‘SATURDAAY, JUNE 23, 1923, DEMPSEY DROPS BIG BEN WRAY WITH BROKEN JAW IN TRAINING Oklahoma Giant Who Traveled 2,000 Miles for! Chance at Champion Stays Only 28 Seconds; Tracey Expected at Great Falls Today. GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 23.—"'Big Ben” Sayre, Okla., weighing 250 pounds, and standin two inches, today holds the world’s doubtful having been put out of commission for a longer period th Pied ee dtetine ion of ar any other boxer who ever traded punches with Jack “ sey, World’s heavyweight champion. i pees A broken jaw, left hook just 98 mds after Wray faced the champion atfer his journey of 2,000 miles to engage Dempsey in a training camp bout will keep the Oklaho! giant out of the ring for at least months, according to the physician who attended him. Wray, a former cowboy and oll rig ser down in Oklahoma, had been seeking @ match with Dempsey for several weeks, convinced that the heavyweight champion could not knock him ver. He came here against the best wishes of his man- ager, Tex" McCarthy, who had been knocked out himself in a few punches by Dempsey in 1918, “It will do the big stiff good,” was all the consolation McCarthy offered the fallen gladiator. As his protege's hulk crashed to the canvas McCarthy attempted a hollow smile, "I told him what would happen, but he just had to find out for himself," McCarthy sald, “Now maybe he'll Isten to what I tell him about this fight. He really thought Dempsey could not do very much with him. Now I guess he knows.” The first few seconds Wray wa» in the ring with Dempsey were Prophetic. ‘Wray. 2 rank novice, was nervous. He stuck out his left hand, but held his right tightly closed to his chest Uke an amateur, His hands might have been behind his back for all the protection they gave him. Dempsey spent a few seconds sizing up the seven foot two inches of pugilistic ambition in front of him and then un- corked a left hook that missed, but grazed Wray's ear. The second hook Dempsey lect fly also missed, Then Dempsey, with a tigerish leap crashed a left hook on the peak of Wray’s chin and the Oklahoma giant landed on his heels, falling backward as stiff as a board, The champion attempted ta lift him but Wray didn't know it. Johnny Kilbane, former featherweight cham- pion, who was refereeing, called time, rushed to Dempsey’s aid and helped drag Wray, his knees scraping the canvas, to the edge of the ring. Outside the ring and seated on the punching bag platform Wray finally smiled weakly, rubbed his jaw. swollen to the size of a hen's egg, and observed with @ groan to every word: “Man, how that guy can sock; bi a feller has got to learn some how.’ And then he watched the champion drive Bill Wolpin around the ring for a round in which Wolpin was floored twice. tained from a Jack Kearns. manager of the heavyweight champion, today awaited the arrival of Dan Tracey, the new executive in charge of the July 4 fight, from Shelby for a conference over the motion pictures.
