of those birds who stands with
his right hand and foot ex-
tended" says Eddie. e'In the
first round the fellows awk-
ward style puzzled Dempsey
and between rounds 1 started
to suggest to him how he should
avoid that right hand. Demp-
sey wouldn't listen at all. III
show you how to handle this
stiff, he said, and. believe me,
he did.
"He stepped out of his corner
with his right hand and right
foot out, just like the other
fellow. Then he let 90 with his
left hand. He slammed that
fellow so hard that he broke the
top rope of the ring and the
bird was out for ten minutes"
