Jack Hits So Hard With Left Hand That He Sprains
Right Ankle and Immediately Con
cludes He Needs a "Rest"
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Sport Kdttor I'ventim 1'ubiic I.eelKer
"NCE upon a tlmo the famous Kid McCoy was boxinc n Mift mark In
'-' Chicago, lie turned his head carelessly to count tlio cash customers,
when bloolel Tho soft mark lifted a rlcht swing from the floor and
soaked McCoy flush on the Jaw. Tho Kid flopped like a loose bale of hay,
lost all interest In tho cash customers and everything else and was offi
cially counted out. This K. O. Mas a blK sensation, but McCoy had nn
alibi ready before he left the ring, lie said ho hnd been too curious and
would pay more attention to business In tho future.
Every boxer of prominence must have a bis stack of e.cutes on hand
to be used at the slightest provocation or he Is not a boxer of prominence.
That stuff Is necessary In the boxing game, and Jack Dcmpscy Is qualifying
for a position In the spotlight. Dcmpscy, who has been knocking 'em off
their seats with his theatrical troupo and knocking 'cm stiff In tho roped
arena, has decided to lay off the rest of this week to rccoer from an Injury
received on Wednesday night.
According to a dispatch from Reading, I'n., Dcmpscy sprained his ankle
when he knocked out Kid Harris In one round. "Dempsey, In his bout with
Kid Harris, of Washington, who tried to last tlirco rounds and collect the
$1000 offered," reads tho dispatch, "landed a left swing which put Harris
out In the first round. In doing this Jack sprained his right ankle, and It
was announced that Dempsey would lot appear In sparring exhibitions
until next Monday."
Nothing was raid of tho condition of Kid Harris, who was tho Inno
cent cause of it all. He must bo In bad shape, for if Dempsey hits such a
hard blow with his left that ho sprains his right ankle, llarils must re
semble the remnants of the German army.
"Pretty good stuff," said ono of the visitors this morning. "I wonder
if Dempsey sprained his ankle or fractured Kearns's bankroll? 1 hae
heard the boys are not collecting heavily on the tour through tho State.
Anyway, it's a great alibi."
SPK.ltXED ankles have figund before in ring hattlcs. Hcnnu
Leonard hit rhil Bloom on the jaw in Pittsburgh and 1'hil had
to Quit because of a sprained ankle. Dcmpscy soaked Bill Brcnnan
on the cAIn, and Brcnnan, too, sprained his ankle. It's a great
alibi and tec arc glad to get a new version.
This Time Nich Hayes Forgot an Alibi

sJ the white hope tournament put on by Jack McGuigan back In 1911?
I put In a big sap named Bill Cass against Carl Morris, and believe me,
it was some Job to get that bimbo to tight.
"In the N.-st place he was no tighter, but took my word for It when I
said he was. Ho stood six feet sK Inches in height, weighed about 210

pounds and knew as much about the art of se'f-defcnse as William Jennings
Tlryan. Ho came here to make his fortune, and gae up an casj Job firing
on a southern railroad because the hours were too long. I grabbed him
while he was looking at the tall buildings, and told him he was the man to
bring back the title to the white race, if he'd only so in and knock off a
few bums who claimed they were heuv weights.
"I groomed him like a icgular chambion, matched him with cierj
body, but never allowed him to show what a tramp ho was in actual battle.
I remember ono night when I got a. guy to do the high dle In tho first
round, but called it off because ! thought the diver would hit Hass by
mistake and knock him simple. I made the excuse that the gloves were
too small and bare-knucklo rights were not allowed. I had the date with
Morris at the National and couldn't take any chances.
"I had the hardest time in the world to get Bass in the ring that night.
He had more alibis than old man All Bl himself, and oven fainted a couple
of times to make it good, I told him he was taking no chances, because
Morris was a union man. Bass was, a union man and It was against tho
rules of the brotherhood for members, to hurt one another. That was good
enough to get him into the ring, hut my troubles were not over.
"Bass looked ocr at Morris in his corner, and when ho saw that
scowling face he aid:
" 'Don't you think we could postpone this little affair until next Wednes
daj ? I'm not feelln' any too well and a icst will do mo good."
"Don't worry," I sajs. "Tho works In in and Morris can't hurt jou,
because ou and him belongs to the tamo union. .lust waits rK rounds,
that's all; Just waltz.' All I wanted to tlo wa3 to keep him kidded until
the bell rang. After that, I should worrj.

stuff. That might hnic been good enounh for a return match."

RAIN WON'T HALT
MACK'S TRAINING
Connie Says Pitchers Will
Drill in Upper Pavilion
in Bad Weather
NOT TO CHANGE PLANS
Tho Athletic? will not tako their usual
Jaunt below the Mason-Dlxon Lino to
Indulge In their spring training. That
much has been decided upon by the club
otliclaN anil no matter what tho other
members of the major leaguo do In this
lino the Mackmen and other future
greats will get In condition right hem
In this town, ut Twenty-first street and
Lehigh avenue.
Oonnio Stack has devoted much of his
sparo tlmo to this spring-training prob
lem and the tall tutor and what.not be
lieves ho has reached a satisfactory
answer No matter If tho rain drops
descend, ns they usually like to do In
Apt I!, the) Mackmen will continue to
drill. In the rain? No, not exactly!
Listen to what Manager Mack has to
say on tho subject:
"We haw facilities few clubs have for
training. liven on rainy days or nt
times when the Held Is too muddy for
vvoik, my pitchers can limber up In
the long, wide aisle In the upper pa
vilion that leads to the seats.
"Thero Is lots of room In this aisle,
and twenty pitchers can work ther
without difficulty. It is just as light
thero ns 011 the plaIng Held, and th
Plaers will get plenty of puro air.
It will be just like working outdoors,
only 011 a thy suifacc with shelter over
head. "My men will get together mound
Apt II 1 and will bo In good condition
when It is time to open the spring se
ilts '
