industrialists and others attending

FIGHT CROWD WAS
LARGE IN MANKATO
Fans Heard Battle Story From
Free Press Yesterday
Afternoon

Mankato had it's Gibbons Dempsey
fight crowd yesterday afternoon. 1t
was in Jackson street, below the
the windows of the Mankato Free
Press, blocking traffic between Front
and Second streets.
1t is estimated that fully third as
many fight fans received the re-
turns from the Free Press ticker
Yesterday, as witnessed the world 8
heavyweight battle at Shelby, Man
tana.
For a time yesterday, it appeared
that results of the fight would not
be forthcoming to the fight hungry
fans. The rain spoiled everything at
the fair grounds where the radio was
all set to get returns. Fans scat
tered about the city eagerly looking
for news and finally were rewarded
by hearing round by round called on
by The Free Press.
There was very little Dempsey
cheering among the large crowd
When the report of the battle fav-
ored the st. Paul challenger the
| crowd would go into an uproar
cheering the gallant battle being put
I'D by Gibbons, out in the little ives
| tern town.
General comment among the large
| crowd of fans was: How long will
he stand up against Dempsey.
1t was not until the rounds were
| reeled off and past the tenth that
many of those skeptical of the pro-
wess of the challenger realized that
he was in there to stay the limit
Betting about the city on the out
come of the fight ranged from odds
of three to one on Dempsey to the
length of time Tommy would would
stay on his feet. Many betters pre-
dicted knockout in the fourth
round. More picked the sixth, and
still more named the tenth round as
the limit on Toms endurance against
the onrushes of the mighty Demp-
sey-but he stayed the limit.
