Jack Secure

Pulls Punches
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL

NEW YORK, Aug. MANY ring
~ titles have exchanged owners
80 Tar this year and perhaps some
moro champions viii be displaced be
fore the January blasts arrive, hut
two division leaders. Jack Dempsey
and Benny Leonard. look secure on
their thrones az this writing.
Dempsey has two fights In the
making. with Luis Firpo ana Harry
wills and. altho he may have a hard
fight IN each bout. ho ought TO come
out OF them with ais title.
The heavyweight champions fight
with Tom Gibbons tn Shelby can be
almost ignored In figuring Dempsoy's
chance IN his next fights II too much
time does not elapsc. There is no
doubt that the champion looked bad
and very bad against Gibbons, but
there are two ways TO explain Il;
Dempsey purposely carried Glib
hons Is rounds. or
Dempsey was of form. due 20 his
long absence from the ring.
once before the Shelby fight.
Dempsey was in tho position Of being
\ forced practically into retirement be
cause so much sentiment existed that
he was too good for any OF the con
tenders for the title and that Il would
be a runaway for him 20 defend his
title.
Then came the fight with Bin
Brennan In Madison Square Garden.
Dempsey looked terrible for six
rounds and then he stepped out and
won By knockout IN the 18th round.
The reaction from that fight was
that II the slow, trial-horse. Brennan,
could so u rounds with the cham
plon that the clever, spectacular
Carpenter. with one-punch knock
out in his right hand. would have n
good chance 20 win.
The Dempsey Carpenter fight was
the result and Il established record
for receipts that may never be
equallcd.
After his victory over the French
man. Dempsey went back into the
"too good class and he could find
no work. New York was the only
logical place 10 stage q heavyweight
championship fight and the commits
sion in New York stopped every at
tempt 10 stage n title bout.
Then came the fight with Gibbons,
and Dempsey looked bad again, SEN
timent switched over and Il was fig
ured that IL light heavyweight
could stand up for 10 rounds against
the mauler. that Dempsey was not
the super.man.
This reference Is not based upon
any facts. II IS merely u theory.
and Is worth only that,
II Is just as logical and reasonable
10 figure that an absence OF two
years from the ring threw Dempsey
off his timing and his Judgment OF
distance and that he was just rusty
from lack OF usage.
II would stand to reason then that
Dempsey VIII be much better and
more like the Dempsey OF Toledo and
Jersey City IN his next fight. II he
did work under wraps In shelby. he
Is bound to be better when he throws
or his pull. II he suffered from the
absence from the ring. the Gibbons
fight would be the very thing 10 set
him back In form.
