DEMPSEY SHIFTS MUCH
LIKE STANLEY KETCHEL

Jack Dempsey cannot claim the
heavyweight championship of the
world-so much the worse-because
Jess Willard, virtually retired, re-
fuses to his retirement and
is still to all intents and purposes
champion.
But q title is an empty thing I'M
less its owner does something to
make It worth something and the
fact that Jack Dempsey is the great
est heavyweight 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
twenty-three-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 sup
porter did not believe Dempsey could
manhandle Ferocious Fred in less
than a round. particularly when 1t is
considered that eight-ounce gloves
were used in the bout.
To the old-timer Dempsey is q
mixture of Bob Fftzsimmons and
Stanley Ketchell.
A ringside account of the Demp-
sey-Fulton fight the other night
seems strangely familiar to those who
watched the big fellows OF otner
days.
For instance:
Dempsey came in wide open
and tented with his left to n
body, u as Fulton dropped his
arms to ward of the punch
Dempsey made a lightning shift
and drove a terrific right hand to
the ribsi"
This from a San Francisco paper
late in 1909:
"Ketchel rushed at johnson,
wide open. He tented Tor the
negro's stomach and when john
son dropped his guard ketchei
shifted with lightning swfffness
and drove his right to jaw, John
son going to the floor for the
count of nine"
There has been a little post bellum
talk of Fulton quitting.
One thing is certain. If Fulton
laid down after he had been knocked
to the floor it was because he knew
that he could not weather through
the remaining two and a half min
utes of the round. Fulton has never
been noted for courage, but, being
recognized as the leading heavy
weight champion aspirant in the
world, would not have laid down
unless he knew he was hopelessly
beaten.

BOXERS SHOULD
HEED REFEREE
Average Third Man in Ring
Usually Forced to Act
Like Contestant.

Why do boxers clinch? Sounds
like a foolish question at first glance.
But it isn't-not by a long shot. A
missed blow or swing may possibly
lead to a fraternal gathering of arms
and neck. At other times contestants
clinch voluntarily, not for relief or
wind, but to kill" time-stall, in
other words. The well versed boxing
fan can distinguish between the two.
In any event, clinching Is n of
the distractful features of the sport.
1t provides quite the opposite of ac-
ton, and the fans crave action. Fur
thermore, it adds a needless load for
the shoulders OF the referee. And
that is the leading detriment. Com
menting on the connection between
the referee and two clinching fight
ers, a leading Elizabeth sports writ
er who witnessed the Fleming Martin
bout in this city Monday night, mas
the following to say:
1t has probably occurred often to
many students of boxing that there
is something radically wrong with
the present System of r~efereeing, or,
more properly, the rules governing
the same, in this country. Those
who were privileged to see the recent
star bout of the Lotos Clubs show in
Perth Amboy must have had this
conclusion driven home, IL 1t had
never been brought there before. In
this contest the Elizabeth oh1ciai'
Howard Smith, was absolutely ex-
hausted from trying to pry the prin-
cipals away from each other, their
clinches marring a bout which was
well contested in spots. The point Is:
Why was 1T necessary for Referee
Smith to pull and tug n fight with
the two men in an effort to persuade
them to do what they were up there
in the ring for?
1t should not be necessary for the
referee to ever use his hands on the
two contestants in a boxing contest,
but the condition has become so COM
mon that fighters, referees and box
ing fans are all accustomed to it. In
England it is possible for the referee
to sit outside the roped square, mere
" because boxers are required to
break at the call of the third man.
In baseball a unn is u when
he IL ruled out. He doesn't have to
be dragged away from the base by
sheer force.
The referees of the present day are
certainly not to blame for conditions
which have now long existed. How
ard Smith was to be commended
rather thar censured for his work at
Perth Amboy. The question is now
up to the boxing boards of the coun-
try. !.
The Perth Amboy contest suffered
at the hands of the crowd, which
frequently showed its disapproval by
kissing. Not only did the fighters
refuse to break at the call of the
official. but they wrestled with each
other in the middle of the ring. while
Smith was trying to do what the ring
game has thrust upon him as duty"
in prying them apart.
It should be possible to secure
breaks" at the call of the referee,
and the present day plan of wrestling
with the men in the ring ought to be
eliminated. A bettering of conditions
is not only due the boxing public, but
the men needing a change most-the
referees.

JACKSON
IS A VETERAN
English WeIter's Manager Ex-
plains Status To Appear
Here Soon.

Buddy Jackson, the clever English
w~elterweight who is known to local
fans, is a veteran of three years In
the French trenches, according to his
manager, w. ]. Baird. This fact be-
came known recently in the course
of a statement TO the newspapers OF
the county anent Jackson's status. 1t
was issued IN answer to h query OF
why jackson was not in the English
army.
When the question was popped to
Baird here yesterday he took from
his coat pocket the following clipping
of a story published in a New Bruins
wick newspaper:
jackson served with a Scotch roop
formerly. He was in the military
service five years, according to Baird,
three of which were spent In the
trenches OF France. He received an
honorable discharge from the army
because of shrapnel wounds In the
leg.
At present he is employed at one
of the large government shipbuilding
yards along the Delaware. He keeps
himself in condition by boxing for
the benefit of the employees of the
shipbuilding company every Saturday
afternoon. He also takes a hand In
playing soccer.
Manager Baird made the following
statement In regard to Jackson's ac-
t~ivities. IT intend to bring Jackson 10
New Brunswick and have him en-
ployed at the Wright-Martin plant In
the day, so that he can keep busy In
the evenings at the boxing clubs In
this part OF Jersey.
II will match him to meet some
good boys at the Lotos s. C.. In Perth
Amboy, the bout to take place two
weeks from Monday and from then
we are going right up the line and
clean the welterweights up until we
can demand a bout with TED Lewis
for the championship.
jackson Is an ideal type OF a
champion. Not only is he an exceed
ingly clever ring general, but he has
terrific power behind his blows. In
that respect he reminds me OF the
welters Of a few years back. like mys-
terious Bully smith, Matty Mathews.
Honey Melody and RUDE Ferns
Those who were fortunate to wit
ness the last battle between Billy
Smith and Matty Mathewson. which
was one OF the classics OF the ring,
will appreciate the truth of my
theory when I say that the two lead
ing wsiteFs OF today r inferior
punchers TO both OF these men, while
jackson. In my opinion. can hit a.
hard as either m OF these OLD
champs.
In every bout Jackson has en-
gaxed in since he arrived In this
country he has been the favorite with
the fans. He has won their favor
and applause by his clear tactics.
With AL he is possessed with extreme
aggressiveness.
jackson Is a big drawing card for
any club. and his services are even
now very much in demand"

Somehow a screw is loose some

State Boxing Commission. Either
that or the promoters Of h state
