Dempsey, on the other hand, can hit

It is this that has given Jack his
original style Of fighting Unlike
other heavy champions Dempsey
lays over blows when from the ring

possible. And when openings oc-

found in sparring with Jack Demp-
sey that the champion IS a mighty
difficult man TO hit.
His. shift is largely responsible
for that.
I knew that ne was a two-hand-
ed fighter, and had seen him shift
against Willard and several of the
other boys he fought. but I never
knew how really elusive the big fell
low was until 1 got the gloves on
with him.
Jack is just as much at home
leading with his right as with his
left. He's been working on the art
of ducking and side-stepping until
he's far more clever at it than the
last time I saw him in action.
The ability TO renew the offensive
with either fist or foot enables the
champ to use his feet in side-steps
that are barred to the one hand
fighter. For side-stepping will &C
complish little If the man who is
ducking is not set TO deliver a blow
when his opponents wallop has been
avoided And the one-handed fight
er can side-step in only few ways
