N yEw YORK. April i2.-,Jack
IN Dempsey. once a lean. hungry
vi youth who rode into New York
4 on brake-beamS to fight for
bean money, was back in town
today, a wealthy. well fed business man
with his siStic future behind him.
His arrival was far cry TO the day
In 1916 when the hronzed youngSter
from the mining camps of Colorado
rode into the metropolis In search OF
fame. II there was dining car on that
train Is was in the cabooSe, and there
was no place there for q Dempsey to
work out the kinks that came of riding
the rods"
Dempsey then would fight any one
and he did. His sweeping fists, the lure
of his ring personality and ferocity and
the courage that pulled him back to
score q Knockout after Luis Firpo ham,
niered him out of the ring made Jack
the greatest drawing card in the history
Of sport. With him came million dollar
crowds. then $2,00o,0 900, and finally q
gate OF close TO $4,000. 900 for his last
stand against Gene Tunney in Chi
cago last September.
Has Plenty of Money.
Now. Dempsey, still possessing the
major part of the S2.500, 900 his granite
fiSts have earned. believes that the time
has come to quit the game for good, be-
fore the thudding gloves of Tunney or
the punches of younger man strip
him of both health and reason. Ring
history is full Of examples of men who
stayed beyond their time, for just one
more big purSe-and ended their days
cutting paper dolls in psycopatllic
ward Dempsey's career now has
stretched through iS years-"long
enough" he declares.

rSRED MCLEOD, the diminutive and
- popular professional at Columbia,
Is wondering what all this game
of golf is about, It seems that

II
Il of golf is about. 1t seems that
Freddie is doing things on the
golf course he didn't think he could do
and as a result his scores aren't what
they used to be. The other day he
played the first six holes at Columbia
in / under par, and missed flve-footer
for a birdie at the eighth--but then
any man can miss f1ve-foot putt. Two
under 4s going to the eighth, every
thing pointed to a 33 over the first nine
for the little Columbia pro, for no man
can play the short holes better than
he-and there was the short eighth and
the none too difficult ninth to negotiate
in 3, 4, to get out in 80.
But he took 81, and how he did it he
can't figure out yet. He pulled his tee
shot at the eighth, tipped his second
up barely on the green and took three
puts Now the Mcleod of other days
would have been very close to the pin
with his second shot, and probably
would have secured g. But the end
is not yet. He poled out character
istic Mcleod tee shot-long and low
against the wind--at the ninth, put hts
second Just off the edge of the green
and then more tragedy.
The Mcleod of other days would have
left himself little to do on the putting
green. His chip would probably have
been within three feet. Instead 1t ran
eight feet over the cup, above the cup
on a slope, and he took three puts for
6.
Now even the best pros always have
admitted there isn't a better man in
the world so yards from the pin than
this same Freddie Mcleod. Whether in
a bunker at the green or off the fair
way, he always plays for the pin. And
to see the shots slip away from him as
they have been doing Is painful Freddie
don't quite know what to do He blames
some of 1t on lack of keenness for
the game, but insists that he plays the
shots just as he has always done. Per-
haps 1t is just one Of those queer streaks

To any man who has been In the
