LEONARD ADMITS
DEMPSEY CAN RUN
BY BENNY LEONARD.
Cndefeated Lightweight Champion of


the WOrl0.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. September
16.-I went out on the road with Jack
Dempsey yesterday. We started off on
a walk, because our route lay Over a
couple of blocks of hard pavement. At
the end of this we came to a soft road
going in the general direction of Phil
adelphia, which the champion usually
takes for his road work.
We set off at nice little trot, Jack
and 1 alongside each other, and run
ming in step. We gradually ac-
celerated our pace till we broke into
a sprint. Don't let any one tell you
that the big boy can't run. I'm in
pretty good shape myself. I've been
training all Summer at my boys camp
in Monticello, n. Y, where l had
to set an example for 400 youngsters
L was teaching to box, etc, but had
all 1 could do to keep pace with the
champ We slowed to a walk, and
when we got our second wind broke
into jog trot and went right along at
this rate for about a mile and a half.
Back at the cottage, where Jack has
a big 200-pound dummy suspended, we
put on the punching gloves. and Jack
went at the bag with a vengeance.
Jack and l took turns at hammer
ing the dummy for little while, and
then we went into the house. Here
Jack shed his clothes and slipped into
heavy bathrobe. Then he wound a
big thick turkish towel around his
head and rested for few minutes on
the bed. 1t is in this bundled-up
period after the big run on the road
that the sweating process gets in it's
good work. Jack perspired freely.
I'm off for Stroudsburg, to see
Gene Tunney training toay. My next
story will be from there.

TUNNEY, AFTER REST,
is EAGER FOR WORK
BY the Associated Press.

STROUDSBURG, Pa, "September
16.-After two full days of rest from
boxing, Gene Tunney was eager to-
day to resume swapping punches with
his Sparring mates.
He rested because he was getting
down to his fighting weight at faster
clip than he desired. With the expec-
tation of entering the ring at 1856
pounds, he is only one pound over
that figure.
He has been working in gymnasiums
and getting ready in a general way
for his championship chance through
out the year, and there has been only
one worry about condition in his
camp--a fear that he might go stale.

in the press box, holding a watch. He
knew the round had ended at the
count of seven and. looking at the
timekeeper, he saw him frantically
signaling to the referee that the sec
ond round would have to be fought.
No one was paying attention to the
Watchholder, however.
AS Dempsey started to leave the
ring. Gibson, friendly to Jack S
cause, jumped up on the platform and
yelled to him and to Jack Kearns

ia suspicion is growing that Jack
Dempsey has been concealing a lot OF
heavy work behind the barrage of his
public demonstrations at the dog

Bill Tate. a 230 pound negro, al
ways has played one or the leading
roles during the last days of a Demp-

works before the public here is con-

to the rumor that there has been
heavy batting practice in private ses-

Dempsey has reversed his decision
to close the gates to newspaper men

he has to offer except for a private
workout next Tuesday,

ternecine strife and missed puts as
Miller B. STEVENSON, conqueror of
Roland r. Mackenzie, conqueror of
round, fell before the careful game
of the long hitting Fred Wright of
Boston in the afternoon. STEVENSON
accomplished what he has done many
times before at Columbia, in beating
a careless Roland Mackenzie in the
first round. Mackenzie topped two
, niblick shots and brace Of tee shots.
Altogether Mackenzie gave every ap-
pearance of not caring whether he
won or not. But, STEVENSON fully de-
served the victory over his clubmate
from Columbia.
Against Wright in the afternoon
STEVENSON lacked the determination
and will to win he displayed to Mac
Kenzie, errors on the putting greens
of the first and eleventh holes and
a missed tee shot at the tenth, cost
ing him a chance to beat the lanky
Bostonian.

Chick had been pointing for this
match for months, and has said so.
Bobby says nothing, as usual. But
