SEEKS TO REGAIN
 WEAVING STYLE
Dave Shade to Act as Coach at
 Dempsey's Saratoga Camp

White Sulphur Springs. Saratoga Lake, N. r., July 2 R-Jack Demp- sey believes the way back to the heavyweight throne leads through the midriffs of the two men who bar the path-Jack Sharkey and Gene Tunney.
 In the back of the former cham pion's mind today lies a picture of the rushing. weaving. two handed puncher who crashed his way to the world crown mainly through terrific body blows. To bring that picture to reality. Dempsey has carefully planned every days work out up to the time he must climb through the ropes and face Shar- key. first of these obstacles, in the Yankee stadium July 21.
 The first move in the program brought Dave Shade to Dempsey's bungalow on the shores of Saratoga lake yesterday. The California well terweight, one of the cleverest of weaving fighters, will act more as coach than as sparring partner in aiding Jack to work back into his former fighting style.
 T need Shade to show me what Is wrong with the way I weave" the former champion said today. You know how 1t is when one of your golf shots Is off that you can't tell what has happened. You watch someone else do it right and bingo its back again."
 Dempsey had his final rest yes terday before swinging into the last three weeks of intensive train ing. Early in the morning he was on the road for an hour and a half. later rowing for an hour on the lake. Boxing was taboo, how ever. and during the hot, lazy aft ernoon Jack loafed on the veranda of Tom Luther's hotel and gos- siped with the newspapermen.
 The rest was welcomed not only by Dempsey, who is perfectly satis fled with his condition at this stage of the training grind, but to the sparring partners who have taken quite a buffeting in the first four boxing sessions. Carl Carper. Chi- |cago negro heavyweight. Is nursing a set of bruised lips, and Eddy McMullin, a willing middleweight from New York, is finding diff culty breathing through sore and twisted nose. The damage in both cases was inflicted by Dempsey's left hook, winging in ahead of a bit more power than Jack thought he was using.

ARMOUR STYLISH 0F FIRST RANK
Open Golf Champions Game
 Andyzd by Experts
By JIMMY POWERS

New York. July 3-Tom Armour. the gent who will perambulate around the country this coming year wearing The title of tho United States open golf champion, is . stylist of the first rank.
 He is . notable exponent of what is known as the hip shift as con- trasted with . moro rounded pivot.
 Al . long iron player he has no superior. He has an original grip. a style of grasping the club with both hands well on top of the shaft for his iron shots. This en- ables him to put . sharp snap or punch in the stroke yielding great distance on the shot without the danger of sacrificing anything in the way of direction due to exag- gerated body effort.
 Where do I get that stun? From mono other than Walter Hagen. the old maestro of the mashie. and wee Robbie Cruickshank. tho canny Scot-two wise noodles better cap- able of diagnosing . mans game than the next one.
 Hagen and Cruickshank were talking to this writer en route to the eastern open. A great oppor- tunity. thought we. to get the form plot of the new champion. The "Haig" of late has been grudging in his free speeches to the press since he hooked up at so many centimes a word but under the kindly influence of the genial thistle. Bobby. he warmed up and the two were soon chatting away like vet eran campaigners going over" the Armour game.
 Armour has powerfully strong arms and wrists despite the handi- cap of shrapnel wounds" the two agreed. "He has that original grip which combines to put an ungodly effective snap in his shots.
 And on the putting green" spoke up Bobby. This methods are sound and his touch excellent, when he is anywhere near his form. He stands with his heels no more than four or five inches apart and butts with the ball about mid way between his two feet. He bends well over at the waist but there js no dropping or ungainly bending Of the knee such as mark the putt ing postures of some"
 Hagen quoted Cooper as an ex- ample to bring out the differences in type. Harry. now. is a real free-swinger. On a full shot he sings the club back to where the head is hardly more than a foot from the ground at times. As is the case with practically all who wield such full wallop. he gets distance in plenty but when his timing is even the least bit off the beat he is likely to be visiting the rough and other fairways."
 This ought to spike a few dis gruntled mutterings about Armour and his getting lucky break at Oakmont. Many claimed the best entrants had gone sour" at the opportune time for Armour to plug through.
 Here are two veterans introduc- ing the evidence that the Armour game is as sound as Man o'War and that "stylist of the first rank" is bouquet for nobody's garbage can either.

Yes indeed, we leave on our vaca- tion today and may the weather man have mercy on our souls.

Just when we found an almanac that said we were going to have long dry spell from July to IS, inclusive. we found that the almanac was of the vintage of 1911 and didn't count.
 But we fear we bore you with our own personal anxieties (cries of No No-Go on) we bring the topic around to fishing and, as this is the second day of July. we'll bring it to bass fishing.
