Well, that's the trouble with
being one of those newspaper
fellers. Sometimes you don't
know which end of your story to
tackle first. Rays gallant stand
against the two-fisted Furr
stood in such creditably contrast
to Phil's long, annoying left and
darting. dynamic right, that
there is little to choose between
them, as one looks upon their
meeting in reprospect.
Licked from the opening bell,
on the ground so many times
and up again, forcing the fight
and leading, too, for the most
part, Ray Bowen upheld the
famous fighting Bowen family's
eschutcheon, and held it high.
I've seen five of those brothers
fight in their day, and mine,
and I've yet to see one of 'em
who knew when he was licked.
Phil Furr tried through nine
torrid rounds to impress on Ray
that he was playing tag with
sure oblivion, and Bowen wealth
cred it through all but 2
minutes and IS seconds of their
apportioned time, and then had
to be shown-with a right that
struck like lightning and which
must have ruffled the leaves Of
the old Bowen family album
back to the seventh generation.
Few there where who wouldn't
have given their fading Straws
for Rays chances in the second
round when he bumped the can
vas three times, Furr lifting him
on one occasion a foot into the
air with a right uppercut which
would have spelled "finiS" for a
less courageous fighter.
Ray came out of that trance
to hold Furr even in the third.
according to a private check we
were keeping, and from then on
managed to remain on his feet
until the sixth and not giving a
bad account Of himself mean
while.
But that sixth was as slash
ing a slaughter as ever a fighter
survived, Bowen appearing
ready to fall through the ropes

''T get this in many a spot"
said Dempsey. "ThOSe guys
think they're game and they
tell their friends what they told
Jack Dempsey. But they're
yellow. They know I can't hit
them, and they take ad-
vantage"
Bob FitzSimmons had his own
way of handling the challengers
who crossed his path. Fitz was
a convivial soul and patronized
many of the pubs throughout
the country. In one barroom
a broad shouldered neighbor-
hood bully Sauntered up to
Fitz and began to abuse him.
Old Ruby Robert smiled a
malicious smile and quite inno-
Gently led the annoyer on.
"T've got the greatest right
hand in the world" rOared the
neighbOrhOOd champion.
'NO doubt, no doubt" said
Fitz. 81 hit 'OOk or swing"
"Ill show yOu," shouted the
victim.
He let it go, and Fitz, rolling
with the lead, went to the floor
in a perfectly simulated knock
down.
Reverse Order
"Can 1 punch, Fitz? Tell
them, can I punch?" rOared the
thoroughly fooled sucker.
COW did you do that" asked
Fitz. Hit was a beauty, me
boy"
The victim led again. Fitz
shuffled inside, and snapped his
left to the chin. 1t took three
doctors to bring the victim back
from the land of nod.

Ross, they tell me, carries a
couple of stooges with him to
do all his impromptu boxing,
and pays them well for their
work. Naturally. discretion
tempers the handling of every
situation.
One Of the most annoyed
champions Of them all, and the
greatest Of them all was Jack
Dempsey. Every wasp wasted
ribbon clerk challenged Demp-
sey under any and all condi-
tions, and what could the
Manassa mauler do but laugh.
I remember a night in Cleve-
land last summer. Jack was
playing at a local theater, and
later went to a popular
restaurant. The inevitable
drunk was there, and he made
Dempsey the target for his
abuse. Jack laughed off most
of the cracks made by the
nuisance, but finally began to
boil.
Just at the time when your
agent feared that the indigna-
ton of Dempsey would geyser
into an eruption of left hooks,
the proprietor tossed the pest
out and threw his hat out
after him. Jack thanked the
proprietor, bought a drink fcr
the house and went to his
hotel.
