Reagan Their considered himself about
the finest thing In the fighting line tina,
had struck New York for a long time,
So he redoubled his efforts to secure a
fight with Dempsey and finally a match
was arranged. There was quite q bit OF
feeling between the two men. due mostly
to Reagan's constant efforts TO bel!ttle
Dempsey n to the stories he circulated
around about him.
The match was for a finish fight with
kid gloves under the old London prize
ring rules. The stake was $1,000 Q side,
the winner to succeed to the title Of
middleweight champion Of the world and
TO a the championship belt. This was
the fight in which Dempsey defended
under London rules the title and belt he
had won under Queensbury rules.
After two unsuccessful attempts the
fight was finally pulled off on Dec. IL
on the beach of a picnic grove up the
Sound. The night before the fight Demp-
sey. Reagan. the officials. the seconds
and about forty others travelled up the
Sound to the battle ground on a tug
boat. taking with them the parapher-
