GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) Whether or not Jack Dempsey returns to the.ring this year, the famous Mauler of Manassa can hardly hope to add any greater thrills to the fistic pages than he did in his memorable battles with Luis Angel Firpo at the Polo grounds in 1923 and with James Joseph Tunney at i Boldier field in 1927. In all the history of heavyweight boxing there has never heen a mere savagely waged contest than Dempsey’s slugfest with Firpo nor a bout followed by greater controversy than that surrounding the “long‘ count” in Tunney's favor at Chicago, side fifty years from now. around Dempsey and his performances over the period of years from Toledo to Chicago will be as great as that which has been preserved in connection with John L. Sullivan up to this time. For Dempsey not only brought new competitive thrills to the prize 2'ng, but marked a new era in the boxing business—from the viewpoint of “gates” as well as the size of his purses. When they talk about his epic bout with Firpo, it is chiefly in | recollection of the white-clad Dempsey hurtling backward through the ropes and clear out of the ring from the force of a half-shove and a right swing, delivered in blind rage by the Wild Bull after he had been knocked down seven times in the first round. A world’s championship was in Firpo’s hands then and there, as the shaggy Argentine stood alone in the ring for a fleeting few seconds, but an upward shove from newspaper men acting in self defense helped the champion to regain the canvas and weather the storm. No two fighters ever went to their corners groggier than did Demp- sey and Firpo after that hectié“opencr. The seconds and handlers of the two men were too excited themselves to be of any use. Jack Kearns could not find his smelling salts for Dempsey and in the con- | FOR U. S.

But Dempsey's recupera- tive powers helped him and he was able to deliver the coupe de grace in the second round, knocking Firpo down for the ninth time and out. Three years later, with the memory of that fight as vivid to him as it was a few days afterward, Dempsey talked to this writer about it and told a version somewhat different from the popular conception. “The first punch Firpo landed did more damage to me than any other he landed,” Jack declared. “You remember how he came out with a rush at the start? He smashed me with a right to the side of the head before I could get set. €o was reach for him and clinch. of me all the rest of the round. ‘one that sent me out of the ring. My knees wobbled and all I could I saw at least three Firpos in front That punch hurt worse than the We were up against the ropes then and I lost my balance, but I was lucky to get back in and last the round.” It is a strange coincidence that Dempsey’s fight with Firpo was re- sponsible for the rule—about retiring to a neutral corner—that cost him a probable victory over Tunney at Chicago in 1927. If the Mauler got the “breaks” in his battle with Firpo he failed to get them at Soldier field, where the fourteen-count that Tunney received while Dempsey was being chased from one corner to another enabled the champion to secover faster from the effects of his knockdown in the seventh round. That seventh round possibly was Dempsey's last great charge, the final fling of one of the greatest two-fisted punchers of all time. For six rounds Tunney had piled up points, outboxing and outstepping his foe. Came the seventh, as the dramatists say, and quite properly. The tiger within Dempsey sprang at an opening. smash flush to the chin started Tunney down. A right-hand A half dozen more shots to the jaw and the champion was a dazed, blinking spectacle on the floor. The old savage spirit in Dempsey kept him near his prey. He stood over him menacingly, then moved unwillingly to his own orner’ nearby. The referee, Dave Barry, had started to count and reached “five” before he himself apparently awoke to the demands of rules, then motioned Dempsey to a neutral corner. The count was picked up at “one,” Tunney scrambled up at “nine” and flitted from Dempsey's reach. SEATTLE WINS .

It would give women rights to contract debts without permis- sion of their spouses. “It would be a great day for| house-to-house peddlers if the bill were passed,” Mrs. Viglinn said. “Women would buy radios and brushes and dictionaries and all manner of things they don't need.| The bill would increase divorces.”, —————— D NEW COSTUME JEWELRY Your attenizon is invited to a yesterday's shipment of costumc' Jjewelry.
