Sport Talk Dempsey a Sport. Many Critics. A Good Fellow. BY HENRY L. FARRELL EW YORK, Aug. &—Jack Me- Auliffe, the genial fignttelgus | @ud the only champion who ever re Hired undefeated trom the ring, has| fn idea that Jack Dempscy may yet) ome into tho popularity that up to the timo of the present champion has always come as a heritage to heavy Weight title holders. ‘ | Dempsey, as is well known, !s not & hero in the public eye, for re That aro lard to explain. It might be going too far to say that Demp- Sey {8 tho most unpopular champion on the long list AUS ok John gon held even a lower place in the estimation of the public Johnson brought disfavor upon| Diunself by hix conduct after he had| Won the championship from Jim Jof-| fries, but Derapsey has done nothing | Since he won the title from Jess Wil- fard to bring discredit upon himself, | OF on the game that has b ta him. Dempsey’s war record got him in bad with the public and while most) everyone has fergotten there was} Such a thing as a big war, the im Pression still lingers that Dempsey | @idn't do something when he had the chance. Friends of the champion and those who are broad-minded enough to go) Daick to the days leading up to the War, know that Dempsey was largely the vietim of circumstances and poor advics MeAuliffo s that a fight with Luis Firpo, eh uth American #iant, will do much to win for Der fey the pudlic esteem that he d Rerves. Until the time that Demp- sey ts accepted as a nati fentative against a fore! have the opportunity to get him- felt back into favor, McAuliffe be-| Neves. “Carpentier was the first fore ) fighter to be cheered over an Amer- en and that can be explained,” Mc- Auliffe says. “The war records of the two fichters was the big issue ire, and the fight was staged at a time when the hardships of the war Was rathera fresh memory in the! #¥es of tho public. * “John L. Sullivan gained his great- | est popularity when he fought Mit-| Pehell, the sentiment beng “our"} Oehampion against a forelener, When |Dempsey meets Firpo, unless the an- | Imosity toward Dempsey tx too deep footed to be pulled ont, the Amer-| | Mean public will rally the same way behind the champton. © “Indications of this were shown In Hthe Firpo-Witiard fight when the trowd arose spontaneously and yelled for Willard to win when he rallied And seemed to have a chance.

It ts more the point to sny that he is a hhty fine fellow, obliging at all| times, affable and kind toward all| “and mighty generous in his treat-| Ment of friend and foe alike. Dempsey lacks only the moral| | background and the domestic s bit | ity of Tommy Gibbons, the most pop- Milar of all the boxers. It must be " Yemembered that Gibbons had oppor- | ; Ee tunities to become polished and to fw into the high plane In which | fives. Dempsey had no chance ‘to elevate himself in his youth, but} Phe has made tho utmost of his op- otitis since he won the cham-; hip. ) Just before the fight in Shelby, a "friend asked Johnny Kilbane, the / former featherweigiit champion, " which one he wanted to win. > “it will be a shame for either one “to lose,” Kilbane said. [Both Dempsey and Kearns acted| | like real sportsmen all thru the m ra at Shelby and they made many | ets It was a most difficult prop- ” sition to break thru the overw: A fing Gibbons partisanship t!
