count” from 12 to 14 seconds but it’s
| explanation lay in the fact Illinois
j boxing rules compel a fighter, scor
ing a knock-down, to go to his corner
before the count starts. Dempsey’s
slowness in backing off to his corner
accounted for the late start of the
count.
I
TUNNEY GROGGY, ROPES
Tunney took the count with his
left hand holding onto the ropes. He
was groggy and in a bad way but
fully conscious. Had the count starr
ed sooner he probably would have
been able to regain his feet bu*;
might have been wobblier and an
easier target. As it wras he had the
advantage of a few seconds added to
collect his faculties and ward off
Dempsey's attack.
A MIGHTY THRONG
The mightiest throng in sporting
history, estimated at 150,000, paid
$2,800,000 to witness the gladiators.
TUNNEY BETTER MAN
The victory unquestionably went
to the better man who was a craftier
boxer, a faster and stronger fighter.
The seventh round knock-down was
the closest call Tunney ev^r had;
throughout the first half of the bat
tle Tunney boxed cooly, cautiously
shooting only when he saw a target;
shooting accurately, while Dempsey
was always going in *o fi^d himself
brought up, time after time by jolt
ing rights to the head or s^ art ' left
:hi Onc« cr twice Jack lashed out
wnh smashing body blows that hurt
..u 'hampion -hir there was little
warning o' wha* was impending
'' en Dempsey c’iddenly launched a
ous right to head in the sev
enth. Perhaps Tunney was oil guard
for his foe had aimed his attack pre
viously at the body. Dempsey, at any
rate, connected with a series
of staggering smashes, rights to the
jaw, which sent Tunney to fV- ropes
sagging at the knees. He was on his
way down when a left hook cliipped
him and completed the job. Dempsey,
it seemed, had shot his big bolt and
seemed slower and weaker during
the last three rounds while Tunney
ripped and slashed him mercilessly.
A. P, PRESS SCORE
There was no murmer of protest
when the referee and two judges an
nounced their unanimous decision.
The Associated Press score sheet
Tunney seven rounds and Dempsey
three, namely, the third, sixth and
seventh. Through the first half of
the fight the champion appeared to
pile up a substantial margin on points
as he out-bxed, out-stepped and out
hit the bobbing, weaving challenger.
Dempsey uncorked his first flash of
power in the third, staggering Tun
ney with a sweeping right to the
head, a variation from the attack
that had been chiefly confined to
the body. Finally Jack leaped in
and lashed Tunney about the head |
again, but now the champion’s head
had cleared and Tunney staggered
Dempsey with a smashing right
hander. In the fourth, a blow that
landed with roughing effect, sent
Jack reeling back to his corner.
Dempsey put on another spurt in
the sixth, hurling Tunney back with
long rights to the jaw that hurt the
champion. Gene fought back, but
cautiously, as he sensed Jack "was
about to make his big bid. It did
not come until the seventh and it
almost caused the champion’s finish,
but It marked the end of Dempsey’s
real threat. Once or twice after
wards Jack looked dangerous, but
the spark was gone as he was the
PUN WINTER SPORTS
CENTER IN MICHIGAN
LANSING, Mich., Sept. 23. (#)—!
Northern Michigan plans to bid
against Lake Placid and the resorts
of Switzerland for the patronage of
those who enjoy winter sports.
The State has joined forces with a
group of individuals organized into
the Michigan Winter Sports Associa
tion. The plan contemplates uniform
facilities for skiing, tobogganing, skat
ing and coasting in many of the cities
and towns along the coast of the Great
Lakes, State parks will be used in
some instances.
Sponsors of the movement claim j
northern Michigan has climate, hills |

target for right and left hooks for
the rest of the three rounds. Demp
sey’s spirit was always willing and
the old fighting flame wasn’t alto
gether extinguished, but it burned
i
ionly feebly at the end.
FOUGHT BETTER
Tunney said “For the first time in
my life I’ve been knocked completely
off my feet. Dempsey did it and I
can’t say I enjoyed the sensation. I
doubt if it will ever happen again.
Dempsey fought much better than he
did at Philadelphia. He was much
tougher and punched cleaner, harder
and faster on his feet”. Tunney was
unmarked at the end of the bout.
Dempsey, with an old cut opened
over his right eye, refused to make
the charge that Tunney was given
the benefit of a long count, but said,
“If Gene got the benefit of that bieak
it was one of the breaks of the game
that was all.”
Leo Flynn, Dempsey’s manager said
“We had three watches in our cor
ner and every one showed that Tun
ney was 'down for 15 seconds. Tun
ney was knocked out. There was no
question about it”.
