THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG SPORTIN GENERAL Made Last Night to Have Postponed Game Played Then. The postponed game of Wednes- "day evening will be played on Satur- day afternoon at the George Rich- _ardson Stadium at 3.30 o'clock it 'was announced last night after ar- rangements with the Peterboro club had been completed. The Petes were | here for their game but the Weather- man was averse to a ball game be- ing played and the result was that the game had to be called off, The! . managements got together last even- ing and decided to have the game played on Saturday afternoon. This announcement was greeted with great satisfaction. Many local fans thought they were going to lose the game altogether until the end of the season, Saturday afternoon is not the best time for a ba!l game in Kingston but it is the bes: arrange- ment that could be made and the fans are pleased with the efforts put forth to have the game here. The playing of the game will be a little harder on the Kingston team as they have to play in Belleville on Mon- day. is However, everything will be set for the battle on Saturday providing the weather is right and that there will be a big crowd on hand goes 'without saying.

That's why I am confident I can set a new world's record in the 100-yard dash this year." Charles Paddock, known in athle- tie circles as the world's fastest hu- man, was author of this statement. He had just fimished a hard day's workout on the cinder path at Pad- dock field here. Better Than Ever, "Records prove that I am a bet- fer man now than at the start of any other season," declares Sir 5 "Never befora have I been @ to negotiate the century in less than 10 seconds at any of the open- fg meets of the year. Yet I covered distance in 9 3-6 seconds at Stan- a short time ago and it was the time I had run in competition 1924." 'When Paddock set his world mark F'9 3-5 seconds in the spring of 21 he was heralded as Being at peak of his career. He had train- od daily for several months before accomplishing this feat. However, _ with less than three weeks' training, Paddock--now 25 years old--was able to equal that performance a few weeks ago. ~The Pasadena flash is not the only one who believes he can lower the econtury mark. Dean Cromwell, track coach at the University of Southerh California, taught Charley ly everything he knows about sprinting. And he agrees with 'his protege. ssi Should Lower Reécord. "If he has patience and persever- 'ance, Paddock should lower his mark with little difficulty," says Cromwell. "But it will take a long hard training grind to put him in the proper condition. It requires . six months of steady work to put Charley on edge. That means it will be July or August before he will be ready to go qut after a néW record." There is only one thing to which Paddock can attribute his success on the cinder path---he has kep! In con- dition at all times. Not all of his rork has been on a track to be sure. whether on a lecture tour or at _hé believes in keeping fit.

Rolling through Florida two months back I had come upon Gene Tunney doing light training on the beach just outéide of Miami and the chit-chat of the hour had inevitably turned to fighting--and to Dempsey. THe soldier battler had a notion that sooner or later he would get the champion into the ring and he was in a mood to discuss his prospects.

A Shots to the Stomach May Count would bring about the downfall of Dempsey. It should be mentioned that Tun- ney possesses a remarkable left- hook to the body. Technically it is known to him as the "liver punch," for the obvious reason that the force of the attack is directed at the liver, Tunney used this punch to start Georges Carpentier. on his way to a knockout and subsequently he be- labored the antiquated Tommy Gib- bons with the same weapon, accom- plishing a complete surrender. Tunney was inclined to draw a parallel between Carpentier and Dempsey because of the prolonged inactivity of the American cham- pion. Jack Votes '*No." "The Frenchman couldn't stand them in the stomach," said Tunney, "and I rather think Dempsey will buckle up under the same kind of shots." . I asked Dempsey to-day what he thought of his challenger's reason- ing. Shrugging his big shoulders and half laughing, he answered: "1 never saw anybody who liked to get punched in the stomach." Dempsey was reading a letter at the time. He read it througil. Then he repeated my words, "So Gene | to Appreciate Book of Sports for boys pais Ask your dealer for the Fleet Foot Book of and girls, or wrige for a copy to Sports Free Dominion Rubber Co, Ltd. Box 330, Montreal thinks I'll go out like Carpentier aia | it he hits me in the belt, eh? Well maybe he's right but I'll have to vote 'no"." Hard to Hit. "To begin with Carpentier was a frail fighter. He was particularly trail in the region of the stomach. I ought to know. I bent him double with the first body blow T landed in our fight at Jersey City. Everybody who ever fought the Frenchman went after his stomach." Dempsey has no illusions about being better than ever. He realizes his lay-off hasn't helped him any. But he has a sincere belief that he can work himself back into tip-top fighting shape and that he will be strong and rugged when he climbs between the ropes in September. "At any rate I don't think any- body is going to stop me with one punch .in the stomach," went on Dempsey, "and that goes for either Tunney or Wills." it is not a simple matter to hit Dempsey in the stomach, fighting as he does in a semi-crouch and using a weaving, bobbing style. Few of his opponents have been able to hit him solidly in the vicinity of the belt. The only fight in which he has taken any real punishment since winning the title was the one with Firpo, and in this fight the punches that brought his misery were right- handers to the head and jaw. Not that this means anything. Firpo certainly isn't in Tunney's class as a fighter; he knew nothing at all about infighting, whereas Tun- ney is a great infighter. Upkeep.
