Jedi Kesrns Made Him Over Into Two-Banded
F|:hter by Tying Ills Right Hand to His Side
AndForcing Him to Battle With Left Alone.
. ‘3! JOE wrewms '
Jack Dempsey is a two-handed
fighter. Probably he is the best two-
hsnded fighter the heavyweight dl-
vision ever had. One hand is about
~ as dangerous as the other.
is his right with Jess Willard.
when he won the title. he knocked
the towering Kansan down with a
left hook under the heart. When
Willard got back on his feet Demp-
sey_sent him bouncing again with
a sight to the temple.
When Dempsey started he was.
like most untutored fighters. strictly
aright‘handed swinger. Jack Kearns
made him over into a two-handed
fighter by tying his right hand to his
side and forcing him to battle spar-
ring partners with his left alone.
' Dempsey admits that It was in this
y that he developed the peculiar
ving and lobblng style which
. takes him such an elusive target in'
the ring.
Using only one hhnd he
has to weave and bob to keep from
heing hammered.
While there is just as much dyna-
the other.
Dempsey thinks his left is his best
weapon because he can hook and
lab and uppereut with it. On top of
this he can punch faster with hi
left than his right.
011 Order of Fits
. Old-timers say that Dempsey's at-
tack is not much different from the
one that Bob Fltzimmo‘ns used to
use. Bob used to shoot left. hooks
at'the head and the body. using hie
right mainly to smash against‘ 'the
heart. or rather just at the edge of
the ribs under the heart.
' ~‘,. Dempsey goes after these vulner-
sble points. too. And. like Bob. he
shoots most of his selves from a
shift position—thst weave we were
talking about in an earlier para-
Becaues Dempsey is faster
than Fits ever was. his weave is
more effective than the freckled
warrior‘e shift. You can take Jlm
Corbett's word for that.
‘ Dempsey uses what you might
call. a double-barreled shift. He
starts it from either side. Almost
every su‘cceseion of blows he strikes
is delivered in a shift movement. for
he steps forward with every punch
and thus throws himself into shoot-
inst Deposition with his other hand.
y does most of his execu-
ti6n with his left hooks. He has a
remarkable double punch with his
left modeled (so i am told by the
grsybeards) after that of his name-
sake. the Nonpsriel. Dempsey is the
, only‘flgliter in the game today who.
uses the “double left" with consist-
eni- effect.
. The "double left" is one of the
- most succeasiul punches in a boxer' I.
repertoire when perfectly executed
and is little more than waste mo.
"tie'p' when imperfectly applied.
The punch is first driven to the
stomach and then curled upward to

ALEX LIKES
HIS HO0TCH
Fans of St. Louis never will forget
the game of a recent Sunday at Cla-
cinnatl when that veteran Grover
Cleveland Alexander begged for the
ball even though it was not his turn
to pitch. Rogers Hornsby’ looked at
the willing veteran. the hero of
scores and scores of fight battles. He
figured that here was the winning
spirit and let him pitch. Alex had
hurled nine innings on August 21.
Worked in two games three days
later. One day later he pitched one
inning. On August 29 he hurled ten
innings.
Three days later he asked to be
pitted against the Cubs. How he
stopped them in their tracks with
the Cub fan fighting Cubfau in the
grandstand looms up as one of the
high lights of a thrilling baseball
race. Alexytvalked off the field 'a
thoroughly satisfied man that he had
beaten the toast that traded him
really for Huntsinger. ‘
"Give me that ball, Bog." said the
player who likes his liquor and ad-
mits it. “Let me at those Reds. Let
me take that last game." Hornsby
knew better than refuse. Alex pick-
ed by popular choice to pitch the
lflnsl and deciding game of the
year if needed. seldom has disap-
pointed and he'll be 40 next win-
ter. ' .
