BLOOD PRESSURE HIGH IN DEMPSEY
This Is What Examining Doctor Says

New York. July 21 R-Jack Dempsey has high blood-pressure and is not the "super-man of four years ago." when he knocked out Luis Firpo, but he will enter the ring tonight against Jack Sharkey as physically fit as any human being could at 32 years.
 This was the finding of Dr. Will liam Walker, official physician for the state athletic commission, today after the former champion had con- pletely upset advance expectations by scaling a pound and" half less than his young rival in tonight's 15- round battle at the Yankee Stadium
 Dempsey weighed 194 1-2 when he stepeped on the scales at Madi- son Square Garden. He did not meet Sharkey, as had been expected. The Boston sailor. arriving a little later weighed 196.
 Examination of both fighters by pr. Walker revealed them in prime physical condition. but the physician pointed to sharp contrast between the Dempsey of today and the fighter who knocked out Luis Firpo four years ago here.
 ss l!J 6IIso!sAQd se ST Aesdmed,, any human being could be at 32,' said Dr. Walker, But he is not the super-man of four years ago. He is no longer the bundle of nerves that faced Firpo. The most obvious change in his physical responses was blood-pressure which, although not abnormal, seems very much for an athlete.
 sharkey's blood pressure was about normal.
 "Dempsey's high blood pressure from a medical viewpoint, way tend to slow him up as the fight progres. ses," Dr. Walker continued. Fur thermore Dempsey's pulse rate 73 at rest and 79 after eXercise-in- dicated that the former champions heart action would be slower re. turning to normal than Sharkey whose pulse was at rest 6S and "A after exercise.
 "Dempsey's increasing blood pres sure is doubtless due to his age,' Dr. Walker said.
 Dempsey's weight indicated ht had trimmed off approximately 1. poudns in three weeks of training al Saratoga. Nevertheless it was con siderably over his poundage las September when he scaled 190 fol his losing fight with Gene Tunney.
 Sharkey was as cool and confiden as ever when he stepped on tht scales.
 "Ho, ho! So he was afraid to set me now, was he?" Sharkey remark cd, referring to Dempsey, as tho Bostonian turned to Dr. William Walker the commissions physician
 Asked what he expected to do tt Dempsey. Sharkey repeated his con, tenton that he would knock hin out"
 Wagers placed this morning were chiefly at odds of to on Sharke. to win. Most Dempsey packers were seeking odds on his prospects O scoring a knockout.
