JACK STARTS WORK
IN GOTHAM GYM
Ex.Champ, Despite Denial,
Likely to Get S750,000
From Tex for Bout.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
IA VIEW YORK, November 7.-Once
more there are signs and por-
VI tents that widespread public
/ demand will bring Jack Demp-
sey out of fistic retirement and
into the ring again.
Despite vigorous assertions by the
one-time ManaSSa mauler that his
fighting days are over, day by day the
evidence piles up that Dempsey soon
will don the gloves and battle once
more for the fame and wealth the ring
already has given him.
These constantly recurring reports Of
another Dempsey comeback gathered
more credence among close followers
of the ring when the former heavy
weight champion entered training at
local gymnasium. Bag punching and
calisthenics made up Dempsey's initial
workout. He now weighs about 205
pounds, about 10 pounds above his
normal fighting weight.
Direct questions as to whether this
training program was the first step
of another comeback campaign brought
forth from the smiling Dempsey only a
denial.
How Dempsey Puts 1t.
"I find out 1 have to work out at
regular intervals to feel like myself"
said the former champion. II guess
every one needs a certain amount Of
exercise to avoid feeling loggy and
heavy with an athlete the necessity
of this activity is emphasized once his
body becomes accustomed to the work.
I haven't been feeling as feel should
for the past few weeks, and just
thought I'd start working out again.
cit doesn't mean that / am coming
back to the ring, however. Let those
other fellows fight among them
selves for the title. I'm retired
and I intend to stay retired, reports
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
But fistic followers took all this with
the proverbial grain of salt.
It was pointed out that Tex Rickard
recently said that reports that Demp-
Sey would come back were true.
"He is shy about picking an op-
ponent noW," said Tex at that time,
''but when an outstanding youngSter
comes along you will find Dempsey
prancing through the ropes again."
More Popular Than Ever.
In addition, there is no doubt that
there is widespread public demand for
the former champion. If Dempsey had
any doubts as to his popularity even
now, he must have been satisfied when
he was introduced from Madison
Square Garden last Monday night just
before the Paulino-Von Porat hight.
The crowd of $4,000 did everything
but tear down the house in an effort
to let Dempsey know that his popu-
larity, rather than being on the wane,
was greater than ever.
Close followers of boxing under
stood that Rickard had offered Demp-
sey $50O,O00 for one fight, but that
Dempsey had countered with q de-
mand for $1,000,000. This, of course,
was considered prohibitive, but most
experts took it that all that remained
was for Dempsey and Rickard to reach
a compromise on sum which they
believed would aggregate around
$750,000.

You putt as a hinge swings. To
put it in other words, the head
of your putter is to be compared to
the weight of a pendulum, the wrists
the point from which it hangs. Jerry
Travers, one of the greatest Of all
time on the greens, who is shown in
the sketch, practiced this stroke more
than any other and was rewarded
with the amateur and open crowns
of the United States as a result.
Jerry was not so long from the tees
and was wont to use a mongrel drlv-
ing iron off them when his wood
went wrong, as it usually did. But
he more than made up for it in ap-
preaching and putting.
The best putterS face the cup with
the back of the left hand and swing
the club back with the wrist Of that
hand, pendulum fashion. Then they
stroke it through with the right.
Travers did this, so did Travis, his
great rival and even his superior on
the greens.
You turn the back of. the left to-
ward the hole, because that permits
you to make a perfect hinge of the
left wrist joint. If you did not do
so, the left wrist would fail to swing
back and forward on line during the
stroke. 1t acts as the guide through
out.
