BY al the rules OF boxing and
physical culture, it Is / who should
benefit by the longer fight rather
than slugger OF the Dempsey
type. The ABC's Of boxing show
that, / think, it is granted as.
4 clever defensive boxer ana q good
counter-pnncher my problem Is to
keep away from Dempsey sIedga
hammer punches, outpoint him and
tire him out.
The Washington times., 1927-09-17


III stands to reason that the
longer the fight goes the more
distressed Dempsey Is going TO
be. The history Of his ring
career shows that he has al
ways eIldeavOred TO put his man
{ away in the early rounds Of the
fight. expellding q tremendous
amount Of energy in his weaV-
ing, bulI-like rushes and his lib.
eral use Of mighty blows, many
0f which are wasted III wild
swings BY his over xealOusness
to get IN there and kill them. "
IT must also be taken into con.
that Dempsey is q heavier
man than I. and that he must ex-
pend more energy in moving his
body around the ring. He seems to
realize this. He knows that he is
ait the very peak OF his tremendous
power the minute he enters the ring,
not after he hiss been fighting ten
rounds. whereas boxer OF my
type. although always ready for an
opening as my record shows by
some of the early knockouts ac-
credited to me. really begins to hit
his pace after about the third round.
Furthermore. one must take
into consideration Demnpaey's
are. He IS no longer d light
footed yOungsfer with the speed
he had five years agO. There
are reports that his legs are no
longer what they used to be.
These. and dozen other things
must be taken into consideration.
/ feel safe in predicting that Jack
will be a pretty tired boy if this
fight goes ten rounds-which
don't think it viii.

THE MAGIC CANE
BY r. 8. HODGSON.

He was an elderly. retired business
man. His principal occupation was to
stroll about with an unwonted sense
of leisure and appreciation Of healthy
advanced age. One morning recently
ne left home and sailed out with light
ness of foot and exhiliaration of spirit,
on his way to the District Building
in quest of his tax bill. Prior to leav-
ing his room he had noticed a bunch of
canes standing in a corner: relics of
other days. He selected one, hesitated
and then decided to carry it along.
AS he stepped from the curb in front
of his residence he observed an
automobile speeding toward him.
Not knowing whether the auto
would pass in front or behind
him he raised his cane to indi-
cate to the operator that he wonld
continue his way. To his surprise
the operator slowed down and passed
in his rear.
Approaching the bus stand on the
corner he observed two gentlemen
dolled up in golf suits He had oc-
casionally met these two as they were

PRESIDENTIAL HOPES

Politicians are specializing over
Mr.. Coolidge's words: II do not
choose to run for President in 1928"
Many say he just wants to be
coaxed, others believe the strain has
tired him, and others that he is
quitting in disappointment because
his naval conference failed and the
West still is angered at his stand
on farm relief.
But the announcement did not
bring any new hats flying into the
ring.
Lowden remains an inactive pos
sibility' although a healthy boom
for his cause is under way.
Hughes has announced that he
will not run.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover is
probably the most outstanding man
on the list. Others mentioned fire.
quently are Dawes, Longworth,
Borah, Watson and Hiram Johnson.
All these men are dry, SO the
Anti-Saloon League is happy.
But Smith, Ritchie and Reed, the
leading Democratic possibilities, are
decidedly wet. The dryss lined up
behind the donkey are Senators

hey of Ohio, and w. G. McAdoo, the

NAVIES AND TALK

There were bitter words when
President CoolMge's naval dis
armament conference at Geneva
closed Thursday, and there is talk
of a race for sea supremacy, but
it is too early to tell just what will
happen.
American delegates hold the
British responsible for the collapse,
but stres sthe fact that there is no
i'll feeling between the two nations
in order to counterfeit "big navy"
sentiment. =
Japan submitted a last minute
proposal in the hope of saving the
barley, but it was rejected with little
discussion, and the Japanese now
retire, their marine minister saying:
Japan will hold herself aloof from
any naval race"
It is expected that the United
States will continue inferior to
Great Britain in cruiser strength,
but superior in destroyerS for
several years. Secretary of Navy
Wilbur is en- route. to Rapid City
to confer with President Coolidge

RADICALS TO DIE AUG. IL

Sacco and vanzetti will be
executed Thursday morning.
Governor Fuller, after a four
month inquiry, decided they were
convicted justly of the mruder of a
paymaster and a guard in South
Braintree. He refuses another
respite.
Their attorneys and millions of
friends cling to the very, very
feeble thread Of hope for inter-
vention which remains as long as
they live.
The case is significant and
dramatic, because Sacco and
Vanzetti are reds and draft dodgers.
Their trial took place in 1921, while
Americans were hunting reds with
the zeal that witches were sought
in the seventeenth century. The
judge is alleged to have made
patriotic speeches to the jury. They
are believed to have been tried and
convicted of political heresy rather
than murder.
Consequently the whole world has
been interested. Governor Fuller's
announcement Tres radicals every
where. The Swedish Sacco- Vanzetti
committee is urging a boycott on
American goods. Italians hope
Mussolini will intervene in some
way. The Communist section OF
the General Federation of Labor
of France has called twenty four
hour protest strike for Monday.
Bombers are feared both in
of Washington monument in the
America and abroad. The stairway
Capital is closed, and heavy guards
stand around public buildings.
