seconds, towel-swingers and assistant
advisers swarmed into the ring with
them. frankie is the boy who MADE
such a great showing in recent nght
at San Pedro, while Dempsey Is a
tattooed boy whom Bill Hart picked
up in the hope of making a champion

Both were extremely awkward in
their milling, but more Wiling pair
OF ough-and-tumble fighters never

an uproar with their wild swings ana
on two or three occasions IT seemed
that the bout would end with knock

first round and fought slower In the
second. Dempsey waited until the
round was half over before he got real
busy and then he sailed in and ham

lefts that evened up the round for him.
The end came in the third round.
when Frankie caught Dempsey with
a left hook to the chin and right and
left to the jaw, sending Dempsey to
the mat for the full count. frankie
administered severe punishment In this
round and Dempsey seemed unable TO
make any effective return. The knock
out did not bear the genuine label and
1t appeared to be case of gutter
who was unwilling to take more pun
ishment in an uphill battle.
