He had some coin in his ‘The man in the other corner turned out to be Joe Bonds, Jack licked him in 10 rounds and was paid $235 He then went to Ogden, Utah, and) drew $250 for trimming Terry Kellar in 10 rounds, A battle with Dick Gil bert followed.

This time they hand him $47. His third Bastern go was with John Lester Johnson, a negro fighter. “That bird was one of the tough- lent I have ever met,” Dempsey says. | “He knew all the acientific points and I knew none of them.” Johnson broke several of Dempsey‘s riba, but Jack copped the declaion and took away about $100.

What is this fighting instinct and what does it mean? The question brings for- ward a real truth that is closely related to it, and that ts that the hand ts quicker than the eye It is due to the fighting Instinct, RLOW BLINDS KETCHES. It may sound stranga, bat & & a fact, that the fist seas opportunity before the eye and ts in motion be fore the eye has fully grasped the Jack Dempsey’s Career Goes East—takes count from Flynn, to Utah, then found employment tn a Seattle shipbuflding plant, giving up his employment there to return to Utah, following the murder of one of his brothera, Soon after this tragedy tn Jack's life ke waa taken In hand by Jack Kearns, who had heard of the bat Uer’s various muccensen, “Crude as you might be now, you can be turned into a champion, you're properly trained,” Kearns told Jack. “Wl you train me? snapped Demperey. “You're on,” anid Kearns.

If the eye is trued up to real “jndge of distance” it will ateer the fist on the right course for the spot aimed at, ‘That ts one angie of the true fight ing tnetinet. The ether ts the one that causes the real fighter to fight under any circumstances, even if dazed or bilnded. T can cite many Instances ef what this angie of fighting instinct ean or will do for a fighter. Take my bout with Jersey Frankie Burns. There | was a cumester for you: He was | knocked aa cold as a wedge, but after he had been revived—an op eration that consumed severn) min- utes—he leaped out of his chair and wanted to fight me, his seconds, the referee, anybody that happened to be fn the ring. Fighting Instinct alone prompted him. FIST FASTER 1 ae THAN EYE rua Another notable case of firhting Instinct was that In Stanley Ketch- el's fight with Billy Papke in Ver non, Cal, tn which Ketchel lost the middlewelght championship, Early in the fight Papke socked Ketchel fairly between the eyes with a right hander. The blow blinded Ketchel, but he continued to fight by instinct until beaten in the 12th round. Dempsey has plenty of fighting instinct of both kinds. His fists are quick to go after an opening and he can fight by instinct when badly hurt. He showed that in his fight with Gunboat Smith in San Fran- cisco. Smith tn those days had a terrific right-hand punch and in the second round he landed it Mush on Dempary's chin. Jack had been watching for that particular punch from the opening bell, but Smith's instinct, which manifested itself first in his fist, was faster than Jack's eye. Dempsey succeeded in weathering the storm, fought with his fists without any assistance from his brain thruout the re mainder of the four rounds and won | the decision, He was still out on lhin feet when they took him to his dreasing room and when restored to his senses his first question was: “Who won the fight? INSTINCT WON It was Instinct that pulled sey thru and won the fight for him. Carpentier, on the other hand, never has been punished to the point where his fighting instinct was test- ed to the uttermost. For this test is not administered by a knockout, but by gruelling punishment, (Copyright, 1921, by N. M A) Vulcan Trucks The road to suc- eéss is paved with confidence.
