DEMPSEY Is ABOUT
READY FOR BATTLE
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
NEW YORK, May 12.-Just as soon
as Jack Dempsey feels he has chopped
down enough trees to put his muscles
in their old fighting trim, he will come
East for Summer of warfare aimed
at a title bout with Gene Tunney in
the Fall.
The former heavyweight boxing
champion of the world laid aside his
AK and other implements of arduous
training long enough to notify Tex
Rickard to that effect in long-dis-
tance telephone call from his fighting
camp in the California mountains to
the promoters office in Madison
Square Garden, New York.
Dempsey himself corroborated the
word brought East by his trainer last
month that the boxer was rounding
into "f1ne shape" under a strenuous
program of manual labor. When he
feels he has reached the peak, Demp-
sey said, he will notify Rickard to ar
range his first fight.
On that point the promoters mind Is
pretty well made up, his plans calling
for a bout between Dempsey and Pau
limo Uzcudun early in July with the
winner matched against the winner of
the Sharkey -Maloney fight May 10, for
the grand final round in the tourna-
ment for the shot at Tunney's title.

THE tournaments on shipboard
help TO break up the monotony. and
furnish a great relaxation for the
men. Besides. they offer an outlet
that is particularly beneficial. OF
course, boxing is a great thing to
instill self-confdeuce and courage.
and it also teaches man to think
quickly in an emergency.
True, there are other sports and
recreations for the men, but boxing
seems to stand in a class by itself

This is because the men know how

Dallas McGrew OF Chevy Chase,
who has been in China for several
years, tells a queer golf tale about
the pertinacity of a Japanese Minister
to China who was determined not to
let hole in one disturb his game.
Playing in a tournament at Peking.
the opponent of the Minister from
Japan secured a one on a short hole
where the drive must be over a
ravine which is out Of bounds. Not
daunted by the ace, the diplomat
drove his ball far down into the
ravine. He drove another and an
other until he finally holed out in
IL strokes. The story, according to
McGrew, Is one of the classics of golf
history in the Far East.

Eight thousand fans who were at the

the field and what Johnson termed

Ormsby was given a police escort from

additional police when the force at the
park was unable to handle the throng.
johnson, in his ruling, ordered
Cobb and Simmons TO pay their
fines ''by personal checks" within 4S
hours under penalty of another sus-
pension. This was taken as warning
that the fines must come out of the
PLAYERS pockets rather than be paid

Healthy Set of Men.

BY and large, our Navy has about
the healthiest men in the world in
it. There's no wonder in that. These
men lead regular lives, they take
regular exercise, and they have the
advantage of breathing in pure air
the salt air of the ocean.
Time was. in the old sailing days,
when q sailor was notoriously lack
ing in punching power. This was
because his arms were so used to
pulling on ropes and halyards, etc.
and this developed the wrong set of
muscles for hitting.
Nowadays it is different. The
sailor of today is potentially an all
round athlete. He combines vitality
and strength with sound health and
a strong constitution.
I had the honor of putting some Of
the lads through set of exercises.
and I want to say that / never saw
a gathering of men grasp the most
intricate exercises more quickly and
accurately than they.
