Dempsey Sure -Title
Crown
Will Stay Here1
Champion Is Confident That
If Anybody Has System That
Can Beat His, He Is En
titled to Belt.
mew York, Oct. 23. Jack Dr!mp
ley the heavyweight champion of
the world, though he was almost
within a stone's throw of Ihe Jersey
City base ball park, where
Georges , Carpentier knocked . out
"Battling" Levinsky, remained away
from the battle ground.
One might think that Jack would
welcome a chance to See in action
the man who will probably become
a challenger for , his crown before
another year has elapsed. But that
is not the way Dcmpsey does busi
ness. He works on the principle that
when he is in the ring he is the one
that is going to set the pace and do
ithe bulk of the fighting. For that
reason he cares not what the other
fellow intends to do.
The champion is confident that if
anybody has a system that can beat
his, he will be entitled to the crown.
Not Hard to Hit
Puerile as was the work of Levin
sky it showed above other things
that Carpentier is not a hard man to
hit. On one occasion Levinsky
showed a flash of speed with his
right hand and shot it right through
hjs opponent's guard, landing on
the nose. ,
Such a blow as that from the fists
of the "Assassin" would have broken
the nose and so disrupted George's
breathing that his speed would have
been impaired and he would have
bled himself weak in no time.
When Levinsky did come out of
his shell and resort to his left hand,
it was shown without a doubt that
a fast-hitting left hand would upset
the Frenchman mightily.
Now, if there is one thing that
Dempsey has, that is a good left
hand that travels but a few inches
and hits probably the champion's
hardest blow, especially if it be de
livered to the body. And every one
knows that Jack's right carries TNT
in sufficient quantities to put out of
commission anything in the way of
strength the idpl of France may
possess. ,
Carpentier is Fastest
So far as speed is concerned,
Carpentier is a bit more flashy than
is Dempsey, but the foreigner is not
nearly m accurate a hitter. If
Dempsey had Levinsky facing him
in the second round as helpless as
Carpentier rendered him there would
have been no third nor fourth
rounds. '

ter in the same old style that made
his reputation as one of the best,
if not the best, pitcher in the central
west.
The 44-year "young" pitcher was
born in Kock Bums, Web., August
2, 1876, during the Independence"
centennial. He began his amateur
base ballcareer with the Rock
Bluffs- team in 1887 at the age of 11
years. He played with the home
town aggregation until the close of
the season of 1892... He was with
the Plattsmouth team two years and
in 1894 played with the Cedar Creek,
Neb., nine.
Played With Louisville.
In 1895 and 1896 he played with
Louisville and Eagle, Neb., teams,
respectively, and in 1897 Platts
mouth again called for his serv
ices and he played with the Red
Sox until the close of the 1899 sea

Bellevue team, jlaying there in

Weight of Challenge Matches for
Tennis Cup on Tilden and Johnston
Soeakinsr of the prospects of the
American Davis cup team, Samuel
Hardy, the captain, who was in
Omaha Wednesday said: "It would
be (utile to attempt to disguise the
fact that the sole weight of the
Challenge matches falls upon the
shoulders of lilden and -Johnston.
This is not saying too much for
them. Suppose, for example, that
by some unfortunate circumstances
either Tilden or Johnston is unable
to play in the challenge matches at
Auckland, New Zealand. In that
eventuality our chances of bringing
back the cup are mighty slim. ,
"There is no denying that R. Nor
ris Williams, II, is an able player.
So is Charles S. Garland. The same
is true of Watson M. Washburn.
Still, the fact remains that were all
of the three mentioned ti go along
to Australia, the men who would
logically fight the battles' would be
Tilden and Johnston. Why? Simply
because 'Big Bill' and 'Little Bill'
struck a class by themselves. If he

to be the best year in the history of

New York, Oct. 23. When the
golf records for 1920 are all com
piled they will show no outstand
ing favorite among the profession
als. Those who have been accus

and shekels have had to work hard
for all they got this year. Neither
homebreds nor resident pros. suc

Ted Ray took care of that title, al

Of the other bif events, HTitchin

Dougfas Edgar, who since com

won the southern and - Canadian
open titles, while Walter Hagen, air
though losing his national crown,
won the metropolitan and the
French championships, and only a
short time since carried1 off first
money in the Bellevue tournament.
It can be seen, therefore, that
Hutchinson, Edgar and Hagen have
accounted for a large majority of
the majn events this year. The horthJ

saw Hagen toss away a chance
for a tie by missing a short putt
on the last green.
