born in Colorado twenty-four years
ago.
While still youngater lie went to
work N the mines, and between the
work and the hcalthful climate of the
state he developed marvellous ply
slque. While scrapping around the
mines he gained a reputation in a
ring. He knocked out King Hancock
in one round, which gave him consid-
erabie prestige and he quit work to
take up the fighting game.
Little Is known Of his early set-tos,
except that most Of them he won in
short order. While he possessed NO
great skill in the boxing art and knew
but little about the scientific end of the
game, he did have powerful and
crushing punch which, when landed
staggered his opponent. This, coupled

Jack Downey, Western middle
weight, handed Dempsey his first re-
verse, outpointing him in four-round
bout. In return match Dempsey
knocked out Downey in two rounds. He
then began to take on tougher op-
ponents, one Of these being Joe Bonds,
fighter Of some repute in the West.
Dempsey outpointed Bonds in ten
round bout and then set out for the
East.
Arriving In New York, Dempsey
found difficulty in obtainins tights
which paid money. One night at the
Fairmount Club, in The Bronx, the
challenger of Jess Willard got his
chance whom Big Andre Anderson's op-
ponent failed to show up. After much
pleading, Jack got the rnanagement's
consent to engage the big fellow.
Although knocked down time and
again, the fiery Westerter stayed with

ly rose to prominence by the manner
in which he slugged his opponents into
dreamiand.
John Reisler took Dempsey in tow
at this time, but managed him only
short while when Jack grew disgruntled
and jumped back to the West. Begin
ming in 1917, Dempsey began to dis
play real form. He put opponents away
as rapidly &s he could take them on.

became the sensation of the day in

mere ne Is the Champion OF the
world meeting q man who is six inches
shorter in stature and nearly fifty
pounds lighter in weight. Six months
ago as champion he was considered
invincible, unbeatable and all the bally
rest OF 1t. Yet within the last few
days as the experts, critics, trainers,
writer's, psychologists, old fighters and
camp followers have been drifting in,
three from every four have given vent
to one remark after watching both
men train: Dempsey will peel his
hide off in three or four rounds"
Willard figured some timc ago that
he would be an overwhelming favorite,
that nine experts out of ten would be
picking him to win and that the odds
would be at least 2 to his way. He
drew his first shock when the majority
of the early arrivals began to pick
Dempsey. And then, as the vote against
him began to grow and grow, you could
see that it was beginning to rankle and
burn deep.
Wizards Pride Nicked
His pride as champion was nicked in
more than one vulnerable spot, and so
to-day he is burning up with the desire
to show up the critics and the experts
blimp ready TO be punctuyed by a
youngster who Was unknown two years
ago; by man who was 20-year old
tramp when he vas dronping Jack
johnson at Havana four ears ago.
This feeling may add a considerable
amount Of impetus to Wizards
punches. It should send him in with
far keener desire to win, and win as
quickly as he can.
To beat Dempsey in two or three
rounds would be the greatest answer
he could fling back at his detractors,
the sweetest revenge he could ever
hope to know. But suppose Dempsey
is a tougher man to stop than he now
may work still another way. He may
then begin to think, "Mavbe these
birds are right. Maybe they know
something"
II three people out Of every four
you meet tell you that you are looking
badly the day soon comes when YOU
begin to believe it. With three critics
out of every four who have seen both
work saying day after day that Demp-
sey has pipe, Willard is confronted
with conflicting emotions-frst, the
desire to show them up; second, the
inner belief or hunch that there may
be something in what they say, the
latter being sub-conscious affair thai
has never found expression in any OF
MS statements. But Il is bound to be
there, just the same.
VIII Not pull" Punches
When nearly every one in sight be-
gins to. say certain thing, even the
party involved begins to believe it.
Deep down within his ponderous sys-
tenn Willard had more than one
thought tonight about the possibility
of his defeat-not so much because
he figured he was slipping or because
he thought Dempsey to be any marvel,
but day in and day out for over two
weeks three men out OF every four

the belief that Dempsey was the bet

undoubtedly be an added incentive, anc

that there has not been an excess of
