SAN FRANCISCO. August 28.-The blow
which sent Jack Dempsey to the floor in
the thirty-second round last night and lost
rife right-hand swing, which landed
squarely on the Nonparei's nose. The
champion of 30 battles fell like q shot,
striking fat on his face and lay there limp
and bleeding. He rose twice to his hands
and knees and blood poured upon the floor.
He went down helpless and then rose again
a dazed and bewildered man. One hand
went up as if, appealing to the crowd or
referee, and then he staggered to his feet
with game effort, but had to seek the ropes
to keep his feet and hang there. Ten seconds
had passed and La Blanche had paid back the
old score and won s., 900. He stood in his cor
ner smiling.
As soon as he could get his senses Dempsey
staggered into La Blanche's corner fell upon
the victor's neck and asked imploringly:

THEY SHOOK HANDS.
Upon receiving an assent he tottered over to
one of the directors of the club and repeated:
Hell give me another fight; he'll give me an
other fight. You hear 1t. he'll give me another

librium when he was sure of a return battle,
and went over and shook hands with the win

dressing rooms at the close of the fight

DEFEAT BROKE HIM UP.
Dempsey took defeat sorely. When he
reached his dressing room he sat down on a
lounge and sat gazing at the floor. His nose
was double its usual size, and of mixed red and
blue tint. As physician stepped forward to
the examination of the fallen champion he
gave no sign of having seen him. Dempsey
shook his head mournfully and said: He will
never give me another show. 1 asked him if he
would. and he said yes. but am afraid he will
never let me have another CO." You were not
