Dempsey Sets EN- Wild,

~ ALLAGHER'S rousing rally and
IT victory grabbed a show Jack
Dempsey and the new mamma,
Hannah, had threatened to take.
Both the ex-heavyweight champion
of the wdsld and the missus were
hailed to the ring and introduced to
the throng after the second prelim-
mary was out of the way and from
then until the Foggy Bottom buster
went wild it was their night.
Dempsey was the third man in the
ring through three fights. The most
impressive was that between Bob Will
son of Florida and Roy Manley of
Arkansas, welters. Both were cut
about their eyes during the furious
mauling and were blood-smeared most
of the way. Manley fought hard up
to the eighth, then weakened so much
under Wilson's heavy onslaught that
Dempsey stopped proceedings to give
Wilson technical knockout
In a six-rounder, K. o. Burns of
Baltimore got the vote of both judges
and Jack over the clowning Freddy
Heintz, Saginaw middleweight, and
in the first of the bouts handled by
Dempsey, a battle between heavies,
Carl Hyde of New Jersey got a tech
nical knockout over Mel Sheppard of
Baltimore.
In the first six-round go, Petey
Bevans, Army welters, and AL Parks
of Baltimore went to a draw. A scrap
between colored lightweights resulted
in win for Tommy Cross of Phila-
delphia over Able Cooper of Baltimore
by a second-round knockout.

McLarnin Is Better Set
for Ross Bout Than
Last Time Out.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN

to make the same mistake again.
Jimmy's ready, raring and confident.
Ross new found punch we take
a press agent gag only. Veteran
fistic doctors are almost unanimous
in the belief that fighter who never
could hit can never learn to develop
a kayo punch in month at train
ing camp.
We may be wrong as usual,
but if Barney fiattens Jimmy then
McLarnin is not the only guy he
looked at Orangeburg.
IF ROSS does knock out McLarnin
or even duplicates the previous
result, it's gonna be a sad day
for the Irish, starving as are no other
people in all flstiana-the race
whose Sullivans, Corbets. Tunneys,
O'Briens, McTigues, Loughrans, Brit
tons, McAuliffes, McGoverns and Kill
banes made boxing syonomous with
ould Erin.
What a vastly different set-up it is
now and will be unless McLarnin
wins back his welterweight crown
against Barnet David Sosofsky, product
of Newark sghetto. For the Irish boast
not single champion and, making
even more deplorable the condition,
will not boast even a serious con-
tender, If McLarnin's colors are low
cred in decisive fashion.
Jimmy would be forced to give
way then to Harry Dublinsky as
Ross leading contender for welter-
weight Iaurels. And Dublinsky, as
you may have suspected, Is not
Irish,

but it has been entirely different at
the next show.
3. McLarnin now has the one
needed fight under his belt that ne
lacked the last time. There was too
much ring rust clinging to his frame
in that affaiar. He also has put on
a better training act for this next
party.
4. With a weight advantage Of
some 8 pounds and the ability to
punch and hurt with either hand, he
has a large advantage in the way Of
offense, most of the big guns being
on his side.
These four. factors give McLarnin
a much better chance than he had
before. They should count heavily
in his favor-if any of the old Nc
Larnin spark is still burning.
