Jumped out of the ring and was on his way 10 the dressing room. All along
 the line the frantic mob grabbed him
 and tried to lift him off his feet, and carry him. He had gone dozen paces or so when the frantic summons came
 from the ring for him to come back. that the fight was not over And Dempsey
 knew that if he didn't get back before the gong rang for the second round he
 might be disqualified.
 And then began Dempseys spectacular fight through the crazy crowd to get
 back into the ring. He had to bowl over
 hundred men on his way and fight along harder than an ordinary man would fight in six rounds.
 TOO TIRED TO FIGHT At last he reached the ring and hur-
 dled the ropes just at the second that the bell rang. He was able to answer the gong and go out at Willard, but it was a tired and worn Dempsey who did so.
 The battle with the crowd had taken a lot out of him, and he knew it. So he didn't go out at Willard in that round with all the fury that would have been possible after the minutes rest. He knew that he had to take things easy through that round, and he did. He even slowed little in the third, figuring that he had Willard, but that before he went out to put the finishing punches to him it
  pletely rested from his exertions in fight ing the hero-worshipping crowd. If Dempsey hadn't jumped out of the ring and had been given the minutes rest after theA first round there is no question whatsoever in my mind that he probably would have knocked out Will lard before the end of the second ses- sion of fighting.
 There are some who contend that Dempsey lis a man without defense It is true that Dempsey doesn't use the stereotyped form to guard himself. He has a peculiar shifting motion, duck
 ing and bobbing of his head, that per-
 haps is more baffling to the ordinary fighter than the usual method employed
 bv ringmen. He hasn't a defense that ordinary fighters use, but he has one
 different and unique and a defense which
 no man so far has been able to pene-
 trate successfully.
 So it would seme that instead of hav- ing mo defense Dempsey has superb one.
 Dempsey is a real champion. He is sn1endid fellow personally, and has the crowds with him. He is natural born fighter and he loves battling. No one who wants a chance against hlm Will he refused. He has such superlative con- fdence in himself that he will try con- c,usions with any man. And that means ring activity of championship variety at any time that some new heavyweignt comes along and menaces Dempsey 5

ALEXANDER CITY
 DEFEATS LINEVILLE

Alexandria City, Ala, July 12.-(Spe- cial )-The hardest fought battle of the season was played on the local diamond yesterday when the hard-hitting Alex ander City team locked horns with the fast bunch from Lineville. The game was full of thrills from start to finish and when the last man was out, seven hundred rabid fans went home with voices in not much shape for solo sing ing.
 The Lineville team put up a game fight but they could not stand the fierce blows of the Alexander City boys bIudgeons, and consequently went down in defeat to the tune of to 5.
 Zachary held the visiting team in the palm of his hand with the exceptions of two innings, when his teammates be- came a little unsteady and allowed the visitors to score.

AhAou5h lno years lHe DdIlllIlS 6dinC has developed many hitters-men with terrific punching power John L. Sulli- van was a mighty man with his right hand; Bob Fitzsimmons could knock them cold with either paw; Joe Choynski used to stand men on their heads with one drive of his mighty fist; Jim Jeffries had left hook to the body unlike any fighter of any. time And there were others who could put amazing force into their drives.
 But I doubt if any could generate with in either hand the dynamic power of Jack Dempsey
 The memory of what happened to the giant Jess Willard in Toledo when the nrst Dempsey smash reached his jaw will live with me always, as it will live With every spectator who saw it. It was punch that travelled no more than a foot; blow that shot out minus any appearance of it's real crushing force; a wallop which, when on it's way, seemed to carry no awful menace for Willard
 Yet that blow sealed the doom of the big kansan For, from the moment it reached it's mark Willard was a beaten gladiator.
 OTHERS FAILED
 During his fistic career a score of men have hit Willard on his jaw with seeming sledge-hammer blows. A hundred punches and more have rattled against the Willard jaw. But none ever made the big fellow dizzy. He semed to have a jaw impervious to knockout punch and proudly he had termed it "cast iron jaw
 But that one left hook that hit Will lard's chin proved to the world that Will lard's jaw was not of the cast ron va riety-and that Dempsey probably never had superior as walloper. The punch caught Willard less than a minute after the fight began, and while he was still fresh and full of pep. It didn't hit him when he was wearied and worn; it struck him at a time when his powers of resis- tance were greatest. But when the blow landed Willard's whole body quivered like jelly, and look came on his face that showed that he had been hurt and mortally-as far as that battle was concerned.
 Even before Willard had a chance to recover Dempsey hit him with right, and the champion went down. The story of what followed is still too fresh in the minds of the fistic world to need repeti- tion. But all of it proves that Dempsey as two listed hitter never has known a superior. Stunning force in each hand that's Dempsey.
 There were many who wondered why Dempsey, after knocking down Willard so often in the first round, did not finish him in the second. Therein lies a story. After the first round had ended Demp- sey assumed that he had won the fight. After going to his corner and receiving
 the congratulations of his seconds, h
