(Copyright 1921 by King Featurs Syndl cate. Inc.) (Kditor's Note: This Is the second of a serlee of 12 articles which will appear daily In tills column which deal with the early days of Jack Dempaey's humorous. picturesque, and ever Interesting career. The next Instalment appears tomorrow.) CHAPTER II. "I promoted the first professional fight of my career and it cost me money to do it," related Dempsey, in discussing his fistic life. "Right then and there I was cured of any thought of becoming a rival to Tex Rickard. "Alone about the time I was 14, I left my home in Montrose, Colo., to find a job. I roamed around, working wherever there was an opening." I labored for awhile on the farm, eot into a coal mine, then took a job pitching hay, later did carpenter work and afterward worked in a copper and silver mine. In 1914. when 1 was not quite IV. I went home for. a little visit and the first thing I heard about was the great ring record that, had been assembled by Freddie Woods. They were touting Freddie as a regular wild cat with the boxing gloves. That gave ine a little laugh because before I had left Montrose, Freddie and I used to put on a walloping bee whenever either of us felt in a fiehtine mood and I never did have much trouble polishing him off. I bumued into Jbreddie when 1 was in town and began kidding him about being a great fighter. Freddie didn't take the joking very good naturedlv and passed out a challenge to me, pointing out that I might have been his master lour or rive years before, but he then could lay it all over me any time. 'All r is it " I said, "let's duck off in this lot. Freddie, and settle the argument. '"No" said l'rcddie. "that isn t the ' way I do things now. I get money for fighting. 1 don t tight you un less 1 tret money for it. We'll try to dig up somebody in town who will match us and he'll charge peo ple to see us fight and we'll get some money for our exhibition.' "I was skeptical but Freddie was very enthusiastic. He was confident that the whole town would turn out to see the fight and was hope ful that folks would come Irom nearby towns, too.

They grinned and walked away. It looked like a hopeless proposition as far as the fight was concerned when Freddie suddenly turned to me and said: "'Why don't you promote the fight? You pay me a certain amount of money for boxing you whether I win or lose and then you take for yourself all the money that you get above actual expenses. There ought to be an awful lot of dough in it for you.' "I fell for Freddie's idea. I hired a hall which costs me $15. I didn't have the $15' but the Moose club which owned the hall, agreed to trust me until I had taken in enough money through the sale of tickets. Then I got out some printing which took all my ready cash and went to other expenses which put me in debt to the tune of $40. "Meanwhile Freddie steamed up my hopes. He assured me that the whole town was crazy about the match and that it would turn out in a body and that I would hake a lot of money. As an added attraction at Freddies suggestion 1 an nounced that a dance would imme diately follow the boxing bout, the idea being that he could lure a lot of women folk to the fight hall at 25 cents a head.

Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, gave Rocky Kansas of Buffalo a complete boxing lesson in their 12-round scramble at the Har rison ball park last night.. Benjamin carried off honors in eight out of the 12 rounds scheduled, but his squatted opponent never backed up an inch during the entire proceed ings. Rocky, who is much shorter than Leonard, kept plunging in and hooking his left repeatedly to the champion's wind. , Near the end of the contest Leonard bad Kansas reeling from repeated left and right smashes to the chin, but Rocky was dangerous and carried a kick which had -Leonard's respect until the very last bell. Several times during the bout Kansas struck the "champion'' low. It was apparently uninten tional on his part, however, and only once did Leonard complain to the referee. For the first three 'rounds Leon ard worked, around Kansas like a cooper around a barrel, driving and pecking with his tantalizing left hand with the precision of a sharp shooter, however, Rocky was in there attending to his business and several times he had the champion worried as a result of his crowding tactics and fierce ' work in the clinches. Rocky stepped out in the fourth round and took the lead for the first time during the fight. The rugged Buffalo boy kept crowding the champion to the ropes and it was in these periods that the Italian did his best work. He just loved to grappfe with Leonard in the scrimmages and the champion had considerable dif ficulty to get himseli free from these From the sixth round on, Leonard drew away from Rocky like a stake horse would leave a selling platter. With his hard darting left and over hand, right hand counters to the jaw, Rocky appeared a little puzzled at Benny's speed. The champion's best round was the eighth, when he staggered the Buffalo boy with stinging left and right smashes to the chin. Rocky is a tough kid and he' weathered the storm without wincing. While the champion was pumping in those left-handed socks, Rocky continued his plunging tactics, rip ping his strong left hand into Benny's wind. For the greater part of the fight Leonard employed his left hand almost exclusively and it was not until along about the last few rounds that he brought his right into play for some actual duty. When Leonard got that right hand working it was a tough journey for Rocky. Orchid King Sold ToNelsB.Ujidike Nelson B. Updike added another galloper to his stable this morning when he purchased Orchid King, 6-year-old c hestnut gelding, by Cunard Arline, from the Irwin stable, for a handsome price. Orchid King has been one of the big money makers for the Irwin establishment. He won the six fur longs at Tiajuana, April 14, from a field of eight starters. Oa Sunday, March 27, at Tiajuana, the Irwin entry flashed under the wire first in the five and one-half furlongs race. He placed first in a six furlongs race at Tiajuana on March 22, winning by a head from Miss Manage. Updike has three thoroughbreds in his stable at Ak-Sar-Ben in Phrone Ward, Lady in Black and Orchid King. These three gallopers will be coupled at iTie Updike entry in the fifth race tomorrow afternoon. By JACK DEMPSEY. Atlantic City, N. J., June 7. Hard luck seems to be camping on my lately. The cut over my left which was reopened yesterday in my bout with Larry Williams, bothered me a lit tle and last night I had a doctor put a stitch in it. He advised me to lay off boxing for a while, so for the next four days I will not put on the gloves with my training partners. The doctor as sures me that the cut is a mere trifle, but it is in an awk- place an' naiu the least bump would reopen it. If I give it a chance to heal completely I will have no further trouble with it. The cut is not painful nor is it at all serious. It will not effect my eyesight in any way, but it comes at a time when I am most anxious to get in some heavy work. I had planned on making this a good, rough week and feel bitterly disap pointed in being forced to slow up. Luckily I am in such fine trim al ready and have so much training time left before the big battle that I am not worried. If the fight were to be held tomorrow I might feel some apprehension, but it is a long time until July 2. Since I can do no boxing I will do my best to make up for the loss by putting in some time rn the punch ing bag, sand bag, calisthenics and road work. I cannot afford to let down completely at this stage of the grind. If I were to sit around doing nothing I would soon go stale, be come nervous and fretful. If I have something to occupy my time I will not worry. Following my restricted program, I began the day with a six-mile jaunt along the seashore. Part of the time I walked and finished running strongly. My wind is so good that I could steu into the ring tomorrow trail eye, BaseBauResults ertaStandtns WESTERN LEAGUE. W. U Pet. I W. L.

I Vette Wins Central Golf Championship Fred Vette, crack junior golfer, won the Central High school golf championship yesterday when he de feated Ned Reynolds brother of Golf Champ Sam Reynolds, 6 up, in a 36 hole match at the Field club. . Vette led Reynolds throughout the whole match. Both players had sev eral bad holes which marred their scores. Vette turned in two 85 scores, while the best that Reynolds could gather was 89 and 87. Reynolds ptayed his poorest game on the first nine holes, but improved on his back course. Vette was 4 up at the 18-hole mark. Reynolds start ed poor on the second 18 holes, los ing the first three holes, but braced and won several in a row. Vette played a consistent game and ended the match on the 13th green. Vette's short work won him the match. .

Tyrm Cobb Whangs Out His Eighth Home Run of the-Season New York, June 7. Managers Cobb of Detroit and Speaker of Cleveland set good examples to their players yesterday. The Tiger leader batted out his eighth home run of the season. Two of Cobb's players, Dauss and Blue, followed suit. Speaker returned to the Indian lineup as a regular and made four hits. and feel sure that I would have no trouble in stepping 12 rounds at top speed. Some of the boys around the camp kept tab on me yesterday and told me this morning that I put in 33 miutes of shadow and real boxing without a pause. The 12 rounds I am to box Carpentier, even if the fight went the limit, would only take 36 minutes of actual work and I would have a minute's rest between rounds. This will give the fans a good line on how near ready I am for the fight. This afternoon I put in about half an hour with punching bag, sand bag and shadow boxing. I use the fastest punching bag that it is possible to get, but ' neither sand bag nor punching bag can give the satisfaction that is felt when the old haymaker lands on an opponent's jaw or stomach. I don't mean sat isfaction in the sense that I like to hurt anybody, but in the knowledge that I have succeeded in landing on a man who is using head and body to avoid my punches while trying to land a few on his own account. There is not much satisfaction in slamming a bag around, because there is never a comeback. I am going to lose all the little fellows who have been boxing with pie. Alex .Trampitas, the welter; Gentleman Joe Benjamin, the light weight, and Babe Herman, the ban tam, are going to New York to train for fights. This will leave quite a bit of room at the camp and Man ager Jack Kearns will probably re place the little fellows with some husky heavyweights. Martin Burke, the New Orleans heavyweight, leaves tomorrow for Columbus, where he will battle Joe Downey. Burke will return after this scrap and will continue boxing with me. With the addition of two or three big men I will have all the work I need. (King Feature Syndicate, Copyright 1921.) Women conductors enploycd on the Kansas City street cars do not work at nieht.
