~HICAGO, ILL.,. September 22.-
/ pick Jack Dempsey to win
his fight with Gene Tunney
~ in 10 rounds.
If he does, he will be the
first heavyweight champion of the
world who ever regained his title
from the man who took it from him.
The reasons why ] think Dempsey
will win are because he is 100 per
cent better today as fighter than he
showed that night in Philadelphia
when he lost his title, and Tunney,
while he is as good as he was at Phil
adelphia, is no better.
Dempsey is a harder hitter than
Tunney. He has more stamina and
now he is a much better boxer than
he was in Philadelphia. He is trained
to the best possible condition he can
attain. He is care free. full of con-
fidence and determined to win.
do not feel very enthusiastic over
his chance to score a knockout: but
a lucky break might give him that
kind of a victory. / do not expect
that Dempsey will make a rushing.
slambang fight so much in the first
few rounds; rather l look for him to
take it a bit more carefully, studying
out his moves and striving for ac-
curacy, waiting till he is sure he
will land before he let's a punch go
and maneuvering to get in close so
that he can pump his heavy artillery
into the body of his opponent.
Dempsey May Go Slow.
I do not believe Dempsey will go
walking into Tunney, standing up
straight, like he did last year. but will
bore in with. his legs bent Slightly at
the knees, on the balls of his feet
not on his toes nor f1at-footed-that
he will be feinting as he bores in
and that he will be better able to get
to close quarters than he was before.
After summing up, / come to the
conclusion that Dempsey has improv-
ed his footwork until it is as good as
Tunney's. I think that they are
so evenly matched that it will be a
case of Dempsey winning on his ag-
gressiveness.
Dempsey believes he can Withstand
greater amount of punishment than
Tunney and that he can hit harder.
This belief. coupled with the fact that
Dempsey, after having sampled Tsn-
ney's punch, also Is confident that
Tunney can't knock him out, will
cause Dempsey to carry the attack 10
Tunney.
Tunney Needs Speed.
Thus, Tunney's only hope lies in
escaping Dempsey's attack or weather
ing it until Dempsey tires from his
own exertions. The fact that Demp-
sey stood up under Sharkey's wallops
for several rounds shows that he
could keep on going for several rounds
anyway, and that fight helped him.
But Dempsey, am sure, has no in
tention of tiring himself out in the
first round or two. He will wait till
he gets to Tunney few times first
gradually increasing his attack until
he wears down Gene and slows him
up bit.
I look for Tunney to try to make a
runaway fight of it. BY retreating
and keeping on the defensive, Tunney
will lose points that will be counted
in Dempsey's favor.
I do not think that Tunney car

him out and | do think that Demp-
sey's punch has lost bit of its steam
in that it has slowed up O bit.
I would rate Dempsey as so per
cent what he was in Toledo. he MAX
ing up in increased boxing ability
what he lost in speed. endurance and
ability to hit fast and hard, about in
that ratio.
Breaks for Dempsey.
IF Dempsey is lucky enough to
catch Tunney with a damaging punch
like he did in the fourth round of
their first fight, l believe he will be
able to follow up with the advantage
and be able to do more to Tunney
than he did then Nevertheless, ne
will have to he lucky more times than
once before he can score a knockout. q,
/ do not think he will be that
lucky. for Tunney is fast and knows
how to protect himself pretty well In
the clinches. Nevertheless, / do think
Dempsey will get the breaks.
Therefore. taking everything into
consideration. | think Dempsey will
win the decision in the 1limited -
rounds.

the old-timers used to go through, is
hardly fair.
1t used to be that a battler would
have to spend several weeks working
the poison out of his system after a
long period of carousal. Then would
come the hardest kind Of work to put
a rundown body into shape.
Both Jack and Gene have led clean
lives-particularly has Tunney kept
in prime condition at all times. They
didn't have to work off lot of weight
and build up bodies that were torn
down by dissipation and hard living.
Instead they have gone through a
sensible training to put an edge on
an already fine physique. And the re-
suit is that both Of them got into al
most ideal fighting shape before the
battle.
To make sure that nothing hap
pened to mar this condition at the last
minute, the fighters have been guarded
like visiting potentates. A sure way
to commit suicide would have been to
try to tamper with the food of these
pugilists. Any talk of last-minute food
alteration will fall on deaf ears.

Cadet Officers Given
Regular Army Drill

Gainesville, Ga.-Twenty-two of
the highest ranking cadet officers of
Riverside Military Academy, have
left here for Fort Benning, Columbus,
Ga, where they will be quartered
with officers of the regular army, who
are receiving instructions in modern
field maneuvers. The cadets, who
are from eight different states, will
be admitted to Fort Benning as the
result of special ruling of the war
department. The academy here is
said to be the only school in the coun-
try whose cadet commissioned officers
will have benefited by this instruc-
ton for two consecutive years.
Riverside Academy last year won
the distinction of receiving the high
est grade for it's military work over
any military. school in the country
1t also has been designated an honor
school by the war department for
four consecutive years, record said
to be unequalled by any other school
in the south between Virginia and
New Mexico.

tent this wealth has been built up
from individual savings which started
with the setting aside of modest
sum each week Leach pay day until
a sufficient amoNE was obtained Tor
the down payment on a property.
These associations, according to re-
liable estimates, are said to be the di-
rect cause of about 100000 new
homes a year. 1t is quite probable
that this is sl.sufficient to house the
nations annual increase in popula-
ton. Thus all home ownership IL
nanced bv means other than through
building and loan associations is a
net gain.
Good roads and the automobile
have done much to encourage home
ownership. Peoule who would other
wise live in city apartments and city
homes are migrating to the suburbs
by the thousands.
There is nothing to indicate any
pronounced changes in these develop
ments during the coming spring and
summer. The wave of home building
and home ownership will no doubt
continue and rightly so for they are
in keeping with true thrift.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. Straus, President American
Society for Thrift

Developments in the building indus
try are receiving widespread atten-
ton as the Spring season approaches
and it is noted with pleasure that IN
dications point to continuation OF
home owning activities.
There is no type of thrift more
worthy of encouragement than this.
1t is one of the most splendid exam
pies we have of personal progress.
Many who would not save money un-
der other circumstances will do SO
when the object of their thrift Is
to pay for a home of their own.
The building and loan association
are doing a great work in the encour-
agement and development of home
ownership. People who would other
these societies have over 7,OOO,OOo
members and own assets OF more than

The speaker pointed out that there
were many causes for disrespect for
law, each of which, stimulates and ag-
gravates the others.
among other things" Mr.. Nc
Adoo said, 1--WE must pay the penalty
for the highly developed individual
ism running through American char
acter which frequently manifests op-
position whenever it becomes neces-
sary to protect the mass of some
abuse which threatens their security.
This hostility to necessary regulation
is not in itself a source of laWness. 1t
is an attitude of mind which can be
easily preyed upon by groups OF in
terests who are opposed to particular
types of effective regulation and it
operates chiefly by dulling the popu-
lar sense of need for the vigorous
and efficient enforcement of the law.
The lawless elements take advantage
of it for their own sinister purposes
and find an audience for their gospel
of liberty when they are seeking a
baneful and destructive license"
Mr.. Meade further pointed out
that this attitude of hostility to au-
thority has been accentuated and ag-
gravated by political conditions
which have grown up in the last half
century in many parts of the country
and particularly in the large cities,
and it is these conditions, which
more than any other cause, are re-
sponsible in his opinion for the gen.
eral violations of all law and of the
prohibition laws among the rest.
Corrupt Municipal Politics
Behind the cloak of the liquor
question, behind the propaganda
against the Eighteenth Amendment,
corrupt municipal politics is making
concerted and nation wide drive to
encompass with its fatal embrace the
national politics of this country" de-
clared Mr.. McAdoo. The November
elections witnessed for practically the
first time in our history the open at
tempt of two great municipal bosses
to seize for themselves the power and
honor of membership in the United
States Senate, body which we have
been proud to regard as the most au-
gust deliberative assembly in the
world. They made their drive pri-
marily as champions of the iquor
traffic and Of every evil force con-
nected herewith
Entirely apart from the prohibi-
ton question:" Mr.. MeAdoo asserted,
"this is the sinister campaign which
Americans who love their country
must meet if law is not to be turned
into ridicule and if public order is
not to give place to reign of anar-
chy and violence"
