night.
Off-hand, I would say that it
Is an excellent bet that he will
cut loose, without fear or favor,
In the last ten days before the
fight. By that time he won't
care whether the boys leave or
how soon,
The intelligentsia also has been
at a loss to account for the fact
that the champion, has been and
is being hit with great readiness.
I doubt II Dempsey is greatly
worried about this state of affairs,
Every man he has fought has hit
him. All he asks is that they keep
on trying, SO that he can get a
clean shot at the button.
Besides, this Is the man who was
hit on the jowl by Firpo. Car
pentier and Willard and, If he
could laugh that collection off, it
Is difficult to see how Tunney's
light hitting can annoy hirn.
The chances are that Dempsey is
figuring on marching right into
everything that Gene might have
in order to get in close for the
killing, IL any.
That he will be in condition to
absorb punishment is now a fore
gone conclusions Dempsey worked
40 minutes yesterday and, at the
end, breathed as easily as a man
In a Morris chair. He perspired
profusely in the first minute of
play, another favorable sign. "A
third was the fact that his legs

wonderful body Of his about as

AS for my original question, 1t
would seem entirely plausible that
Dempsey will reclaim some measure

naming two weeks. Whatever it
may be. It should be enough.

That Is well. II Jack Dempsey
Is to beat Gene Tunney for the
heavyweight championship OF the
world, he must hit him. Nobody
ever scored a KNOCKOUT or earned
q decision by tanning the other
mans ponpadour.
However. If one would believe
half he hears and all he sees, this
element OF uncertainty is the only
thing that will serve to make a
contest Of this fight. Give Demp.
sey condition, give him his speed
and the old will to win, and you
have quite a fighter. Add even a
dash OF his former accuracy and
1t is difficult to see how any man
Of the present era can beat him;
least Of all q heavyweight whom
one might term rather insincere
hitter.
But he can't hurt Tunney with
out hitting him. IL he continues
to miss right up to the day of
the fight, then It is possible that
the challenger might be able to
stab his way to the title.
This, however, brings back the
old argument Of the hitter versus
the boxer; the former might only
have to land one good one to bring
the stopper down to his own speed.
IL he lands 1t in the first round
which, by the way, always has
been Dempsey's best-the fight is
usually a brief one. II he lands
it in the last round, he can and
