FARRELL 3 as badly as ho ¢ wind seems to be gets around with in his work Punches of Champ Lack: Former Kick Dempsey Does Not Im- press Writer as Being in His Best Condition BY BOB DORMAN EAT FALLS, Mont., June 20.— Is Jack Dempsey slipping? That is the question that is today causing more than one heated argu inent among the patrons of the fight | game in these parts. In the Dempsey camp confidence runs h No one appears to ques tion the ability of the champion to ake care of his Fourth of July opponent. His sparring partners are loud tn praise of Dempcey’s work talks confidently of future have disappointed has been the target for the punches of sparring partners who would haye been easy marks for} ne Dempsey that brought Willard More than once has the crimson flowed from Jack's face during the few workouts that he has held in the past three weeks. Tire old kayo punch that caused a steaily stream of human punching bags to flow in and out of the Dempsey chmp during the training | periods of previous fights, has been | conspicuous by its absence. True, he has dropped several of his trainers. But they have bounced off the floor immediately. Very dif- ferent from Toledo, Benton Harbor and Atlantic City. The Italian, who was fired from the camp for opening a cut champ's eye by butting (tho there are many who saw the incident who claim it was a hard, right-hand| punch that did the damage) is now | helping Gibbons condi@n himself. After his first workoutgwith Gib- bons I asked hyn to compare the two men, He sald: “Gibbons hit me four times to Dempsey's once. He is much the faster man of the two, in my opin- jon. Dempsey’s punches hurt the most, but at that they,were not of the knockout variety. But probably neither of the two were putting all they could on their blow: But fans who saw Dempsey tear into the Italian after he had cut his eye open, are of the opinion that Jack was leveling. If so, the cham. pion’s punch would seem to have lost much of its former power. And if Jack has lost the terrific punching ability that made him one of most feared titleholders in thers of the ring, the Fourth of ly may see a new heavyweight king crowned. For Dempsey’s sole defense has always been the tearing, crushing attack that earned him the title “The Tiger of the Ring.” Dempse CHICAGO, June 20, ‘Strangler" Lewis has asked local wrestling pro- moters to find him some opponent other than Stanislaus Zbyszko. “I have beaten him so many times,” says Lewis, “that our matches have gotten to to be too much of a Joke.” Attention, Pile Drivers ile Driver Contractor, le Drivers and Hoisting Don't be misled by the pen Shop plan na clalmed No union men aro jon men left concern when refused t tions granted by all of for Vile Driver Men are ‘t tnke 87 on i Sent Jo Vile Driver Men wanted, Apply Koom 107, Labor Rocco Stramgalgia, | over the} 1928 | How 1 Tommy Has Made His Ha nds] Gibbon: A tennis ball has toughen Gibbons’ hands ‘tit?
