DEMPSEY WINS CHAMPIONSHIP IN THREE BLOODY ROUNDS.
TOLEDO, July 4 (Delayed in Transmission.,—in three bloody rounds,
in which he demonstrated complete mastery over his opponent. .Tack Dempsey,
challenger for the world’s heavyweight title, won the championship from
. Jess Willard this afternoon.
Tlie result of tlie contest was'never in doubt after the first minute of
the first round. Almost before the echoes* of tlie starting gong had died away,
Dempsey sent home a body blow from which Willard never recovered and
-followed it up by flooring the champion three times in rapid succession.
In the opinion of most of the sporting writers at the ringside the gong saved
Willard from utter defeat in the first round.
Again in the second and third rounds, the clang of the bell prevented
Willard receiving the final blow that would have ended Hie contest. Seven
times during tlie three rounds tlie figlitV-ndiired,Dempsey knocked the champion
down or threw him helpless against tin;, ropes, ‘meanwhile battering him
around tlie ring almost at will. Willard towered above Dempsey like a
lighthouse above a tug but he was totally unable to stand off the rushing
human battering ram confronting him. Willard acted like a sick man after
receiving Dempsey’s terrific punch to tlie body in the first round. The
champion appeared willing enough but his swings were feeble ami Dempsey
found no difficulty in landing where he pleased. Ilis straight punches were
few and inflicted no damage.
While Willard was flailing tlie air his relentless antagonist hammered
home blows like a great riveting machine until Willard was a mass of blood
end apparently helpless. Tlie utter one sidedness of tlie contest finally
aroused the pity of the great crowd and shouts of “Stop it!" arose from all
parts of the arena. Hundreds of men arose in their seats and yelled to tlie
referee to end the contest; many shouting; "Its murder!"
In tlie last round Dempsey .hammered Willard ummrcifnlly and almost;
without a return blow. Willard staggered about tlie ring covered with blood,!
dazed and helpless, covering himself up as best lie could from the rain of
blows hurled by his vicious antagonist. Only once in tlie last round did
Willard land a punishing blow. This was a bard uppercut which landed on
Dempsey’s jaw. Although the blow undoubtedly hurt, the challenger halted
not a moment and retaliated by sending in a left to the jaw that sent the
champion staggering to the ropes.
At the end of tlie round Willard appeared scarcely able to reach his
corner unassisted and his seconds ended the contest by throwing up the
sponge.
After being assisted to his dressing room. Willard acknowledged his
defeat and «al(l ho had no excuses to make. "Dempsey is the hardest punch
er I ever met." was the only comment offered regarding his antagonist.
"Dempsey asserted that the light was one of rhe easiest he has ever
