The following is a favoite theory

WE SEE FARTHER HIGHER UP

You know, Of course, that you can
see a greater distance If you ascend a
hill or a building than if you remain
on the ground. This is so because
the earth is curved, and hence one
can see out into a distance only if
one is high enough to see over the
curvature.
The same thing is true when you
stand in a curved street. AS you
stand on the sidewalk, you can see
only few buildings before the curva-
ture of the street hides the others
from view; as you walk into the mid
die Of the street more buildings appear
to view beyond the bend, and as you
stand on the opposite side Of the
street you may be able to see every
building.

Immediately went to bed and at
O'Clock started for Olympia fields to
take a few swings at golf balls.
There was no road work, no bag
punching, no work of any kind,
lust a complete day of rest except
for nine holes of golf. Manager
Flynn says he wants Dempsey to rest
as hard for these two days as he
has worked for the past three days.
Dempsey will not work again TO-
morrow He may go on the road
tomorrow morning and visit the golf
course the rest of the day. Thurs
day he will resume boxing and the
training from then on will be private
except for the newspaper correspond
entS. That is, it will be private unless
Flynn changes his mind and decides
to admit the public Saturdays and
Sundays.
Flynn says Dempsey is only about
three or four pounds above his fight
ing weight, which will be around 1876
pounds, the same figure he weighed
for his match with Jack Sharkey.
| He is around the 1913 mark, with
16 days to go.
