Bonesetter Is
Regular Member
At Jacks Camp
Bernard Dempsey Is DR.. Han
ley's First Patient; Makes
Thorough Examination
OF Champ Every Day.

In the training camp of a worlds
champion pugilist (and we have in
mind in this instance the camp OF
| Jack Dempsey at Atlantic City,
there is a big corps of attendants.
Every man who is a memberis there
for a purpose, from the manager
down to the rubber, and even the
boy who travels with messages from
one place to another. The presence
of a physician in a camp, however,
never has been deemed necessary,
but at Airport, where Dempsey does
his training, there is one man who
is new to training camp. That man
is a bonesetter.
Shortly after Dempsey pitched his
camp in Atlantic City there appeared
a young man by the name of Philip
Hanley, who halls from Chicago.
Hanley is the bonesetter, and he is
a regular one, too, for he carries
along with him certain parts of the
human carcass which come in handy
in the business Of demonstration.
1t wasn't long after his arrival
that Dempsey and his manager saw
that the bonesetter would be more
than a welcome member at Airport.
and quickly made him member OF
the camp.
Jacks Brother First Patient.
Bernard Dempsey, brother Of Jack,
appeared in the camp with hip
which caused him to limp because OF
twisted muscles. Walking was
painful. Then he saw Doc Hanley,
and in two days time Bernard was
doing the boardwalk of Atlantic City
minus the limp and minus the pain.
The bonesetter, by bit of manipu--
lation which required 10 minutes, had
the brother Of the worlds champion
fit and O. K.
As for the champion, here's the
occupation of the bonesetter as it
concerns Jack: Every day when
Dempsey's training is finished DR..
Hanley gives the champ thorough
examination to see that there have
been no dislocations of bones or
muscles. This could easily happen,
but the prying eyes and hands of the
bonesetter prevent them from es-
Gaping unnoticed.
DR.. Hanley isn't called that at Air.
port. They just cal him Phil, and
he i. one of the regular fellows: They
called him by his first name lO min
utes after he became a member of
the training corps. -aa44.
Analyses a Knockout. *@.
The causes and effects of knock
out are interesting as disclosed by
the bonesetter. Here's what he told
US today concerning knockout
from a chin punch: -.
There are 26 bones in the spinal
column, seven cervical, IL dorsal and
five lumbar, sacrum and coccyx. The
first bone of the spinal column in
the neck is the atlas, upon which the
skull rests. Inside the spinal col
umn is the spinal cord, which is a
bundle of nerves. These nerves, as
they go through the spinal column,
branch off to the different parts OF
the body.
"On the back of the spinal column
tncfe are HVc layers VI HuoSiS oiio
on the front one layer"
Top Bone Is Moved.
With that much learned concern
ing anatomy, we asked Hanley to
explain something about how the
knockout affects the brain, and he
said: /
"When a hard punch is landed on
the point of the chin it knocks the
atlas bone out of place, thereby
pinching the nerves and arteries run
ming into the brain. If the atlas
bone is dislocated even a quarter of
an inch, the blood and nerve supply
to the brain is cut off. The result
is a coma which is productive of
temporary paralysis. The head be-
comes filed with blood.
"The methods of producing nor
NAL conditions, which means the re-
placing of the atlas bone, introduce
system shocking. That is one reason
