Titans to Open New york's Cage Season
Long Count
Still Echoes
BY DAVIS j. WALSH
international News Service sports writer

InNrnAtionAi news service sports Wrtter
CHICAGO, Dec. Quite pos
sibly for the first time since an
occasion that has become as his
toric as the Johnstown flood and
the blow that killed. father, Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney this
morning were here recently Cat
the same time) in the town where
il all happened so long. long ago.
And Dave Miller, the Publican
of N. Clark street, gazed for a re-
Elective moment down the length
of the bar and then conceded-17
years later-that If he'd been the
referee that night, Dempsey would
have been the winner by knock
out in the seventh round.
Mr.. Miller was to have been the
referee that night, make no mis-
take about that. But, instead, he
wound up squatting morosely
upon his launches at the ring
side, while the late Dave Barry
officiated. and the thing that's
known as the long count contro-
versy ensued.
TEN sECONDS-NO MORE
Ontroversy?" the guy
snorted so violently a customer
suddenly paled and timidly
added a few languid looking
bills to the little pile before him
on the bar. "Tunney was down
for 10 seconds-no matter
what system you use. And 10
seconds are out CO I'm any ring.
BARRY must have been using
the hour glass system" he
added. not so much in con-
tempt apparently, as in BATTLE
ment about the actions of a
fellow official.
AS he put il, Barry was a col
lege man and all that. but not
very quick on the latch-string
when confronted by an emer-
gency. The emergency was that
Dempsey, after scoring a knock
down in the seventh round, had
gone to his own instead of a neu-
trail corner. as provided by the
rules. But. ii seemed. that was
nothing. in any case, to
get panicky about.
HOW 1T GOES
You simply sent the man TO the
right corner. picked up the count
from the man designated as the
official timekeeper, finished the
count over the defeated man and
to have him properly
toted to his corner.
Dempsey was I'm Q neutral
corner well before 10 was
reached" added the party who
was TO have refereed the fight.
"And when 10 was reached,
Tunney was In no mt condition
for anything but n shroud.
That's all there Was to IL.
and personally l don't care how
many more than 10 seconds
passed during the incident. The
only thing that matters IL that
10 was reached under proper
con itlons, that one man
couldn't get up and yet the
other man lost the fight"
Just to keep the books balanced,
by the way, ii can be stated that
the Tunney people had the shift
made from Miller TO Barry,
claiming there had been a change
In the betting odds in favor of
Dempsey and that Al Capone was
in seeing the latter
win.
Probably they reasoned that
Capone had dropped everything
so he could devote himself to this
project but. anyhow, the Nlnney
people (by one device or another)
we're able to convince the boxing
that change of
referees was the very thing TO
Illustrate the whole dastardly
business. But even the Tunney
people couldn't have counted on
all the frustrating Barry was TO
do that evening.

sport"
The English nobleman declared
men fight only IS rounds for
worlds championships.
'They are champions for 10
or Is rounds depending on what
distance the Tight Is scheduled
for" the marquis said.
"A real championship should
90 all the way until one man
says he has had enough" con-
tinued the English promoter.
He said he knew of many fight
ers who don't begin TO get
warmed up until they fight 10
rounds.
BAD IN EVERY WAY
Most present day boxers, ac-
cording to the English authority,
have lost the art of being able TO
punch their weight. They have
lost timing. the art of sidestep-
ping and then hitting as the en-
envy lurches by. he said.
Supporting this theory, Lord
Queensberry recalled Gentleman
Jim Corbett. Benny Leonard and
Jack Dempsey all, gave away
weight in many of their fights
yet won because of greater skill
and striking power.
Lord Queensberry openly ad-
mltS he became a boxing enthusi-
asst purely by accident. He was
born when Bob Fitzsimmons, the
last Englishman TO hold the
heavyweight title, was at his
peak. All England was fight
conscious then.
A banker. the grandson of box
ing's lawmaker. visited New York
in 1927. He was a guest at a
dinner party and suddenly found
himself in a strange smoky arena
called Madison Square Garden.
Feeling a little flippy from the
American "grog' served during
the dinner, Lord Queensberry
thought he was hearing things
when he was introduced to the
crowd as that great boxing au-
thority from London, England"
1t was the first real boxing
show he ever had attended. On
his way back to England, Queens
berry felt he should learn some
thing about the game. because of
his family name and the recog-
