X. J. He cast his lot wijh the Sells- AFlOtto show, but rpserved the privilege to take a couple of weeks off to train i,lf, he cares to fight. This is a good move on the part of the new champion ft' because it shows he has not yet reached the money-grabbing stage. Otto Flotto, .ono of the owners of the show, is a Denver newspaperman and one of Dempsey's . best friends. It was through him that Jack signed the papers. S- $ Now that everything is over it easily can be seen that Dempsey had all ?thebctter of it in training for the championship fuss. He had nothing on his vk,minu out tiie ngnt, wonted witn only one idea in view and there was nothing , to distract him. Out at the Overland Club he was nil alone and never saw the -rft'Tuob except at the afternoon workouts. Then he was too busy to talk. Jack never left his training quarters to make social calls. He would go ftWtfor a jaunt on the road or ride around in his automobile, but that was all! AHe did not wear a white collar for a month and fonrot even to tint nt, hta He-just remained out there on Maumee bay. ate. drank nni! slenf fiirM rfyj. . -.-,., --n...., fjarid when. the time came to put on his act he was ready, mentally and physically. Willard, on the other hand, had many things to take up his time. He S4HTed several miles from, his training quarters, visited the hotels and ticket C&40',ta' things over withJthe boys and afterward rode out to the Casino woso through his daily exercise. He did not have the proper training ntriiosphere, did not take his work seriously and came to grief. He mixed 'j2 hnalnpsrf with fiehtini; and lost out. A boxer never 1ms been ahle t. .Ir. tt,;,, : Mth'4'past. t)'l Jess evidently realises he made a mistake, but will not admit it. He takes Uj blame for his defeat.

Johnny Loftus resorted to foul means when he was fearful that he would not win by fair means at the Aqueduct track yesterday, or so the stewards ruled, and as a result he must look on for two days or go fishing.

FISHER PICKS ASSISTANTS Trumbull and Coolldge to Help Coach' Harvard Football Squad Cambridge, Mass., July . S.

Trum bull was a tackle on the Crimson team nnd acted as captain ngaiust Yale in 1014. Coolidgc was left end on the 1018 team. BY JAMES S. IIEItE is renewed interest in lieavy- reiglit and light heavyweight circles. When Jack Dempsey toppled the ginnt Kansan he brought the heavyweight class back to normal. Dempsey has bppn the real giant killer. For n few seasons' there were three superheavyweights Willard, Fulton and Morris that maje life most unpleasant for the six foot. 200 pound boys. Dempsey knocked out the three hulks in less thnn seven rounds eighteen seconds for Fulton, less than three rounds for Morris and three for Willard. Now that a regulation henvyweight is in charge, the remainder of the field has become more courageous and all seem willing to engage the new king. After Knockout Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh mauler, is the latest. Oreb's recent conquests have been nt the expense of Mike Gib bons, Hilly Miske, Bill Breuuau and Willie Median. He bus been an un questioned winner over these four. Miske twice fought Denpsey, stay in',' the limit in a ten-round session in St. Paul and in a six-round fray at the Olympia. Brennan gave Dempsey the hardest fight he ever had for six rounds a year ago. He injured his leg and had to quit. IJempsey's two greatest feats pre vious to beating Willard were in stop ping Fred Fulton and Battling Le vilisky. Greb After LevinsUy Harry Greb mcts Battling Le vinsky in one of the all-star bouts at Shibe, Park next Monday night. If CAROLAN Greb manages to stop Levinsky he will be within range of n meeting with the new heavyweight champion.

It is the Lew Tend-ler-.Toc Welling affair. If Tendler knocks out Welling, nnd it Is not un likely, he must be given recognition by Leonard.

All doubt con cerning the number of knockdowns Jack Dempsey scored in the first round of his heavyweight championship contest with Jess Willard July 4 was removed today when motion pictures, exhibited privately to Promoter Tex Bicknrd nnd n party of friends, revealed that the dethroned champion was sent to the canvas seven times. There were no knockdowns In the re maining two rounds, but Willurd prob ably would hnve been floored If the ropes of the ring had not supported him. Dempsey, the pictures revealed, floored Wiilard with left hooks to the chin for the first four knockdowns. lie upset the defeated champion for the other three knockdowns with right nnd left swings. The first blow thnt upset Willard was ahort right swing to the. heart,, followed by a left hook to the chin.

The Tiger Upheaval rpHOSE who have ojerlookcd the full value of pitching might observe th - case of Mr. Jennings's Detroit Tigers. For a number of years this club has collected more precious tallies than any rival. But fhe collection went to seed through minor-league pitching. This season the club looked worse than ever. It floundered .away to a bad start and continued skidding for quite a spell, despite the offensive prevalence of Cobb, Veach, Heilman and others able to wallop the whey out of the ball. And then something happened. About three weeks ago a miraculous change came over the pitching staff. Even with Cobb's big bat outside the fojd the club began to win. Within three weeks the Tigers came from tail-end contenders to a place back in the sun. And the people who hauled them out and put them there, in the main, used their right and left arms for this purpose. Good pitching put heart and soul back in the club where none had existed, THE clammy athlete poised in the rifle pit is the best morale maker or breaker on the team. Now and always. A NOTHEIl fine morale maker is the ability to hole a number of ten-foot A putts. The same Is also a fine morale breaker for the other party. A Chance for Fame "I'm the man that broke the bank at Monte Carlo" ' ' Is the title of a song that jumped the rut; But an even greater king is the fellow who could sing "I'm the man that taught Chick Evans how to putt." . . , A PUNCH In either mitt is a valuable asset, but 100 yards in ten seconds is not to be despised. mHEBE are still a number of old-fashioned Cincinnati rooters who, after 1 looking at the standing of the clubs and the percentages thereof, refuse to believe this isn't the middle of May. TT ISN'T so hard to keep your eye on the ball when you have a pretty safe hunch that it is going straight down the middle.
