|Blarnes Dempsey
Judge Lytton Says Jack Could
Have Been Disqualified
for Fouls

Blame for the situation which
has created heated discussions
since Jack Dempsey knocked down
Gene Tunney in the seventh round
of their championship fight was
placed squarely upon Dempsey 5
shoulders in statement issued by
1.-The Illinois State Athletic Commits
sion.
George Lytton, Chicago business
man and one of the judges, declar-
ed yesterday that Dempsey could
have been disqualified before the
seventh round for repeatedly hit
ting below the belt and using the
barred rabbit punch, despite warn
ings from referee and judges.
Dempsey knew, said Lytton, that
a big fight cannot be stopped ex-
eept for very serious breaches OF
the rules and took advantage of the
fact
when Tunney went down under
Dempsey's savage attack in the
seventh round" said Lytton" .Demp-
sey stepped into a near corner be-
hind the referee for just one reason.
He wanted to be on top OF Turney
| just as soon as the latter arose, in
the same way that he struck Firpo
while Firpo's knee was only few
inches from the floor"
Dempsey knew the rules perfect
ly," said Lytton. Dempsey" he
said, thought he could get away
with that infraction. He guessed
wrong. Under the rule Referee Bar
Iry could have stood and looked at
Dempsey for half an hour without
starting the count unless Dempsey
retired to the opposite corner The
match was refereed 100 Der cent.
fairly"
Explaining the count when Demp-
sey went down in the next round
and the referee started at once,
Lytton said that this was done be-
cause Tunney was seven or eight
feet away and did not try to set
himself for a punch as soon as
Dempsey rose.

With Tunney Vacation Party,
Thursday,-Gene Tunney, prince
of all pugilists and twice conqueror
of the terror Of the ring, Jack
Dempsey, expects to remain an
active fistic king for many years
to come.
The man who hammered off the
savage onslaughter of the once I'M
beatable Manassa Mauler, while a
gigantic crowd of more than 150,-
900 roared its approval, vows that
as long as youth is his and great
strength still abides in his muscles
he will not relinquish the fight
crown.
Tunney went through the most
hectic half hour of his career to
keep his throne and he laughs now
at the idea of giving it up before
he has to-.
Tunney confides that his present
condition is such he believes ne
will be able to hold his title for
many years to come, in fact, longer
than any other heavyweight champ
ion has ruled before him.
Plans Research Work
But what will happen when a
younger, a more savage man with
more powerful punches and capable
fists comes along and does take
the crown from the aging Tunney?
What then?
Tunney has already decided and
in an exclusive interview he has
told me his plans.
Il shall go into research work"
said the champion, with view to-
wards compiling and writing books
on whatever subjects interest me-"
A queer light came into Genes
eyes, the same eyes that just a
short time ago blazed fury at the
crouching menace which was Jack

Benny Leonard, the only one OF
the modern champs, at least, who
has held to his retirement plans,
gives an interesting sidelight on
Jack Dempsey
Preceding Dempsey's second
battle with Tunney reams of copy
were written around the change In
Dempsey's style, engineered main
ly by Leo Polonius Flynn. 1t was
pointed out that Dempsey, through
age, social climbing and constant
trips from Los Angeles to New
York had lost his pugnacious spirit
He lost. too, much of the pile
driving force of his blows.
Dempsey, in his last fights, has
not fought the same type of fight
that he did before he won the title
and even against Willard" says
Leonard.
Dempsey, when he was fighting
his way to the title, was depend
ing entirely on brute strength. His
one thought was to go into his
crouch and batter his way to
victory.
Now Dempsey wasn't any differ
ent than any other fighter. The
more he fought, the more he be-
gan to use his head. It's natural,
You come to know that you can
meet certain types OF punches with
certain defenses. You find that
you can get inside the other mans
offense without necessarily fight
ing your way in.
That's why Dempsey changed.
Dempsey became more heady
fighter. He used his strength to
better advantage, though not ap-
pearing ais murderous In his
actions"
