Jack Dempsey Knocked Out By

that Fitzsmmons was the freak of the

his huge torso made 1t possible FOR
him to generate terrific punch.

I went to New Orleans to see the
fight and upon my arrival was asked
TO referee the affair. But I declined,
giving for nay reason the fact that
had bet on Titzsirnmons TO win.
The story of the Fitzsimmors-

Editors Note This is the thirteenth
of a series of articles which Mr.. Cor
-hett is writing concerning the pugi-
iistic life of Jack Dempsey the best
loved pugillst In the history of the
ring, The next instalment viii APP
pear tomorrow
The defeat OF Jack Dempsey by
George LeBlanche really broke the
heart OF the great "Nonpareil." The
blow which sent him down and out
was foul one and never afterward
was pNrmitted to be used in the ring
In view of this ruling, fandom was
almost a unit in declaring that Demp-
sey hadn't been beaten fairly and
therefore, still was champion! Le-
Blanche's claim to the title was al
most universally ignored and the
wonderful frishman continued to be
hailed everywhere as the king of the
middleweight division, There should
have been solace for Dempsey in that
but there wasn't.
Il was beaten--knocked uncon-
scious," Dempsey used to say when
friends tried to comfort him. 1T
doesn't matter how 1t happened. The
fact remains that | was sent down and
out for the count"
Jack was proud and sensitive. He
began to brood and from the day Lee
blanche beat him the warrior who
had engaged In sixty-two previous
fights without suffering defeat be-
gan to slip toward pugillstic Oblivion.
About six months after T.eBlanche
had whipped him. the "Nonpareii''
met Australian Billy Mccarthy The
battle was put on in San Francisco
ON February Is 1890 IT was q fast
and furious contest from start to I'M
tsh with Dempsey the winner after
twenty-eiRht rounds of fChting. But
the friends OF the "Nonparel' who
saw him In that contest sensed diff
ference between the Dempsey Of then
and the Dempsey of the days before
he had run afoul of I4eBlnnches fore
arm. Jack fought with Iess fearless
ness and less confidence Some of the
wonderful fighting spirit seemed to
have gone
Some months later Bob FitzsiEn-
mons. recently arrived from Austria
liza became u conspicuous figure in
the mddTeweight ranks Fight pro-
motors In New Orleans felt that a
meeting between the great Cornish
man and the American ring idol would
prove TO he an immense drawing card
And so they quickly framed a match
between the pair for January Ia. 1891.
Dempsey accepted the night with the
cornishman without ever having seen
him In action. When news came to
me that Jack was going 10 try con-
illusions with Fitzsimmons ! went to
his hackers and asked thein~--for
Jacks sake~-to call OFF the match
