THAT TERRIBLE BLOW.
How Dempsey Acted when the Marin
Laid Him Lew.

How Dempsey Acted when the Marine
Laid Him Low.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. D The blow
which sent Dempsey to the door in the
thirty second round last night and lost him
the fight with La Blanche, was q terrific
right-hand swing, which landed square on
the NonpAreiPs nose. The champion Of
fifty battles fell like a shot, striking fiat on
his fAce and lay there limp and
bleeding. He rose on TO his hands and
knees, but went down helpless. Then he
staggered to his feet with an effort, but
had 10 8 sek the ropes and hang there. Ten
seconds passed and LaBlanche had paid
back his old score and won a purse Of
$1,000. As soon as Dempsey got his senses
he staggered over TO the Marines corner
and asked implOringly If he would give
him another fight, and upon receiving an
assent seemed 20 recover his equilibrium
and shook hands with the winner.
"LsBlanche, said friend, was not a
chance blow He was not punished badly,
nor distressed. He SAID after his last de
feat by Dempsey he determined he would
never rest until he wiped it out, now he
was happy"
Dempsey took his defeat Sorely, but de-
rived consolation from the fact that La
Blanche had promised him another fight
He had the fight in hand and thought he
would make 10 a waiting one He saw the
tremendous blow coming, but could not
get away from il. He supposed he bad
misJudged his adversary's condition and
was careless.
