the benefit of my experience.
"I have been a nurse for several
years and have often borne in contact

myself had been helped after talcing
it. and advised them to give it
a trial. Many of them have aince
thanked me for what I told them,
?o I am willing that other women
ft. thould know about it, too.
"I first took Cardui because I was
I' iwfully run-down* I had no appe
?te, and was weak and listless. It
I ^ns hard to keep going under such

thing which would help me.

so much that I have taken it

THE SILVER FOXES
How Dempaey and Fl>iui Planned The
(ireat Battle in New York.
New York, Jui> .;u They call hiiu
"The Silver Fox lie was christened
I/eo Peter Flynn. TU spurts fra
ternity takes libertb - and call him
Leo "Pieen" Flynn.
The difference In'ween the Jack
Dempsey at Philadelphia and the
Jack Dempsey at New 1 ?>rk last week
I?was Leo "Pisen" I".> nn -the Silver
Fox?who, as Dempsc^'s manager and
I chief advisor, did one big factor in
helping bring victory over Sharkey to
the former champion.
The aftermath of the DempseySharkey
battle found conversation
ceptered almost chiefly in discussion
of whether or not Dempsey had
fouled Sharkey in the knockout mixup
in the seventh round. Now that
sober analysis of the battle has been
made virtually all unbiased and fair
judges agree that Dempsey's victory
was clean-cut and that the belter man
won by following a carefully planned
battle and leading the bragging sailor
on to his Waterloo.
And "Silver F<^' Flynn had a big
hand in this. Discussing the sidelights
of the battle, both before and
after, Flynn disclosed to the writer
the de+ails of a hoax which was put
on'the^ew Yortcgamblers^and
which incidentally lead on until
even the Sharkey camp fell for it.
A few days before the fight Flynn
learned ' that the New York gambling
clique which cleaned up on Tunney
at Philadelphia?was out with a
pool of $65,000 to bet on the Dempsey-i
Sharkey match.
"I heard the boys were sending
an agent to Saratoga to look over
Dempsey," said the Silver Fox.
"They had agreed to be governed
by his decision. They picked a good
man?one of the best boxers that
ever live)!. He approached me at
the camp?for my confidental opinion.
"I gave it to him. I told him I
was doing as well as I could considering
that Dempsey was an old
guy. I was down-hearted. I did
everything but cry. Finally? I was
forced to tell him that ih my opinion
Dempsey would have to win within
five rounds?or 'good night.'
"Well?it worked. They went hook*
line and sinker on Sharkey. Best of
all, however, they let Sharkey in on
the 'inside' info?and Sharkey, too fell
for it. Really?all Sharkey's loud
talk was based on the fact that he
thought he was going into the ring
to meet a wheezy old gent. And ye
gods?he was meeting a fighter every
bit as strong as he was and with
dynamite in both hands.
"Now here is something that should
be of much interest to some of the
alleged experts?who even" yet are
trying to make their audiences believe
that it was1 all Sharkey up to
the knockout by Dempsey.
"Up to the time that Dempsey landed
that right and left in the seventh
round he was pulling his punches.
I will say for Jack Dempsey that despite
everything that happened in
earlier rounds, he followed the prearranged
battle plaps to the letter.
He Is one grand soldier and fighter.
"The idea was to encou.age Sharkey
in the belief that he fcou'.d afford
to trade wallops with Dempsey. And
did ft work?now I ask you?
"Dempsey told me at the end of
the fifth roiind that he felt Sharkey
going. He was oonvinced then that
victory >vas his and he whisper*, d to
me?r'l've got-him. He's ready to go.
I hope he don't take a dive. 1 want
to .knonck hirfi out!'
"Here's another point. Look hack
at Dempsey's last statement to the
press at weighing-in-time. He sai.i
he would win with two punches.
AVcll?he did. It was the right to the
solar plexus and left to the"chin ir
the* seventh round. Jack didn't saj
whert he would shoot acfoas thos<
two blows. Hut he knew and I knew
and there they are.
"And they were tlie only two real
punches he let go in the whole
fight.
"Can Jack Detnysey sock?"
"At the end of the first round
Sharkey told his handlers, "Why
Deiupsey can't break an egg.'
"Maybe not - inabe so 4.h|U down
deep in Jack Sharkey's heart he now
knows what real punching ia- and
from the receiving end."
I :?"
j Demp&ey's Fox Mind
Lec^^'Pizen" Flynn, (the Silver
Fox) chief trainer and advisor of
Jack Dempsey in his 7 round knockout
of Jack Sharkey, now tells how
Sharkey was foxed into slugging?
