that would beat Iunney 70 It.
"Tunney, / hear, Is one Of the
counter.hitters. I'm told that Il he
can't get the other fellow to lead he
isn't 80 good on attack. Wen, II
that's true. then the thing I want
to do il double cross him. I want
him to do the leading for little
BIT and let me do the couptertng.
I'll take that countering play away
from him."
Dempsey's mates, through the
! last few days, have been doing the
leading, and Dempsey has been
countering splendidIy with
punch that's practically new in
his Mne OF attacking eQuipltemt.
It's 3 short lifting right hand
blow that lands inst under the
heart. It carries terrific force IN
the way that Dempsey uses Il,
and three times he has lifted his
men off their feet and dumped
them on to the floor with the
power Of IL.
eff Tunney fights like they say
he does" said Dempsey. then
maybe that style OF attack on my
part will take all the fight out OK
him quicker than anything else"
Dempsey. has had his men poke
their let's at him In jabbing fashion
as Is Tunney's speciality. Dempsey
has ducked just enough to escape
it, and then, seemingly, with the
same movement, has 1unged in and
let go with the right drive. It has
landed nine times in every ten tries.
Dempsey's mates claim It is the
worst punch that he uses. and they
have tried to get away from It, but
to no avail.
The punch Is mot SO great .
VariatiOn from the one he used
TO Cinch a worlds championship
for himself when he battIed Jess
Willard In Toledo. Willard
opened the proceedings with q
lab at Dempsey 1t which moment
Dempsey ducIked under the guard
and drove q right-handeP straight
at WIZARDS heart. But where
that punch was short body hook
this new one Is q combination
hook and upperclt.
ST want to land that just about
once on Tunney and see II he'll
laugh it off," said the champion.
IF he does, well, then I'll try It
once more. II it doesn't ruin his
disposition and make him want to
go home as soon as possible I still
will have left the old-time stuff
that consists Of left hook for the
body, a right hook for the chin
and also the good old left hook.
"But from what my partners tell
me I may not have to use any Of
those other punches except to fin.
ish the job. I'm not perfect In the
use Of 1t yet, but even though I'm
only experimenting and using big
piIlowed gloves the boys say it Is Il
more jolting and hurting blow than
anything else I've been throwing
