Dempsey' s Light Also Fading By HOBEKT V. MAXM'BLli i Spnrta liilltor, Uirnliic Vubllc Ledner Copyright, 1920, by Public Ledger Co. , fpHB popular hero ban bocnmc mi institution in the T'nited States. Some- body roust be worshiped by the mob; some person, whatever be the nature of his prowess, rauKt cause the congregated thousands, to gulp in the throat, which is the prelude to enthusiastic tears, and then give vent to their feelings by jelling their heath off with reckless abandon. Carlyle tells us . that hero worship is a fundamental Instinct of the human mind, which proves the famous essayist and philosopher was not talking out of turn. The mul- ' ;Utud,alw3)s has somebody to adore; for nothing pulls one out of one's self- conscious (.hell more than en opportunity to worship some big persou who does something much better than the same thing could be done by ouesnlf or by anybody else. The almost tragic need for heroes these das makes it possible for base ball, football, boxing, golf, tennis, billiards and nil other forms of sport to enjoy wonderful popularitj . Sonic one always is pulled out of the ranks and placed on u pedestal, whether it be for two minutes or two years. But hero worshipers are tickle; they arc ready to pay homage at a new shrine at the slightest opportunity. Their memories arc short they obliterate the past nd bask only in the sunlight of the present. Some of the old boys still linger in the memories of the fans for a time, but tliey pass out of the pietfire, one by one and into the darkuess. How many of the younger generation remember f.'y Young? Cy hasn't been out of baseball very long, but so many modern heroes have appeared since thou that he has been pushed out of the procession. And the same goes for hundreds uf others. They never ask. "DID you bai;it," but "HAVE you GOT it?" Just as soon as a hero starts on the downgrade, a frantic search is made for a successor. Somcbotiy has to take his place aud it doesu't take long to find one. As a modern example, take Tyrus Raymond Cobb, for jcars the out tanding star in baseball. lie has thrilled hundreds of thousands with his terri fic clouting, his daring baserunning and sensational fielding. His name has been a magnet which drew thousands of dollars to the ball parks and he made a record on the diamond which probably never will be equaled. He remained In the spotlight many jeurs, and although he still retains his batting eye aud his speed, the fans figure he has seen his day and are eagerly awaiting the coronation of his successor. HrtlKY are flocking to the colors o; ISabe Ruth, the $125,000 slugger who busted his way info popularity Kith his war club and a record of twenty-nine home rutin for one season. Then arc ready to cheer the lusty wallops which send the ball out of the ball park instead of the scientific batting which made Cobb the greatest hitter of all time. No Less of Cobb, but More of Ruth TT surely looks as if Cobb will play second fiddle this coming season. The man who for fourteen years has not hit under .820 will make way for a youngster who has taken the public's fancy. Still, it will be a hard job to fill the shoes vacated by Tyrus. He still is a wonderful drawing card and every time he appears, you feel joii have received full value for jour money. He alwajs is doing something and his work attracts so much attention that even a stranger who never has heard of him will pick him out as an unusual player. He has personality, which sticks out all over him. He waves to the bleachers, talks back to them, makes sensational catches, follows with wonder ful throws, making all chances look easy. When he hits the ball, his speed make-. It possible for him to convert an ordinary infield out into a hit and afttr he gets on base, he steals everything but the uniforms of the opposing i, flayers. A single usually send.-, him from first to third and sometimes he pulls the unexpected by scoring. The opponents are nervous every time he gels on base, and the spectators enjoy pleasa-.t thrills when he goes on a rampage. Ty is in a class by himself, but the faur, fear he has seen his best days. He is the oldest player in the American League at point of service, having been playing constantly since the season of lf)0."r. This jear will make hi sixteenth in the league. And nqw along comes Ruth. He has been featured so much in the news papers in the last two years and commauded such a big purchase price, that fans cannot help but believe he is good. The Babe is a natural slugger a player who depends upon the bludgeon instead of the rapier. His long hits have aroused the populace of eight American League cities and he gradually has worked his way to the pinnacle of public esteem. He will be popular with the masses if he continues in his winning stride, and receives the publicity a $20,000 contract calls for. . JJOWEVUR, Tyrus Cobb will not relinquish the crown without a " struggle, lie will be back again this season, draw ttown that salary which is said to be $22,500 and continue to hand out thrills to the customers: Cobb and Ruth will make things interesting in the American League. Dempsey s Popularity Fading A NOTHER hero to fall is Jack Dexnpscy, heavyweight ehampion of the " world. After bis short but decisive victory over Jess Willard, Dempsey was popular everywhere, but of late he seems to have lost some of that popu larity. His war record has been attacked and because he left everything in the hands of his manager, the weak explanations by that person only made matters worse. We hold no brief for Dempsey. He left himself open for these attacks and mustlsuffer the consequence. Still, those who know the champion inti mately cam;ot help but pity him. Jack is an easy-going, generous, whole oulcd boy, alwaja ready to help a friend, and is so unsuspectiug that lie Jcilntimes blindly follows advice. It is said his affairs during the war were l-.ntidied by Jack Kearns and Kearns certainly messed things up. This is no cfense for Dempsey. He is in a rather shaky position now , but he can look tm t and blame most of it on his manager. Kearns is the business head of the firm. He writes all letters, makes all matches, sees ull visitors aud outlines the policy to be followed. When Dempsey was here, all of his mail passed through Keayns's hands, and after Jt had been read, was patsed to the champion. Dempsey placed himself in &ttie hands of his manager and that loose method of doing business has knorki.,1 ni out of a nice soft hero's job. Few know how closely Kearns watches his man. Once Demnsev mnt ,, National to attend a boxing show and received a severe calldou n for doing ivearns i-naii'uurn nam mo iiuuiir atmuiu pay 10 set- tile cnampion and gs like that would bring no money into the treasun. Another tim h.. it on a boat trip with Jimmy Doughertj and another argument resulted. lhTVR wtnmng the championship, Dempsty wanted to fight all ii-omerj; but his manager preferred the stage. After that came the movies and at present he m working in a picture in Lot Annrlei Judging from public opinion, that picture will not amount to much.

Adee, the asso ciation's president. While he doubts the wisdom of some of thf change themselves, his principal objection i based upon hii belief that such changes should be' made only after confutation with the other tennis playing coun tiies of the world. So far us- the rules are concerned. the principal objections relate to the new fuot-fnult rule. s(.(iviug system and method of pouductinz haudicaii eieuN. The views of Mr. Ailef are set forth in a letter to 1'aul Ii. Williams, tield secretary of the national association. Sir. Adee's letter follows: "1 regret that Jue M iny absence iu the west, T was unable' to be present at the last meeting of the executive committee of the l S. N. 1.. T. V.. and I regret that I did not know be fi'iehuud tli.it the proposed changes iu scoring and handicapping and iu the foot-fault rule, were to be considered. "I feel very strongly that these changes iu the rules should not be adopted. "Xlic game has always been played under the present system of scoring, which li knowu aud understood the world over. In the present system there is a distinct difference between tlie point score of each game und the score of the games of each set, so there is no possible chance of u misiindev staudiug. In the proposed system the scoring of points anil of games is ex actly the same, with the consequent chance of a mix-up. is necessary. "The proposed handicapniug villi would change the principle of handicap matches from the winning of sets to the winning of points. It would be impos sible to tell who is ahead until the match is over. A pencil and paper would probably be needed to keep track of the points made by each player in r.Mnli rump, nnri the winner would not be decided until the total number of points made by .each contestant is fig ured out and the handicaps added. If the total points of each contestant are the same after the haudicaps arc added it is a tie. "1 cHunot see what we arc to gain by making these changes, and I do be lieve we make a mistake iu reversing our policy of years' standing, by making our rules different from the uniform playing rules of the rest of the world." 6 . M fi EH .rJBt By SANDY KKK is the hardest club iu the bag to play." Charlie HolTncr, Pennsyl vania open golf champion, pulled one of his shiny clubs out of his kit the other day at Philmont, where he is the pro. Pressing forward we discovered that the club was a cleek. Hoffner is a homebred pro. a thor ough student of the game. und. despite his imputative jnuth, is one of the best playing pros in the game. He only needed a 7.'i to cop oft' the open cham pionship of the Tinted States during the last season, after he had beeu out front in the opening rounds. First ol nil, Hoffner described his grip as shown in the circle. "I use the ordinary Vardon grip." explained (lie homebred, "except that I have the index linger tip of the right hand pushed against the bottom of the shaft insliiid of around. The grip of the left hand is the (inner of the two. although the right hand does most of the hittiug aud gets the clubheatl through, while the left arm pulls through with ull its strength." This is well shown in figure ii, which is the position just at the impact witu the ball. Hoffner then showed that a short grip was preferable, as the weight was evenly balanced and distributed to bet ter advantage thau was the grip at the extreme top of the shaft. "This may lose a little distance for the play.T," said Hoffner. "but the club is much easier to control. Direc tion and control are the prime necessi ties, anyhow. The grip should be firm in the lingers, hut not so tight that it would cause the wrists to become rigid." Hoffner explained that his stance for the cleek was almost the same as for his wooden clubs, slightly open, ex cepting thai the ball was closer to him and his feet were a little closer to gether. Hut the pro admitted thnt there was no hard and fust rule,, for the stance varies to suit the shot. "My right foot." continued the pro expert, "is slightly advanced and the knees are slightlv bent. This Is im portant, for the position must not be cramped, as stiffening the knees causes me to hit too mueh with my body und not with my urius. The weight is McNIBLICK equally distributed, the feet very firm on the ground. The pressure of the right leg is on the inside of the foot. This helps ine to keep my body in pd sition and prevents swaying." Hoffner said that the reason the cleek shot w-as so hard was thnt there must be flexibility with it, but not the slightest trace of looseness. "Particular care," explained the pro, "must be made to bring the club down from the top of the Bvving smartly, with a firm grip of both hands, trying to combine firmness with flexibility. Persistent practice has strencthened mv wrists. I find, and the only royal road to proficiency is practice. That holds for all clubs." Hoffner summed it all up in short hints a slightly shorter grip with ball a little closer than drive right foot up slightly firm "grip and the combina tion of lirmuess with flexibility which is the whole heart of the shot.

When the Na tional Commission is reorganized at the joint meeting of the major leagues in Chicago on February 'll, an effort will probably be made by the ball players to gain recognition and a place on baseball's highest body. From the time the National Commission 'was first formed, the player has had no voice in the government of the game. The plan now on foot is to have a commis sion made up of five member, a neu tral chairman, the presidents of the two major leagues, n baseball player and a representative of the minor leagues. This radical, plan is a revival of the rcheme 'which the Players' Frnter nity wanted to introduce several years ago. At that time, the jilan was frowned on by the major leagues and It is expected that the suggestion will meet with opposition if the players carry out tneir plan anu Introduce it at Chicpgo. "This suggestion to give the baseball player representation on the National Commission," said n veteran baseball man yesterday, "fs not a new idea. Baseball players have always wanted such an arrangement. The player con siders that he is at least 50 per cent of the game and yet the sport is con ducted and his affairs uro tried and settled without giving him a chance to vote on matters which vitally con cern his welfare. "When the Players,' Fraternity, of which Dave Fultz was president, put fortn player repiesentntlon as one of the planus ot its piatiorm, the club owners of organized ball put up a great cry and howled that the players wen- trying to run tho game. All they asked for was one representative ou the commission to present their side of the various controversies which are constantly arising." New Pacific International League Tacoma. Wash..

PLAY BEARS TONIGHT "riRANI?: BIlUGGr, the star guard of the Gcrmantown five, has a clear lead for scoring honors In the Eastern Bas ketball League.' The big fellow has played in four games and dropped in seventeen baskets from the field for an average of 4.25 per game, which If con tinued would establish a record. As n foul tosser he is also among tho leaders, add all told has compiled 47 points. His nearest rival is Johnny Beck man, but Johnny has been in one game less. Then come three players Tn a row, Campbell, Ileich and Leonard. They have been in three, four and five games respectively.
