Jack Dempsey had two more
knockoutS Of fourth-rate heavy
weights marked off on his come
back exhibition trial.
The former champion of the
world appeared in good shape last

down for the third and last
time.
AL Devaney, Albina, went out
for the count from a left hook
after only 80 seconds Of the

Following the usual schedule,
Denny Lenhart, Portland, gave

HUNTER FIRST
IN DRIVING

Placing two drives over the
25O-yard marker and past the
road, j. Monro Hunter, jr., took
first place in the preliminaries for
the Washington Times golf driv.
ing championship at the Indian
Spring Club. Hunters other drive
measured 214, giving him a total
yardage of TIA.
Second place went to James v.
Brownell with a total OF zoo
yards. His drives were 225, ESQ
and 225, his second going over the
road.
Such long drivers as DR.. Larry
S. Otell, Tom Belshe, Bill Harvey
and Leo S. Pass failed to keep
all their drives within the limits.
DR.. Otell came upon the scene
as the contest was under way. He
grabbed a golf club, removed his
coat and whacked his first offer
ing 225 yards, but drove out-o1'
bounds with his second, trying to

Pass was wild with his first
shot, while Harvey sliced his
second and third after dropping
his first over the 25O-yard stake
and carrying over the road.
BeIshe knocked his first out
of bounds.

Babe Ruth is 81 and the Bam-'
bino is playing the best game
of his career, in spite of the
fact that the Babe" was sup
posed to be all washed up six
years ago. They said tl.e Bam-
bino's legs were gone. he was too
fat.
Gym Work Does Trick
After two months training in
my gymnasium the Babe" joined
his team and the legs that were
supposed to be shot carried him
through his most successful sea-
son, setting a new home-run rec
ord. He has continued these past
six years to be the outstanding
athlete in baseball.
When Dempsey started train
ing under my supervision this
year, I found him to be in excel
lent physical condition. He was
much better than Was Babe
Ruth when he came to me in
1925. Dempsey is still a fighting
man at heart. No matter what
his age, what would have hap
pened if the long count OF Chi
cago was a short count9 Demp-
sey would then have performed a
successful comeback, lie would
have regained his title.
Dempsey is the finest physical
specimen 1 have ever seen. He
has taken good care Of himself.
He lives moderately, dissipateS
very little, enjoys smoking
cigars, and loves good food.
He is always playing pranks on
his friends, and when not in train.
ing he has an abundance Of en-
ergy. He seems to be utterly tire
less. He is here, there, everywhere
the embodiment of pep. Hard
work, and more Of it, used to be
DempSey's formula for training.
Road work, boxing and bag punch
ing were on his program for four
or five hours a day. The old
methods Of training, which might
better be called Straining, was the
chief reason of DempSey's poor
physical condition in his last
three fights. Dempsey's energy
should have been conserved-not
burned up.
Keep Jack in good mental con-
dition, in a good psychological
frame of mind; keep him strong
by a moderate training regime,
keep him in his natural high
strung nervous state, "rarin' to
go" and his age, legs, or what
have you. will not save his op-
ponent from being knocked out.

WANT MAT PAIR
REMATCHED

Local wrestling fans are not
satisfied that Ray Steele is the
master of Don De Laun, the
Canadian heavyweight. and they
are anxious to have the the pair
rematched. Steele threw De Laun
with a body slam after q min
utes in the feature of the pro-
gram at the Clark Griffith Sta
dium last night.
Despite a heavy shower an
hour before the bouts, hich
drenched the field and ring, as
we'll as intermittent drizzles after
wards, Promoter Joe Turner de-
cided to put on the show when
the weather bureau had advised
him that more rain was due for
tonight.
Though Steele emerged vic
tor over De Laun, the 1000
fans who braved the elements
cheered the loser and gave the
winner the well-knOwn Bronx
raZz.
De Laun uncovered every trick
and hold known to wrestling and
at times made Steele appear like
a country boy lost in big city.
Yet, with all the fine work De
Laun exhibited, he overlooked the
fact that Steele is a body-Slam-
mer Of note. Promoter Turner,
however, could do no worse than
bring the two wrestling gladl-
ators together once more.

BURKE, VON ELM
DIFFER On BALL

Billy Burke, the open golf cham
pion, and George Won Elm, run
ner-up, who engage J. Monro
Hunter, sr., and George Diffen-
baugh in an 18-hole exhibition
match at the Indian Spring Club
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
have different views on the golf
ball. ~.-.
Burke, the Swinger, lines up on
the side of those few who believe
the new larger and lighter ball is
better for golf. Won Elm, the
hitter, is dead set against the new
pellet. along with something like
80 per cent of the mashie-wielderS
of the country.
The widespread comment that
is sweeping the nation over the
retention of the new ball has
moved both of the pair who
proved themselves the best in the
country, or the world, with the
new ball in open competition at
Inverness to comment upon it.
Says Burke:
II think the new ball is fine.
1t sets up in the fairway or
rough, makes a man play a
more skilled shot, offers OppOr-
tunity to use the wood clubs
more frequently and, in spite
of what 1 have heard, / do
not think that 1t is any worse
than the old ball ON the put.
ting green"
Says Won Elm:
"The new golf ball was not
needed any more than another
cup in the green. AS far as I
can see the larger and lighter
ball makes golf as easy for the
good players and twice as hard
for the average performer.
ut is too easily affected by
the wind, does not putt particu-
larly we'll, 1 think everyone has
noticed how it goes almost to
the cup and promptly stops,
and is generally less of q golf
ing joy than the old ball.
believe it takes too much skill
to play it and thus diSruptS
the ordinary players enjoyment
of the game"
Burke should like the new ball.
With his peculiar type of swing
really an adjustment of a regu-
lar swing to accommodate that left
hand that has the third finger
missing, the new ball sets up in
the fairways beautifully and that
is just what he wants.

The players were in the most
jovial mood of the present season,
which fact settles-or should set
tle-beyond all doubt any accusa-
tions of disSension.
From the start of the journey
homeward from Quakertown,
where the Griffs defeated the AS
in a pair of battles in as many
days, all concerned from Manager
Walter johnson down to Batting
Practice Pitcher Milton Pradat,
conducted themselves in a joyous
manner which lent the impress
sion they had just won worlds
championship.
"A bunch of the boys were
whOOping it up" might be the
most vivid picture of their &C.
tiOns. There was much singing,
much joking, much frOlicking
as If they were still mere kids.
Nothing wrong with that spirit,
eh?
The height of the fun-making
was the destroying of every straw
hat in the spacious car. There
was a grand rush for said hats,
and by the time the war" was
over, no player who sported one
before the trip, had his at the
end.
For a time nothing else could
be heard but the cracking of the
hats. First one would be snatched,
then another, until everybody'S
was destroyed.
Then there was the singing.
Everybody Joined in on this,
and it might be said that there
are several talented SOngsters
among the Griffmn.
Several exhibition" wrestling
matches occupied another part Of
the journey. There were sew
eral "Londos-DuSek" matches re-
enacted with Patsy Charity the
referee, while satires of several
other famous wrestling matches
were staged.
In other words, if there's any
disSension in the ranks, it Ger.
tainly has taken an odd way of
expressing itself lately.
