The wonderful winning record of
Jack Dempsey continued unbroken
through 1888 He fought Ave battles
during that year and not one resulted
in a. defeat. making sixty-two straight
contests without d setback--a glorious
pugilistic achievement
The clever. shifty Dominick McCaf-
frey was one of Dempsey's victims I'm
1888. The tight was put on In Jersey
city. There was much i'll feeling be-
tween the two men and the POSSIBLE

crowd. However, as the men stepped

lowed that the affair must he "a
scientific contestant nothing more -
So the two men had TO content them
selves with little more than a spar

outpointed his rival by a wide margin

Then came Dempsey's battle with

years old was really in retirement
at the time. Donovan, in his hey-dey
