Not Their E,irst Fight.

All day yesterday and up to late last night
the one theme of conversation among the
sports was the Dempsey Marine fight and,
while the majority of the knowing ones ex-
pressed themselves as confident that Jack
would win, there was goodly number who
considered the Marines chances of victory
very good, and some considerable money at
the odds of two to one was laid at the Dia-
mond last night to this effect.
This was not the first meeting of the two
men. They fought most desperate battle
little over three years ago, at Larchmont,
on Long Island Sound, Dempsey knocking
the Marine out in the thirteenth round. 1t
was Queepsberry fight, but the bloodiest
Blanche held his own IN great form for seven
tS two eiSa' of which, lHdnaS he In had one mueh or
the best of the Nonpareil, but in the tenth
round the tide of battle turned in Jacks
favor. In this round, IN breaking away from
slinch, Dempsey landed his right in on LIE
Blanche's jaw, knocking him off his feet and
all but knocking him out. The Marines sec
onds were loud in their claims of foul, but
this the referee would not allow, but ordered
the men to go on and fight it out, and IN the
thirteenth round LIE Blanche succumbed,
being literally cut to pieces and iabbed
into insensibility. LIE Blanche in
this fight was clearly outgener-
tion, and bigger and stronger than he will
ever be again in his life. BY clever ducking
and lodging Dempsey won the fight. The
Marine went into it like a mad bull and un
dertook to rush the wiry Nonpareil off the
face of the earth, but every rush was met
with sallles of rights and lefts that soon
knocked the life out of the ferocious Marine
Although Dempsey was whipped, he does
not lose the middleweight championship. as
the fight did not take place under the requi-
site conditions.

lie Blanche Has His Revenge.

SAN FRANCISCO, August ~ Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Great interest was
taken to o.night in the fight between Jack
Dempsey and La Blanche, "The Marine"
which occurred under the auspices of the
California Athletic club. Four thousand
persons witnessed the set-to.
Hiram Cook acted as referee.
The betting for several days has been IN
Dempsey's favor. Both men entered the
ring in fine condition, Dempsey weighing 81
and La Blanche 16l pounds.
Time was called at 9:35.
The Marine forced the fighting in the
early part of the contest and several sharp
blows were exchanged.
In the fifth round the Marine cliuched and
threw Dempsey to the floor amid storm of
Kisses and applause. Sharp in fighting fol-
lowed.
In the sixth he lifted Dempsey on his hip
and tried to throw him, following this with
several rushes and accomplishing little.
In the ninth La Blanche clinched and
threw Dempsey again amidst cries of "foul."
During La Blanches rushes in the tenth
Dempsey struck him two staggering blows
on the jaw.
After the gong had rung for the close of
face and retired to his corner. Dempsey
walked over to him and landed hard one on
the Marines neck which made the latter
groggy.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth Dempsey
got IN several had ones on the Marines jaw
and chest and the Marine seemed unsteady.
In the sixteenth LaBlanche resumed his
rushing tactics, but after a clinch Dempsey
landed with awful force on his nose. He
repeated some of these staggerers in the
seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth,
in the latter round gaming the frat knock
down of the fight by a tremendous blow on
the Marines neck.
Dempsey continued to pursue his aggres-
sive tactics. and IN the twenty third round
the Marine was showing the effects of his
punishment. During the clinch, however,
he pounded Dempsey hard on the ribs. In
the twenty-sixth Dempsey forced his op-
ponent into his corner and pounded him in
the neck. La Blanche staggered like a
drunken man. Before the close of the
round, however, he recovered astonishlngly
and caught Dempsey hard. on the neck.
Dempsey was knocked out in the thirty
second round.

LONDON, August Ell New York Herald
Cablc-Special to The BEE. l-London's great
strike has received fresh impulse, this
time from the ranks of the coal porters aud
wagon men. Nearly every wharf In North
London, where is located the great center Of
the coal trade, is affected. the men demand
ing an increase of penny per ton for load
ing up, and pence per ton for landing.
Many of the firms express willingness to
accede to the demands of the men, but the lat
ter refuse to return to work until tho whole
of the employers have given in. London's
great carting agen cies are threatened, the van
drivers expressing determination to go out
before the end of the week. There appears
to be universal demand for an increase OF
wages and almost every trade Is seizing the
present opportunity to present its demand.
The dock laborers, with whom the strike
originated, still remain firm aud have re-
ceived many additions TO their ranks. They
have also perfected a system of pickets, who
are on duty day and night at the dock gates,
railway stations in the river and along the
streets, who intercept and generally bring
over the laborers brought fromthe provinces
by the dock authorities to assist in unloading G
ships. Never before has the business of the
great port of London been In such aparalyzed
condition as il is to-day. Cargoes of meat
from Australia and fruit and eggs from the
continent are rotting in ship holds.
Interviews were held yesterday between
the representatives of the men and the en-
ployers, but no satisfactory settlement was
obtained, Ship owners having contracts to
carry mails are experiencing great difficulty
in getting boats away, and one ship is being
secretly loaded by the officers and crew oil

Jumped up 90 to 40 per cent.
