HOW HE LEARNED TO USE HIS LEFT.
Mr. C. B. Cochran sailed for New York on December 14, to negotiate with Jack Dempsey and his manager to stage the Carpen- tier-Dempsey fight for the boxing championship of the world.
A quaint story has been related in an American paper of how Dempsey was taught to use his laft. In his early days he was a very poor boxer. In fact, when be was first coming out as a fighter he had little else but willingness to slug, hitting mast- ly with the right hand, which Le used with a big sweeping motion that would have been easy for a clever man to dodge or guard.
or
Kearns liked the look of young Dempsey. He picked him out of a bunch of indifferent youngsters. and decided that he would do-if he could be remodelled revamped. Such a process is long and trying, and generally fails with the old hand who has contracted plenty of bad ring babits.
Dempsey had plenty of the latter, while his left was well- nigh useless in an offensive way, and that is a real handicap. Kearns saw it. at once, and argued with Dempsey about it.
FORCED TO FIGHT WITH ONE HAND.
Jack admitted the weakness, and stated that he had tried hard to find a remedy. without effect. It was natural, he said. just to smash with the right. Kearns then adopted a novel scheme for setting his protege on the right lines.
He hired a couple of fast light- weights to box daily with Demp- sey, and just before they started werk Kearns would strap Demp sey's right arm tightly to his side, leaving his left arm free. The lighter man had instructions to go after Dempsey as fast as possible, to keep pecking away at him with all sorts of punches. The result was that Jack, in mad attempts to defend himself. not only learned a new use for his left hand, but perfected a system of ducking and head slipping that soon became very adroit and use- ful.
WHOLE SYSTEM CHANGED. On this point Dempsey has stated-"It is to that idea of Kearns's in strapping my right arm down that I owe my good left hand of the present day, to say nothing of the way I carry, my head when a man is coming to me. 1 boxed by the hour band- icapped in this way, and for weeks only used my left. I learned to stick it out good and straight, and in another week I began to get some steam behind it.
Kearns never let me try to hook it or swing. which was the natural inclination for me. He kept insisting on my learning a straight punch first. When I found out how to nail the average opponent with a left and how much more accurate a man could make it than the right. I saw where I had been wrong for years.
"With that my whole system of boxing changed. My right was as good as ever; I knew that occasional use of it was all that was necessary. My chin was never in the direct line of punch.
ex.
for I had been taught to sweep it to one side as I hit, thus making a hard target for an opponent.
"Some of the critics have claimed that I'm ae open as a gate when I start aggressive work. That's not so. I never go into a man straight.but in a zig-zag course. My head is kept low. I believe I present less of an opening to my man than other heavy-weights of to-day."

ONE EFPECT OF PROBIBITION,
Sir James Stevenson, diractor of a Birmingham distillery, says that although Canada had gone largely "dry" his firm were being asked to ship more goods to that country than when it was sup- posed to be "wet.". They bad a request from their agents to sub- stitute glass stoppers for corks, 43 "now that the country had gone dry, corkscrews were difficult to obtain."
