The first round Dempsey sent home a body blow, which the big tellow never re- covered. : The gong alone saved him from defeat in this round, for with swol- len cheeks, right eye closed, Dempsey knocked him down or threw .him helpless against the ropes seven times. Dempsey though he had won when the gong sounded and had to be brought into the ring. Willard, who towered-above Dempsey, his an- tagonist,, like. a lighthouse over a tug acted;like a sick man. He was beaten and knew it. He swung wildly and feebly, while kLis relent- less antagonist pounded blows like a great riveting machine. There were cries of “‘Stop it!’” “Stop it!” “It’s murder!” Jess managed to last out the third round and sank into his corner where he was given aromatic gpirits of ammonia. Tried to smile —and then his seconds surrendered the match. . Willard said: “In the first round when Dempsey hit me with a left hook, I tried hard to continue, but I was rapidly losing my strength. eye was closed at the ~n of the third round and I realized that it would be useless for me to continue, as I could hardly see. It is hard to ad- mit defeat, but Dempsey is the hard- est puncher I ever faced.” y Dempsey said: *“I told you I would knock him out in the first round and to all intents and purposes that is what I did.” He took a lot of pun- ishment in the next two rounds but was soon so feeble that I hated’to have to hit him.” ~ It is probable that Champion Dempsey’s first move will be toward the vaudeville or burlesque state, he told friends today. His purse for ad- ministering the most effective wal- loping ever given in a ring is a mere pittance compared with the roll col- lected by Willard for assimilating the punishment. Willard, the giant, who fell seven times in the first round be. fore the Utah battler’s pile driver brows, rested today, his wife sooth- ing his wounds. There were rumors all night that Willard suffered a broken jaw but he claims this a mistaken report. He does not admit that he lost any teeth but Dempsey and others claim they saw him spit out three on the canvass of the ring. Dempsey claims he knocked Willard out twice and that he should have been given the ver- dict in the first round. TO HOLD UNION MEETING. Rev. A. M.
