He ought to be easier than Fulton.’ ‘Now I still think I had him doped right. He was a terrible fighter and it was almost an accident when he managed to land his right hand— the only thing he had in the world to recommend him as a heavyweight prospe “Accidents can happen in the ring. Don’t let anybody tell you they can't. It was an accident that Firpo beat me to the first punch in our fight, and this accident changed the entire complexion of the battle. “T missed a short lead to his head a moment after the gong sounded and when I missed the impetus of my body movement carried me flush into his right hand, which he held cocked at his side ready to swing. “He didn’t even have to swing it to turn me dizzy. The impact was enough. I wasn’t myself until after the rest between the first and sec- ond rounds and in the meantime I took an awful pasting from a guy T figured was a clown.” Dempsey says his fight with Car- pentier was a hard one, too, but for an entirely different reason. Found Training an Ordeal “It wasn’t hard fighting him, al- though he did sock me a pretty good clout in the second round. The hard part was in training. I knew I was too big und too strong for him and that I was a cinch to win unless I fell down and broke a couple of legs. “Yet I had to go through two full months of training—two full months ef hard work for a fight I knew I could win without training hardly at all. For the first time in -my life working for a fight was an ordeal. I hated it. The fun I used to know at training was gone.” I asked Dempsey if he was- having any “fun” training for this fight { JACK, FIRPO HARDEST CK, FIRPO HARDEST the qualifying medal, 6). STAR GOLFERS.
