 NEW ORLEANS s:-Fitzsimmons knock ed Dempsey out in the 18th round. The great middle-weight fight between Jack Dempsey and Maurice Fitzsim- mons occurred at the Olymphia Club tonight and resulted in victory for the New Zealander Fitzsimmons, and there was hardly time during the IS rounds when he did not seem to be a sure winner In the first round Fitz- simmons followed Dempsey around the rng and got in one with his right, Dempsey got in two lefts and avoided the right by ducking. It was evident that Dempsey was going to make waiting fight. In the second round Fitzsimmons landed right and left on Dempseys' head and Dempsey kept away. There was then some exchange, Dempsey getting in two good body blows and he was then knocked against the ropes by right handler on the head. In the third round Demp- sey was still running away and laugh ing, Fitzsimmons knocked him down and chased him all over the ring, Dempsey getting groggy. In the fourth round Dempsey seemed to re- cover and scored with both left and right, but Fitzsimmons soon took the aggressive again. The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth rounds were all in Fitzsiminon's favor, Dempsey oc- casionally landed, but Fitzsimmon forced the fighting, Dempsey was knocked down again in the seventh and in the eighth he was bleeding badly. In the ninth round Fitzsim- mons continued to do rushing, Jack occasionally recovered and got in good left handlers on the face and body, but Fitzsimmon's only smiled and kept after his man mercilessly, battering him badly, Dempsey was very weak in the tenth round. He ducked from the blows and held one of Fitzsimmon's hands is his, then there were cries of foul but the claim was not allowed. In the elevnth round Jack was growing still weaker, his face was bloody and a right handler sent him down, he was dazed and bleeding and feebly stagger- ed towards Fitzsimmons, he was knocked down again, but stood up, some one in his corner threw up a sponge. but he would not have it, he staggered towards Fitzsimmon's and the latter foored him as the round closed. In the twelvth round Damp- sey was knocked down three times, his seconds wanted him to give up but he insisted upon fighting, the gong saved him from being knocked out, but when it so lnded for the next round Fitzsimmon's walked over to Dempseys corner and punched him out, Jack was not able to rise and the fight was gwen to the New Zealander amid the greatest excitement. Demp- sey was badly, disfgured.
