New-York tribune., 1921-06-21

troupe, Jared the worst. Whenever he
,ried to hang on, Dempsey shook and
.nnshed him away One left-hand
wing TO the stomach caught Williams
IS he was retreattng and accelerated
his going TO such an extent that he fell
sosinst the ropes and bounced to the
soor. 1t was terrific blow. but the
spsrring partner was game enough to
set up and continue.
Eddie 0'Hare, the young middle
weight who held an amateur title in
one Of the lighter classes. was fret
in the ring and gave Dempsey his best
workout. He iabbed the champion
often, though lightly, and made Jack
work hard to reach him
At the end of the second round
Dempsey chased O'Hare into corner
and. blocking eff retreat, swung a hard
right to the head and q left to the
mouth. The latter blow brought
riekle of blood and as the round ended
we saw Dempsey express concern for
& sparring partner for the first time.
He patted young O'Hare on the back
and said, "I'm sorry"
But he was not so sorry that he did
not seOwl and swing destruction at
Battling Ghee, the negro. who came into
tbs ring as soon as O'Hare left. Ghee
was not anxious TO earn pat on the
back by first taking other pats in the
stomach or on the Jaw, and he fought
a strictly rear-guard action. He was
in flight throughout the two rounds.
The chunky negro is fast and nenD-
sey got lot OF road work in follow
ing him up. Whenever Ghee felt the
rot breath of the champion on his
back he would turn suddenly and
1nch, and at such times Dempsey
hammered him with free arm at close
qaarters.'
Larry Williams, the next man, took
tae hardest knock, for by this time
Dempsey's pores and his emotions were
all open and in full swing. 1t is the
popular belief that an angry man sac
1ihces something OF efficiency in anv
athletic sport. but Dr. Edward Hiram
Reede, the we'll known WashinctoD
9yehlatrlst, has advanced the theory
Tat mans potential physical energy is
rastiy increased by anger.
Hits Harder When Angry
1t seems to be so in the case Of
Dempsey. He hits much faster when
re becomes somewhat steamed up in
BIS feelings. Just what ne had against
Williams it would be hard to say.
There seems to be pot half pound Of
12rm IN this mild sparring partner.
But Dempsey managed to make him
stand as h symbol Of some frustrating
torce and let him have it hammer and
nags. lie didn't even say he was
sorgy whom he Knocked him down To
be sure, the champion helped Williams
. his feet, but it was only TO hammer
lin again
lack Renault boxed the last two
rounds with speed and caution and was
net hurt much.
With EIGHT rounds under his belt.
Dempsey completed the hardest work
ouS which he has accomplished since
Aa BEGAN training. He looked better
nan lie has in anv OF his recent prac-
Ice, FOR he fought more and boxed
less.
Dempsey is not to be despised as
boxer He ducks beautifully and he
blocks pretty well, but Of course Demp-
see the boxer is not TO be compared
with Dempsey the fighter. Indeed he
s less liable to damage when in fight
mood than while boxing, for, like some
Of the football teams they used TO have
at Yale great many years ago, his
best defense is his rushing, smashing
attack. He also showed this afternoon
some little aesthetic appreciation.
The black which he wore on Saturday
dld not quite suit him, nor yet the pur-
pie Of SUNDAY. To-day he was in fam
ing red and looked like Lucifer before
tae fall. And to carry out the picture
ne fought Ike the devil.
