The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-05-14

One of the most remarkable things about Jack Dempseys career is that his most spectacular performances have been against big men. With Dempsey it has been the case of " The bigger they come, the quicker they go." Giants have been easy for him: little fellows either have whipped him or held him off.
 The tallest specimen of manhood that ever faced the Utah Mauler'' was Fred Fulton, who towers close to feet inch es He had it on Dempsey in that fight by nearly four inches in altitude, sev- eral inches in reach and many pounds in weight. But it required just two Demp- sey punches and about IS seconds for the westerner to topple Fulton into a state of unconsciousness.
 Carl Morris is about Fultonis size Flo is one of the real Goliaths of the prize ring. Dempsey himself is a big rerow put the day that he met Morris in New Orleans Dempsey looked like a middle Weignt Tn comparison with his powerful appearing rival. Yet Dempsey knockey, out Morris with a left-hander to tbe stomach-and in total fight time of i about 10 seconds.
 GunDoat Smith Is just about Dempsey's slze. It took Jack nearly two rounds f0 dispose of him. On the other hand. Ar thur Pellley who is about feet inches tall, went down and out before the Dempsey onslaught in 51 seconds. Roh MICA Ulster who is about two inches short CT and nearly 40 pounds lighter than Pel- Key, lasted two minutes and ten seconds. Is NOW we come to the other extreme: The only man that ever knocked out Jack Dempsey was Jim Flynn, who ac- complished the trick in February of 1917. And Flynn, mind you, is only a light weight in stature, being about inches shorter than Dempsey Jack outweighed Jlm nearly 25 pounds too, but Flynn reached Jack with a pile driver in the very first round-and down and out went Dempsey.
 Ever since Dempsey's real start on bYs meteoric career only two men have gone the route with him-and each has been shorter and lighter than Dempsey
 Willie Meehan is a roly-poly individual notching below Dempsey in height ana weight and with a reach much smaller. Furthermore, Meehan never has done any. thing during his career that would give him ranking among the truly greats of pugilism. Yet he has twice held off the Dempsey attacks that sent nearly 40 ether Dempsey opponents into oblivion.
 i|ciHpSty < ilfSL CldSn with Meenan was a four-rounder in July, 1917, in San Fran cisco. Dempsey won the decision, but hA outpointed Meehan merely by a shade The next time they met was on Septem- Der 13. 1918, while Dempsey was whirling along at cyclonic rate along the knock out route He had stopped half dozen men in succession, five of them in ode round But Meehan slugged itetSith Demp- sey-met him at his own game. He show ed no fear of the "Mauler;" he never backed away. And at the conclusion of the fourth round the referee gave the fight to Meehan.
 Billy Miske is smaller than Dempsey Yet this fellow has taken on the great warrior in two bouts and Dempsey hasn't stopped him. They met first in St. Paul on May 3, 1918, in Hereunder Ring side experts insist that Dempsey was outpofnted and that if the referee had been permitted to give ruling he would have awarded the fight-without any he's itation-to Miske.
