. But have these same wise boys stopped to figure out that there will be several times curing the fight that Georges won't be on his feet? As mat ter of fact l look for him to be off'n his feet more than he is on them. He will be both off his feet and off his feed. And if a guy is faster on his feet than his adverse, what advantage is he going to have if he's taking set ting-down exercises all through the squabble?
 By having such swift dogs these same birds say that Georges will outrun Jack for the nrst few rounds. This Is another assertion that sounds ridiculous on the mug of it. As is known by all followers of the fight game ever since Marquis & Queensberry built the first arena, a prize fight ring is "A foot square. If they meet in the mid ale of the ring and say howdy, and Georges starts to running with the tap of the gong he can't possibly run over 12 foot before he's again the ropes, and Demp- sey will overtake and overcome him, and Georges won't know much of anything until the fists and rists have rolled away. Even then hc will probably have to take flock of aspirin tablets to sooth his poor head.
 I am allowing Georges every possible loophole, and as you know, they Is few loopholes when a feller is got you in a 24-foot square ring, and there aint no chance to hop out and sue for peace. Take, for instance, If Georges is fast as two doIlar-a- yard shirting on his feet, and be- lieves he can run around Demp- sey like ruffle on skirt. May be he could do that very thing, but the chances are that every time Georges would lap Jack in affair of this kind, Jack would lam him, and they is vast gobs more glory in lamming a man than tapping him, even If Ralf D. Palmer did get a thousand ber- ries every time he lapped a man in the recent Internal Sweet Stakes at Indianapolis. Georges would make far bigger hit with the fans if he would stand up and fight like man and get knocked down like one. Running would only serve to prolong the agony. If Georges had any running to do he should have did it before he was so foolish as to agree to meet Dempsey. The proper course would of been for him to run like Charles Dickens before they got his signature and hid himself in holler tree, and not to come out, even after they had applied smoke to the tree. It's pretty painful to inhale smoke, but feller don't know nothing about pain until he has took one of Jack fast ones on the jaw. And then he don't know nothing about nothing for several hours.
 Don't make no mistake. I aia't got nothing again Georges. He Is nice boy, and is full of good manners and mannerisms. The trouble is that Deschamps, in telling Georges how good he was didn't Keep nothing from him. As a matter of fact. when Georges fIoored the old Oaken Beckett, and made Joseph swaller so

R. H. BAUGH LOSES
 MATCH l N DIXIE TITLE GOLF MEET
Birmingham's Sole Repre- sentative Eliminated From
 Nashville Meet
By Associated Press

Nashville. Tenn, June 22.-Atlanta, Chattanooga and Nashville each had two players left in the southern Amateur Golf championship at the close of the first round of match playing in the nineteenth annual tournament here today Louisville and Memphis had one each.
 The winners of the preliminary round and the first round match play today with their pairings for to- morrow follow
 Perry Adair. Druid Hills club, At isnta. and Mike Thomas. Belle Meade. and Country, and Frank Godchaux, Belle Meade Nashville,
 H. R. wenzeler Colonial, Memphis, and Lewis Tachau, Audubon. Louis vile.
 Pollak Boyd, Chattanooga Golf and Country, and Tom Prescott. Druid Hills, Atlanta.
 Thirty-six-hoIe Matches
 Beginning tomorrow. the cham pionship matches will be thirty-six holes each. IS in the morning and IS in the afternoon. The winners of the first two matches tomorrow meet Friday, while the winners of the sec ond two are playing. The victors in Fridays contests going into the finals Saturday.
 The play today brought cut some of the finest golf ever shown on the Belle Meade course and resulted in numbers of close matches, two of them going to the nineteenth hole. The hard baked greens gave the ball roll that carried far and it was this condition of the course that was said to have been partially responsible for the unusually low qualifying scores yesterday and for the cards made today.
 The matches that required an ex- tra hole were those in which Dan Jarvis. Nashville. bested c. H. Black, Jr., Atlanta, in the preliminary round this morning, and in which watkins disposed of J, A. Kennedy. Tulsa Okla, but the largest gallery of the day went out to watch Godchaux, Nashville.

much canvas that he developed sad case of lint of the lungs. Deschamps told Carp that he had beat one of the best men in the world This was mislaylng the truth. Joe Beckett has been beat so much that tn House of Com mons is thinking of holding a special session to change Beck ett's name to Administer or Brussels or something. Both Joe Beckett and Bomby Wells, what has met Carp. has to wear hob nailed shoes all the time to keep from falling down on the street. You know what I mean. Fellers like Joe and Bomby get in the habit so much that the only pos sible way they can keep they balance is at the bank. If Joe and Bomby lis looked up on as war riors, every man what was in the Portuguese aymy should be deco rated for bravery and melted for valiant service during the recent crusade against the Kaiser.
 Jack, on the other hand. has knocked more good men cuckoo than WInet NtulItCIl dHQ rOiiS hnNs Jack is as hard as citizen of Flint. Mich. Some claim that Jacks brain cells is running on a dry battery, but don't let that fool you none. Anybody what could knock Jess Willard down as many times as Jack done in To- ledo and not die of the shock has pretty good head on his shoul- ders and a fair, capacity for us- ing 1t. Then, too, Dempsey ad- mits that he was a tramp for number of years. Any guy what can be hobo, and build his physical body up the way Jack done must get three square meals a day. And when a hobo can film fam the gentle public out of three squares a day he's got to have sense in his head to do 1t. Jack may not have took no med als for his exams in gram mar while at school, but he got his lessons from the schools of hard knocks. And having got so many hard knocks so early in life, he is now almost immune from punishment.
 About the only chance carp has Is to lay in wait for Jack as he comes from the dressing room, and Diff him over the dome with a Louisville slugger. At that, he would not be safe unless he had his passports all fixed up and caught a steamer bound for Paris before Jack come to.
 
 P. T. Barnum once said they was sucker born every minute. Later Theodore Roosevelt come along and said something about race suicide. But they ain't been no race suicide among the sucker citizenry. Not so you could mo- tlce it. In fact. I believe the s,a- tistics will show that sucker breeding has been more prolific than at any time in the worlds history. The sucker birth rate has increased wonderfully since P. T. come forth with his little statement. Some of the fokcs what pays five washers for a seat will be so far Away from the ring that they won't be able to throw eggs at the performers if the act is rotten. The dear pub lie will pay something in access of million dollars to see the scrap, and that's lot of money. However. I hope they give pass out checks, for this here Des- champs will surely want to pass out, and probably will. when Dempsey crowns Carpenter dub of all.
