Last Sports Idol

Our last sports idol fell the
night that Tunney won the
title from Jack, and I say
to you who are going to be
drawn in by this Dempsey and
Leonard comeback stuff that
Dempsey looked bad enough to
me against Tunney both times
and against Sharkey once, to
convince me that we can't lay
down our arms or be Shsckled
by the spider webs o. idle
ness and ever hope TO come
back.
Didn't Dempsey look shot
enough in any one of those
three fights to convince one
and all that a fighting man
must fight or pay the penalty
Of his langor?
What more proof of this
theory do you want than the
slow. dragging Dempsey Of
Philadelphia. He handled him
self almost as poorly in Chi
cago, but his punch wasn't
present in either of the Tunney
fights, for if it was, one blow
would have tumbled Gene or
any other human.
No, I say you can't lay down
the gloves. I say you can't
hang up the fiddle and the
bow. I say you can't turn
the key on the piano nor
close your language book. You
can't do anything efficiently
after q long lay-off as well as
when you were doing it regu-
INDEPENDENTLY in physical
pursuits. such as athletics.
