WILLIAM HARRISON DEMPSEY IS
CHAMPS CHRISTIAN COGNOMENS

New York June z5-w1lliam Harri-
son Dempsey the name by which the
worlds heavyweight champion was
cfristened, was born rs years ago in
Manassa- Colorado. The prefix Jack"
was assumed by the big fellow when
he had grown to mans estate, and
had chosen the fistic ring for liveli-
hood. As fighter he had the idea
ard a good one. that by assuming the
Christian name of Jack" some of the
slamor II not the wonderful boxing
science which the original Jack
Dempsey. Brookiyns famous Non
pariel," possessed as the middleweight
title holder might revert to him.
The champion Is the sixth child of
family of eight. Three of his broth
ers and three sisters are alive but the
Youngest of the eight. who was named
Bruce. died about two years ago.
When Dempsey was seven years old
his parents, Hiram and Celia Dempsey
with all their children moved from
MAnassa to Montrose, Colorado. where
they lived for nine years. Then the
Dempsey household was shifted to
Salt Lake City, Utah, and that is the
place which they. including the cham
pion. claim as their home.
Born of rugged parents Dempsey
claims that he has Irish, Scotch and
Indian blood in his veins and insists
that the fighting qualities for which
MI Cnfee OF tneSe races are ldulouS
have been bred in the bone and blood
and have come to him in generous
portions from his antecedents.
Most of Dempsey's carly life was
spent in the open on a farm but later
ms Mternated by working in the
mines except in harvest time when he
found it more remunerative to devote
his strength to reaping wheat and
other crops In the grain belt. In this
way Dempsey kept himself in fine
physical condition, the hard labor de-
veloping the wonderful muscles which
proved to be such useful factor in
his winning the worlds heavyweight
title
Unlike his challenger, Carpenter.
Dempsey had very little early training
for career in the fighting arena,
while the French champion was a

test netted tho now champion $25. His

ooh, JOY! BICYCLES FOR THE GIRL AND Boy
Bicycle Free To Every Boy And Girl Man.
The Heralds onderfu Friday July 18TH

Come on, Billy, let's go swimming"
Cant" said Billy, dejectedly, as
he sat on the porch steps and watched
the boys of the neighborhood spin by
on their wheels.
Billy Banning often envied his
chums, most of whom had bicycles,
for there was hardly a day when they
did not have lot of fun riding to
some favorite spot. OF course, Billy,
not having a bicycle, was out of all
these excursions, left without play
mates, a lonesome boy indeed.
All of us at some time or another
have known a Billie, Willie, Johnnie,
Mary, Lucy or Susan who had the
yearning to be the proud owner of a
bicycle. But no longer need this
yearning be in the heart of any boy
or girl in the city of New Orleans or
the Parish of Jefferson, for THE
HERALD tomorrow inaugurates a
contest that will enable every boy and
girl to attain their young life's de-
sire-to be the possessor of a bicycle.
Besides the health-building advant-
ages, the bicycle presents endless
pleasures which mean so much in the
life of the boy and girl They will
gain in spirit and in bodily health If
they have the benefits of a bicycle. 1t
opens up the country to them-keeps
them out in the open. Bicycling is
the healthiest sort of sport, aside from
being a convenient method of trans
portation, and it enables the boy to
earn money that comes from running
errands, etc. Bicycle exercise is mild
yet stimulating to every muscle.
CONTEST OPEN TO ALL.
THE HERALD contest will be open
to every boy and girl, man and wo-
man in New Orleans and Jefferson
Parish. All contest rules and sub
scription blanks are now ready for
distribution, and may be secured at

pennant of the 1921 Bankers League,

when in what was termed the cham

1t was a banner day in the Canal
Commercials. their play was far supe-
rior to the Hibernias, for they outhit
the losers two to one. Henry White
faltered before the sweep of the Canal
artillery and they found him for ten
safe counts. Both sides fielded
splendidly.
The largest crowd that ever attended
a Bankers League game was on hand.

the hill hOnors Of the league, proved
that he is one Of the best pitchers ever
used in Bankers league.
He outpitched White, and outside of
the first inning, the Hibernia players
did not hit him safely until the eighth
inning. Up to the eighth Frank was
the only man to hit. Then in the ninth
Smith gave UP two safeties. In all
four hits were the total of the damage
to his delivery.
White has once defeated the Canal
Commercials, but the Canals evened
up the score and claim to have had
all the revenge they wanted. Money
fell to the way Of the Canal players
when Barrousse was handed a $40 bill
for scoring the first run of the game.
Then Zahn, who hit for two bases, the
blow that brought Barrousse around,
came In for a collection among the
Canal rooters that netted him 20 cents
more than Barrousse Striking out

both, the flag belongs to them, but a
defeat means that they must battle
