Dempsey chased the chamuion round and round the ring. He couldn’t corner him. Jack challenged Gene with a leering ges- ture. But Gene was unimpressed. A half minute before the round had closed Tunney again was himself. The retreat was still on, but there were auses in which Tunney poked at mpsey's lacerated .face with his left. As it later developed, Dempsey's big opportunity had flown. The gong sounded to mark the end of round seven. I pulled my score card from my pocket. On it I made the en- try: Dempsey, 9; Tunney,.l 1 did not realize at the {ime that that round was going to play so important a part in my life. I didn't know that from that time on I was to be ridiculed, jeered and hooted as “14-count Barry.” A Matter of Speculation. What did happen is a matter of his- tory. May we pause to reflect on what might have happened? T had seen the possessor of a $2,000,- 000 title sprawling on the floor. had seen his foe attempt to stand over him and I had been convinced that this man on his feet—this Dempsey—would even slug Tunney while he was down. Would there have been a greater storm if the commission rule had been ignored and Dempsey had been per- mitted to stand over Tunney, and had struck him when he arose? Would there have been a greater storm had I permitted Dempsey to carry out his evident impulse to hit Tunney before he got to his feet and then had dis- qualified him? This is my guess— there would have been a riot. Acted From Habit. Perhaps I acted as an automaton. I have refereed more than 600 fights. I'm confident a man of slight experisnce might have forgotten the rules. Habit may have been as big a factor in my favor as judgment. Yes, perhaps I acted as an automaton. But fair men, familiar with the facts and in possession of a thorough knowledge of boxing, should be glad that I did. There were no two paths to take. Dempsey had to 0 to a netural corner. There was no leeway. Please read the rule again: “When a contestant is down his op- ponent shall retire to the farthest cor- ner and shall remain there until the count is completed. Should he fail to do so the referee shall cease counting until he has retired.” Dempsey mnever had obeyed the knockdown rule in previous fights. Some may say, “Well, the rule was only created for the fight in Chicago.” That is not so. The rule is as old as the Marquis of Queensberry. Rule Published in Press. Four days before the fight, in an article published in the Chicago Trib- une summarizing the principal rules under which the title battle would be waged, rule 87, the essence of the “knockdown law” which the commis- sion chose to strictly follow, was printed.

BY CHARLES W. DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer, CHICAGO, December 18.—A 20-year- old Cuban youth named Jose Armando, fightine under the warlike nom de plume of Armando Santiago, today be- came the foremost contender of the world junior lightweight championship as a result of his surprising two-round knockout victory over Joey Sangor of | Milwaukee last night. Sangor, hitherto regarded as the out- standing contender for the 130-pound title, was smashed to defeat in a spec- tacular battle that stunned the 10,000 spectators who filled the Coliseum. The freckled-face Milwaukee boy had accepted the match merely as a warm- up for his championship encounter with Tod Morgan of Seattle, the title holder, in Milwaukee on New Year day. Instead of finding Santiago a push- over, Sangor met a two-fisted fighter who traded punch for punch. By his spectacular knockout victory Santiago joined the pugilistic uprising that re- sulted in the elevation of Ray Miller, the conqueror of Jimmy McLarnin; James J. Braddock, who vanquished Tuffy Griffith, and K. O. Cristner, who lished off Knute Hansen with a ockout. Santiago finished Sangor like he was an ordinary ham-and-egger, instead of a contender for a championship. After a bristling first round, in which they traded punches like two longshoremen, Sangor came out confidently for the second. Within the twinkling of an eye he was groggy and reeling from a sharp right cross to the chin. s-nu-’o nailed him flush on the point of the jaw with a short right that knocked him silly. Sangor attempted to grab his opponent, but the Cuban wrestled him off and cracked him with another right. San- gor dropped to the floor for the count of nine. As he struggled to his feet his face was uhens ‘white lnb(é ‘!lljl: knees 'e‘l: . Santiago, boxing calmly an Wlellbenthn‘ let fly with another right that knocked Sangor half way across the fln{i where he sprawled flat on his face. He tried to get up on in- stinct alone. He managed to get him- self up to one knee, then slumped back to lh: floor, the victim of the fatal 10 count. Santiago, never before en in s wind-up of major importance, been boxing with indifferent success since he took up the sport three years ago. -
