The Greatest welter-weight..

Billy Maiden says that Jack Demp-

fighter that ever lived. Says he:
Dempsey. 10y the way, had hard
time learning how TO box. You know
he started out as wrestler. There
were not enough wrestlers TO keep
him busy. so he turned his attention

hard battle in my place for $50.
Sometimes he would have chance to
make S. n night at making two fights.
Dempsey got part of his style from
Charley Mitchell Just about the time
that Dempsey was coming out l
brought Mitchell TO this country TO
FIGHT John l.. sullivan. He used to go
an for what he could get at my place.
Dampsey was there every night and
saw Mitchell box. He caught on to
come of his leads and counters. and in
way copied his style. Corbett 5
cleyerness was, in measure, due TO
boxing with Dempsey. Jim told me
that he studied Dempsey's fighting and
tried TO COPY it. Mccoy has a touch

Corhett. He also utilizes points gain
~ from Tommy Ryan. Mccoy watch
ed all of them work and picked up a
good style that is very puZzling.s he
has some of the movement OF Demp-

points of his own. With more weight
he would be a hard man for any one
TO beat. If he picks up the weight he
