RING BATTLES OF
CHAMP and CARP
First of Series of Stories
on the Two Men Who
Meet JuIy2

William Harrison Jack" Demp,
sey, born in Manassa, Col, June "a.
1896, is a novice in ring affairs
when compared with the fistic ex.
pertence OF Georges Carpenter, his
challenger. Carpenters earliest
ring engagements date back to
1907. when the Frenchmau was but
q slip of q boy. Dempsey's first OF,
ficlal battles were fought in 1915.
A contest with one Kid Hancock,
whom Dempsey knocked out in a
single round, is the first official
engagement credited to the con.
Qneror Of Jess Willard. Dempsey,
however, tells, with evident delight,
OF an earlier battle.
Dempsey himself was the pro-
moter, tlcket.taker and a principal
on that boxing program, which grew
out OF an argument With another
youth at Montrose. Col. They were
about to settle the difficulty in the
usual American style, with fists,
when Dempsey, showing a certain
business acumen that has been no
uceable In both him and his man.
ager in later days, suggested that
they hold the bout indoors, and
charge admission. A few days la.
ter, they pitched ring in the town
hall. Dempsey sold and collected
tickets at the door until 1t was
time to fight. They split the $50
gate" and declared It was easy
money"
That bout started Jack Dempsey
in the profession which was TO
make him subsequently the highest
paid athlete any sport has seen.
He fought % battles during 1915
and 1915, winning IS by knockouts
and five on decisions. He fought
three draws and was defeated once,
by Jack Downey.
