N YGW YORK, January Possibly
nj it m ans something prob
ably it doesnt-but old Johnnie
Dempsey is helping himself to
daily workouts at the gymnasium of
Artie McGovern, muscle molder to the
princes of the sports realm.
He stalked into the foundry Of tn:
McGovern yesterday for the first time
in months, accompanied by the ever
reliable Gus Wilson, the French trainer
and companion he acquired by knock
ing Georges Carpenter loose from his
encourage that overcast July afternoon
in Boyles Thirty Acres, back in 1921.
He had asked that the d epest secrecy
surround his visits and the surprise was
mutual when he collided with a re-
porter, q fellow warrior against the
threat of encr0aChing flesh, III the box
like booths that adjoln tn gymnasium.
Jack had his own boxing shoes and his
gym clothes tucked under his arm. He
looked ready for a fight or frolic.
'Hy, kid, he yelled. Lets get going.
Needs the Exercise.
He wouldn't admit that his presence
there meant anything as far as the fight
game was concerned. He ne ded eXer-
else, he said, pointing out that he
wasn't alone in that respect. Fight
plans? He had none.
McGovern stretched the former king
of them all on a mat and put him
through a tough grind of leg and body
exercises. Dempsey took it in great
style He punched the bag, shadow
boxed, wr;stled. He jumped on the
scales and the needle rested at 20S
pounds, eight pounds above what would
be his best fighting weight today,

MORE GLORY, COIN
! IN WEST FOR MAX
After UnprofitabIe Visit East
Heavy Expects Big Money
on Coast.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

N YEW YORK, January 90
M Make Adelbert Baer is go
ing back to California.
What with the cold wealth
err, the lukeWarm enthusiasm of
the customers and the high cost
Of night life hereabouts, the Liver
more larruper has come to the
conclusion he is wasting time and
money in New York.
Ancil Hoffman, California promoter
who took a siX-month lease an Baer
before bringing him East, wants to
make some money out of the venture,
and believes he can do 1t better in
California, where Max is regarded as
the greatest thing In ring shoes, more
expeditiously than hereabouts. where
the public is now disposed to regard
Baer as just another heavyweight.
A return bout between Baer and
Eeerey in San Francisco or Los An
geles might be good for $4,000. Last
Friday nights fight here between Baer
and Heeney attracted net of slightly
less than $4,000.
Though Baer did not shape up so
well as far as he went with Heeney, the
writer still believes the Californian can
become a topnotch heavyweight if he
will settle down to business. Max was
all grim determination when he boxed
Schaaf, but against Heeney he carried
the playboy attitude into the ring with
him.
Maybe it was according to prear-
ranged plan that he fooled around in
the first two rounds with the Hard
Rock. At any rate. when he got down
to serious work in the first minute of
the third he gave old Thomas q lam
basting.
Tom McArdle had planned to send
Baer against Johnny RiSko on Feb
ruarr 6. Now that Max has decided
to 60 home, Tom must rustic around
for something else on that date. He
hopes to close for a return match be-
tween Len Harvey and Vince Dundee
Other contenders for the middleweight
title, now vacant in this State, will be
useo to fill in the card If the Harvey
Dundee match is made.
Ernie Schaaf and James ]. Braddock
will supply the fighting in the main
event next Friday night This is
Braddock's big opportunity to put HIM
self in line for some good heavyweight
shots. Jimmy is a full-fledged heavy
weight now, weighing around 1876
pounds.
The Jersey boy should show up better
as a heavyweight than he did In the
light heavyweight ranks. His lack of
speed which handicapped his efforts
when he was campaigning among the
175-oounders, will not be so much of
q drawback among the big fellows,
most Of whom are none too agile.

There's Magic in His Putter
Sandy Armour Performs Marvels With Mongrel
Stick He's Had Twenty Years.

For something more than 20 years
Sandy Armour Of Congressional has
owned a mongrel sort Of putter, with
which he has done doughty deeds up
and down the land and in Scotland,
his native land. This putter is CT
the familiar aluminium type. but in
stead Of having the customary short,
stubby head, 1t has a very lengthy
face. narrow for the type, and fair
ly short shaft The things that
Sandy does with this putter are
hardly believsble, for he has the dis

He was the first man who had ascer-
tanned any weakness OF that kind in
the batting of Combs So sharply
was the line drawn between them
that Combs at one time was on the
point of returning to his home in
Kentucky in encouragement.
Some of the players, most of them
for that matter, who had anything
to say about Combs, sided with him.
That was good for Combs but not so
good for Shawkey BY and by the

strategy and when that took place

Dusty Cooke, the big outfieldeY
from st. Paul who was so fast, yet

Shawkey broke him up in batting
He attempted to teach Cooke how to
hold his bat in a different manner
and tried to change his stance at
the plate. The result was that
Cooke begged and stayed begged.
The fact is that Shawkey did not
know enough about batting himself
to try TO teach youngster.
Cooke, if let alone, should be one
OF the best batters in the American
League before he is through with the

- ONE things now can be told
about the friction that ex-
listed among the New York
~ Yankees during the 1880 base
ball season. 1t was not noisy
and there were no verbal outbursts
of temper, but the friction was there
and the cause of it was Bob Shaw
key, who succeeded the late Miller
Higgins as manager of the team.
It may be taken for granted that
Joe Mccarthy, who will pilot the
Yankees in 1881. will profit by the
experience of his predecessor Joe
showed that he knows how to handle
ball players when he managed the
Chicago Cubs over a period of five
years.
Higgins had his way of running q
ball club and much of IL was based
on study of the characters of his
players. Shawkey was very lame in
character study. II he wanted a
thing done he wanted It done, and
that was the end of it.
Earl Combs who. by the way, is a
close friend of McCarthy--was not
in open rebellion against Shawkey,
but he was very close TO it. Shaw
key conceived the notion that he
had to take Combs out when left
