DEMPSEY HAS NOT
 BEATEN GOOD MAN
Jake KlTain Doesn't Think Much Of Present Champion
tAs told by HilIy ElunsD

T haven't sern u light in 10 years and don't feel able to compare thee present day champions with thosr of oi my timr," said KlIrain when 1 asked him to do that very thing.
 "In'thc first place l am getting pretty old to be- running around 10 pr1atights and now that am enl- ploEcd at night ] don't have lhe chance.
 ''rhu last five or six lights l ,uw didn't make much Of d hit with me. There was too much tootracing and hugging and too little real fighting. Maybe l expected too much from some of the highly toucd boys. | "I have never seen Dempsey but his fights never made much ot an 1 impression on me. He never beat any really great fighter and he doesn't fight much more. than once a year, think this fellow Wills may be too much for him,
 "Of course the experts all write about Corbetts clrverne-s but never raved over him. "Corbett was fast on his tyel. He had Il good pair of legs and turned most his fights into a waltz, When Sullivan was beaten by Corbctt he dropped from exhaustion trying to catch up to COrbett.
 "Corbett used to dance about so much without regard to his oppon- cnt, that he would be forced to glance about to see what part of the ring he was in.
 Tt was at such q time that Jim 1effries landed the punch that knocked him out in the twenty-third round of their fight. likewise. Fitz- simmons landed the solar pleXus that won him the championship at Car son City during one of Jim's waltzes.
 q always admired Jim Jeffries. regarded him as a true champion. It was too bad he was brought back from retirement to be slaughtered by Jack Johnson, who, by the way. was one of the best of heavyweights.
 "That fellow Stanley Kctchel was my idea of a great fighter. He was clever, could punch and liked to fight.
 When it comes 10 the money the fighters to today had it all over the battlers of my time. They are far smarter in this respect and they not only get the money but keep it.
 "When a fighter won an import ant battle in the old days much of the purse went for big celebra- ton. The present day fighter is waiting for the. bank to open the next morning. You cant blame him for that, though
 While none Of the old-time fighters got big purses, few of, them would be In want today if they saved their money.
 "Too many of tho modern fighters are slappers instead of punchers. They don't follow up their blows"

 Center Church Beaten The Center church started off in great shape and knocked in three runs in the first inning, Skinner's two Dagger playing big part in the rally. But the Reds came right back. They made only one hit, but grievous errors and tallied five times. After this they had little trouble and increased their lead. The Center church threatened but once, when Clarks double put men on second and third with none out. Then Lawson wandered off third and Clark dashed off second into q freak double play.
 ,The fielding features were pro yided by Art StOCkman, who made five wonderful running catches in center field; Kalen who ran 10 the foul line to spear one and SCheidler.

CLIFF BERGMAN TALKS
TO CLASS IN JOURNALISM

The history of the Teddy Bear and
that of Squash Center" were given
yesterday afternoon before the eve
ming class in journalism at George
Washington University by Clifford K
Bergman, cartoonist of The Star
The stories were inspired by ques
tions from members of the class in
the course of an address on the his
tory of the newspaper cartoon. The
Star artist also made numerous car
toons before the class, and was kept
busy at the close of the session auto
graphing the sketches for individual
members.
The speaker described the cartoon
as the 16-inch gun of the newspaper
because of it's position and the fact
that 1t reaches every reader. He traced
the beginning of the humorous pic
ture to the days of the Pharaohs, and
credited London Punch with great
influence in developing this form OF
art. Thomas Nast's pioneer work in
America was mentioned.
THE cartoon" said Mr.. Bergman
should be as simple as possible Ii
should ring the bell as soon as you
look at 1t. Comparison between two
figures is most effective Next to that
is the single figure, as seen in the
presentation of Miss Democracy The
picture is not effective if there is toe
much in it,
The speaker also described the work
OF the art department, of which he is
director. and told of the development
or photography in connection with
newspaper publishing.
