DEMPSEY KAY0
IS EXPENSIVE
EXPERIENCE
Few Fighters Come Back Aft
er Being Floored BY the
World Champion

They never seem to come back after
being floored for the fatal count Of
10 by Jack Dempsey. heavyweight
champion of the world, idle for 10,
these past many months.
A review of Dempsey's fistic career
displays the fact that he has halted
many an ambitious fighter and many
who perhaps weren't quite SO ambi-
tious.
Jim Flynn Topped as drawing
card after Dempsey got through with
him years AGO.
Fred Fulton never amounted to
much after Dempsey dropped him in
13 seconds at Harrison, N. J.
"killed" Miske, Willard
Bill Miske was killed as drawing
card, and as fighter as we'll, when
Dempsey flattened him.
Jess Willard never amounted to
much after Dempsey flattcned him at
Toledo. He retired for period Of
four years after losing to Dempsey
He then essayed a comeback, beating
Floyd Johnson in II rounds and losing
to FrpO in eight.
In 1924 Georges Carpenter came
within close range Of Dempsey's
vicious attack. In the fourth rount
Carpenter went down under the bat
tering fists Of Dempsey, his fighting
heart crushed beyond repair.

same scrapper since. The terrific
stomach punishment Gibbons absorb
ed in the Shelby bout slowed hin
down noticeably and made him sof
picking for Gene Tunney.
Came then the Wild Bull Of til.
Pampas to test his skill against Jacl
Dempsey. Such wild fight the pres
cnt generation Of ring followers ncvc
watched, either before or since.
And Firpo amounted to little o
nothing after Dempsey had taken hi
measure in such bloody fashion.

Chicago. April l2.--tP) The tumult

The Ii American and National

contain both known and unknown
possibilities. The strength of the
world champion Pittsburgh Pirates,
and the Washington Senators. win

Formidable Contenders
The Philadelphia Athletics and the
st. Louis Browns loom as formidable
contcnders in the American race,
while McGraw's New York Giants and
Hornsby's st. Louis Cardinals are
two teams 1t least that stand in the
way Of repeat by the Pirates. In
fact. McGraw says that only injuries
can defeat him.
Along with the teams that aprar-
emily will have no look in on the
money are several remodeled aggre-
cations Of youngsters fired with
youth and enthusiasm whose possible
li.ies can only be revealed in the heat
of battle.
As usual, number Of familiar faces
will be missing from Tuesdays open

Cubs Have New Manager
One new manager makes his bow
to the majors-Joe Mccarthy Of the
Chicago Cubs. After plotting Louis

million. turned him loose to whip :
team Of youngsters into veteran ma

to pep up his youthful team of un
known strength, but he says tina
youth and speed will make the Cubs
surprise.
Several teams, particularly the Sen

GOLF IS NO
MORE A RICH
MANS GAME
Astounding Growth of Sport
Reduces Cost to Reason
able Figure

Golf is generally looked upon as a
rich mans game.
Just why this belief continues to
exist is mystery to many.
For golf, due to its astounding
growth during the last Is years, dhas
been reduced in cost to such low ex-
tents that now complete equipment
for a beginner can be purchased for
s33.75.
This cost will not give the pur-
chaser the very best equipment avail
able. Nor will it furnish the pur-
chaser with the cheapest equipment
obtainable.
But it will supply scrviceablc ma
tcrial-clubs that will stand the use.

them by the beginner.
Four or Five Clubs Enough
Five clubs and bag are sufficient
for beginner. One can get along
creditably we'll with four clubs. elm
mating the brassic. which can be pur-
chased later.
A $33.75 outfit has been selected as
follows for the beginner:
Driver. $2.75; brassic; $2.75; putter
$2.25: mid-iron. $2.75: mashie, 1925;
bag. $500: shoes, $3.50; hose. $l.5O;
knickcrs, $3.50; slipovcr sweater
$3.50, and one durable ball. 80 cents
Many Of the wealthy do not pur.
chase more expensive equipment than
that listed above. except for balls, tho
price Of which run from 80 cents on
up.
Green Fees Reasonable
Where municipal links are avail
able, the fee usually runs from 81
cents on up to 81 but hardly over the
latter amount. Seventy-five cents i:
recognized as the standard green's fec
ut municipal courts.
In cities where municipal links are
not available. country clubs charge
from 81. and 81 on up as a green's fee
which isn't such an overly scale. al

ran 200 yards for touchdown, is
playing second base for Brooklyn.
While playing football for Lehigh
in his college days, he was given the
ball in the shadow of his opponents

down the gridiron in what appeared
to be one of the most foolish plays
ever attempted.
He reached his own posts. raced
across the field and then to the enc

Several years ago he was tried by
the Philadelphia Athletics. Later he
played in the American Association,
