He's a Coast Product.

johnson is a product of the
III same four-round game in
" San Francisco and Oakland
that gave Dempsey his first real
start toward the heavyweight
championship.
In the days when Dempsey was
on the coast, Johnson was a young
boy hanging around the street cor
ners. He saw Dempsey box in the
four-rounders, but he has never
seen him since Dempsey became
champion, and the finished master
of his profession.
Once in a Chicago gymnasium,
when he was still comparatively
unknown, Dempsey himself gazed
on a champion with perhaps much
the same feelings as Johnson look
ed at Dempsey. The champion was
Jess Willard, who was later to be
beaten by Dempsey. He was in
troduced to Willard that day, and
Jess gave him a curt greeting that
Jack never quite forgot or forgave.
Cook introduced Johnson to
Dempsey, and the champion looked
the younger man over with an
appraising eye.
"You're a strong looking fell
low," he remarked, "and syou IRE
certainly big enough. You've got
a good manager in Charley here.
and let me give you a piece Of
advice. Stick to him. A good
manager looks out for your inter
ests, and you look out for his.
Stick to him. That's all.

dark man as Dempsey shot over a
short right to Thompson's jaw
that staggered the black man.
And that" as Dempsey chunked
a left to the body.
The big youngster nodded, and
stared open-eyed and open-mouthed
at the champ. 1t was a new pupil
in the heavyweight school gazing
for the first time at the master,
while his tutor pointed out the
fine points of the great mans
work. 1t was Floyd Johnson, Of
Iowa, looking at Jack Dempsey,
with Charley Cook, his manager,
beside him.
We were somehow reminded of
a little group we once saw before
the painting Of a most celebrated
artist hanging in the Metropolitan
Museum. A young man was gaz-
ing, breathless, at the picture, and
beside him stood an older man,
perhaps his teacher, pointing at the
picture, and talking.

path, Kenneth r. Curtis and Alan
Woodring are among the jewels in
the Keane coaching crown. Keane
In building up his Orange track and
field teams, follows the Connie
Mack system of taking unknown
youngsters and developing them into
stars. Mack cares little for ready
made talent plucked from + the
minors; Keane, likewise, does his
best work with raw material rather
than with track athletes recruited
from prep schools.
Mack is the man who made Eddie
Collins and Amos Strunk, Of the
Chicago White Sox; Wally Schang,
Bob Shawkey. Joe Bush, Whitley Witt
and Joe Dugan, Of the New York
club, and Stuffy McInnis. Steve
O'Neill and Stanley Coveleskie, Of
the Cleveland club. just to nominate
few of his proteges Of other
years.
Similarly, Orange sport followers
can look back a few years and re-
call a long series Of keane-made

the dominating factor In field

honors for Syracuse in the hammer

Horr easily hurled the hammer

45 feet 5h inches, and threw the
discus for 1873 feet IN inches. Horr.

A Striking Picture.

CIDE by side. the two young
- Westerners - Dempsey and
~ Johnson-presented n strik-
ing picture. Both are Irish de-
scent, but Dempsey is very dark
and johnson is very fair.
Dempsey was born in Colorado,
johnson in the neighboring State
Of Iowa. They are about the
same height, and about the same
weight, but Johnson's legs seem
bulkier than Dempsey's. Much Of
Jacks weight is above his waist
line, and he has trim, tapering
legs.
However, johnson will probably
trim off to a neater shape as he
gets older and his weight settles.
Dempsey is grace personified in
and out Of the ring, while John
son, with the awkwardness Of
youth still on, is more graceful
in the ring than out of It.

1t Is the consensus of sober in
difference that this rank outsider,
having nothing else to do and
wishing to offend the dignity of
ABSCESS' eight hours of rest, en-
tered the church edifice and tore
off Three O'Clock in the Morn

Deacon Ramsey. who pretends
to never have heard any song in
his life that amt in the hymn
book, was first to notice these
smart midnight obsequies. He
was aroused from his slumber by
Three O'Clock in the Morning,
and sat straight up in bed and
started to giggle.
His wife. Mirandy, caught him
cold-handed laughing aloud when
he should Nv been sleeping. and
asked him II he was sick
He said he wasn't, but couldn't
understand why that rascal in the
church belfry should be playing

when it wasn't half-past IL yet.
Mirandy slapped him back in
bed SO hard his false teeth lodged
in his heels.
Anyway, the ineighbors held an
indignation meetin' and decided
rather than be tore loose from
their slumbers at such an unheard
OF hour, the church had better sell
its chimes for junk and devote the
proceeds to new set OF false
teeth for Deacon Ramsey.

What's his coaching secret?
A knowledge OF anatomy, con-
fesses Keane. Add to that, the
rare faculty of understanding just
how to handle his squad. say his
admirers.
To be a successful track coach,
one must study the anatomy of the
men on the team, Keane contends,
pointing out that the mentors

Judging from Keane's results.
it's a worthwhile tip.
