Jack Dempsey Expects to Re
move Excess Weight Be
fore Labor Day Bout Wth
Miske.
By RAY PEARSON.
Two weeks frorrij tomorrow wi the
arena operated by Floyd Fitzsim
mons at Benton Harbor the fans of
the country will know whether or
not a year's layoff from ring activity
has dulled the fighting speed of
World's' ' Heavyweight"- Champion
Tack Dempsey. Two weeks from
tomorrow Dempsey strips for action
in his first engagement since knock
ing Jess Willard out of jhe title on
July 4, 1919, at Tolrrlo. He finds
Billy Miske of St. I'aul his oppo
nent this time.
Dempsey already has settled in his
training 'camp at Benton Harbor and,
judging from his appearance when
he landed in this section of the court1
try a week ago after quite a stay in
New York, he will need some work
to get into the shape he was in when
he fought Willard.' It might, be
hard to believe, bjiit the Jack Demp
sey of today weighs mgre than 200
pounds. But that should not worry
any rif the gents who like to dabble
in the wagering business, for, de
spite the poundage, the titleholder is
in good physical condition.
Height to Carry Weight.
Tu some fighters weight cuts con
siderable figure, but in Dempsey's
case it is a bit different. Dempsey,
with his height of 6 feet 1J4 inches,
is huilt to carry the double century
weight without any difficulty. But
the work in his Michigan training
camp should, knock offthe excess
poundage at present carried by the
ch.nnnion, I
There's a perfectly logical reason
for believing that Dempsey will he
in good shape when he has the pad
ded milts laced on his hard-hitting
hands. He i$ a hard trainer one of
the sort that, Vith something to do.
he can't go at it iif easy style, but
must rip into it jusj the way he
ripped into Fred Fulton, Jess Wil
lard and others who stood in his
path to the championship. That kind

the business of punching.
Jack Has Plenty of Time.
Having watched Dempsey careful
i ly hile he was training for his
battle with Jess Willard at' Toledo,
we feel Jn a position to judge what
the titleholder requires in the way of
training to condition himself for a
battle. Demnsev . had something
like right weeks in which to fit him
self for the match against the then
hampion Willard. What he needed
ivas not eight weeks, but about two
Vceks, for in our opinion and this
is substantiated by 'the opinion ex
pressed by his cHief trainer, Jimmy
De Forest Dempsey was in just as
Kood shape. two weeks after he start-
ed wprk as -he was on the day of
J the Krap, , '.. .
He has two weeks and more in
which to get ready for Miske, and il
is a safe bet thai Jack isn't going to
HOME THAT'S ALL
b caught out of condition by the
r. ram opposition. i nat win dc
plenty of time, for if one happens to
glance backward he wrll see that
Dempsey never entered a ring out
of condition. 1 So why should he
take that chance now that he is
champion and has everything to lose
should he fail to measure up to
winning the task that faces him.
' Arguments of Miske Fans.
The dopesters of flushing game
always find some way to give- the
underdog in-the betting a chance to
score a victory. . Therefore, it is
certain that Billy Miske will have
supporters when he climbs through
the ropes at the Harbor. Some of
those who will wager their money on
Miske will do so for two reasons.
One is that they expect Dempsey's
long layoff to affect his fast work
afoot; the other that Miske has twice
before met Salt Lake Jack' and was
on Jiis feet at the end of the stipulat
ed number of rounds scheduled.
But there's another thing that box
ing fans should not overlook and
that is that a boxer usually rights
differently as a champion than he
does as a title aspirant. It is a
cinch that Dempsey will finish his
job on Labor day just as quickly
as is possible. That's one reason
why those two other fights whicji
went the limit can be thrown out as
valueless when considering what is
going to happen two weeks from tomorrow.
"TWO AND THREE"
Putting the Next On Over.
By "BUGS" BAER.
BASE ballhas. changed a lot
since the outfielders tied on
. their high hats with their
"whiskers. ' In "the old, days- they
used to be out on the second
bounce, but just the other day an
vmp called a Yank player out cn
a pill that a Chicago fielder snagged
on the fifth hop. The ump claimed
the crdwd "vas in his eyes, which
is a new one, also. The mob is
generally on the rnp's chest!
The fattest change has probably
been in the box office, but there has
been some nimble alteration in
the position of ths clean-up man.
Tt used to be ih unwritten base
ball lav that the boy with .the
sock was always number four the
line-up. Ed Delahanty, Lajoic,
Jesse Burkett, Pop Anson and the
other batsmiths always grabbed
berth four in the slugging Pullman.
If anybody got on, those birds
would knock 'em off. And number
four was figured the right spot" for
the heavy lumber.
.iGive Ed Delahanty -10 v cents'
worth' of wood' and he Would step
m and knock that ball curly. He al
ways swung from the fourth stall.
Number four was the big yazoo.
The rest of the. batting orkr con
sisted of sacrifice --hitters and a
pitcher. '

timber from all over the linc-up.

Tight British Censorship
on Private Persian Mails
Paris, Aug. 21. Proof that Persia
has ceased to be a nation and become
a colony of Great Britain is provided
by the Paris newspaper La Liberte,
one of the most conservative jour
nals in France, which publishes the
evidence of an autocratic British
censorship over Persian mail.
According to La Liberte, a promi
nent French diplomat received a let
ter from a French official in Eraen-
gali. Despite the fact that the con
tents of the letter were marked
"strictly confidential" and "diplo
matic," the envelope was cut open
and carelessly stuck together again
by the -familiar wartime sticker
priiyted "Opened by Censor."

All Maximum Tires
Every -Miller, Cord or Fabric, is th'
maximum tire of that type,
"We know that. Night and day, year
after year, we compare the Miller witk
-other leading makes. "We wear out
1,000 tires a year in making these com
parisons.
Pay the Price
If a Tire Can Outrun Millers
There are some tires sold at an extra
price which claim to give extra mile
eye. ,
v .If they do that, buy them.
Extra service is worth an extra cost.
And a maker who skimps to cut a price
does not deserve your patronage.
But prove the facts. Put the extra
price tire opposite the Miller and let ,(
the odometep decide.
Cords s( Fabrics
Crd Tires outlast Fabrics and are
, worth thtfxtra cost. More and more,
as men prve this, they are coming to
the Cords.
. But the best Cord or best Fabric
should be proved out by a like test.
Then patronize the maker who serves
best.
What to Require
Don't judge tires by the mileage
which some user got
Bvery maker lias some freak tires.
And the great records are made by
oversize tires run under rare condi
tions. '
i But require that Miller outrun any
tire on the opposite rear wheeL
The Newspaper Truck
'a regular newspaper truck, bought
to go anywhere, any time through
mud, sand, snow or dirt, can give
tires a real test.
Thev Omaha Daily News has a-ton
White, used in catcmng mail trains
and rushing papers toVsery part ef
the city. A Milter Tire, 35x5, has
seen better than 12,000 miles of serv
ice on this truck and is still running.
Or, if you tjpst four Millers, require
uniform mileage.
Require that treads outlastthe bal
ance of the tire.
Miller Tires will win you if you
judge them in that way. And jrou owe
it to "yourself. ''
Miller treads outwear rival treads
by an average of25 per cent We also
prove that by these tests. i
Miller Tires are uniform. Every tire
is signed by the maker and the inspec
tor. And both are penalized if a tire
comes back.
There are many Miller dealers with
large sales who have never 1-ad a
Miller Tire returned.
What Mileage?
Tire mileage has been vastly in
- creased in late, years.
x In our factory tests we average
13,000 miles on Miller Cords. And
those are rear-wheel tests made under
extreme conditions. i
Many Miller users report from 20,000
to 25,000 miles. And maAy, we know,
get but 10,000 miles. So much depends
on size, load, road and' care.
But compare the mileage. See Avhich
tire gives greatest service under like
conditions, then adopt that tire.
That's what large tire users do. And
Millers' are used exclusively today by
countless users who have made such
tests. !

Miller Tires. Twenty car makers now
supply them and there is no extra
charge.
