 They hammered each other hard in the ninth, q ferocious round. Tunney kept playing for Jacks face and had it cut and bleeding, and Dempsey was shally as the round ended.
 Both played for knockout in the tenth, swinging wildly. Dempsey was tired and groggy and grew weaker as the round progressed. Just at the end, Tunnoy rocked Jack with two hard rights to the jaw. Another round or two could hard ly have failed 10 end with Dempsey knocked out. Tunncy, whose clear ly excellent condition belied reports of poor training, seemed as strong as he was in the early rounds, but Dempsey was in bad shade.
 Tunney had a clear majority of rounds in the opinion of virtually all observers, though Flynn claimed six for Dempsey.
 But just as Jack Sharkey's fol- lowers had the cry of foul" to raise after his fight with Dempsey in New York. so those who picked Dempsey this time could point to the seventh round knockdown and claim some kind of a moral victory for Jack.

 At any rate, for ore brief moment Tn that seventh round Dempsey stood nearer the top or the come back trail than any other dcthroned heavyweight champion has reached. Only Tunney's covering and dancing and careful steps backward around the ring for the rest of the round saved him.

The Dempsey rally in the seventh round came unexpectedly. after the @S-y'ar-old former champion had failed miscrably to show his old-timc form.
 Tn" first five rounds were almost replica Of the first five at Phila delphia last year, when Tunney won the title. There were few damaging blows in the first two rounds. In the third, Dempsey hit Gene with what appeared to be low blows three times in succession, and a moment later followed with two more Jack was playing for the body and Gene was pounding his opponents face.
