Quick Thinking

It is always the proper play
to concentrate on the player
nearer the plate if you have
two runners between the bases.
Take, for instance, the play
when runner moves off first
base, or slows up on an at
tempted steal, to give a runner
on third a chance to race to
the plate. This is a play that
causes infieldS a lot of trou-
BILE and very frequently results
in a late throw home. letting
one man score and the other
reach second,
In such a play the fellow
between third and home is the
one who should be nailed. The
proper play is for the man with
the ball-between first and Sec
ond-to get a look at the third

MIGHTY BODY
WAS fine
TARGET
By JACK DEMPSEY

The first time I ever saw Jess
Willard was in the old barroom
Of the Hotel Morrison at Chicago
in 1918 and, after taking one
long look at that huge frame, I
felt could take his measure.
That big expanSe of body seemed
to be a target I simply couldn't
miss.
Immediately afterward, began
to practice more and more the
art of ripping punches to the
stomach region. Up to 1916 I
had done little punching at any
thing but the chin.
RIBS CRACKED
In that year I met up with
John Lester Johnson in New
York. He cracked some ribs and
nearly bored holes in my BODY
with his shots. That convinced
me of the value o. an attack OF
that sort.
But it wasn't until I saw
willard in Chicago and noticed
that tremendous body that
went in for intensive develop
ment of drives for the stomach
liver and heart.
willard was such a giant OF a
man that 1 knew, if we ever meG,
zhat I wouldn't have much luck
cracking his chin until such tlme
as could-by a savage oody
attack-bring his head down Hl'o
range of my fists. .rs
Sometime after I saw WHARF
without being introduced We!iV
To Kid Howards gymnasium IN
Chicago. not knowing Willard was
there. He had just finished ms
workout and was walking OUT
with Jack Heinan, a Sparrln9
nartner. Jack recognized me- got
hold of Jess arm ana salo'
CESS, meet Jack Dempsey.
We shook hands. Then JACK
added with a laugh, you may
have to fight this fellow some
day, Jess"
willard looked me up and down,
rr1nted, "Oh, yes" and walked
away. I don't know what MS
ideas of me we're at that mo-
ment, but this second catcnlng-
no with Jess and a second quick
Appraisal of his body made me
surer than ever that I could peaU
him. ,;t,.
So I worked all the harder with
body punching-and by working 1
mean work. I kept on trying to
perfect myself in both long ana
short shots with each hand.
Used Big Negro
When the match with Willard
finally was made, the CHIEF spar
ring partner 1 needed was a man
as big as Willard, if possible.
I found him in big Bill'
Tate. the negro, who was q
keen fighter, a stout hitter, and
D fellow who could take plenty
of pounding.
It was upon the frame of Big
Bill' that I finished my practice
and, when the training siege was
ended, I had supreme confidence
in both my craftsmanship ana
my ability to get terrific force
into body punches.
The reward for all those long
hours spent in developing the
body attack came on July 4. 1919.
when I drove my opening punch
under Willard'S heart-a blow
that partially paralyzed him and.
paved the way to victory, and the
worlds championship.

Stick to Runner

This play shows the infielder
crowding up close to the base
runner and running along be-
side him. AS he keeps pace with
the runner the other fielder
makes sharp throw back and
the receiver snaps it against
the base runner as soon as it
touches his hands. BY staying
at the runners side it is impos-
sible for him to get out Of the
infielder's reach after the lat
ter catches the ball.
It is always a good idea, too,
to run a player away from the

conform to the mode in modernism, -
affect admiration, without in fact know
ing what they are all about.
Whatever may be the dement's Of
some of the public monuments in this
country-md they are many and de-
plorable-they are not total absurdities.
They are not affronts to the inteli-
gence. They may represent schools OF
art that have been outmoded, produc-
tons of immature craftsmen, perhaps
favored for the moment for personal
or even for political reasons. But they
are at least comprehensive. They tell
their stories to posterity. even If they
do not thrill the artistic souls OF be-
holders of later generations.
1t is always the privilege of artists,
whether working in paint or in stone,
to criticize the works Of others. Criti-
cism is the life of art. It makes for
advancement. There may be some i'm
patience with the Interpretations of
the publicity seeker who dings a rock
at the art of another in order to draw
attention to himself, but the rock does
not destroy the object Of his spleen
nor does It shake 1t from the favor of
those who like it or appreciate its sin
certify Of expression.
Granting that there is some pretty
poor public art on view in America, it
is q matter of congratulation that there
is as yet no Epstein form in fragrant
view In this country.

FEARLESS SPEAKING
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D, IL. d,
Bishop OF Washington.

Paul reasoned Of Righteousness. tenn
perance and judgment to come, Felix
trembled and answered. Go thy way
for this time: when 1 have a convenient
season I will call for thee" Pauls
argument was irresistible. and under
the spell OF 1t the petty ruler quailed.
He had really not anticipated that the
utterance OF his prisoner would so di-
rectly convict him of the folly and sin
fulnesS OF his own life. Had Paul rea-
soned of other things, Felix would have
found refreShment and satisfaction in
his utteranceS. He was in the attitude
Of mind OF Louis of France. who said to
his great minister MaSillon, When
hear other men am pleased with them,
but when hear you I am displeased
with myself"
1t has been universally true that the
great preachers and prophets who
welded the strongest influence in their
generation have been those who dared
to attack the weaknesses and vices Of
their age. 1t is less popular today
than In former times. The general
demand seems to be, Speak unto us
smooth things" Notwithstanding this,
they are the most compelling and per-
suasive who with fine courage attack
the foibleS and sins of their time. Felix
Is not the only one who has, before a
strong prophet Of God, trembled and
been dismayed. There are places in
our corporate life as q people where
reformers and prophets single handed
are attempting to remedy longastand-
ing Ills. There are here and there
fearless preachers who, throwing popu-
larity to the winds and disregarding
popular favor, are delivering them
selves Of a message that stirs mort
bund conscienceS and arouseS fear and
apprehension Of Judgment to Gomez
There has rarely been a time when
there was such need Of prophets of
this order as the present time. Well
did the Scotchman say, Let our
prophet come with a new mandate
for the soul upon his lips, and though
his speech be in the dialect of a
Galilean peasant, the people will hear
him gladly" There is q real and
abiding popularity that comes with
preaching Of this kind and we need 1t
sorely in our life today.
