Jack Dempaey's disputed ability to
take punishment was proven. lie
took what Carpenter had in the sec
ond round when Georges broke his
thumb In that terrific swing TO Demp-
says jaw. The bow staggered the
champion and put him on the way
out.
Carpenter later admitted when he
felt a sharp stab OF pain after that
wallop to "Dempsey's iron jaw" he
realized that his fight hand was gone
as an Offensive weapon.
Dempsey In Dare.
Dempsey seemed to be In daxs
when the fight was finished. Per-
haps he refused 10 be fooled BY the
bell that failed him az Toledo. He
stood over tho PROSTATE form OF
the Frenchman until the mad. wild
yells OF that Immense crowd brought
him to a realization OF his victory.

arms trembling and his jaws pound

ring 10 tell his champion that he
was still the worlds greatest fighter.
Even In such a glorious victory.
Dempsey did not forget. The fight
over. the mask OF sayagery dropped
from his face. his Jaws r,taxed the
Enarl Strengthened from his mouth
and the scowl left his forehead. He
stopped and picked the resin covered
form OF the man that he had just
walloped into Hemi-coma.
