DEMPSEY WAS POOR PROSPECT
WHEN HE FIRST ENTERED RING
NEW YORK, June 28.- (By Asao
dated Press. )->—Jack Dempsey, world
heavyweight boxing champion, who
defends hla title in a 15-round match
with loin Gibbons, of St. Paul, at
Shelby, Mont., July 4, was one of
the most crude and unpromising
fighters of his class wln n he made
his New York bow in 1915 in a no
decision contest with John Lester
Johnson, negra^
Then in his infancy as a fighter
and under the managerial wing of
Joint the Barber. Dempsey appeared
— a sorry prospect for the champion
ship. Johnson, also jfn fighting baby
hood. had just recovered from a
knockout from San Langford. So
they were evenly matched in size
and skill and the bout went the limit
of ten rounds.
Each claimed the unofficial decis
ion. Tlte negro’s blows, however,
were most effective, for a pair of
Dempsey’s ribs were damaged by
body blows, Dempsey at that time
proved to be a one-handed battler,
His defense was* poor and he swung
Itis right instead of shooting it
straight.
Among other engagements in his
first New York visit Dempsey met
Wild Bert Kenny, Andre Anderson,
and Dan Ketchell. Kenny and An
derson stayed the limit of ten rounds
each but Kenny fell in the fifth
round. Early in 1917, after a spries
of exploits by no means brilliant.
Dempsey was knocked out in one
round by Jim Flynn, tile Pueblo
Fireman. Various reports were ctr
ciliated about that fight and later!
Dempsey redeemed himself by dls
posing of Flynn in less than a round.
While Dempsey's early performanc
es were mediocre and suggestive of
anything but future greatness, he
developed into one of the greatest
heavyweights in ring history. He
severed his relations with John the
Barber and joined in a business deal j
1 with Jack Kearns, his present man
ager.
Dempsey then began to improve
his hitting style. Previously he had
punched only with his rigl t, using
the left solely for defense.
Kearns declared that he strapped
Dempsey, right arm to his side and
instrui ted him tor months in the use
of his left in attack.
It was with staggering left hooks
to the face that Dempsey sent Jess
Willard to the floor in the first
round of their championship engage
ment at Toledo, July 4, 1919. Wil
lard went to the floor seven times
in that round. It was a terrific left
hook to the stomach that finished
Fred Fulton, the Roihester, Minn,
plasterer at Harristown, N. J. in the
first round, and it was. a left hook
to the body that started Georges Car
pentier to the floor in the great 1921
spectacle at Jersey City.
A left to face or body is Dempsey’s
most frequent blow, yet his right to
jaw and ribs is unusually effective.
He shoots straight to the mark. His
blows, well-timed, travel only a short
distance, the tremendous power of
the shoulders being employed in ev
ery launching.
FELSCH AND RIS3ERG

in • my A. A. U. registration card
and avoid A. A. U. competition In the
future."
“I certainly hope to try for the
American Olympic team next year,"
Paddock said. “If 1 run well enough
to make it and the A. A. U. offers
opposition to my selection, because
of the fact that I competed in the
meet at Paris, 1 can only look for
support from the University of .South
ern California, the National Colleg
iate Association, of which it Ih a
member, the National Amateur Ath
letic Association and perhaps the
Southern Pacific Association of the
A. A. U.”
