SCORE Of MACKS
HAVE SIGNED
CONTRACTS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 49,
Twenty Mackmen are safe and
sound for this year. That is, this
squad Of players can now pack their
grips and bags and hike to Mont.
gomery, Ala, today If the club SO
orders. They are eligible to report
Under o. b. rules and now await
the word Of Boss Mack for their
flight south.
Five more Macks have forwarded
theri signatures on legal paper. One
was a tried and true veteran, Frank
Bruggy; another was the Hitting
Fool" RUDE Walberg, who last
years showed more or less form. la
Rube Wadde1l, and the other three
were rockies pure and simple,
Messrs Sam Gray, Charlie Wood
and Frank LOTUS.
With these five enrolled within
the House of Mack the Athletics
have enough to choose up sides and
play game or two In Crompton
Bowl, the Franklin Field of Mont.
BOmefy.
The three youngsters are a pair
Of moundsmen and an infielder.
Gray hurled for Fort Worth in the
Texas League last summer and
emerged as one of the best Fingers
In the Lone Star State. This
should indicate that Gray ought to
to be worth while. Any twirler
who can hold his end in the Texas
organization now is nearly big
league timber. The league has de-
veloped into one of the best minor
bodies in the country and players
coming up from there bring with
them a most convincing recommen-
dalton.
LOTUS is a come back to the
Macks. He was ''farmed'' to Spring
field in the Eastern League, last
Summer, made good, and is now
coming back to make a more deter
mined try for a regular box berth.
Wood was a Bridgeport, Eastern
Lacquer. He plays on the left side
Of the. infield and is rated as fair
material.

assignments in going to the mat

after tomorrow. Coach Quinlan
feels that his team is going out Of
its class when it meets the Army,

AS the West Pointers have no
115-pound representative, it IL plan.
ned to stage two matches In the
145-pound class. Ferguson ana Cap
tain Baird will be Quinlan's selec.
tons at this weight, and the rest
of the lineup will be the same as
that in the Virginia meet, with the
exception Of White in the 115.pound
class.
Bill Raftery's basketers emerged
victors after q rough and tumble
game with Delaware Saturday, and

ever what he may term a blot
on his 'scutcheon.
Dempsey appreciates Gibbons
ring talent. The St. Paul man
is hard hitter when facing the
average opponent. He proved
clever even against Dempsey.
Boxing in New York or New
Jersey, the straight rules will
not be permitted by the authori-
ties and, curiously enough, it will
be Dempsey and not his opponent,
who will gain the most thereby.
Jack Gets Ready.
N EMPSEY is an intelligent
man. He reads the news
- papers, for instance. He
knows that, though awarded the
decision, he failed his greatest
admirers at Shelby last July A.
He knows that because he has
read the buzzihg comment follow
ing that contest.
Therefore, when he and Jack
Kearns decided it was time to
open up shop for the season of
1924, he went into training at
once. His habit is to do prac-
tically all his work outdoors.
This explains his hunting trip in
Colorado and his plunging and
swimming and loafing on the
beach in Florida.
In other words, Dempsey plans
to be at his very best for his
second tussle with the willy Glib
bons. Physically, if reports mean
anything, he is all o. X. right
now-far better than at Shelby.
Most important of all is his
daily workout with Boston Dan"
O'Dowd. The latter is no cham
pion, never will be, but he is q
big man who has speed and con-
siderable ganeness. Against
O'Dowd the champion shines I'M
his judgment of distance, some
thing that was absent at Shelby.
Accordingly, Washingtoniafis
who flock to the Coliseum Friday
night should see Dempsey about
as he will look in his first COM
bat in 1924, tall, 1.-the as a pam
ther, shifty on his feet, bewiider-
ing with his hooks and jolts in
half clinches. Only one thing
will be missing, his battle glare
and his heavy punch, to which
might be added the amazing
physical stamina which brought
him back through the ropes last
September when ninety-nine out
of a hundred men would have re-
manned after taking what Luis
Angel Firpo handed out to him.
But Jack Dempsey is champion
of the world. That's why he came
back and proceeded to conquer his
formidable opponent, the most
formidable he has ever faced.
Jack Dempsey is champion Of
the world. That's why the Coli
scum will be packed Friday night
for we all of us love Champions
in anything, fondly believing our
Uncle Sam the champion among
the nations of the world.

How II shapes Up.

"OWEVER, here's how it must
1T shape up to Jack Dempsey.
Since that blistering after
noon noon when Dempsey beat Jess
Willard into an unacceptable
mass at Toledo, no rival has gone
the distance with him with the
single exception of Tom Gibbons.
Bill Brennan, Billy Miske, Georges
Carpenter and Luis Angel Firpo
have all wilted beneath the stun
ming power of his blows. Only
Gibbons, the man who has never
been knocked out in his long
ring career, has succeeded in re-
naming fifteen rounds with the
champion and leave the ring un-
der his own power.
Now. Dempsey takes boxing
seriously, as he well might, being
the champion Uf the world. He
must have pOndered frequently

How 1t Looks to Us.


A LII this appears to US to
u foreshadow an early return
- contest with Tom. Glib
bons, probably in New York.
The St. Paul heavyweight bat
tied Dempsey for fifteen rounds
on July 4, 1923. He caught
the champion in the ring for the
first time in two years, inclined
to be a bit slow, without his per-
feet judgment of distance and
bothered by other circumstances
surrounding the bout.
The contest at Shelby, Mont,
was fought under the so-called
straight Marquis of Queensbury
rules. Gibbons benefited con-
siderably from this fact. With
Dempsey not quite up to the
mark, the st. Paul man, a skilled
veteran of the squared circle,
was enabled to clinch and back
pedal to the end.
Dempsey was the aggressor
throughout that Shelby bout.
Frequently Gibbons landed his
swings and hooks on the cham
pion's jaw, only to be forced to
clinch to save himself from
harm. His hardest blows did moi
bother Dempsey. Dempsey was
awarded the decision on point:
and even Gibbons, square mar
at all times, has never kicked
about that decision. Neither ha:
his wise little manager, Eddie
Kane.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-02-20

Early in the winter Dempsey
left the peaceful sunshine of
Los Angeles, climbed up into the
mountains of Colorado and hunt
ed wolves in the snow for al
most a month. Climbing noun
tains and chasing wolves around
the corners served to harden the
champion and prepare him for
his vacation.
Then, suddenly, he hoped
aboard a train for New York.
Three days there and it was said
he would do light training at
Freddy Welsh's place in Jersey.
In less than a week he was off
for Florida, Palm Beach, too,
playground for Americas mil
lionaires.
Three weeks or so of playing
in Florida sunshine, with daily
plunges into the heartening
waters of the ocean at blood heat,
and the champion was ready for
his tour, which closes here in
Washington Friday night.
