YARN ABOUT INJURED ARM
TURNS OUT TO BE A MYTH
He Not Only Proves Story to Be False by Punching
Bag, But Shows Savageness and Speed That
Highly Impress Newspaper Men.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
- ARATOGA LAKE. n. Y, July
19.-Circumstantial evidence has
very nearly convicted Jack
~ Dempsey of an injured left arm
only three days before the
former heavyweight champion must
carry that highly potent weapon into
combat with Jack Sharkey in the
Yankee Stadium.
But a single mute witness. a bulky
leather sandbag of 200 pounds heft,
slowly turned a battered face to a jury

Official denial that Dempsey had suf-
fered such a blight to his chances of
conquering the Boston Sailorman
Thursday night. might be incorrect,
but there was no denying the evidence
offered in Jacks behalf by the hapless
bag after the workout yesterday.
Uses Left With Effect.
Scarcely an hour after Jack, during
seven-round workout, had smashed
the bag for six whole minutes with
series of left hooks and vicious right
crosses that sent the big sock flying
almost TO the celIlnS, TuLlOT SpItdu
through the camp that an injury to
Dempsey's left arm had caused the
lay-off in training over the past week
end and hadebrOught about the former
title holders sudden decision several
days ago to do no more boxing before
the Sharkey melee. Manager Leo B.
Flynn admitted the arm was sore"
and the craze for facts was on.
The final explanation was this: Sew
eral days ago, Dempsey, in protecting
himself from the hostile advances Of
sparring partners caught several blows
on his left arm. A slight soreness de-
veloped and Jacks handlers, following
a procedure they always employ in
treating stiff muscles, wound the arm
in lnament and bandaged it lightly
to protect his clothing. The bandage
itself had no more significance than
the soft cotton stockings of a
thoroughbred horse.
But one Of the camp personnel, on
grabbing Jacks arm playfully Sunday
night, felt the bandages. The whisper
passed from man to man for day
and finally broke into a full blown
rumor after yesterdays workout. But
the way Jack had slammed that bag
shortly before ruined the story.

THE DEBATE AN oRAToRIcAL

The interest which High School
and public of Pleasantyille has
recently shown in debate between
this High School and Moorestown
is exceedingly gratifying. The
enthusiasm that impelled so large
number of students citizens to go
to Moorestown on this occasion
and to enliven the event with the
spirit and enthusiasm which was
shown demonstrates the deep in
terest in activities OF this sort.
The splendid spirit of Pleasantyil1e
folks was well displayed in a
manner in which they accepted the
decision of the judges. The result
Of course was disappointing for il
competition of this sort only one
can be the winner, but in spite OF
the defeat Of their team the
student body accepted the decision
without murmur and enthusiasts
tically cheered their team.
Although the attitude is some
times assumed that one team has
lost while the other won and in
the narrower sense in regard to
1.-THE decision of the Judges that may
be true; yet in the wider sense both
teams have won almost unmeasur-

and self-control which have been
strengthened all contribute to the
