/ Weel: CLEVERNESS OF GIBBONS 'THWARTED THE CHAMPION SOME KEEN BATTLES DUE IN TITLE SERIES CLASHES Jack Did Not Get Much of Chance to Land at Long Range—Titleholder, Though, Apparently Has Lost Power in Short Jolts. Forty-five Games Are Scheduled, Bringing Several of Leading Contenders in Each Section Into Combat—Two Big Upset i BY SPARROW McGANN. HOSE who hold Jack Dempsey has lost his punch have some ground I for their contention. But they are not altogether right in their deduction. In fact when one considers the wonderful strategy Tommy Gibbons employed in fighting the champion and couples this with the challenger’s rugged stamina—he has never been knocked off his feet in his entire career—the thought occurs that it was not so umch any failing power in Dempsey’s wallop as it was the qualities which the St. Paul man displayed that kept him in the running for the entire fifteen rounds. i It is almost time to bury the® dead for the Dempsey-Gibbons scrap has been over several days, and it is a long time for post mortems, but the writer en route back to New York, where they fall for million-dollar purses and battles of the century, can't refrain from discussing the uni- versal topic in pugilistic circles today, namely “has the Manassas mauler lost his wallop?'™ .

The manner in which the experts fell down in dop- ing out the Dempsey-Gibbons bat- tle—and this writer was one of those who thought Jack would knock Tommy for a goal before the eighth round passed into history—shows that experting in pugilism is ridicu- lous in its futility.
