SPORT COMMENT
Abe Attell, a former featherweight cham-
pion boxer, is the latest one of the re
tired pugilistic fraternity to come out with
the prediction that Jaek Dempsey, the Ctah
challenger, will put Jess Willard to sleep
when the two meet iri the ring July 4. Abe
not only makes this prophecy of the big
mill, but he gives tho public asstirance that

he will lay heavily of his purse on the
Dempsey side when the gong sets the two
big fellows going. He strings out his
prognostication something like this:
"Dempsey is sure winner anil I am go-
ing to get on him regardless of how good
Willard might show up in his training
work. Here's tlie way 1 have this thing
figured out. When a man gets to be Wil
lard's age and remains idle for a period of
three years, ho just naturally goes into
a state of athletic decay. He may look
great to all outward appearances, but you
can bet that when the test conies he isn't
there, once Willard gets tired in the ring
he will be so fagged he won't be able to
recuperate between rounds. Wneti ;i young,
| fresh, ambitious fighter gets tired while
I he's battling he can go to his corner,
sit down for the minute's rest, and when
ho steps out for the next round he is re-
freshed and ready for whatever may
happen. When an old fighter gets tired, he
is tired all over and cannot refresh himself
in less than twenty minutes or so. You
will find this to be the case with Willard.
He'll get tired early in the fight, bfl-
• ause Dempsey will carry him along at a
terrific clip. Jack will come out fresher
than ever nt the end of each round, but
•less will find himself unable to recuperate
In the same way. The result can be fore-
told right now. Willard will get a sound
beating, and get it quickly."

There's Abe's prediction in a nutshell,
but he goes further and explains ;it great |
length what other dire tilings are going
to happen to tho giant champion in this]
one i?) sided match. But the former
featherweight king drops into one weak
contention when he points to Willard as
an old man as he says, "somewhere near j
40," and he strays into another false
argument when he opines that the heavy-
weight «hump has been idle for three
\ears. .less is XI years of age. and since '
ho fought his iast ring battle three years
ago. h has been leading an exceedingly
active life. In this connection we are
bound t'» accept Millard's own statement
that he has kept himself in shape against
any serious call to defend his title.
• • •
It i.s evident, also, that when Attel is-
sued his statement to the effect that
youth must and will be at all times Tri-
umphantly served, lw» overlooked the recent
precedent set by Jack Britton, when the
former star welterweight emerged from
. ige obscurity to administer a
thrashing to the young champion. Ted
Lewis. Verily, things are not always as
they seem to the "wise" observer. The
records, fresh In the minds of all sports-
men. show that JiCwls was beaten from
start to finish, and therefore lost his title
At the present time Lewis is 23 years of
age, Britton is .14. So and so, it seems
to have been the youth and not the old
man who had trouble recuperating in his
corner between rounds, to say nothing of
what was going on in tne active interims.
• • •
On the dope, the winner of the coming
Willard Dempsey match will depend alto-
gether on which man is the faster boxer
and heaviest hitter, ami can land the most
effective blows. In this match youth and
senility, comparatively speaking, will play
no part at all.

In the matter of picking winners one
always likes to begin with contenders that
roost near home. So, turning from pugil-
ism to baseball,, the sports editor is going
to prognosticate a little on the eight teams
that will make the 1919 race for the pen-
ant in the American League. At the pres-
ent time we hare In our midst the St. Louis
Browns, who are in the battle to reach
the top. To do this a team must play
fast and consistent baseball from beginning
to end. There seems little doubt that the
Browns are going to go at a fast clip this
year- so fast. In fact, that they look the
best bof in the Americans at the present
time, judging by what all have shown In

Individual Buying
Makes MoforDemand
Increased individual buying power on
•ho part of the public jg responsible for
the greatest spring demand for motor cars
in the history of the automobile business.
ccording to Charles B. Voorhis, general
sales manager of, the Nash Motors Com
pan.v.
"Dealers throughout the country report
n extremely high percentage of sales for
-pring delivery In which no other car is
taken in on trade." says Mr. Voorhis.
With a volume of business greater than
, ver before at this time, Nash dealers
tell nie that in addition to sales involving
,i used car, there are an unprecedented
number of sales in which no car is taken
in trade. This means, taking the country
;<s a whole, that thousands of persons be
--ause of increased individual buying power
'his year are choosing their first automo-
! ilo.
"The increase in buying power is un-
doubtedly due to a number of things that
developed during the eighteen months pre
ceding the signing of the armistice.
"While during that period the cost of
living was higher, yet money was never
more plentiful. In the country districts
farmers received good compensation for
wheat and other cereals while in the large
industrial centers work was plentiful and
wages higher than in normal times. This
condition, of course, meant good business
for men bants both in small towns and in
large <ities.
"At the same time there was a general
tendency on the part of the public to avoid
extravagances with the result that the in-
dividual buying power of this country lias
been greatly increased. This is shown ii.
the large numbers of cars that are being
traded in by those now ready for a new
car and by the unusually large number of
sales that are being made to those who are
purchasing their first car.
"With conditions swinging back to nor-
mal and with the relaxation that has come
over the country following the trying
