WELL, LISTEN TO THIS.

Jess Willard Is awake, boys. The
bio camoufIeur actually says he wants
to meet Jack Dempsey, and when Wal
ter Monahan said he wanted to meet
Dempsey first, Jess told Walt to save
Jack for him. and to not let any Sec
ond rater brush Jack off.

"Save him for me. Men like Demp.

less Of a fIuke. 1t Is not likely Demp-
sey could repeat II given 10 rounds.
So tell the people north to save Demp.
sey for me. Don't let some second
rater brush him off,"
This all listens good, but the niger
in the woodpile is hat Jess has ig-
nored challenge after challenge from
Dempsey and while Dempsey has been
saved for Jess he has had no chance
to meet the champion.
Willard has been waiting for some
body to stop Dempsey so he can say
Jack is not worthy to meet him, but

Mike Finn Will Lose Out

Only Thriller of Quiet Year.

Dempsey was the only thriller Of
the quiet boxing year. He showed
everything in the fistic business that
needs to be known. He met every
fighter that could be pulled into the
ring with him and nearly every n Of
them he knocked out in the first round.
The Rochester, MINI, Behemoth., the
man who sought to battle Willard for
the title, was induced to meet him in
a bout scheduled for eight rounds with
eight-ounce gloves at Harrison. n. j.,
on the afternoon of July 4. With the
gong Dempsey dashed at Fulton and
landed three punches. With the third
Fulton sank to the canvas. knocked
dead to the world. 1t was a 23-seconds
knockout. That jigtime finish was a
huge surprise, for Fulton was the bet
ting favorite.
Dempsey found just one man he was
unable to knock out. That was Billy
Miske, of st. Paul. He fought him 10
rounds and was a winner at st. Paul.
yIe fought him a second time at Phila-
delphia over the six-round route and
once more Miske stuck the limit. Miske
was able to do that for the simple rea-
son that he boxed cleverly and on the
defensive from the first gong to the
last. He didn't fight to win; he boxed
to stick the limit.

So Willard did not climb through the

By while Willard was idle another
young heavyweight was advancing by
leaps and bounds toward the cham
pionship goal. This fighter. and he is

Jack Dempsey. Dempsey's occupation
in wartime was work in the s~hlpyards

him to battle not alone for himself,
