NonpareiPs fist against his jaw or body.
A terrific right-hander from Dempsey
on the Australians throat closed the
round.

his turning blow in this round, and
again caught Dempsey on the nose. He
made several savage lunges, but fell
short and received shOrt-arm smash
on the chin.
round Thirteenth-Dempsey aimed a
wicked blow for McCarthy's neck, but
the latter saved himself by neat duck.
An exchange of short arm blows and
several clinches followed. Mccarthy
tried hard to reach Dempsey's neck, but

jaw and chin.
THE NONPAREIL's HARD KNOCKS.
Round FOurteen-Dempsey landed a
swinging left-hander on McCarthy's
jaw, which he followed with a hard
one in the stomach, and another in the

the Australian over.
Round Fifteen-Dempsey led for Nc

Dempsey was not there.
Round Fifteen-This round closed
without any definite result.
Round SiXtcen-This was the liveliest
round up to this time. and when it closed
there were loud cheers for Dempsey.
He landed on the Australians body and
jaw abaut as he pleased. The latter's
eyes and cheeks began to show signs of
severe punishment,and when the round
closed he was evidently very groggy.
Round Seyenteen-Dempsey repeated
this punishment, and, though he stag
gered Mccarthy with the blows he
ralned on his neck, he was not able to
score a knockdown.

Dempsey again doubled Mccarthy
over in the twenty-fourth round by
savage right-hand stomach blow. but
when Mccarthy recovered, he reached
the back of Dempsey's neck with a
heavy right-hand swing.
up to the tWenty-eighth round the
damage was not sufficient to cause a
Knockout.
GAME TO THE END.
When the gong sounded for the
twenty-eighthround Mccarthy staggered
to the center of the ring and Dempsey
lmplOred him to give up. The widest
excitement prevailed all over the build
Ing. Cries of KNOCK him out, Jack, F"
and ''Give it up. Mccarthy" were heard
everywhere. The Australian still re-
fused to acknowledge himself defeated,
and Dempsey beat him into his corner
and sent him down in heap. He rose
again and leaned against the ropes
for support. Dempsey walked up to
finish him, but his compassion for the
pitiable object before him was too much
for the Nonpareil, so he stepped up to
the referee ana declared he had not the
heart to punish the man any further.
Then Paddy yGOrman, McCartliy's second,
broke into the ring and dragged his
principal over to his corner and refused
to permit him to stay IN the fight longer.
Dempsey was accordingly declared tile
winner amid loud cheers from the 2.OOO
men. who admired his compassion for
his game antagonist
