BIG BOUT IS THIRD
UNDER NO DECISION
Dempsey-c Carpenter Battle Free
Of Rules on This Point;
Heavyweight Bouts.

NJ
for tho worlds heavyweight cham
pion ship under no decision rules at
limited number of rounds will be
underway when Jack Dempsey and
Georges Carpenter square on In the
Jersey City ring. July q The only
previous title contests held under
similar conditions we're the Willard
Moran io-round battle at New York.
March rs. 1915 and the Willard-Demp
sey contest at Toledo. o. July 4, 1912.
Tho FIRST bout w~nt the limit, Willard
.atning the popular verdict. At To-
edo. Dempsey knocked out his ponder
aus opponent In the third ~ the
4cheduied 1,-round bout.
Modern ring history in the heavy
weight division In considered TO have
begun when John L. sullivan Knocked
out Paddy Ryan In nine rounds at
Mississippi city, Miss, February !.
1852. Including that contest and the
one In which Marvin Hart defeated
Jack Root TO gain the title relinuuish-
ed by Jim JefYries. there have been -
champion ship boutr. The longest was
that IN which John L. sullivan
knocked ont Jake Kilrain in ~ rounds
at Richburg, Miss: the shortest that
in which Tommy Burns stopped Bill
sauires in one round at colma, Cal,
July L. 1907.
By the average duration of these
championship contests, which is a
trife under is rounds, Dempsey and
Carpentier. scheduled for only IL ses-
xions. would seem likely TO go the pre-
n-ribed route. The length of the Sui
livan-Kilrain duel. however. stretches
this average and examination of the
records shows that IL Of the "a bat
ties have stopped short OF the f2-
round mark, while the most recent
cham pion.hip fight. in New York. last
pcrernber. ended with the Knockout of
Rin Brennan by Dempsey In the
twelfth round.
Persons who wager on an oniciai
result i'm the Jersey City bout can WIN
mr. lose only in two events. a knock
out or a disqualification on foul. To
make possible cican-cut decision. II
ba. been suggested that Promoter
"Tcx- Rickard appoint three judges
who shall sit at the ringside nnd an
no,ynca n verdict after returning 10
New York. following the bout
