Up to the present moment, Demp.
sey has put in more actual time
gclfing that he has at the less
noble and more degrading pastime
Of swattinS sparring mates. But
all this has been done upon orders
OF one Leo Put-and.Take Flynn,
the managerial bloke.
It may be explained that Put-and.
Take dearly loves the game of
golf. that he plays 1t extremely
well-and that he always has q
mad passion to bet on himself.
On the other hand, Dempsey
merely likes the game, plays it
only $3.50 and although he cares
not for any form of gambling, he
always can be goaded by so strong
an intellect as Put-and.TakS into
doing q bit of wagering.
When Dempsey arrived here
his fortune was estimated ut
about S1,25O,OOO: F1ynn's at r
about $lOO,OO0. If Put-and.Take
can keep his ''Old ruin" gOIfing

own calculating.
OF course Dempsey performs with
the gloves new and then. But not
seriously. The "old man" was In
fine fettle when he arrived. He
actually needs enly about ten days
Of real work to keep in trim. SO
the days between when he arrived
and until the latter part Of next
week will be divided between golf
and few more Of those humorous
workouts.
Each day that Dempsey labOrs
with the gloves is golden har.

Putting practice on uneven

points from rather bitter ex-
perience. And we've both agreed
in our earliest discussions aS to
battle plans, that the way
fought against Sharkey perhaps
would mot be successful against
Tunney.
For Sharkey has q fighting style
and q temperament far different
than Tunney's. And Sharkey was
weak in ways whore Tunney Ia
strong-and vica versa. All these
things have been considered.
And very soon Leo and I will
begin working out the battle plan for
TuRney. It's a bit scrambled up
right now, as all plans are at the
start. But as the days go on, wen
get it perfected and when I climb
