to the Washington Hotel. His
outfit is a combination of the
best features of all uniforms
previously devised and the fact
of the matter is, he looks so
much like a precious cake that
the more unthinking patrons
will be found opening the door
for him instead of vice versa.
The basic scheme of his habit
is blue. Along the trouser seam
are two red stripes, a jaun-
diced yellow stripe between. A
patent leather Sam Browne
belt lies athwart his chest,
attached to the belt thereof
a capacious black pouch which
might contain first-aid tools,
a demountable field-piece or the
gentleman's lunch. Two rows
of brass buttons parallel each
other down front and, topping
it all, is a sturdily visored
blue cap with a fleur de lis or
some other design worked on
the crown in yellow braid.
In round numbers, appraisers
say, the outfit is worth close
to a million and even the tiniest
rip in the trousers may cost
its wearer a years income!

NEW YORK, July 22.-After the
fight Jack Dempsey and Jack
Sharkey made the following state
ments:
DEMPSEY-"Make no mistake
about it, this fellow Sharkey is no
sucker. He is tough, rugged young
fellow who can hit, and hit hard,
but he never had me badly hurt or
seriously shaken. Always my head
was clear and always I had plenty
left. You see, I never permitted
Sharkey to get SO that he could get
the best leverage for his blows. He
is very quick and it is hard for me

sank almost to the floor. The referee
waved Dempsey back and Sharkey
got to his feet just as the bell
sounded.
The fight ended dramatically in
the seventh round, when Dempsey
caught Sharkey with right under
the heart and a terrific left to the
jaw. Sharkey dropped to his knees.
He had his hands on the floor, then
rolled over on his side, lifting his
hands to his stomach, and kept
rolling.
Dempsey walked to neutral cor
ner, where he watched the referee
count out Sharkey.
Bostonian Kept Running
The battle was typical Dempsey
fight. Unpopular as he was sup
posed to have been in his previous
fight, he was the hero from the time
the bell sounded until the end.
Dempsey, in his corner, looked down
to the writer and said: well, I'm
still here. got that little bit of a
cut under the eye, but what is that?"
After the fourth round several
referees and experts in Dempsey's
corner gave their opinions Dempsey
couldn't continue very much longer.
They called the attention of news
-aper men to his weakening legs
and his weakening arms and eau
toned that Sharkey was fighting a
real smart fight by running away
from Dempsey.
Sharkey did a beautiful running
fight, but Dempsey had SO much
speed in his legs and so much punch
in his arms that he caught up with
Sharkey and knocked him down.
Sharkey probably now can get a
fight with Paolino.

NEW YORK, July %. Jack
Dempsey knocked out the cocky
Jack Sharkey, Of Boston, in the
seventh round of their fight here
Thursday night and earned his right
to meet Gene Tunney in an attempt
to regain the title he lost at Phila-
delphia.
The Tunney-Dempsey fight will
take place at Soldiers Field, Chi
cago, Sept. IS, it can be definitely
said today.
It was a right under the heart
In the seventh round that ended
the fight. Dempsey had forced the
fighting all the way.
AS the seventh was fairly started,
Jack shot his right to Sharkey's
body. Sharkey dropped his guards,
writhed in pain and sagged, trying
to protest the blow was foul. Demp-
Sey closed in with a solid left to
the chin and the fight was over.
Forced Entire Fight
There was not a second in the
entire fight when Dempsey was not
plugging in and forcing Sharkey.
Sharkey, when he came into the
ring, attempted to stare Dempsey
down, but Dempsey refused to look
at him. Jack acted the part of the
courageous champion he was sew
4ral years ago.
Dempsey was given a tremendous
reception. While a lot of lesser
celebrities were being introduced he
sat quietly and regally in his cor
ner. On the other side of the ring
Sharkey still was trying to pene-
trate Dempseys defense with his
stare, but Dempsey refused to be
annoyed.
Up to the seventh round on the
score sheet Dempsey had won every
round, although he had often tired,
and in the first for a moment looked
bad. Sharkey had never taken
step forward, and Dempsey had
done all the fighting.
Always Is Fighting
It reminded the writer of what
Dempsey told him in Saratoga a
few days ago:
"In Philadelphia" he said, II
figured that if didn't lead punches
into Tuney, I would be thrown out
of the ring. And in that fight, 1
learned later, I made the mistake
of walking into punches. Never in
my life have I failed to put up a
fight. either for myself or the spec
tators, and when go into the fight
against Sharkey, I'm going to fight"
Dempsey did that last night. He
fought exactly as he did against
Willard, Brennan, Carpenter, Glib
bons, Firpo and Tunney. He doesn't
know any other way to fight.
Dempsey had gone out against
Sharkey in every round of the fight
He was scowling, had his head down
and kept tearing in. During the
first six rounds, when Dempsey was
pouring vicious left hooks to the
aRody, Sharkey kept looking at the
j yeferee, Jack O'Sullivan, who waved
him back and said: Come on and
fight"
Sharkey didn't land one good,
hard punch during the fight. Once
or twice he sent over the right hook
that had knocked out Jim Maloney
in Sharkey's greatest fight. Demp-
sey took it on his jaw, and came
back in, tearing lefts and rights to
the body that had Sharkey almost
crying.
Dempsey almost won the fight in
the third round. He clipped Shar-
key with left hook to the chin and
a right to the body. and Sharkey
