Dempsey, a long, tall guy who looks
like Abraham Lincoln without whis-
kers. said. Jacks got his mitts up
again and God Pity the Japs.'
Joe Dempsey. older brother OF the
famous Manassa Mauler, Jack, con-
tinued. ever since Jack put on that
Coast Guard uniform, he's been
lust like he was when he was kid
when he used TO square off and
put up his fists.
7 never could understand what
happened to Jack when he squared
off. He was a different feller en-
tirely. even when a boy. Take him
at home-at the supper table-any
of us always could win an argu-
ment with him. And if there was
a free-for- all on the street, Jack
never wanted any part OF it. But
when he squared off against one
man-even me, his brother-he was
terribly heavy-handed. l mean those
biz fists of his were like sledge
hammers. Once he hit me on the
side of the jaw so hard, my jaw
swelled up like I was chewin a
whole wad of tobaccer.'
MOUNTAIN CAMP
Gangling Joe Dempsey was born
in Manassa, Colo, the same noun
tain camp in which the great Jack
Dempsey first started throwing
around his fists in his cradle, but
brother Joe talks-and loOks-like
West Virginia Hill Billy-becauSe
his father came from those noun
tains-and peaceful Joe picked up
all the mannerisms of his dad, who
in his youth was a fiddler at square
dances.
We met Long Joe at Dcmpseys
Tavern, where We went TO meet
Lieutenant Jack, on overnight leave
from the Coast Guard. Tall Joe is
running the Tavern while the for
mer heavyweight champion is in
service.
BE careful how you talk TO Jack,
row, because he's really got his
fists up" Joe cautioned, "and he's
heavy handed in the war"
Brother Joe was right, because
the Jack Dempsey of today is far
different from the pre-Pearl Har-
Dor Jack. Dempsey, in his Coast
Guard uniform - senior lieutenant

CARDINALS STILL 81 GAMES BEHIND
DODGERS ASB0TH COP TIGHT WINS

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 - (UP) =
The hot-footed st. Louis Cardinals
hung on grimly today 3la games
behind the National Leagues pace
setting Dodgers with a string of
six straight victories.
The Cards had to drive uphill
all the way to defeat Al Javery
and the Boston Braves, 4-3, last
night, thanks to strong armed
Mort Coopers nine-hit pitching
and fiery Jimmy Browns clutch
hitting, and the Dodgers failed to
gain ground with their Az triumph
over the Pirates.
Cooper won his 18th victory and
helped produce the deciding run
in the eighth, Johnny Hopp opened
the rally with single off Javery,
who gave up 13 blows and lost his
first game in seven starts. Hopp
moved up on a sacrifice and reach
ed third on Martin Marion's single.
Cooper beat out a hit, filling the
bases and keeping the rally alive.
Brown then came through with a
long fly driving Hopp home with
the deciding tally.
1ST WIN OVER BUGS
Kirby Higbe won from his Pi-
rates for the first time in his
career and notched his 14th vic
tory, holding the Bucs to five hits.
The Dodgers found Bob Klinger
for single runs in the third, fourth
and fifth innings on seven solid
hits and then added another off
Aldon Wilkie in the sixth.
Dolph Camillis double and Billy
Herman's single gave them their
first run in the third. In the fourth
Dixie Walkers single, Arky Waugh
ans infield out and Augie Galan's
Single added another Walker
doubled and Vaughan singled for
one more in the fifth and the
fourth came on a walk, single, and
PeeWee Reese's fly.
Frank Mccormick paced the
Reds to their fifth straight win,
4-3 in II innings over the Phis,
who were charged with their eighth
successive loss. Mccormick drove in
three runs, the first on a double
in the fourth, another with a sin
gle in the ninth TO send the game
into overtime and the third in the
11th. with drive against the lett
field wall with loaded bases. Max
Marshall opened the 18th for the
Reds with triple and two inten-
tional walks and set the stage for
Mccormick, who connected on the
first pitch.
FIVE ERRORS
Chicago's Cubs committed five err
rors but made IL hits off four pit
chers good for a 1915 triumph over
the Giants. The New Workers col
lected 13 hits off Claude Passeau,
VIII owon his 18th victory, but were
able to score in only three innings
as Chicago kayoed two pitchers with
a six-run burst in the sixth.
In the only American League
game played, the Senators edged
the Indians, 4-3, in 10 innings. Alex
Carrasquel went the route for the
Senators and allowed Mrs hits for

WEIGHT-FOR WEIGHT

This later weight for weight
fighting is important because it
accustons a man TO react properly
when hit on the nose or in the
belly. You can't become a fighter
without practice, any more than
you can play a piano or typewrite
without training. Nobody actually
gets hurt, but the nervous system
becomes accustomed to violent body
contact.
Two things have amazed me
about the men l have instructed in
boxing First, virtually none of them
knows how to fight with their fists
I even have TO tell most OF them
to hit with their Knuckles, and show
them how. Secondly, they catch onto
the fighting business so quickly,
that I'm convinced that Americans
are the most natural-born fighters
in the world. Instructors in the other
arts-wresling and. jiu-jitsu tell me
the same thing"
4 don't believe I'll be censored for
saying this" re added, but the
public has the wrong impression of
the Coast Guard. 1t believes the
guard is being groomed only to pro-
tect American ports and American
shores. That's all wrong Already
the Coast Guard is fighting on prac-
tically every front in the war where
there are ships and shores. The
Coast Guarders are fighting along
with the Marines and Sailors. Our
boys are the toughest fellows youn
lind on any water front from France
TO the Solomon Islands"

Day speech likened the increased
cost Of living to an enemy inyas-
ion, and said his efforts were di-
rected to "avert disaster which
would interfere with the winning
of the war;
What are the facts back Of this,
statement?
The Office of War Information
this week rounded up the facts of
the "invasion" an invasion which
has already penetrated nearly
every wage-earner's luneh-box. and
every workers kitchen.
Most striking fact reported by
OWL:
In two months after May Is,
1912, when the OPA General Max
mum Price Order went into eff
feet, the prices Of food subject to
control fell ITO Of enc percent. In
the same period the prices OF I'M
controlled foods because Of the pro
hibition in the farm price section
of the Price Control Actl went up
7.3 percent.
These uncontrolled food prices
have been going up since at the
rate of 81 percent a month--ln
a year, this would amount TO an
increase of 80 percent.
Going hack further:
The food for which the average
family paid 81 in the summer oil
1889 cost Sill in the spring OF
l94l, $3.50 in the spring OF 1912
and $1.35 today.
From May to- August this year,
steak and pork chops (under con-
troD dropped slightly, whereas
uncontrolled lamb went up more
than 10 percent and chicken jump
ed by is percent.
Oranges (uncOntrolled) went up
more than 25 percent, while can
ned tomatoes, under control, de-
clined by 3 percent.
Government economists point out
that these uncontrolled food prices
