JACK DEMPSEY, WHO ONCE RODE RODS
into new YORK, RETURNS ON VELVET
TO SCENE OF EARLY FISTIC TRIUMPH

fists, the lure of his ring personal
ity and ferocity, and the courage
that pulled him back to score a
knockout after Luis Firpo ham,
mered him out of the ring, made
Jack the greatest drawing card in
the history of sport. With him
came million dollar crowds, then
$2,0OO,0O0, and finally a gate of
close to $3,OOO,O00 for his last stand
against Gene Tunney in Chicago last
September.
Now, Dempsey, still possessing
the major part Of the $500. 900 his
granite fists have earned, believes
that the time has come to quit the
game for good, before the thudding
gloves of a Tunney or the punches
Of a 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 q psycopathic
ward. Dempsey's career now has
stretched through eighteen years
''long enough" he declares.
II wouldn't fight again for $780,
100000, l have all the money I
need. I can walk around, l know
what time it is-and ! want to stay
that Wav."

Sabin Carr's remarkable perform
ance in setting a new worlds record
of ID feet l inch for the pole vault
and Lloyd Hahn's sensational half
mile in ISL 2-5 were two of the
outstanding features Of an interest
ing season of winter sports.
When Carr, the Yale star, cleared
IA feet with the pole in the inter-
collegiate championships last May, it
was thought that the roof had been
reached. But he added an inch to
his record in the indoor champion
ships with such ease that Lawson
Robertson, head coach of the Amer
lean Olympic team, thinks he can do
IA feet 6 inches.
Making his record under strict
regulations in an official champion
ship meet, Carr was more fortunate
than Hahn was when he clipped
three and one-fifth seconds off the
worlds indoor half-mile mark. There
was no regulation guard rail on the
inside of the track when Hahn ran
and the time could not be accepted
officially.
As Hahn figured in the most i'm
pressive running performance of the
season he also was the principal

Interesting climaxes of the college
track season. Cornell came almost
from nowhere and won with the help
Of stars in the field events.
Macdonald Smith, in sweeping
through three important events, and
Johnny Farrell, in taking the richest
event in Florida, were the outstand-
ing golfers Of the winter. Farrell
turned in a sensational 63 final
round to win $4,000 first money in
the La Gorce open. Some of the
critics said it was a blind mans
course, but it nevertheless was the
best score Of the season.
There were number of fine bas-
ketball teams but Pittsburgh played
a longer and perhaps harder sched-
ule than any Of the other high-rank-
ing colleges and has at least a fair
claim to the national title among the
colleges. The New York Celtics won
the professional championship with
out much trouble.
Yale, for the fourth consecutive
season., won the intercollegiate
swimming and water polo champion

WALLACE HAS
STARTED RUN
TO BISMARCK
Paddock's North Dakota Run.
ming Manager Believed to
Have Left Texas

While no definite information has
been received, it is believed that
Irving "Speed" Wallace has started
his solo marathon from Perryton,
Texas to Bismarck, N. D.
Information received the latter
part Of last week indicated that
Wallace would leave the Texas city
on Monday this week. Originally
the start had been scheduled for
last Friday but a heavy snowstorm
completely blocked Texas roads and
made footrace of any kind impos-
sible.
Perryton, Texas, is located in
Ochiltree county, northeast OF
Amarillo, in the extreme northeast
section Of the panhandle. Wallace
will follow the Great Plains high
way to Bismarck in making his run,
traversing the states Of Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South
Dakota and North Dakota.
Wallace went directly to Perry
ton to begin trining for his long
grind from Houston. Texas, where
he left Charley Paddock after the
worlds fastest human had equalled
his own worlds record for the 100
yard dash in the Rice relays.
Paddock Will Coach
Paddock will accompany Wallace
on most of the long run. The race
will be made under Charley's per-
sonal observation and advice.
H. Clay Evas, Tampico, Mexico,
newspaperman and trainer of ath-
letes, has been engaged by Wallace
to handle all arrangements from
Perryton to Bismarck.
Wallace claims a worlds record
Of 13 seconds for rounding the bases
Of baseball diamond. This feat
he accomplished in California a
number of years ago. Joe Guyon,
famous Carlisle Indian athlete, now
a member of the Louisville Colonels
in the American Association, also
lays claim to this record. having
rounded the paths Of the Moorhead,
Mimi, diamond in 10 seconds about
five years ago.
Reason For Race
According to Wallace, there are
three reasons why he is making the
run. First he wants to make the
American Olympic team that will
compete for the worlds track and
field championships in Amsterdam
this summer; second he wants to
better the average running time Of
Charles c. Pyle's hooters in the
Los Angeles-to-New York derby:
third he wants to challenge the
winner of the Pyle marathon to a
race from the Canadian border to
Mexico.
Wallace expects to average IS
miles per day and to cover the
whole distance from Texas to North
Dakota in less than 40 days.

Gloves Strip Him of Both
Health and Reason-Fought
Is Years


New York, April 12.-lR-Jack
Dempsey, once a lean, hungry youth
who rode into New York on brake
beams to fight for bean money, was
back in town today, a wealthy, well
fed business man with his fistic
future behind him.
His arrival was a far cry to the
day in 1916 when the bronzed
youngster from the mining camps
Of Colorado rode into the Metropolis
in search of fame. If there was
dining car on that train, it was in
the caboose and there was no place
there for a Dempsey to work out
the kinks that came of riding the
rods"
Dempsey then would fight any,
one-and he did. His sweeping

When Firpo came to the United
States, without money and among
strange people with whom he
couldn't even converse, he had the
luck to stumble into the company
OF one Of the best advisors in the
country, Jimmy De Forest, but he
didn't play his cards. He didn't
stick with De Forest.
When Tom Heeney, almost un.
der the same circumstances, ar
rived in this country he placed
himself under the direction of an
other old-timer, the most beloved
man in . business where honor is
not always a tond and where square
shooting is taken sometimes only
Is the virtue Of a sucker.
Heeney had an advantage over
Firpo. He could speak the Ian
guage. He had an Irish name and
he had the Celtic traits Of a most
pleasing personality. Firpo couldn't
make himself understood; Heeney
couldn't make himself believed, ex-
cept by old Charley Harvey. So he
stuck with Harvey and found him
self pushed over countless obstacles
into 2 heavyweight championship
match with Gene Tunney.
Harvey, because his name hasn't
sparkled in the big dough for years,
has not been rated with spectacular
managers like Leo Flynn and jim
my Johnston, but Flynn and John
ston had heavyweight prospects az
good as Heeney and they never
landed Of their own efforts into the
heavyweight championship ring.
Importer of Fighters
Charley Harvey, he of the wal
rus-like mustachios, had been i'm
porting English fighters for over
twenty years. His last good fighter
from England was Owen Moran, q
great fighter back in 1908 and one
OF the best ever sent out Of Eng
land. Harvey was prosperous then
but a.. Moran the supply ceased.
Fair fighters came to Harvey but
they didn't last long.
His faith was so established in
= turn OF the cards that would
bring him . great fighter from the
Empire" that he became the most
persistent collector Of British ivory
IN the world. It has been said that
the immigration officials at Ellis
Island. when they saw IN English
boy with tin ear, would hand him
= card with Harvey's address on
him and open the door without any
further questions @ to occupation
and business in the United States.

Every Break Against Him

vSAy OAcoA against HIN
For twenty years every break
went against Harvey. He was flat
broke more than he was in the
possession of dough. His fighters
had bad luck and he had bad luck.
Three years ago he was almost
broken into bits in an automobile
smashup in Chicago, but he fought
and smiled his way back on his feet
He limped back again, looking for
the break.
Heeney arrived on the scene from
England. 1t was the dead of a cold
winter and he didn't have even ar
overcoat. He had his record with
him, but it was no. enough to con-
vince the other managers who would
buy million-dollar fighter for q
dime and turn him over to some
bum OF an assistant handler.
Rated a Horrible Bum
He had beaten a lot Of Archie
Moonlights, Johnny Greenhouses,
and Kid Podunks in New Zealand
and Australia, but he was Just after
losing to Phil Scott in London and
0SSSo was A0kCO - g 11OAA1O1C Ouu
by the New York managers.
Heeney told Harvey all he want.
ed was enough money to get
back to New Zealand and the
shoeing-smith trade and he would
fight anyone to get that dough. He
didn't have any ambition to be a
great fighter. He was Disguised,
broke and discouraged and he
wanted to get back home.
Harvey knew the song he heard.
He had been through it himself,
out Of it and back in it again. But
he still had his great faith in the
coming of a good break and he took
Heeney on.
Tried to Steal Heeney
Then began that bitter fight to
keep up courage while the pro-
motors laughed at them. Worse
yet, for Harvey to impress them
that he wasn't an object Of char.
ity or sympathy and that he had q
deserving fighter.
He finally got Heeney started
and then the nice wolves in the
business tried to steal Heeney
away from him when it became
apparent that there was some
money in Heeney even - he never
got very far. Heeney, unlike Firpo,
wouldn't listen to the back knifers
and he doesn't regret it.
TOMORROW: Heeney wins
his first fight and . tile at
tention is given him because he
wasn't knocked horizontal.
