New Sobriquet
DEMPSEY IN THIS CLASS
BY JAMES $. CAROLAN

One Round Hogan no longer enter
tains.
The latest one round sensation is
Willie jackson.
Glance through the records of the
present day ring performers and lind
any that puts more action into the first
round than the hard hitting New York
boy.
Show n more dangerous one round
hitter than this same Jackson. Two of
the best of the modern lghtweights hit
the canvas when his speedy right
cracked them on the chin.
Johnny Dundee was the first to make
the hasty departure, and he took such
a beauty on the jaw that he was out for
fifteen minutes.
Lew Tender also had the satisfaction
of knowing that One Round Willie could
reach his jaw with that crashing right.
Lew went down twice before he was
aware of what was going on.
Didn't See Punch
After that fight it will be recalled
Teudler admitted he didn't see that
punch coming.
"You cant block what you don't
see," were Tenders words in the dress
ling room shortly after his session with
Jackson at the ball park last month.

ing and n man who has trained many

considered Jackson one of the best one
round fighters the game ever produced
He also said that Eddie McGoorty and
Jack Dempsey belonged to this class.
jackson is the type of fighter" said
Lorman, "who puts all he has into that
first round. He doesn't wait to feel
the other fellow out, but just tears in
and tries to take the other guy by sur
prise.
Now, you take Leonard, Kilbane,
Mcfarland, Gibbons, Britton and the
other crafty fellows. You don't find
them pulling this stuff.
Study Style
'They fight defensive battle in the
early rounds. They wait and see what
the other fellow has, study his style
Thoroughly and once they have it solved
they take more liberties.
That is one reason for Leonard S
success. Have you noticed that he does
his best work in that last round? It's
good idea.
"Pnnnv then knows that if he does
get clipped he can last the round and
get the fight. Benny is one fighter who
uses his head to win and doesn't depend
upon his hands and feet entirely.
H. -.
ture Dempsey. He's a tearing in boy
and one very, very dangerous. He gives
so much in that first round that he
burns himself out for the remainder of
the fight"
Solved by Tender
Lew Ten6ler was aware Of this a
long time ago. A week before Tender q
first fight with jackson at the Olympia
two years ago he was asked what he
thought Of Jackson.
"If / get by that first round every
thing will be lovely" was Tenders re
ply. Even then Tender was aware OF
the Jackson first round danger. And
at that time the Jackson fight was the
first one of importance for the south
paw. That fight made Tender.
Jackson yet may land a bout will
Leonard. In the meantime he will plus
along, taking on any of the boys will
ing to meet him.
His next fi0ht is AGAINST Eddie Wal,
lace, the Brooklyn boy, at the Phils
Park Wednesday night. Following thi'
clash he hopes TO prove that he Il
capable of more than holding his owl
with Irish Patsy Cline, Dundee an,
eventually Leonard.
