In,
Not Mach Chance of Dempsey
Meeting “Strangler” Lewis
Odds Would Be Against Heavyweight Fistic Champion if
Two Ever Got Together in Ring—Wrestler
Has Edge on Leather-Pusher in Mixed Bout.
By FRANK G. MKNKK.
Copyright, 1U*2.
ON'T become unduly exercised over the “scheduled"
mixed match involving Jack Dempsey and Strangler
Lewis.
Chances are that it's merely a bit of hokum de
signed to get a little publicity for Dempsey, Lewis and
the town of Wichita, Kan.
In the llrst place, Wichita seems hardly able to
finance any such affair. And, secondly. Jack Kearns
is entirely too smart in fistic affairs to permit a
world’s boxing champion to monkey around with a
wrestler.
Ono little slip, one little misstep, an extra savage
jolt, a sudden twist of the arm or the leg—and Demp
sey. the "million-dollar asset," might be ruined for
ever as a fighter.
If llempsoy ever elected to mix it with a heavy
weight wrestler, the odds would l>e tremendously
against him—provided he would have to wear boxing
gloves while his rival operated in bare-handed fashion. For Dempsey s only
,Infinite chance would hinge upon whether he could send home a sleep-pro
ducing punch before he was grabbed.
Inasmuch as Dempsey never has finished a truly-trained nthlete with
“ one blow, how could he hope to win"
It’s true Dempsey wrestled somewhat in his younger duvs. That was
when on tour among the mining camps of the west, during which time he
met all centers either at fighting or wrestling. And Dempsey knows quite
a few grappling tricks. •:-—- i
Hut what good would all (lie wres
tling knowledge which he has avail
him if he were in the ring grappling
with gloved hands?
Fast for Heavyweight.
Dempsey is powerful—and lie's
chain lightning In action for a heavy
weight. He can stand up under terrific
ring punishment. Hut his muscles are
of tile kind which merely make it pos
sible for him to withstand punching.
A wrestler and a boxer call into ac
tion an entirely different set of mus
cles. A wrestler couldn’t hit a straight
right hand punch if he were paid the
ransom price of a thousand kings. His
arm and shoulder muscles are heavy,
ponderous; developed to push, haul
and lift—but not to snap forward In a
straight line with terrific speed and
power.
The boxer, on the other hand, has
po real lifting, pulling or hauling
strength In his arms or shoulders. The
legs of a boxer are built for speed—
and little else. Thoso of a wrestler
pack the power to crush, the power
to stand up under a heavy human
load. Am? also the ability to withstand
crunches, twists and spins.
Has Strong Neck.
A fighter doesn't pay much atten
tion to the development of tlio neck
muscles. But almost before he devel
ops anything else, a wrestler must de
velop a powerful, unbreakable neck.
m If he doesn't, his grappling career will
- be of the briefest.
Let's suppose Dempsey goes on
against a wrestler.
It's 25 to 1 that Dempsey, even
If he does land a punch with every
thing that’s in him upon the jaw of
a fighter, won't finish his roan. He
may stagger him—but what then?
The wrestler clinches. There’s no
referee to part them. The wrestler
continues to clinch until hi!^ brain
clears. Then he gets cusy. He tries
for a crotch or a wristlork, a hammer
lock, a hendlock, a half-Nelson, a full
Nelson.
It's 10 to 1 that whatever he tries
for he’ll get because Dempsey, wear
ing gloves, won't be able to pull away
the clutching hands. And because
Dempsey will be gloved, he cannot get
an effective hold upon his rival.
Wrestlers Generally Win.
What's the answer?
Can it bo other than that Dempsey
will be flopped upon the canvas, where
with muscles untrained to meet a
wrestling emergency, he will be
pinned at the will of the wrestler?
In years gone by, wrestlers have
taken on boxebs, each using their own
style of warfare. Most of the affairs
were won by the wrestlers. There are
a few isolated Instances where the
boxer won. But It is well established
that In those duels the boxer was a
champion or near champion, whereas
the wrestler he met was a dub.

Dempsey Into Court
Los Angeles, Jan. 12.—Jack Demp

painter, who alleges he was assault
ed by Joe Hyram Dempsey, Jack's
brother, and Teddy Hayes, a trainer,
while working in Dempsey's home
here. Bartlett asserted Joe Dempsey
f* and Hayes were in the employ at
Jack at the time he was "beaten up"

damages, although Jack had nothing

sault.

HARRY D. A WINNER.
Charlie B. Irwin, prominent Wyoming horseman, has dug up another
hang-tail that Is kicking up considerable dust down in Tiajuana, Mexico, this
winter at the annual Tiajuana race meeting.
Harry I). Is this equine’s name, and lie lifts a mean quartet of hoofs
In Tiajuana. This big chestnut horse has earned more than $3,000 In
purse money for Irwin sinre turkey day. Just how much Ha-ry I), has
won In wagers Is hard to tell, but It’s a cinch lie has made his backers
beacoup jack.
Irwin took a liking to Harry D. one day last spring down at Tiajuana.
A few weeks previous, C. E. Groves claimed the critter, but along came an
other claiming race and Irwin forked over $1,100 for the runner and away
went Harry D. to join Motor Cop and others.
A few days later Harry I). was flying the silks of the Irwin stables.
The horse lost three straight races and lost ’em badly.
Irwin then put Harry I). aboard a freight car and shipped him hack
to Cheyenne, where the horse was turned out on the plans. This was
just what Harry l>. needed.
When the Tiajuana meeting opened last November, Harry r>. was on
deck with the rest of the Irwin runners. The horse was full of speed and a
good-looking runner.
Soon after the meet started Harry I>. started displaying his speed of
yore. He started winning and has been winning ever since, lie beat
Ringlike in 1:00 2-5 for a new mark for five and one-half furlongs at
Tiajuana.
Tuesday, Harry D. won the feature race at Tiajuana. It was his tenth
straight win in 14 starts, a good record on any man's track.

If the Western league goes on record opposing 1he modified draft rules
in baseball, and this may happen if the club owners follow President A!

performers—or near performers. ,
When Barney Burch completed the George Grantham deal with
the Cubs, it was understood that the Chicago- Nationals would send
five players to Omaha.
Now the major leaguers come along and tell the minors that unless the
latter givo In to the modified draft rule, no players will he released to tho
anti-draft leagues.

after midnight, Cupt. J. M. Healey,,

it as a call for help front some fog
hound vessel, Captain Healey started
his boat, the "Adventuress.” through
the mists toward the source of the,
flashing light and soon came upon
tlie F. 8. 8. Nitro, ammunition car
rier, inward bound.
Capt. M. G. Cook of the Nitro. told
Captain Healey that he had tried in

of no way to summon a pilot at that
hour except by writing his need on
the sky with his powerful searchlight.
"Worked great, didn’t it, captain'/ ’
Captain Cook said.
"Sure did." Captain Healey replied.
"1 recommend the same stunt for sit
ships in distress at night.”
