ljreyfuss almost jumped off the dock when he learned the jouth intended to
Jump the league. Southworth was given a big increase in salary when lie
signed the 1010 papers and started to play left field when the season started.
Then came the big surprise. The leading sunk artist of lfl1S acted like
n blind man at the plate and vvno canned after compiling the heavy average
of .071. Imagine u guy like that making only one hit out of fourteen times
Ht bat! There was only one thing for Hugo Uezdelt to do, and lie did it. The

IN THII meanwhile a vast number of words will be emplojed to show whether
the twelve-round distance will favor Wiliard or Dempsey.
It has been argued that Wiliard is n slow starter nnd that Dempsey may
pile up n big lead over tlie shorter 'mute before the champion gets going. On
lie other side of the partition it may be argued that Wiliard is no longer teem
ing with jouth, nnd that the jnunger Dempsey would hnve u far better chance
wearing the older man down us Wiliard did Johnson before planting the
knockout.
These details can be argued back und forth until the debaters arc blue
around the gills, without arriving tit it deliuitu conclusion. You can take' your
pick in advance.
POll both men have iupporlers who ate confident their entry will
paddle the pudding out of the other fellow before the twelfth
stanza is ever i cached.
