ton teed off for their monthly handi-
cap medal play. A large field was
expected to compete, including most
of the ranking players of this vicin-
ity, all of whom are grooming for the
approaching Middle Atlantic event,
which is to be played at the Congress
sional Club early in October.
The ruling Of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association that no one shall
compete in the sectional classic who
is not member of q club belonging
to the association may cut out one of
the Districts most promising golfers.
Winifred Faunce, who has figured
prominently in local events, probably
will be barred from competition at
the Congressional next month, as she
is not affiliated with any member
club
While the ruling undoubtedly does
work hardship upon occasional in
dividual golfers who are otherwise
eligible to compete for sectional
laurels. still it is a provision consid-
cred necessary by the association to
protect the rights of their members
Running golf tournaments is an ex-
pensive proposition, and why. say Off
Gals, should those who do not con-
tribute to the support of these affairs
by joining clubs in the association be
permitted to play in the events and
probably carry off the trophies pro-
vided by those who are members?
The logic is unquestionable.

WITH DEMPSEY THIS TIME
Gene Finds Change in Climate at New Camp is Bad
for Him-Champion Practicing Straight Left
Under Heart That Is Proving Effective.

Tunney's living accommodations are
excellent, and he appears thoroughly
satisfied. But his ring is in spot
where on hot day the heat seems TO
collect and hang around, and 1t re-
minds me of a Turkish bath. I've
trained some fighters that way when
| had to trim them down below their
normal fighting weight, and the
process is enervating to the fighter.
Tunney is praCticing a straight left
under the heart. He seems TO use
this blow with more deliberaton and
with a more studied movement than
any of the others he shoots at his
sparring partners. 1t is good blow.
l saw him make Billy Nidabeck vince.
and Billy gives Gene quite good
workout.
Tunney Guards New Blow.
But Tunney doesn't use the blow
frequently. lie seems content to put
it over once or twice in whole after
noon rarely more than three or four
times in days work He appears to
be guarding the punch-appears, in
fact. to fear some one may find out
about it. 1t looks to me as if it
might prove a very effective Wallop.
Tunney declares at every opportu-
ii
Fighter" and that he is only boxing
with his spa"ring partners, not fight
ing with them
I'm not mad at these follows" he
remarked to me. Il haven't got them
here to beat them up. They're here
TO help train me. l don't want to
hurt them"
Nevertheless, when I see him crack
over that straight blow under the
heart l can't help wondering what
would happen to these fellows" if
Gene weren't using big pillows" for
gloves and if this blow should land
right" on the solar pleXus
Tunney's left jah is not as good as
when he fought Tom Gibbons. His
right swing, or long hook, is very
good. but he doesn't appear to be
putting all the vim and vigor into his
blows he will have to use against
Dempsey. But Tunney showed in a
few flashes that he can cut loose with
a vengeance if he has a mind to, and
I'm beginning to suspect that this
talk about being a boxer is merely
to camoutlage his real intention; that
is, to go in and try to knock out
Dempsey as quickly as possible.

The champions share. 1t is said he
has been assured, will certainly cross
the milliondollar figure. the highest
pay for a boxer in all ring history
The original Tunney contract was
said to call for $500 900. with 80 and
25 per cent shares of the second and
third millions taken in at the box
Office.

This radical departure from ring
custom, rivaled in heavyweight fight
history only by the absolute seclu-
sion of Georges Carpenter in training
at Manhasset, n. Y, for his fight
with Dempsey in 1921, went into effect
last night, when the former cham
pion worked four vicious rounds after
all but one newspaperman had left
the camp.
Pledging the scribe to secrecy just
for the day. Dempsey outlined the
plan he believes will lead to regain
ing of the laurels lost to Tunney on
the night of the big rain in Philadel-
phia last Fall. Earlier in the day
Jack worked lightly at the punching
bags for four rounds and met the
correspondents in half-hour fan
ming bee" without revealing the new
departure worked out by Manager Leo
T. Flynn.
Works Out Under Lights.
Then shortly before pm, when
all of the newspaper men but lone
guest for the day had departed, lights
suddenly blazed up over the auxiliary
ring pitched on the race track lawn.
With all but camp attaches excluded,
half-dozen sparring partners warmed
up about the ring and Dempsey APP
peared in full fighting regalia.
Fighting with a speed and vicious
ness that exceeded anything the
former title holder has displayed at
any previous point in the comeback
training campaign for either Jack
Sharkey or Tunney. Dempsey whaied
Roy Williams. a rugged negro middle
weight, about the ring for a round.
The bell found Williams "out on his
feet" from the slashing attack and
badly hurt from a soaring body bonn
bardment.
For another round Dempsey boxed

to his old bobbing, weaving style with

latter.
