clinched. Jacks knees sagged and al
most touched the floor AS they pulled
away, Firpo let another right go at
Jack inside. Jack, still bit dazed
from that first pop on the WhiSkers,
was feeling his way around, even
though only seconds had elapsed.
Ffrpo had crossed our wires a little
with that first wallop. but it was al
right now. 1 saw Jack move around,
and after another exchange of
punches they clinched. Then I knew
he was alright again. Dempsey
stepped back out Of the clinch, and,

Flrpo been smart, it might not have

Firpo is up again and a short right

may have been the fifth knockdown.
I'm not sure as to the exact count on
that. 1t doesn't matter. It is what is

After that kidney punch knocked

he gets up off the floor, Firpo is dazed

that fear was at the bottom of every
thing Firpo did in camp and was

figured that the best way to beat him
was to drive that fear deeper and
deeper into his heart right off the

Different From Willard.
You must walk right up to this
fellow and smack him down before he
knows that the first bell has sounded

Walk right up and smack him as hard
as you can let go. Drive that old fear
to his boots. Sock and sock and

Now you'll see that I didn't tell

didn't have a sucker to deal with in
Willard. You couldn't walk right up

could a green fellow like Firpo. tough
and strong as he was. He wouldn't
know what was coming off and VIII
lard would. in case of walking right
in. That's the fine art of telling a
man what to do in the first 80 seconds
of fight, the critical period in every
fight, the period that paves the
way to a downfall or ultimate victory.
SO that was agreed upon between
Dempsey and myself He was to
walk right UP to Firpo and clout him
over. if he could, with the first punch.
If Firpo didn't go down with it 1
was sure that it wasn't going to do
him the least bit of good, no matter
where the punch landed.
Take the play away from him be-
fore he gets his hands in position. :"
That was the battle cry. At Toledo
it was make Willard miss that first

Firpo Is Too Heavy.
I had other reasons for wanting
Dempsey to end it quickly. In the
first place, the Gillian was 80 pounds
or more heavier. In long fight that
would count greatly against the cham
pion. A toe-to-toe start-off might
wind it quickly. 1 guessed it right,
but now that it Is all over, I'll admit
that / didn't think Firpo was as tough
as he was.
I knew that toe-to-toe fighting was
