Special Dispatch to The Star.

ATLANTIC CITY, September
13.-Jack Dempsey today paid %
glowing tribute to Benny Leonard,
undefeated lightweight champion
of the world, who will cover the
fight for The Star and associated
members of the North American
Newspaper Alliance.
Leonard Is one man who knows
the game from A to T." said Demp-
sey. HE has proven to the world
that there is nobody who knows
the fine points of the game as well
as he does. There is no man i'm the
world better qualified to cover
this fight than Benny Leonard.
I'm awfully glad he's doing this
and, believe me, his stuff is going
to be read by me. As a matter of
fact I'm going to clip his stuff and
keep it. I'll be very interested in
what he says about Gene Tunney."
STROUDSBURG, Pa, September
13.-'The Star has done a clever
thing i'm putting Benny Leonard
on the training camp job, and am
quite certain his intelligent OBJ
servance will be worth while," said
Tunney today.
Benny Leonard is the undefeat-
ed lightweight champion of the
world. 1t is natural, then, that he
would be just the man for a fair
and technical weighing up on my
chances against Dempsey and
Dempsey's chances against me.
II have my faults. and so has
Dempsey. Benny will be brave
enough to point them all out. Who
could be a better judge?"

less Joe Carroll. pitcher, bought by the
Nationals from Little Rock, reports
here today. he is apt to have his
name placed on the bad boy" list.
Joe wants the Washington club to
guarantee his railroad fare home at
the end of the season before he shows
up. According to Boss Bucky, this
will not be done and if Carroll fails
to arrive today he will be suspended.
Jameson made whale of catch
yesterday to keep a hit away from
Myar. The Indian left fielder went
far back and grabbed with one hand
Buddys terrific drive.
SO slippery was the going that there
were few good fielding stunts in the
contest. Only one two-play killing
was accomplished. The Nationals did
that in the fourth round.
Despite the rain, a fair sized crowd
turned out for the pastime. There
were more than 10000 in the stands
at Dunn field.
Ennis the catcher. recently pur-
chased from Elmira of the New York
State League is expected to join the
Nationals in Detroit. When the re-
ceiver arrives Manager Harris will
find plenty for him to do.

DEMPSEY TO FINISH
TRAINING IN SECRET
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., September
13.-The power of Jack Dempsey's
wallop is to be concealed more or
less until Gene Tunney feels it.
Tomorrow the champion will lay
off, loafing around his Bungalow. when
he resumes his training grind on Wed
nesday it will be behind locked gates.
Correspondents will be able to pene-
trate the portals for three days and
then on Saturday the champions
workouts will be strictly private.
1t will be the first time in his career
he has taken such a course.
In unfolding his plans he said he
was unable to concentrate with the
cries of crowd, complimentary or
otherwise, ringing in his ears. his
admirers said that man. under opli'
CATION to put on a show for hundreds
of people paying $1.10 each. could
not tryout as many things as he de-
sired. Furthermore, If he has any
tricks he wishes to keep secret, they
would be just as private as a trolley
ride.
Dempsey set off fireworks yester-
day in a two-round workout with
Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia light
heavyweight. who boxed the cham
pion silly on Saturday.
Tommy left the ring yesterday with
blood trickling from his bruised and
puffed lips, declaring that Tunney
would not last three rounds.

HORNSBY'S METHODS
OF PLOTTING SIMPLE

by tne Associated Press.
Manager Rogers Hornsby is boss of
the Cardinals. There has never been
any doubt of it since the slugging
second sacker took over the reins of
the team in June, 1925, and that, it is
pointed out. is one of the reasons
the Red Birds today are setting the
pace in the National League race and
guiding the eyes of st. Louis fans to-
ward the possibility of their first pen
nant in SO years.
Hornsby's method of managing the
team is simple. There are no rules,
except that the players deliver win
ming base ball on the diamond and
obey his orders quickly and absolute
ly. He has changed the system Of the
clubhouse meetings, has advised the
pitcher of the day how to pitch to
each batter. has done away with as
many signs as possible. does not be-
lieVe in poStmortems of yesterdays
game and is open to suggestions
from coach and players.
The Walter Hagen of the base ball
world is one of the terms that had
been applied to Hornsby. He has the
motto of looking toward today's
game and forgetting the defeat of yes
terday. This does not mean, how
ever. that a player can make numer-
Gus mistakes and go unreprimanded.
Such action brings "a fury but never
denunciations or ''raZzing"
The reaction of the players on this
system is the interesting part of the
whole procedure. Ask them and they
say he is the best fellow they ever
worked for"
For the first time in seven years.
Hornsby is not leading the league
in batting, but fans are not worrying
over that. Boils and bad back are
responsible for the slump, they say.

Some women so impressed him that
he'd go into the dumps about them.
1t only goes to prove that he was a

Restlessness dominated his whole life.
There came Mae DeverauX. She

seemed to think so. Jack liked her
and she him. They were great pals.
She was a great fellow All men liked
her. You couldn't help it. She had a
devil-may-care way about her, but
dead on the level, and you just
couldn't help liking her. Dempsey was
no different than the rest OF us when
it came to liking Mae.
She was more like q sister to Demp-

her brother, a clever youngster in the

such a peculiar angle when fighting
that the force of the jab. instead Of
being borne by the neck alone. is part
ly taken by his back. He comes in
more like q foot ball tacl<ler than

overcoming the punch, and the blow
he has already started lands as

He is then inside his opponents

he winds up here. As of old, he never
stops when he getse there. The ref
cree says break" but does this stop
him? Not so you can notice! lie
just keeps popping away with short,
annoying joltS.
You see, Jack never holds. The
other fellow grabs him, and that is
just what the Champ is looking for.
He keeps whaling away inside, and
he comes out the same way. You
can't really call it hitting on the
break-away, although it comes mighty
close to it.
Dempseys hands are great. Tie
hands of Il fighter. and especially of q
hard-hitting fighter of his type. are. OF
course, most important. l made Il
close examination of them and found
them perfect. Jack always bandageS
his hands with strong tape while train

when we slow up he speaks of other

You know. we are experts in that

Jack is looking and feeling lot
better since l first saw him last week.
Tuesday he is going to take a day off
