KetcheIS Famous Shift
Brings Dempsey Near CrO,Uf,
DEMPsEYs KNOCKouTs.

Jack Dempsey cannot claim the
heavyweight championship OF the
world-so much the worse-because
Jess Willard, virtually retired, refuses
10 announce his retirement and Is SIN
TO all intents and purposes champion.
But a title is an empty thing unless
its owner does something 10 make II
worth something, and the fact hat
Jack Dempsey Is the greatest heavy
weight OF the present time somewhat
Offsets the fact that the title is held by
Willard.
Perhaps the greatest surprise ever
dealt the boxing public was the 23-
second knockout Of Fred Fulton by
Jack Dempsey.
Dempsey had lots Of friends but the
majority Of the talent was lined up
with the Minnesota plasterer. but even
the most ardent Dempsey supporter did
not believe Dempsey could manhandle
Ferocious Fred in less than a round,
particularly when II IS considered that
S-ounce gloves were used in the bout.
To the old-tlmer, Dempsey Is a mix
ture Of Bob Fitzsimmons and Stanley
Ketchell.
A ringslde account Of the Dempsey
Fulton fight the other night seems
strangely familiar 10 those who watch
ed the big fellows OF other days.
For instance:
Dempsey came in wide open and
tented with his left TO the body, but
as Fulton dropped his arms 10 ward
of the punch Dempsey made a light
ming shift and drove a terrific right hand
