BY BILLY ROCHE

Jack Dempsey, the original,
was hailed by critics as the most
perfect fighter of modern fish
cuffs. At his peak he was with
out a peer. Thus the tag THE
Nonpareil."
Dempsey - real name John
Kelly and a cooper by trade
was one of the three celebrated
Jacks of ring history - Sulli-
van, Dempsey and McAuliffe.
The LaBlanche swing stunned
the fistic world, Aug. q, 1889,
when the Marine knocked out
the great Dempsey with it in the
32nd round in San Francisco.
Dempsey took the bout as an
exhibition without special train
ing. LaBlanche outweighed him
10 pounds, but Dempsey gave
him an artistic trimming for 81
rounds. That was the situation
w hen La Blanche suddenly
swung around on his heel with
arm outstretched.
The back of his fist plopped
against Dempsey's jaw, knock
ing him colder than a loan
sharks heart. This led to the
pivot blow being barred.
MADE FITZ KUOCK HIM OUT
Dempsey's last big fight with
Bob Fitzsimmons took place in
New Orleans, Jan. IA, 1891. In
the 18th, Ruby Robert pleaded
with Dempsey to quit. He was
being that badly beaten.
"A champion never quits"
replied the Nonpareil. you'll
have TO knock me out" Fitz
mercifully obliged.
Dempsey, whose pare IS
brought him from Ireland when
he was very young, was en-
ployed in a Brooklyn cooper
age when he broke in as a col
lar-and-elbow wrestler at Harry
Hills famous resort in down.
town New York in 1888. but
after losing match to Eddie
Meehan in Revere Hall, Boston,
he turned to boxing - not such
a pronounced shift in the days
of London Prize Ring rules.
Dempsey had not been fight
ing three years when he was
recognized as the lightweight
leader. Jack McAuliffe took over
when he outgrew the class.
The Nonpareil stood five feet
eight, weighed $50 pounds at
his best. Dempsey's battle with
young Johnny Reagan, Dec. 13,
1887, was waged in two rings.
The first, pitched on a Long Is
land beach, became submerged
with water in the fourht round
and the battle-ground was NOV
ed 20 miles and the fight fin
ished in snow and cold. Demp-
sey won by knockout in the
45th.

WASHINGTON, April 4-tRy
Anvil Aaron Perry, the sem
sational Washington boxing
prospect with lethal punch in
either hand, takes the toughest
test of his young career tonight
in bout with Sammy Angott,
former national boxing associa-
ton lightweight champion and
veteran ring campaigner.
The boys will come out as
welterweights. Angott, who
lost TO Juan Zurita last month,
claims he was weakened by re-
ducing his poundage to the light
weight standard.
Angott ruled about 81 fav-
orite with the betting gentry,
largely due to his long exper-
fence and the fact that he's the
toughest customer Perry has en-
countered in his professional
career.
Perry, 18-year-old Washing
ton Negro with q string of 16
consecutive wins, is fast, has a
singing left jab and right
hand wallop that has been ter
rifle at times.
Harry Garsh, trainer-manager
Of Perry, claims his protege is
ready to take Angott.
