THE SPORTZICHT
Louis Is Rated Superior to Dempsey
When Man Mauler Was i'm His Prime.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Camera, and so was Firpo. At least,
I'd have liked Willard or Firpo
against Camera at even money. But
Dempsey stopped one in three rounds
and the other in less than two.
Odds Against the MauIer.
IN A Louis. 1895, and a Dempsey,
1919. meeting, the odds would have
been against the Old Mauler for the
simple reason that good boxers always
gave him trouble-G Gibbons at Shelby,
Tunney at Philadelphia and at Chi
cago-Greb and Loughran in training
camp workouts. Hard punchers have
trouble in mailing moving targets.
Against this opinion, no one
knows how Louis would look
against first class competition.
He has to be taken largely on
faith in form.
The opposing maneuvers offered by
Carnera, Levinsky and Baer proved
nothing. The three together made
little more than a threatening gesture
He cut the feet from under one pretty
good boxer, Lee Ramage, but the
others seemed to be hypnotized when
they came face to face with a shutting
advance that lost no time moving into
range.
But what would happen with the
Dempsey of the 1919 vintage weaving,
bobbing and piling in with both hands?
If Louis elected to stand and slug,
swapping artillery at close range. one
of the two would fall out of the parade
in less than three rounds.
Dempsey's main advantage would be
greater experience and harder compe-
tition. His main disadvantage would
be in tangling with better boxer who
isn't any too easy for any one to hit.
Louis is far from being an open
target. Yet even this must come in
the form of a guess, since no one has
made any earnest attempt to prove
the durability of his jaw or his stom-
ach.
The main point for the time
being must rest at this spot
that Louis is the top combina-
tion of boxer and puncher. in
Guiding ring coolness, that the
game has turned up.

The Dempsey Of 1919.


RUT the phantom show that starts
and closes most of these argu-
ments Is built around the Jack
Dempsey of. 1919 and the Joe Louis
of 1895.
In 1919, Jack Dempsey had grey
hound speed. He was weaving,
shifting target, not only fast on his
feet, but fast with either hand. He
had the lash of leopard with either
left or right. He wasn't the boxer
that Louis is and he was no faster
with his hands. But mis- foot action
would take him in and out quicker
than the Louis shuttle moves around.
On top Of this, Dempsey had
what Jim Corbett called "the
greatest ring spirit ever saw,
not even barring John L. Sulli-
van"
He had an iron jaw and his attack
usually was a two-flsted explosion.
Don't forget that, on his way up,
Dempsey almost wrecked such fighters
as Bill Brennan, Gunboat Smith, Carl
Morris and Fred Fulton. Fulton had
a fine left hand in those days and he
wasn't any flop as a boxer. But
Dempsey caught and closed him out
in 18 seconds.
