TELLS EVENTS
Of HISTORIC
I929F|GHT
By JACK DEMPSEY

@~A@AN>@
Some folks wonder what's be-
come of Sally. but my concern is
over Luis Firpo. the Bull Of the
Pampas," who was reported ready
to sail back to the U. S. A. sew
eral months ago for the specific
purpose of mixing 1t with me
again.
Luis, hear. beams around $50,
and I have grown too elderly and
dignified to tangle up with fat
lads. But was always keen
about another meeting with Luis,
for the reason that I wanted to
prove to him that the victory in
1928 wasn't the fluke that he
claims.
I put on a sucker stunt with
him in the fight. Aimed to
gtiffen him with one left hook.
Had it all figured out. Rush
with the bell, meet him coming
out, let fly, crack his jaw ana
bring him down. Everything
worked out fine-except that I
didn't hit him. Made a COM
plete miss. The punch wasn't
high enough.
Then, instead of ducking cut
Of range, 1 tried to whirl back
to take another try-with my =
Jaw as uncovered as hatleSs
mans head.
A grand opening for Luis. And
he made good. Picked that load
Of right-handed dynamite off the
floor and nailed me on the but
ton! It was lights out" for
me during the rest of the first
round. The punch didn't floor
me but it made my knees buckle
and it knocked me goofy.
Wasn't Absent Long
Firpo always has figured it
that he should have won the
fight in the opener upon the
occasion of my reluctant de-
partnre from the ring. But, first
of all, I wasn't absent for 10
full seconds and so I couldn't
have been counted out.
Secondly, the yarn that is spun
about my being helped back into
the ring by friendly American
/. reporters" never has been wholly
fair to me. But Luis believed it,
and still believes it.
When i went through those
ropes I was aimed for a lot
of human heads. The owners
wanted to protect them. They
were too amazed at seeing me
flying through the air, and too
much in fear of having their
necks broken, to think Of help
ing me.
All they wanted to do was
help themselves by escaping from
. 194-pound bundle of dropping
humanity. They stuck up their
hands and broke my fall. Then
they proceeded to juggle me. They
Just pushed me away from them
selves. Being faced toward the
ring, that's the way they pushed.
No Thought of Help
II they had been faced opposite
they would have pushed in that
direction. They hadn't in mind a
''help Jack Dempsey thought.
They were just trying to shove off
something that might crack their
skulls or necks.
# I could just have landed on
something flat, instead of in a
tangle of arms, heads. typewriterS
and telegraph instruments,
chances are that could have
dumped up and been back in the
ring much earlier. But I was in
o confusion of things, and, al
though the boys did push, they
certainly weren't pushing in
Well-meant and helpful fashion.

IL naQ 0een plann6Q TO allow
each contestant to drive ten balls
in the preliminaries at the vari-
Gus clubs but golf chairmen have
pointed out that this method
would take too long to reduce
the field to the necessary two
representatives.
Therefore, it has been decided
to allow each contestant in the
preliminarieS to drive three
balls with the longest wallOp to
count. An entrant can drive
two balls Out-Of- bounds and yet
win the preliminary cOmpeti-
tiOn at his club with his re-
naming drive, provided it lands
in the fairway. 1t is necessary
to have at least one drive in
the fairway.
Different scoring rules will pre-
vail for the finals. The finalists
will be permitted to drive five
balls with a total Of the best
three drives to count.
Must Use New Ball
A competitor driving three balls
out-of-bounds in the finals will
automatically remove himself
from the running. He couldn't
possibly make up the lost ground
in two good drives while his rivals
were sending three drives down
the fairway.
The only other rules are that
the new ball must be used in
both the preliminaries and
finals while only amateurs are
eligible to compete.
Selection of dates for prelimi-
naries at the various clubs will
be made by the chairman Of the
golf committee at the club.
The preliminaries, however,
must be finished before Labor
Day as the finals will be held
during the second week Of Sep
tember. The preliminaries must
also be completed in a single day.
