Omitted Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


CHICAGO, Sept 2l.- After
watching the two fighters in train
ing and after considering the mot,
ives. in the open letter writing pre-.
liminaries, the betting, the weather
and all other factors, it is the opin-
ion of the writer that Jack Demp
sew will regain the heavyweight
championship of the world when he
meets Gene Tunney here tomorrow
night.
The opinion is based primarily on
the belief that Dempsey, in proper
condition, always has been better
fighter than Tunney and on the be.
lief that Dempsey now is in perfect
coalition, mentally and physically.
Dempsey work in his training
camp certainly was more impressive
than that of the champion s but it
must be recalled that Tunney wasn't
impressive in his work before the
fight last year in Philadelphia.
Tunney never has been flashy
gymnasium fighter and Dempsey in
stlnctiVely gives great show every
time he puts the gloves on but phys
ical condition can always be oh.
served in sparring bouts and Demp.
sey surely has shown in his train
ing that he is in condition. Tunnev
also has given the appearance of
perfect health and poise. But on
the assumption that the two con.
testants are in perfect fighting CON
dition, the verdict has to be given
to Dempsey because he is a natural
fighter.
The open letter that was supposed
to have been sent to Tunnev by
Dempsey about supposed arrange
ments that were made for Tunncv
before the Philadelphia fight last
year should not be taken too seri-
cuslv. No one can say definitely
now what the purpose of the letter
was, but if it was designed to get
the goat of Tunncy it failed. be
cause nothing can upset the conf
dcncc and poisc of the champion.
Betting Odds Changing
The betting odds are changing
and it is quite probable that Demp.
sey will be the favoritc when he
goes into the ring. The switch in
the betting. however, is not too sig
nificant. It means principally that
Dempsey is the popular favorite,
that the bettors figure he is in fine
fighting condition and that he is
still the champion.
Just before all these modern mil.

Always Thus

The scoffiaw swings around the
curves at speed that's not allowed, un-
til he gets what he deserves--a neat
mail order shroud. Sometimes the
scoff1aw's course is long, and retribu-
ton sleeps; year after year he's going
strong, and luck seems his for keeps.
He's pinched for speeding now and
then, and cheerily he grins, as he digs
up the iron men, and then repeats his
sins. He's warned by brooding magis-
trates, who roast his tricks and wiles;
still, in defiance of the fates, he hits
up so miles. Men say, There ought
to be a law, expunging such as he;
his conduct is too coarse and raw, a
grievous thing to see. Among the
perils of these times he is a heavy
weight, yet he's not punished for his
crimes by either law or fate" I say,
BE patient, CATER Wax, don't rend
your beard and wall: the scoff1aw al
ways gets the ak, and justice does not
fail. The speeder runs me off the
road, and / remark, BY Grimes, some
day he'll feel the scourge and goad

hundred knaves, who at this writing
are in Jail, and others in their graves.
The scoffiaw causes widespread woe,
but still be patient, friend; though
retribution may be slow, it gets there
in the end. There is great comfort in
the thought that every wight must
pay for all the evil he hath wrought,
upon some dreadful day"

REPAIR HOUSES
IN SPRING TIME

House cleaning time should be
coupled up with house-repairing
time, and while the housewife IS
busy busting up, cleaning-up and
making sanitary the interior of the
house, the man of the house should
take the initiative and put the fur
mace, tinwork and roof of the house
in first-class shape for defying the
elements of next winter. according
to Harry Escol of the Ideal Heating
Company, 2437-39 Central Ave.
The company makes a speciality of
high-grade sheet metal work. 1t re.
pairs all makes of furnaces and
builds the Escol furnace. which has
become very popular among many
home owners.
The advance of the spring weather
has resulted in a stronger demand
for all kinds OF repair work for the
firm.
The repair department isin charge
of foreman who supervises the CON
structicn of all cutters, spouting and
roof timing. Workmen make all
kinds of repairs on tinwork. The
company cleans out caves, repaints
and resolders tinwork, giving re
newed life to the cutters and down
spouts.
Among the lines of roofing sup
plies carried by the company is Flint
Kote roofing.
Estimates on work are furnished
by the company. Escol pointed out
that furnace repairs should be taken
care Of during summer months when
all crush work" could be avoided
and every job given utmost atten-
ton.
