Motion pictures of the battle of the century are now being shown in a number of the leading New York theaters. These pictures show conclusively that Dempsey didn’t waste any sportsmanship on the visitor from the Argentine, On only one occasion after knocking Firpo down did he retire to the farthest corner of the ring. Instead he circled around the challenger and usually worked from behind. At one time he stepped right over the fallen body of his foe and assumed a position a few feet away, awaiting Firpo's rising. Referee Johnny Gallagher cer- tainly was kind to Dempsey, Not once did he caution the champion as to his tactics, Who {s this Johnny llagher? New Yorkers are now asking this question, In New York state are a dozen ref. erees far more widely known who were entirely overlooked tn mak- ing the selection for the big fight. It is a cinch that Firpo will have something to say as to the referee when the two men meet again.
