Though Dempsey saved himself,
could see an through the fight that
the blow had taken something away
from him His judgment OF distance
was poor an through the rest OF the
fight he lacked confidence and did
not fight the way he did against Jess
willard at Toledo nor the way he
battled Billy liske at Benton Harbor.
There was nothing about his carriage
In the ring nor his general actions TO
indicate the energy and youthful vim
and vigor that have generally been
such a prominent feature Of his bat
Ties
Possibly Il was that terrific up

In the second round that robbed
him Of much o. his strength.
Whatever the cause, certain "a

the money back that he made.

wars are not expensivei I had five
