a consideration of-Onc Dollar.
1t was hard job for Flynn, as
Rickard knew it would be. There
were around Dempsey one or two
secretaries, Gus Wilson, an assistant
manager and trainer, jerry the
Greek, the rubber and "a couple of
cops.
But Flynn let them know he was
the boss and told them if they did
not do what they were told he
would sock 'em himself and then
toss them out of the camp. They
grumbled behind his back but they
danced when he was looking.
"Get your legs and wind in
shape" Flynn told Dempsey. "Not
too much road work. Get off your
toes when you re fighting and
punch short. And don't you hit
that guy any place but in the bel
ly.'
Dempsey followed instructions to
the letter and the result is known.
Flynn really made over Dempsey
in the short space of few weeks.
Before that there never had been
anyone around Dempsey to coach
him or correct him. The camp mot
to was" Nobody can beat the
champ
The work that Flynn did on
Dempsey in the corner after the
first round was work of his par
ticular art. He not only worked on
him to bring him back physically
but he used the old conversation to
restore the morale that might have
been slipping.
Just a bum over there" Flynn
said. You DOM see him making
faces now. III the belly, Jack. No
place else. In the belly And he
chanted the same thing from the
corner all through the fight.
If Jess Willard had had Flynn
in his corner in Toledo, Jack Demp-
scy might not have won the cham
pionship. If a Flynn had been be-
hind Firpo, Dempsey might nav"
been knocked out. But they were
too arrogant. or too ignorant to real

BUSTER" CEHRIG
OUT TO ACQUIRE
MANY RECORDS
Farrell Hints Lou Is Most
Valuable Player in Big
Leagues Today.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Crowning
Lou Gehrig, the wrestler-like first
bascman Of the New York Yankees,
as the greatest ball player of 1927,
may be called contempt of court or
an act of lese majestic.
There are in the major leagues
two juries of eight writers each
from every station on the circuits
who are constituted as a jury to
name at the close of the season, the
most valuable ball player in each
league. To the player elected goes
a piece of parchment and III the
case of the National League, 81, 900.
To be the most valuable player
to his team, for which the prize and
the citation are offered, the winner
need not be an outstanding star
player. Last years winners-Bob
O'Farrell, in the National league
and George Burns, in the American,
prove the point.
But if there is more valuable
player to his team than Lou Gehrig
is to the Yanks and if there is any
star who stands out above him, you
can sell that star to Colonel Jake
Rupert for about one million dol
lars.
He is shooting this year at a num-
Der of individual records that even
the great Ty Cobb never achieved.
Here are some of them:
1927 home run championship.
1927 American League batting
championship.
1927 most runs scored.
All time record runs batted in.
All time record for long hits.
All time record for extra base
hits.
What more could any ball player
strive for or any manager want in
a bah player'
And consider this-Bustcr Gehrig
is 24 years old.
He is what football coach would
call sophomore ON the squad.
He has years ahead of him and
the way he is going his future ls
like an orchard of yearling sprouts
waiting only for age to mature.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Even a
great Jockey has to have a good
horse under him to win, you can
hear it argued around the race
track.
A great horse, the argument fol-

Along the same line you can find

best Of football coaches have to
have good material to turn out a
winner and the "master mind' of
baseball cant make batter single
with the. winning run on third base.
Applying the same reasoning to
the prize ring, opinions can be
found differing as to whether the
manager makes fighter or the
fighter makes the manager.

for inventing the expression "we'
but it has been in use for a genera
tion around the ring.
When the fighter wins, the man

manager of great fighter insists
upon the credit for making him and
If he finds himself with the con
tract of punk-"I, can't do moth
ing with that bum"
Jack Kearns always has insisted
that it was he who made the left
hand of Dempsey the deadliest
punch in the ring.
"When | first got him. Kearns
SAYS, 81 strapped his right hand
to his side and made him fight with
his left alone. That's how he got
that left.
Dempsey stood for the fable as
long as he and kearns were on
friendly terms but when their part

Dempsey first acts to blow up the
myth.

There may be some doubt about
the value of manager in handling
fighter outside of the business
end of the game but there can be
no question of the value of good
trainer and good second in the

was proved in the ease of Jack
Dempsey and leo Flynn.
