Dempsey' s Light Also Fading

, 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 ,,

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.

Should Be Preserved, Says
National Ass'n President
CLEEK IS HARDEST IN
GOLF BAG TO HANDLE
So Says Charlie Hoffner, Pennsylvania Open Champion,
Who Has Won National Fame Takes Shorter
Grip With Ball Close
Opposition to changes in flic play
ing ruliv propositi for action at the nn
ni'al meeting of the I'nited State Na
tional T.awn Tenuis Association, is ex
pressed by George T. 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."

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.

New Torlt, Jan. 27. 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."

"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

will make his first uppcarauee. in a uni
form of Reading and, with Ernlc Keich
