Referee Got Dizzy in
Counting SO Often OUer
Jess against Dempsey

Jack Dempsey played the accom-
paniment to Jess Wilard's swan song
on July 4. 1919. at Toledo, o. 1t was
all over in the third round. Jess got
100000 for the performance, many
times the amount Caruso earns in n
whole opera. Dempsey got S27 900.
The champion fell down and got up
so many times in the first round that
the referee became dizzy from count
ing, and failed to hear the bell. This
was on the fifth liaison between Willard
and the floor.
The gong sounded feebly on the
seventh count, but Referee Pecord con
tinued chopping the air over Willard.
When he had finished he informed
Dempsey that there had been knock
out and the champion left the ring,
only to have his manager come run
ming after him with the information
that there had been a mistake.
That first round w&s awful. Blu,
it prepared everybody for the worst
and no one was surprised when Will
lard lost in the third round.
Dempsey opened the fight by ac-
cepting some taps on the face. Then
he hauled off and busted Willard in
the stomach so hard that dazed ex-
preston overspread the champion
countenance. Dempsey then landed
several blows to the Jaw and Willard
dropped to the floor for six counts
only to fall again with n blow that
greeted his nose.
AS he got up second time he turned
his head away, but the Giant Killer
struck him twice and he fell on his
hands and knees.
Arising once more, Willard was
cornered by Dempsey, who pounded
him to the mat with rights and lefts
TO the face. Again he got up and once
more he was knocked down.
Somehow. the giant gropcd his way
through the second round. suffering
nothing more humiliating than fall
rarity through the ropes. Dempsey
tore into him again when the third
round opened. Willard was groggy
and weak, with one eye out of shape
and everything gone wrong. His sec :
onds threw the towel into the ring and
called 1t day

The semi finals in the mems singles
were decided disappointment as far
as contests were concerned, but were
very encouraging to Pkiladclphians be-
cause OF the brilliant form displayed by
wallace Johnson and Stanley Pearson.
Johnson met Philip Ncer. the Leland

sible winner of the Delaware tourna :
ment. Johnson evidently believed that

himself, nj n, so he began right off the reel
TO speed his play up. The result was
that he tore through the Californian s
defense mercilessly. taking the first sci

Pearson Going Well
Stanley Pearson also demonstrated
that he has hit his stride at last, for

the tall, blond California player, in
short order. Last week Pearson met
johnson in the finals Of the Pennsyl =
