ANY one who saw the battle of
the binoculars can vouch for the
fact that all the questionable tao

them. were employed by Dempsey,
the list included butting with

To Jacks credit it must be
said that he never has been a
squawker and Immediately after
the bout took his defeat with as
good grace as possible. 1t was
his handlers who did all the pro-
testing, and if Dempsey himself
does lodge formal appeal it will
be because he was talked into it,

stands and the State Commission will
give no consideration to an appeal for
reversal. Chairman RiEheimer said.
The commission made ii clear that
it would give either Dempsey. or his
manager, Leo p. Flynn. hearing al
any time on any score. but the boxing
authorities also made it equally clear
that the commission has no idea of
reversing the verdict given in the
ring at Soldier Field last Thursday
night
Flynn said he intended pushing the
issue, despite the ruling Of the COM
mission, and would present COM
munication signed by Dempsey. as
requested by Chairman Righeimer.
when Richeimer told him Yesterday
that Flynn was not recognized by the
commission as Dempsey's manager.
Statement of Commission.
The Athletic Commission issued the
following statement;
"As far as the commission was CON
cerned. the bout was conducted in
accordance with the law. and the
rules as promulgated by the COM
mission, together with the instruc-
tions to the referee and the time
keeper before the bout. These in
etructions were given to the managers
and the contestants in the ring, be-
fore the bout started.
Therefore the decision as rendered
will stand and this commission will

second chapter of the Tunney-
Dempsey serial in Chicago will
form a topic of conversation
among ring worms until the third
edition is ready to be staged.
1t was, marked by two top
notch attractions, both provid-
ing plenty of action in the ring
and both giving rise to acri-
monious charges and counter
charges of trickery and poor
sportsmanship.
The first OF the years big al
frcsco affairs, that at the Yankee
Stadium two months ago in which
Dempsey stopped Sharkcy in the
seventh round. caused no end OF
protest that the Boston talking
machine had been fouled.
Low blows was the charge
the Sharkey adhcrents filed
against Dempsey. and moving pic
lures of the scrap were found to
both prove and disprove this con-
tcntion. according to the sympa-
thics OF the spectators.
'Long Count" This Time.
Long count" was the cry from
the Dempsey hackers when Tun-
ney was sent to the mat by
Dempsey last Thursday evening
and then regained his feet and
proceeded to save his. heavy
weight crown by making punch
ing bag of Jack the last three
rounds.
In the Sharkey affair the New
York Boxing Commission re-
fused to entertain the Sharkey
! plea to set aside the verdict
rendered i'll the ring. something
that never has been done in a
major fight, and it is safe to ven-
ture that the Illinois commission
similarly will decline to take any
action on the appeal lodged by
Dempsey hackers.
AS was the case in the Sharkey
setto, when Dempsey was the
accused, slow motion movies are
being seized upon to prove that
Dempsey. now the accuscr. was
the victim of discrimination, in
territorial or otherwise. on the part
of the third man in the ring.
Referee Enforced Regulation.
1t is contended that when Tun-
ney was down in the seventh
round the count was not
started until after the four or
five seconds needed to shoe Jack
to a neutral corner. while in the
eighth round when Dempsey
went down from a Tunney right
to the face Referee Barry started
the count Immediately.
The rule covering knockdowns
and with which Dempsey was
we'll acquainted reads that when
a knockdown occurs. the time
keeper shall immediately arise and
announce the seconds audibly as
they elapse. The referee shall
first see that the opponent re-
tires to the farthest corner and
then, returning to the timekeeper,
shall pick up the count with the
timekeeper, starting at one in
stead of at the count of the time
keeper, announcing the seconds to
the boxer on the floor. ."
The Dempseyites argue that the
same rule should apply to both
boxers. and, that of course, is true,
but what they overlook it that
when Tunney went down Dempsey
stood menacingly over him, poised
for more walloping. When he did
move, urged by the referee, it
was to his own corner only a few
feet from his stricken foe. from
where he had to be almost led to
the proper distant corner.
On the other hand. when Demp-
sey went down in the following
