Alt of Tx- n t h make it KO-.iA on eon-l

dition and it's so-so as regards slie, bulk, age and experience. But there the equal ends. Dempsey la the uper slugger of the sge. There was another like him. Miske. in contrast, is a notoriously weak hitter, a warrior who has failed repeatedly to (rtow away men whose jaws and whose bodies bad only half the resisting powar of the "Tiger or th prize ring." If the fight ever resolves Itself into a slugging- match if Miske attempts to stand toe-to-toe with Dempsey It means the beginning ft the end of Miske's championship dream. Mlske's long forte is boxing and he's a marvel in that particular line. But marvelou as he is. It wouldn't b at all surprising, if Dempsey, electing to meet him at his own game, actually oat-boxed him. For Dempsey tor'ay is faster than the St. Paul whirl rind and all the while will be packing the power that can make one of h'5 jabs equal to the knockout force r.t the other man's haymaker. Miske can take a beating and come back for more. If It wasn't for that the prediction would be a knockout victory for Dempsey before the first cession of the fighting has been done. Dempsey may elect to box it with Miske for a while but that's not likely. Dempsey knows that he can win if be can bit aolidly a few times, and victory is his aim. Why then should be play the other man s game, even though he may be superior at it when he can play his own game that rarely has tailed him In the last three vears and never in a crucial effort.

This new wonder broke his own world's record when he hurt P new one t the Olympie games, hurling himself over the- bar at the height of 13 feet 5 3-16 inches. From the time he "taken off at the end of his run until he lands in the pit beyond the bar after soaring through the air in an arc at the end of his pole he has done a fair job of flying. Foss is a former Cornell student.

By H. C. HAMILTON FSTAff COPKISPONDENT I N SiVICEJ NEW YORK, Sept. 4. Ki'i Gleason. who lat season led the Chicago White Sox to a championship of the American league. is beginning to believe in Jinxes if he never did before. He has declined to predict that the White Sox will win the pennant. Asked when here what he thought of his team's chances to figure again in a vvorld series, he declared he had nothing to say. except that Tie has a good baseball club, one that will fight hard. "You can't interview me on a pennant." he asserted. However. I learned from members of the White Sox that they and Gleason believe that the switch which sent Ted Jourdan to the bench and placed John Collins, formerly an outfielder, at first base supplied the punch and infield work which shot the White Sox out in front during their recent road trip. If the fox win again thi year they will be ready to give a vote of thanks to Collins. Jourdan. a recent addition to the ranks of the Sox. is a remarkably fine fielder, but his hittins was very weak. Collins hitting and speed on the bases are the things which make his presence as: a regular desirable.
