Punch Seen As Gone
I think that asset alone can be
written Off by perhaps thirty per
cent. It was one of three things
Dempsey had, and only three. The
other two were speed and the
punch, the pair being complement
tary.
He seems to be many yards back
from the speed he knew for Car
pentier or even Firpo. although the
latter was so slow, In truth, that
little line could be obtained on
Dempsey's speed at that time.
Therefore. il would follow that
some Of his punch is gone: not the
punch he shows against the sand

are in excellent health today.
