THE deadly knockout-the terror OF
all the knights of the ring.

all the knights of the ring.
Every'man who makes the ring game
business knows that he is going to
get it" some time. Just when this is
they do not know. But the knockout is
always feared.
The percentage of boys who quit the
game after taking the ten count is much
greater than the number who return to
action. after tasting of the dreaded
feared X. O.
Glancing through the long records Of
hundreds of knights OF the ring. few
have been found to come back. Stanley
Ketchcl did the unexpected when. after
taking the count at the hands of Billy
Papke, he came back a short time later
and annexed the middleweight crown
by stopping Papke. This does not hap
pen often.
Leonard Came Back
Eddie O'Keefe and Eddie Moy came
back after being stopped by Johnny
Kilbanc. but they never were the same.
Patsy Cline and Willie Jackson are
two who did some brilliant work after
taking the count. Kilbane stopped
Cline in two rounds and jackson in
FIVE. But both lads were just begin :
ming when nailed by the crafty Kilbane.
Benny Leonard passed out three
times-twice at the hands of frankie
Fleming and once by Joe Shugrue.
Leonard was virtually n novice when
he walked into these veterans. Benny
is one comeback who is a distinct
success.
! How about George Chaney? He is
one of the rarest cases on record. A
Knockout person himself. lad who
has handed out more severe beatings
than any other ring artist this same
CLANCY himself twice has been the vic
tim Of the dreaded x. q.
CLANCY Had Class
When Kilbane knocked out CLANCY
in three rounds few years. ago a;
Cedar Point, O.. the Baltimore X. o.
king was going at his best. CLANCY
passed out so early that he failed tc
take a real beating. He came back
and came back strong
Clancy did not allow this reverse tc
annoy him. He continued to meet the
best, facing Dundee, Delaney. Tender
and all the boys willing to take him on.
His greatest piece of work was against
Lew Tender at the National last Sep
ltember.
That was great fight CLANCY
went down for the count of nine in the
third round. Few expected him to sur
vive the battle. And what did George
do? He not only revived hurriedly and
showed such strength and hitting power
that he had Tender out standing up in
the fourth round. That knockdowr
alone deprived CLANCY of winning.
Passed Out Hurriedly
CLANCY went good all winter He
never looked better. Then followed that
second meeting with TendTer. CLANCY
never had a chance to show his class
Tender fiattened him in one minute
| ana Twelve SECONDS. SHaneN looh Ht
punishment. he passed out quietly.
CLANCY claims it does more harm to
fighter to take beating than ia
suffer an early knockout. Neither OF
Chaney's cases were like what hap
pened to Willard The big Kansar
was almost annihilated in ONE round
He was an open target and faced n
terrific hitter. Willard is not likely tC
come back.
Chaney, through his manager. has
asked for another meeting with Tend
lpr. We have heard nothing from
Willard headquarters about another
session with Dempsey.
Tiplitz the Test
CLANCY. however, must prove that h'
is not through. He meets Joe Tiplit'
at Shibe Park on Monday night. Tiplit2
boxes every dag with Lew Tender
Tiplitz has learned much from the greai
,southpaw. II Tiplitz beats CLANCY
then X, 20. George will be forced L
forget Tender.
