der which Dempsey was hitting
seems to have been corrected
by Master Leo Flynn who has
been trying to get Dempsey to
learn to fight flat-fo ID ather
than on the balls of his feet.
The most recent photographs
from Saratoga show Dempsey
right back on the balls of his
feet and not flat-footed as we
observed him 10 days ago.
They must have made up their
mind in Saratoga that Dempsey
is too old a dog to teach new
tricks.
Those who have been seeing
Dempsey fight for years and
years and years have been
agreed that one of his most val
liable assets has. been his roll
at the time he delivered his
fatal blows. To take that away
from him at this late age
sounds like folly and evidently
Leo Flynn is convinced OF this
fact.
Jack Dempsey hits his oppo-
nents, or rather he has in years
gone by, in much the same
manner that Babe Ruth hits his
home runs. They both seem to
pull themselves little off bal
ance in collect lg their force.
By the time either is ready to
land, he has timed his blow to
occur a little past "dead CEN
ter" so that the weight of the
body going past the perpendicu-
lar position into the roll adds
voltage to the contact.
Many baseball players who
do the same thing, including
Ruth, actually fall when they
miss q ball; just because they
are leaning into the ball when
they swing. In the case Of a

NEW YORK, July 15.-That
interest in tennis this summer
will reach the highest peak in
many years is indicated by
the announcement made yester-
day by Edward B. Moss, execu-
tive secretary of the u. S, L.
T. A., that already 5000 seats
have been sold for the Davis
Cup challenge round at Ger
mantown, in September.
This is a third of the capa-
city of the stand and represents
the biggest advance sale at this
early stage the association has
known with the possible excep-
ton of 1914 when the Austria
lians lifted the cup. In addition
practically every box has been

ToDEYS SPOR7ORIAL
BY kirk Miller

The more dispatches that come
out of Saratoga Springs con-
corning Jack Dempsey and his
effort to prove to himself and
the world he is "right" physi-
cally for another battle of the
century, the more many OBJ
servers are inclined to believe
that If he is to defeat Jack
Sharkey he will have to do it
in the early rounds-the very
) early rounds in fact.
The experts in Saratoga who
are enlightening the general pop
ulace as to the details of Demp-
sey's progress, speak dolefully
as to his wind. That is, he
puffs more than man in
good condition should. This
indicates he will have to do his
damage to Sharkey quite soon
after the first bell rings, be-
cause the longer the fight goes,
the shorter breaths Dempsey
will take and less he will have
lett IN Cne way OF strength and
vitality to give or to resist pun
ishment.
Of course, the same general
statement is true of any person
going about the performance of
any physical program, but they
do say that in the case of Jack
Dempsey, the absence of what
is generally called good wind"
