When they say t tock more gameness to fight a man who bad bare fists than a man. with the gloves, they don’t know what they're talking about,» Jack MeAuliffe, the retired unbeaten lightweight champion, said recently, in a fanning bee about the old times: A good hitter can inffiet more damage with a light glove than he can with the bare fist, because he eam hit harder and he can get bet~ ter punches on the face or body with a glove than he could with the big advantage a Sghter has love is that he has something a grip en. Im the old days I was fighting with bare fists, used to try snealc a mateh-sticit © something or @ handful of syns im my hand. They would give me something to grip. Otherwise the muscles of the hand would get so tired that it was almost impossible to grip the hand tightly or to even close in. ou will notice that many run ners have regular cork grips to put in thelr bands when: they ping.. idew,js. following. theory of the ald fight day: MeAuliffe pointed out that with he gloves it is sametimes possipie to snealt something into the hand to add td the force of the blow or to get something inside the bandages or the ining of the glove. “Mm our days,” he sald, “it was impossible to get a plaster of paris case onthe hands or to held am iron slug in the hands like some of the fighters do now. The beatings that some of the modern boxers have to take now could not have been in flected in the bare knuckle days." Tt always has beem maintained by ities, who do not feel friend: y toward the champion, that Demp- sey had bis hands packed when he fought, Jess Willard at Toledo and won « hip, The story was de neerned and the Insist » which Jimmy de the statement that nothing but ordinary nis hands added strength y denials, trained Dempsey for the Willard fight an was his chiet secorm during the battle. De Forest has no reason to stretch a point of truth for the champion, as he was et gut right after the fight and there is no reason why he should feel tied by any bond» of loyalty to cover it up if Dempaey’s handy were slugged with plaster of paris. It seems unusual, however, that Dempsey should have caved in the face of the giant Willard when he of Texas, 10 to @ Promoters of Texas induced the team to go to Mexico City and play some exhihi- tion games. But in those days the Tigers were not supported by an organized ath- letic department and the team lucked the money to make the trip possible.

Huan Mcbanwan, Pr G. H, Dinurmasums, had never inflicted such damage on ether opponents before that time and has never, shown such crashing power since then. Curpenter left the ring without a mark, but it might be argued that Dempsey didn't have to smash the smaller Frenchman. Gibbens left the ring in Shelby with nothing more than a bruise om bis groin from @ low punch and Dempsey had ne reason to pull his punches tn that fight. Firpo wasn't badly marked when he was dragged from the ring im the Polo Grounds and Dempsey had every reason to get savage enough to murder the South Amert- cam in that fight. Tt t# quite possible, however, that peey nevur was in the same m™m and on the same great edge as he was in the Willard fight and that he never will be the same per fect machine again. He never wil! be if there is any truth in the theery thet an athlete reaches his best at only one time in his career, Be cause Willard was such a huge man, Dempsey may have been forced to bit harder and mere accurately than he had ever done before or since and tt might be that Willard was softer about the face and head than any of the ether opponents Dempsey met. Willard certainly was.soft inside, and he may have had a seft sheil.
