JACK NO MARK.
FOR SPARRINC.
PARTNERS NO v

CHICAGO, Sept. /, P)-Jack
Dempsey was no easy target for
right hand smashes to the chin
today, as he was yesterday. The
Manassa mauler worked three
rounds, one with Jack McCann,
another with Mike Sullivan, both
st. Paul boxers, and one with Osk
Till. Rochester light heavyweight
Dempsey won the honors IN eacn
round.
Manager Flynn sent Dempsey IN
to the ring to boE with strict IN
structions to spend his time WITHIN
the ropes exclusively to avoid lett
iabs and hooks. lynn was not par
ticllar if Dempsey did not SCrlXe
bcak a single blow. But with 5.OUO
customers jammed around the ring
Dempsey was no tcontent TO duck
and weave. He simply could not
restrain himself and his sparring
partners had more trouble keeping
away from Jacks left hooks than
he in evading their thrusts.
Dempsey also presented more
impregnable defense. He kept on the
head roll continually, and even Osk
Till who possesses the fastest left
hand in camp, had, trouble in stab
bings Dempsey with his excellent
defensive, weapon. TILL. a Sparring
partner of Tunriey a year ago, cut
loose a couple of times while try
ing fright hands to the chin and
DEMPSEY tanned him with those up
lifting and sickening left hooks to
the jaw.
Dempsey did four turns around
the Lincoln Fields race track Jnls
morning, covering about four miles
and "a half. Before boxing he work
ed one round on the pulleys, and
a session with the light bag. Al
fer sparring he toiled for a ses-
sion with Marty Cutler, giving the
wrestler such a going over that
the crowd was in an uproar. The
SPECTATORS wanted Dempsey to take
a ftW punches at Cutters round
stomach, but Marty took enough
as it was.
Dempsey will do no work tomor-
row, except for some golt. Johnny
Meyers, the worlds middlewelght
wrestling champion, will tangle with
Dempsey in public on Saturday and
Sunday.
