DEMPSEY'S RISE TO
 TITLE METEORIC
Was Champ Inside of Four
 Years From Beginning

Philadelphia. Sept. IS P)-Jack Dempsey. drifting into pugilsm by way of the life of a hobo, rose 10 fstic heights more rapidly than any other ring champion, actually punch ing his way to the title in less than four years from the time he first pulled on a pair of boxing gloves.
 Dempsey's career is unique not only in so far as his record of knockouts is concerned before he became champion. but also by the fact that he was in the limelight such a short period of time. It took him only one year to compile a record of such formidable character that he earned the opportunity to battle for the highest honors of the ring.
 Through the year of 1918 Demp- sey fought 19 battles and won 16 of them by knockouts. He lost only one decision. dropping that to Will lie Meehan in a war benefit contest of four rounds.
 Took Nonpareils Name
 Born of rugged parents 3l years ago, Dempsey claims that he has Irish Scotch and Indian blood in his veins and insists that the fight ing qualities for which all three of these races are famous have been bred In the bone and blood and have come to him in generous pro- portions from his ancestors. Demp- sey's name is William Harrison Dempsey. but when he started fight ing he assumed the name of Jack" after Brooklyn's famous Nonpareil.
 Most of Dempsey's early life was spent on 8 farm. but later he worked In the mines except in har- vest time. when he found it more renumcrative in devoting his strength to reaping wheat and other crops. In this way Dempsey kept himself in good physical condition.
 Dempsey. according 10 his own story, engaged in his first fisic en- counter in an improvised ring at Montrose. Colo. which was near his home. Manassa, when he was about 19 years old. That was in the early part of 1915. His first opponent was a young blacksmith named Woods whom he knocked out in tho third round. Dempsey's initial ring appearance netted him the princely sum of s25. His next fight also resulted rl a three-round knockout. Andy Malloy who had previously walloped one of Dempscy's brothers. was the victim.

 Customs inspectors discovered the contraband had been sewn in the petticoats of the sisters and all four were taken from a Pacific train at the border. Examination Of their effects revealed the full extent of the seizure. The lace was subsequently, traced to a lot which had been found in the. trunks of two Belgians at Quebec.

MCLEAN CITES PROSPERITY, PRAISES
 COOLIDGE IN HIS KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Tribute To Clark

Senator Mclean, referring to the absence of Charles Hopkins Clark, who had been at every convention which he had attended, said that he spoke tonight as he believed Mir. Clark, wise and courageous leader would have him speak.
 Wet-Dry Position
 Many things the senator said made his audience give close at tention. His expressions on the wet and dry" issue indicated that he was not in sympathy with the 18th amendment. He declared that temperance was a matter of "edu- cation and persuasion and not of legislati tion." He said that so long as the American people have grains, fruits and vegetables which will ferment they will have alcohol if they want it.
 His own plan to start solving the problem would be to start an in quiry into the illicit making and countrywide consumption of alco- hol and keep the question out of politics. One good thing the amend ment did. he said. was to abolish the saloon. He would not have the dry act changed at present and be- lieved vets and drys ought to be wise enough to have patience until a sane solution is reached.
 Senator Mclean praised national and state republican administra- tions, spoke in complimentary terms Of Senator Bingham's serv- ices in the senate, and believed Governor Trumbll was the right man on the ground, in the air and on the water" as we'll as in his office.

taking up the life of a hobo, a youth with wanderlust who rode the rods for the fun of it and fought occasionally for the excitement as much as for the small sums of money 1t brought him. Dempsey took on a bout whenever the oppor- tunity offered. Between times he returned to odd farming jobs or worked as a miner.
 By long odds. his most impressive achievement was the victory that opened the avenue to his fight with Willard. That was against Fred Fulton, the Minnesota contender, dead to the world in the remarkably short space of 23 seconds. This fight, a contest that stirred the box ing world, was staged at Harrison. N. J. in 1918. Praise immediately was heaped on Dempsey and he was heralded as the next champion of his class.
 Dempsey's victory in four rounds over the giant Jess Willard when he won the championship and his triumph over Luis Angel Firpo in two rounds also stand out as stirring battles of his career.
 Short Fights

When Dempsey was knocked out In the first round by Jim Flynn in their contest in Salt Lake City in 1917. a result that Auerbach regarded as queer, he told Dempsey 10 hunt up a new manager. He drifted to New York. tying up with John the Bar Der" Rcisler. A few months later he returned West. While in San Francisco he became acquainted with Jack Kearns in a gymnasium and remained with him until their smashup about a year ago.
