Secret of Jack Dempsey's Success Is Short, Hard, Put-to-Sleep Punch Since Jack Dempsey began punch ing out heavyweight aspirants, the manner In which'he does It has been a source of discussion by the spefrts of the game. On the subject of those who gained fame as wallopers In the days gone by Otto Floto, the well-known Denver writer, talks in terestingly. Dempsey's quick knockout of Rat tling Levinsky is what started the veteran Floto on his reminiscences. I"t wasn't so much ttyfe quickness with which Dempsey turned the trick, but the short route the blow travel ed to put the clever Hebrew out of the way. All great fighters, Floto says, employed the same punch as does Dempsey to-day. -ilt seems when a lighter has a kick -behind his jolt it need travel only a few inches to deliver the goods," says Floto. ' "We could glance back and call to mind many lighters of the past who were pro ficient in producing this short cir- ■ cuit. "To my mind Peter Maher could deliver a blow with more power be hind it than any other man who ever wore the gloves. I have seen Peter knock out opponents when his tist seemed to travel but a fraction of an inch. It was more like a twist of the wrist. 1 recall his bout with Nick Burley and Tom Johnson in the old Grand Opera House in Mis sion street, San Francisco. Peter kayoed beffh these tough babies in half a round, and it seemed as though his list went but a fraction of an inch," yet the terrific Jolt it contained stretched both them prone on the rosined canvass, apparent ly lifeless. I saw him with the same punch knock all the front teeth out of ike's mouth, and sending hint headlong under the ropes of the stage. I have always maintained i this to be the hardest blow I ever saw struck by any fighter living— or dead. 'I saw Maher in New Orleans hit Fitzsiinmons with the same short punch and hung Bob over the top rope as cold as any tighter ever was. Joe Choyniski reached over, pulled the bell cord and then jumped, into the ring and carried Fits to his corner, while Alec Greggains pull ed off Fltz's glove and pushed the blade of a penknife under his thumb to bring him back to consciousness again. It look the whole minute's work between the rounds to push Fitz out of his chair toward Maher ugain. If Peter Maher had possessed Juck Dempsey's heart he would have been the grcutest heavyweight champion the ring ever boasted. "Then, there was Fitz, another great champion and with a cham pion's punch. You who ever watch ed him battle recall that famous 'shift,' which proved the undoing of so many of his opponents. Many thought Fitz employed any sort of swinging blow to make his connec tion. True, he varied its delivery. When in close he would shift and then upporcut an opponent and when at arm's length he would let it go with a sort of stiff rm movement in which he threw his whole body in rigid fashion after the punch. But it always spelled curtains when it landed on the dock for which Ruby Robert headed it. "Joe Gans l a past master and the Ole Murster' as he was deservedly called, knew the value of a punch that did not spend its force while traveling. All his great battles | were won by this same short jolt, which seemed to be of sufficient vigor against all opponents, except ing Buttling Nelson. The Durable Dane could always assimilate an overdose of punishment. "Stanley Kelehel, another great! puncher, always sent his right hand , across straight, while his left,, when; not jabbing an opponent, came in ! a sort of semicircle fashion to de- j posit the object it came in contact; with on the tloor. Believe us, this ] same S. Ketcliel could, send them \ home labeled 'tobasco,' and what a ; lion's heart he possessed along with his other great lighting qualifica- | Hons!

Then, too, he perfected a punch which he called 'the corkscrew,' and whenever he sent it home—well, pity day rolled around. We see him now tumbling Tom Sharkey all over the ring with those punches at the old Lenox Club in New York. The efforts, however, tired the Kid, and Sharkey came from behind and won, as we say on the race track. Benny Leonard and Jack Dempsey have this little jolt down almost to perfection.

Carney "TrapshAotlnß the Patriotic Sport," is th title of a book Just off the presses of tfid Sportsman's Re view Company and written by Da vid 11. Eaton, of Cincinnati, Ohio. This is the first book published about trapshooting. Consequently there is a lot in the book to interest those who have been shooting at the traps or in the field. While the boott is not as complete as Mr. Eaton wish ed it, is is as good as he could turn out with the material he was able to gather. It fills a' long-felt want in trapdom. Eaton delves into the manufac ture of the various kinds of traps and balls, Includes some sketches of past-day shooters, and brings the book and the sport dowit to the pres ent time. This book should pave the way for many interesting pamphlets on this fascinating sport. More TrnpsluMting Schools The success of the trapshooting school on the Million Dollar Pier, At lantic City, N. J , may prompt the Intestate Trapshooting Association to open other trap&hootlng schools in different sections of the United States andiCanada': Thousands of conerts have been made to trapshooting at the Atlantic City school, and the belief is that with" schools at the leading seaside and mountain resorts thousands of new tiijpshooters • jwouid be made each year.

Up to tin* Ivenders Trapshooting was the last sport to be hit by the war—and it got a lot of severe knocks a nionth or so' before the armistice was signed. Conditions are now righting themselves, and if the of the Interstate Trapshooting Association doesn't lose too much time in getting out its plans for 1919 the year we are coming to should be one of the best trapshoot ing has ever htd.

WAR BLOCKS THE BIG YACHT RACE New York Club Will Accept Challenge in 1920, Reply to Sir Thomas Lipton By Associated Press Now York, Dec. 20.—The New York Yacht Club decided at a meet ing to-night to decline the challenge of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club for a race for America's cup in 1919, but announced that if the challenge was renewed for 1920 it would bo ac cepted. In replying to the challenge the following was cabled to Secretary H. L Garrett, of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, Belfast, Ireland, by G. A. Cor rr.ack, secretary of the New York Club. 'The challenge, cf winch you noti fied us by cabla, for r series of races in September, 1913, reached us yes terday, December 18lh. While we fully appreciate its cordial and friendly expressions, we must frank ly say to you that the members of the New .York Yacht Club are strongly of tnc opinion that, with peace not yet concluded, with a long list of casualties still to be reported, with returning transports bringing home our wounded, and with conditions unsettled as they are, this is not an appropriate or fitting time for us to urrai)ge for a purely sporting event of such importance as a match for tho America's cup. Accordingly it seems best that we suggest to you that the challenge be withdrawn. If at some future date, when there is no question on either side as to the propriety, you \vi3h to challenge with Shamrock IV for a race in 1929, wo shall accept the challenge to be de fended by one of the boats which we built in 1914 for that purpose.

Baseball Dicker Gives Yankees Three Famous Boston Players The first of many dickers in blg loague baseball was negotiated in New York yesterday when the Yankees procured Outfielder Georgu (Duffy) Lewis and Pitchers Ernie Shore and Hubert (Dutch) Leonard from the Boston Red Sox In exchange for Pitchers Ray Caldwell and Ed ward (Slim) Love. Catcher Albert Walters, Outfielder Frank Gllhooley and a cash consideration. The chock was said to be for $15,000. "Dutch" Leonard intimated to-day that unless he gets part of the pur chase price he will not report to the Yankees. "If New York had to add some cash," Leonard said, "I want part of the purchase money, and Now York will have to pay me a nice fat salary or I will not Join the Yankees." Leonard is In Cleveland with his wife, who is playing at a local thea ter. The deal pleased Miller liugglns. Says he: "We got three star players froifr the Boston club, all of whom have proved over a stretch of years that they rank with the best .n >he game. With Shore, Fisher, Khewke.y, Schneider and Qulnn, right banders, and Leonard, Mogridge and Thor mahler, left handers, we should have one of the greatest pitching staffs in baseball.
