test. As a wonder Dempsey don't
qualify. He is Of the exact type Of
John L Sullivan in his prime. but his
record don't start out like that OF
career Dempsey won very few bouts
by the Kayo route He showed no
cleverness and until after he was
knocked cold by jim Flynn IN one
round had a rotten defence
As TO him rising like p skyrOcket.
II must have been skyrOcket that

ties got him but few sandwiches His
eastern tour after be himself be-
lieved he was a boxer, took IL all out
OF his head. although all he met was
second raters- His punch didn't bring
home the bacon.
Not Clever.
To say that his rise TO fame IS
without a parallel in pugiNstic his
tory is an admission that a writer
knows but little OF pugilistic history.
His rise is anything but brilliant
when compared to that Of John l. SUI
livan. Jim Corbett, Terry McGoyern,
Eddie Hanlon. Kid Mccoy or Stanley
KctchelL Perhaps Dempsey's type
should not be compared with the type
OF Corbett and Mccoy. Because Of
the accomplishments Of the last
named two. in cieverness. there is
reason 10 class them as wonders. For
Dempsey there is no such reason
Even compared with battlers OF his
own type his accomplishment show
UP very dim as compared TO those OF
lIcGovern and KetchelL At the age
Of Il Eddie Hanlon was IN champion
ship class having well earned the dis
tinctiOn Of being a wonder at an age
six years less than that at which
Dempsey came into prominence. Last.
but by no means least. all OF the
above mentioned champions disputed
with opponents Of the first class
while Dempsey has, met none OF that
kind because boxers Of the first mag
nitude. with the exception Of Demp-
sey himself. are entirely lacking in
his class today.
Deserves Great Credit.
Where Dempsey deserves the
greatest credit but little has been
given him. When he invaded the east
and discovered he was but a poor sec
ond rater and after he was knocked
out by Jim Flynn. he went into eX-
lie and hard work. Instead OF being
discouraged when ne discovered tnaI
he was a second rater without real
knockout punch and with such poor
defence that even Jim Flynn could
land on his jaw. Dempsey quietly
went 10 work and remedied his
weaknesses. He met the best he
could find on the Pacific coast in
short bouts and gave his attention
largely 10 perfecting his defence He
practiced continually. He beat heavy
punching baEs-not now and then, but
every day-until his punch was a man
killer
All this was done IN the dark while
the public didn't see him After he
defeated gawl1y Fred they say he is
a wonder and quote Dempsey as say
ing that a fighter is born and not
made. yet the fact remains that he
wasn't very well born as a fighter IN
til he was made" during that period
Of hard work after Flynn put him
out They say that Jack has said that
fighting is just with you like red
hair or freckles." Where was his
fight. then. when Jim Flynn got after
him? II didn't stick as close to him
