/ The news that George La Blanche. the
I Marine. sole conpueror OF iack dempsey, had
| been defeated in fair ring fight in Butte.
! Mont. by q rank outsider named George Kess.
ler surprised the sports OF this city as much as
/ would fash OF lightning out OF clear sky.
. No one hereabouts knows anything about
! kessler and many think that perhaps the
! Marine was half hUoZy when he tackled him.
! The telegraphed report OF the fight says that
! La Blanche's friends claim that he was not In
proper condition. but makes no allegation
! OF his being under the influence OF LIQUOR. and
there would certainly be such an allegation II
there was any warrant for 1t. Kesser must be
good one, for he not only stopped La
Blanches rushes. but ou,fought him at every
point until he virtually had him at his
mercy. Then. 10 prevent the disgrace Of
| being knocked out and with the hope
| OF breaking ur the fight in general
| row. the Marine deliberately kicked his man In
| the groin. The referee was prompt and manly.
| and at once did his duty BY awarding the vio-
tory to kosser. The resul, Of this contest goes
far toward proving what Jack Dempsey has
always said, that the Marine is a Quitter, and
| not dead game man John Donaldson, who
seconded the Marine in his fght with the Nom
pareil told me in san Francisco that after the
fifteenth round had been fought La Blanche
| said: " can't do anything with this man. See
| II he won't give me 81 800, and III give in"
| According to Donaldson. the proposition was
made TO Dempsey aud his friends and was BY
them scorntully spurned. Eventually chance
| blow settled Dempsey. That La Blanche knew
that his victory was nuke has been proven
conclusiveiy BY the lact that he has since stood
