But as ! saw the affair, there

Before the battle, everybody went

his quielness afoot and things Of
the sort. They talked 80 enthusi.
astically about his swiftness that
everybody gained the idea that here
was q human lightning flash.
But what happened in that fight?
Well, Dempsey NEVER was
OutStepped by Sharkey. He
matched the young man from
up Boston. step for step in the
first two or three rounds. He
carried the fight TO Sharkey
from beginning to end.
Sharkey tried sometimes to back
pedal-but he always found Demp-
sey still crowding him. Sharkey
tried to step here and step there
but the lightning flash always
discovered that the ''old man" was
stepping right along with him.

ing he wanted? If Dempsey was
slow, what about Sharkey? For
Sharkey, as fast az he was rated to
be, never could keep ,ut Of Demp-
sey's way. The veteran was on top
Of him all the time.
Sharkey never iran over Demp.
sey or crowded him back. But
Dempsey was constantly running
over Sharkey and erowding him.
No matter how much Skarkey tried
to stop around he never was a0le TO
keep out of Dempsey's way. Demp-
sey was on him ALL THE TIME.
And, mind yOu, Dempsey ac-
cOmplished that BY fighting
from his new stance, which Is
on the FLAT OF his feet. He
did not step around much on his
toes. His fighting was done
mostly from 3 flatrfOOted posi-
ton. In the moments when he
chose to move around On his
tOes, as he had done In all his
other battles, SharIey looked
like the old man; Dempsey took
on the appearance Of youthful
Mercury.
Dempsey's whole battle plan was
mapped out without the call for
any speed in the early rounds; it
demanded nothing flashy and mo-
thing spectacular. He aimed to
keep on top Of Sharkey all the
time and coax him into mitigating
and beat him down gradually. He
did Just that.
Now. If Dempsey could outstep
Sharkey from beginning to end,

toes, except at rare intervals, and

Although Mccarthy did not arrive
until Wednesday night and in con.
sequence had no chance for practice,
he was not unfamiliar with the lay
out, having played here two years
ago.
Paired with Hal Harris, whose
long hitting has become by.

opening drive over behind the
rushes and taking for the hole.
But instead Of becoming fused

Keeling off the neat eight holes

the turn in 80.
The brightest spot of that out
ward journey was an eagle 8 at the
461-yard third hole, where he laid a
second shot with a No. iron to
within 10 feet of the pin.
1t was a shot that would have
made Mccarthy senior swell with
pride had he been there to see 1t.
Practically the only slips Of the
Old Flatbush representative on the
inward half came at the last two
holes. He had three puts at the
long seventeenth, after reaching the
green with two fine shots, while to
the home hole his tee shot missed
the green and he failed to get 8,
the putt stopping on the lip of the

AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE
BEST PAID IN The WORLD
American General Submits Stalls
tics to Arms Commission
at Geneva.

Geneva.-The American private
soldier is a prince-from the stand
point of pay-as compared with the
soldiers of other countries.
Statistics to demonstrate this
were presented by General Nolan
of the United States army to the
leagues disarmament commission
when 1t was in session here.
General Nolan's contention was
that while a universal and system
attic reduction of military budgets
all over the world would neces-
sarily result in reduction of
armies and armament, 1t neverthe-
less constitutes rather an unfair
comparison, owing to the different
rates of pay, standards of life, cost
of production or war material, and
other elements in the different
countries.
AS the most striking point, Cen
eral Nolan cited that the pay Of
the lowest ranking American
doughboy would pay approximate
~ 5 French "poilus"; Al Italian
soldiers and IL Japanese soldiers.
In the same manner the cost of
subsistence implying that the
American soldier eats much bet
ter or a great deal more than any
other-is much higher in America
than elsewhere.
For example, the cost of feeding
one American soldier is sufficient
for rs French soldiers; "a Ital-
ian soldiers, LIS japanese soldiers
and IA British Tommies.
General Nolan cited as other
items that render armament
budgets a poor basis Of comparison
for fixed reductions of armament,
rates of exchange In the different
countries, cost OF transportation,
both of raw material and the I'm
ished product and the purchasing
power of the money of a country
both at home and abroad.
