And now Willi M:skeS name auuei at last to tho list of t'u;i'Sfy it :1ms what man lives who tan be colli ede.i a chance against tho super-fighter of pugilism; what man rights today who can tst Dempsey to the utmost of Us pewfrs ? What man can test, tiio cuurags of Dempsey by beating him and e nia&hip him? What mau tan fjrte him to iash out with all tho misht thut is in his lutndd and arms: powr which far lias never ti--n fully Pipped, I'tmpsey truthful. y 'I've hit a lot of hard Plows in my caietr, but I have never hit uu is.au -.vi h that smash tiiat l-4 po.-'.hbi for m to put in a drive I hov I t;vi.r will."

And as for speed, Dempsey Kimi-j Misko, long regarded as one of the 8peUiest hoofers in th game, look like a woodenlegged circus fatman. Throughout the entire fight of Monday afternoon L'tmpt.ey whizzed and whittled around Miske wi'h the speed of a panther and whenever ilitie triid to eajirmj an ay from attack Serupsey overhauled him without rea leffort. They tout Carpentier as a boxer as a greater boxer thau Derr.pfcey." Those who do that haven't seen the new Deriipsey In actionj haven't c en what amazing bosung skill he can display whenever the mood pleases him. Carpentier may be a greater boxer than Miske but if. he ever mixes it with Dempsey in a pure boxing match the chances are th.t Dempsey -will give him a very elcgaut bcoang lesson before he drops him into a btate of coma. They've talked Harry Wills, the nogro, as another "dangerous foemn" a tough citizen, Mr. Wills is ciuite tough He hits hard and can take an ordinary lighter's pasting and 5till linger around on his ebony toesics. But if Mr. Wilis is ever tossed into the ring with dark Dempsey ttie champion probably wont by merciful by boxing the. hrst round with him. He will probably just t.tep forth and whale away and Harry Wills will Boon be having a ten-.-.eiond nightaiar: on the canvas.

"He 's a Bear Cat" Says Miske

By JACK DEMJSEY, World' Hevy "Weight Champion. Now tluit I'v added Billy Minke's nam eto the list of kuockouts, I hope that Jack Kearns can induce promoters to bring on all th others who want to taka a crack at me. I'm fit and ready now and I'll remain hit and ready untlf I have whipped .;veiy man In the world and eatoidibhed complete Bupremacy of pugilism. Misle bliowcf! a wonderful lot if gametics thi3 aittrnoon, but he never menaced me during any moment of the flght. I alway felt that I could beat him in this battle tliat I could knock him out and I proved 1L By E1I.LT ISXE Defeated Challenger for the Title. It's my thought tonight that thtre'3 no man alive who can stand up before Jack Dempsey the Jack Dempsiy of today for ten full rounds. rounds to attack llercely, but did not succeed in doing much damagu to his opponent. lu the open fighting Frtedmaa always got the better of the argument while in the clinches which Donley forced most of the punishment 'went to the Chicago boy. The first four rounds were about even. Freouman succeeded In getting a few good blows, but most of the time the two were in clinches la which Frcedman iiad a hard time hitting Donley. Mickey would get into a clinch and would then open up with a series of blows to the stomach and body. These bothered Frcedmaji and lie attempted to get in an uppercut, not caring what ineuns he look to get hi3 punches across. Time ai.d again the refer cautioned him against shady tactics. lx.nley also deviated somewhat from the rules but was not warned as often as Freedman. In tho fifth round Donley decided to try open fighting and as a result the I round proved to be all for Freedman. In J this round he managed to get across j some left jabs to Donley's jaw which shook him up considerably and it looktd for a tine as thouiih the easterner i might be put away. He came back 111 j the next round however, and kept things 1 about even again until the tenth round. In this rourd Freedman started with a rush and managed to start Donley's no.se bleeding by a butt of his head. He followed with some good lefts and easily won the last round. Young Kennedy of (jary started his battle in good fashion and was able to get a little advantage in the rirst round. He lacked steam, however, and alter O'Xtul hud handed him a cou pie stilt ones on the nose and had 'the blood flowing freely he seemed to lose his pep. He stood up to a Put of punishment until the fifth round and after going down for the count of nine twice was willing to go back lor more when the referee stopped the bout. The crowd which turned out for the scrap was very small and less than had been expected by the management. A small crowd was to be expected, however, and the management is looking forward to next Saturday when the bantam weight champ, Pete Herman, wiil buck up against Jack Sharkey. Sharkey is the boy who took Jimmy Wilde across and he thinks that he ts now in a position to cop the title for himself. H. rman is in fine condition and thinks he will have no trouble In keeping, his crown. To say the least it should be soma battlo. VICTOR A. 0. WIN 22nd VICTORY The Victor A. C. defeated the Avenue A. C. by a score of 9 to 5. Jahn

He's the grfau.te.6t man l.i the ring today and I bow to hi esuperior skill. Twice before I fought Dempsey nad held him off. It was my thought that I not only could duplicato today, but that I could knock Lim out. But the Dempsey of today la so vastly an Improved fighter over the man of two years ago that there is no comparison. Dempsey Showed boxing skill thia afternoon greater than I ever thought possible for him. And he flashed epeep that was simply bewildering. And when he started to punch well, I knew the end had tome for me after that smash landed under my heart in the second. I have no alibi to tfTr. I was beaten by a great tighter, certainly by thr- greatest battler of this era, if not the greatest of them ail.

Dxevyanko, the Victor A. C. tw'.Ier allowed five hits and striking out 1 men while Keder, the Avenue A. C. twirler allowed 12 hits and struck out 4 men. The Victor A. C. scored four runs in the first. The Victor A. C. played good bail, Buncik and Gaylor getting a two bagger and Dxevyanka andlliffer getting a four base clout apiece. The left fielder made some good catches, getting tbree out of four and Krunpash took care of the hot corner. The lineup of the Victor A. C. was: Crietof, c; Dxvayanka. p; Daffalos, If; Gaylor.

umpire, at the game with the B;ti!

team of Hammond, U;ey walked eff tho fieiu, thus giving tho Beta team a B to 0 game last Saturday. The score was tied, and It was the last of the eighth inntny when Iytrich singled, stole second, and when called lafe oil a very close play the Chemical team all ran up and tried to runke the umpire change his decision. 'This game wai for the championship of the Industrial League in which the two teams were qualified to play the tie off. The Chemical team got the break when they scored their only run on a foul ball which the umpire called fair. Nothing was said about this play. . See iiig thb.t the Betz team had a chance to score In their half with no one gone and a runner on second it was time for them to break up, as they always do. A great crowd was out to see the game and they thought that it was very poor sportsmanship on the part of Mr. LarU the manager for telling his players to j uuit playing unless the umpire changed his decision. According to the l'J20 Spuulding Major League rules when the umpire makes his decision the game is forfeited to the team who he gives his decision to. It was a corking game with Lynch and Ulrich opposing each other, both pitched a good game, and only allowed a few scattered hits, Lynch was the better man with men on basts, three times he had two men on and then struck out the next two batters. The Chemical team beat the Betz nine a week ago Saturday, on sand lot ground which they have near their plant. ami thought they could repeat the same stunt, they were surprised when they could not score any runs so this made thenvkLcd of peeved. The Betz team never argued during the wh-le season, only on decisions which they thought was right, and never was known to quit, and walk off the field, as the Chemical fellows did. If Mr. Lartz will read the lotter which will be published in The Times in a few days he will know who the game belongs to. The game was clean ar.d tat until they quit, the score was 1 to 1.
