SAN Francisco, CAL, Aug. 2S.-The
last rounds in the great fight of yesterday
may be summed up as follows:
Several vicious blows by Dempsey were
the only features of the twenty-seventh
round and IN the following rounds Marine
did little but stand up Wen under fierce
smuggling he received in the neck.
In the thiTtieth round however, he
gave Dempsey a terrific right handler on
the chest which seemed to stagger the
latter, but he recovered and shOwered
half dozen blows on the Marine 5 head.
The thirty-frs round was exceedingly
tame, but when the men came up for the
thirty-second Dempsey attempted to
force matters. He was by TAR the fresher
of the two and with few exceptions had
the fight all his own way up to this time
He forced La Blanche into q corner and.
pounded him numerically. The lat <
ter received staggering blows on
his head and neck but stood
up well. The men gradually worked to
the center of the ring, and while Demp-
sey still continued to find LaBlanche's
neck, the latter whirled around suddenly
and caught Dempsey a terrific blow on
the jaw, and the NOnparieI went down
like a shot He fell heavily upon his
face and blood spurted out upon the floor
of the ring. Ten seconds went by amid
intense excitement. Dempsey struggled
bravely to rise, but before he reached his
feet time had expired and the referee
| awarded the fight to LaBlanche. The
sudden termination of the fight was a
surprise to every man in the club room.
One blow lost Dempsey the battle at
time when it seemed the Marine was in
his power.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Aug. 2S.-The
blow which sent Jack Dempsey to the
floor in the thIrty-second rounGlast night
and lost him the battle with George La
Blanche, was a terrific right hand swing,
which landed squarely on the Nonpareil' 5
nose The champion of fifty battles fell
like he was shot, striking fat on his face
and lay there limp and bleeding. He
rose twice 10 his hands and knees, ana
the blood poured on the floor. He went
down helpless and then rose again, daZed
and bewildered. One hand went up as II
appealing to the referee, and then he
| staggered to his feet with a game effort,
! but had to seek the ropes to keep his feet,
| and hung there.
| Ten seconds had passed ana LaBlanche
| had paid back an old scoF6f and won
/ $4,000. He stood in his corner smiling.

| librium when he was sure of return
| battle, and went over and shook hands
! with the winner again.
| Both principles retired to their dress

| Blanche said to group Of friends
| ''They call it a chance blow but 1 had
