They know how Tunney, the master boxer, piled up a big early margin on points and how the issue really was decided | 4! by his slashing, three-round _finis but the debate will swirl fiercest around what may become the most famous “long count” in boxing his- tory. It was a strange trick of fate for Dempsey to see his big shot fall short in this fashion, for it was four years ago, in his famous sluggint match with Lu 0, that the Manassa Ma‘ is title through a similar “bi In the first round of that epic struggle, “Jempsey, after knocking down th giant Argentine seven times, was sent hurtling through the ropes by a right hand smash to the vy. Down and out of the ring the champion tumbled, but it took what many ob- servers declared to be a “long count,” plus the shoves of newspaper men, to get Dempsey back into the ring, dizzy and shaky, before “ten” had been reached. That Seventh Round Then, as was the case last night, the drama of conflict w: near-downfall of the king.

The mauler jogged, turning to keep in view the fast-stepping champion who was in- tent only on taking every advantage of a chance to clear his brain and regain command of himself. lempsey, it semed, might have Teaped in at once and pursued the upper hand but he seemed annoyed by, and disdainful of, the champion’s tetreating tactics. As Tunney cir- cled the ring for the sixth or seventh time, Jack stopped, dropped his hands and beckoned: : “Come on and fight!” Caution, just then, was the better part of ring strategy to Tunney. He con- tinued dodging until Dempsey, with a furious dash, connected with sev- eral hard smashes to the head. But the challenger’s spurt was too late to accomplish much more damage.

They Learned Who Won About an Hour Later Two-thirds of those who remained in the rim-side seats, three city blocks from the ring, actually did not learn who won the fight until some time afterward. This was due partly to their great distance from the white-lighted ring, partly to the twisting thousands that screened their view; and partly to the confusion that seemed to exist in the ring itself. The referee’s count over Tunney in the seventh round seemed wi consciously long to the far-from-the-ringsiders but, as one of them ex- plained, light only travels 180,000 miles a secohd. Those who came late and had the temerity to seek their exact loca- tion in the five-dollar sections were greeted by guffaws by nearby fans, for there had been much nudging forward, a row a time, by those way back, so that the best of the cheap seats were occupied as soon as the fight preliminary was on. Nearly every one, 71 per cent glasses—telescopes, field glasses or ju: at any rate, carried some kind of the little lenses that sold for a Tr. To these five-dollar folk without optical aid, the ring was a dot of light when the fight started, the figures of which swung thei: arms, or rushed each other, for all the world like figures in a fantastic dream. The actors were such vague characters as one meets in that dusk between consciousness and unconsciousness—unreal, eerie—and somewhat absurd. Fighters Look Like Toy Men From Seats blows dwellers on the over their wheels in taxis ‘ith which Dempsey dropped Tunney were as obscure to ive-dollar planks as they were to Jehus nodding aiting outside. All that could be seen were two toy pugilists, one in white trunks, the other in red, knotted together in a corner until the legs of one of them seemed to melt, dropping a champion onto the canvas floor. The smoke from tens of thousands of cigarettes, cigars, pipes and from the flash powders of the comera men create da fog over the bowl. Those in the “izzard” seats experienced the sensation of seeing the fight as though from above the clouds. Some of the more philosophical consoled themselves with the belief that they at leasi could see the huge scoreboard across the stadium from them—a board that carried the names “Gene” and “Jack” in yard-high letters, with a place for the round number and the round number and the recording of any knockdowns. Last Straw Nearly Broke Camel’s Back Even this trifling satisfaction was denied them because when the fight got under way, the holders of seats in front arose, blotting out the board. The difficulty of which the five-dollar spectators complained was no tso much the distance from the ring, but the too slight sloping of On advantage did the five-dollar seats have—they were nearest the its and consequently were able to get out firs' ese cave dwellers of Soldiers’ Field were “at” the fight anyway, And some of them learned who won—and this is no exaggeration—when they bought papers downtown some time later. plies hibianeacabieeihadal dled fie al a eA hs Rica ROUND ONE The fight started at 10:07. Demp- sey missed a left lunge, falling into a clinch. Jack piled in again with two left hooks to the ribs. In_the clinch that followed, he clipped Gene four times with a right on the back of the head. They sparred cautious- ly, Dempsey preferring to feint for openings while Tunney laid back Gene snapped a left to Dempsey’s 's|chin and followed with a solid right smash to the chin. Jack fell into a clinch, taking another right to the head as he came in. Jack sicomped a left on Tunney’s body. Jack ed away while the champion follow- ed him across the ring with a volley of left and right hooks to the head close to the ropes. Gene missed an overhand right as the bell sounded. ROUND TWO Dempsey was fighting cautiously, apparently seeking to evade the dis- astrous first round. They came out boxing again and Gene shot a left and right to the chin. They were punching, boxiug hig! Gene drop- ped an overhand right to Dempsey’s chin after chasing him to a corner.

Gene missed two more lefts while Jack clipped two short left hooks to the body as Dempsey lung- ed low. Tunney missed again but managed to catch himself and flick two soft lefts to Jack’s face as the round ended. ROUND THREE ain they boxed tefully and slowly in the center of the ring.

Great and near great, governors, movie stars, old time fight kings, industrial giants, financiers and plain sport fans “-um all parts of the country, New York, San Fran- cisco, Minneapolis and New Orleans, rubbed elbows in the rush for Sol- diers’ Field and the stadium. So fast did they filter in on every route leading to Chicago that only a pro- Portionate few of the proitinent were checked. Among the reprezentatives of the motion pictures were Gloria Swan- son and farg,aret Livingstone, Joseph Schenck, husband of Norma Talmadge, and his brother, Nicholas enck, Dudley Field Malone, the cham- jion’s meticulous attorney, James W. ffroth, owner of the Tia Juana race tracks, Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner of the New York Yankees, and General lies, governor of Lower California, Mexico, were also among carly comers. The Marquis of Blandford, son of the Duke and Duchess of M.+l- borough, arrived on the Twentieth Century as a guest of Harold S, Vanderbilt, in his priv ‘e car “Idle- wild.” The Duchess of Marlborough was formerly Consuelo Vanderbilt. The Marquise, daughter of the Earl of Caidogan, also accompanied Mrs. Vanderbilt. The Marquis of Douglass was another of Britain’s bluest bloods in the city for the fight. Walter P. Chrysler, auto manu- facturer, brought a party in with private cars, and the Harrimans, owners of the Union Pacific, also came in 1 private car.

Mayor Thompson of Chicago let it be known he would sit in a $30 seat, bought and paid for by himself. Estelle Taylor, Jack Dempsey’s actress wife, was under a_nurse’s care as the hour of the fight drew near. Quict was the order about her apartment. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Field and a party of friends stepped down from the Broadway Limited with hundreds of other fans. The group including Mrs. Vincent Astor, Robert McKay, Mrs. C. H.

In last night’s Tribune Wil- liams, special sports writer of this paper, predicted a Tunney victory. And this is why he predicted a victory for Gene: “Tunney has more stamina . He is faster . . . He is a splen- did body puncher. . The knowl- edge that he mastered Demp- sey before has stiffened his fighting fibre and his moral sinews... ” And that was the way it happened. Tunney’s cool ring generalship won for him in the end, just as Joe Williams had predicted it would.

Dempsey has crowded more thrills into less fighting space than any other champion. Tunney, ex-Marine, a world war veteran who fought his way up from ‘he ranks, has packed all the old elements of drama in his rise to the peak. Dempsey, born to the rough and |tumble life, slugged his way to the title with probably the most furi- ous attack that the ring ever saw. |The “Dempsey of Toledo” that top- pled mountainous Jess Willard has became a ring epic. | Boxing skil. well developed, and ‘rare determination in th- face of obstacles have been the principal assets in Tunney’s equipment. Sel- dom spectacular, as was Dempsey, Gene climbed the ladder by com- paratively slow stages. The prod- uct of the Sidewalks of New York developed from a “fair to middlin” light heavyweight into a first-class, then heavyweight, champion Are Different in Personality Dempsey, the weaving, rip-tear- ing slugger, and Tunney, the cool, resourceful boxer, are as different in personality as they ar_ in fight- ing equipment. A “hale fellow well met,” Dempsey remained “one of the boys” even after risine to afflu- ence in the fistic world. He has always -been approachable, friend- ly, a “kidder.” mney, on che oth- c hand, is more: reserved in hie ecntacts. Although not ‘* igh hat,” a some of his critics ccntend, he has shown less inclination tham Dempscy to take the spotlight. Popularity, however, does not seem to go with the championship. Demp- sey, first because of criticism of his war-time record nd later be- cause of his ring inactivity, was the target of man, attacks, His senti- mental appeal to the mass of fae dom dates from his defeat by Tun- ney and his refusal to alibi himself, Tunney’s vorularity, oddly enough waned upon his advent tc the title heights. He was booe. in: New York ring a few weeks after cap turing the championship, but it didn’t disturb his philosophic atti ie, Packs Drama in Fig tts Dempsey has pack © diama into ights. His sensational knockout of Willard, his quick victory over Carpentier, his thrilling two-round triumph over Firpo after being sent flying through the ropes in the first round, his game but dismal downfall at the hands of Tunney and his sensational, as. well as disputed, knockout of Jack Sharke, this year—all of these battles summon back pictures of vivid action. More of the defensive type. de- pending on the sLarp-shooting fects of his counter punches, Tun- ney nevertheless has displayed hit- ting ability which might be conspic- uous in any other day than one that boasted a wailorer of Demjsey’e order. In his ‘moekoms of Tom Gibbons and Bartlcy MadJeu, twe victories that put Gene in che front rank of ti:le contenders, Tunne’ exhibitea a real finishing punch. Although not of the “killer” type, Tunney’s blows nevertheles3 are de- structive.
