PM Se Tea ee NO. 33—JACK DEMPSEY 9 AULIFFE had not been in Demp- sey’a camp very long before he became of the opinion that Dempsey was not the old Jack. He was confirmed in this belief the night before they left Galveston for New Orleans. ‘The citizens of Galveston gave Dempsey a big benefit that night, and it Wound up with a four-round bout be- tween McAuliffe and Dempsey, during the course of which it was undeniably olear.to McAuliffe that the middlewelght champion was far from being up to his usual fighting trim. Still, McAullffe, who had never seen Fitasiinmons either In or out of the etng, did not doubt that Dempsey wae still good enough to dring home the big end of the purse in the coming fight Prrzs Rigur SHOT OUT AND LANDED SLUtH ON JACKS JAW , ° This exhibition netted Dempsey $1,140, which McAuliffe took charge of. The -next day, three days before the date of. ithe fight, Dempsey and his party left Galveston, arriving in New Orleans the following day. The Dempsey party put up’et the St. Charles Hotel. While Me- Aullffe was strolling around the lobby Of the hotel he encountered a Fitasiin- ons enthusiast, who was so sure of his fighter's ability that ho offered to bet ,81,000 at even money that Di {would not stay ten rounds.

The referes pronounced them all right. Afterward the padding around the knuckles and fingers was worked up @round the wrist, leaving practically none around the knuckles, After the fight McAuliffe admitted that Carroll had outgeneralled him on this point. At 9 o'clock the men entered the ring. Dempsey was seconded by Gus Tuthil, Jack MoAuliffe and Mike Connolly, while Fitzsimmons had English Jimmy Carroll and Tom Duffy, The referee was Alex Browster of New Orleans. ‘The fight was under Queensberry rules. The fight started off with a rush, Fitzsimmons being the aggressor and having a slight shade on Dempsey dur- ing the first and second rounds. and almost out. Hut he regajned hi feet before the fatal count of ten and by clever ducking and dodging escaped further punishment until the bell rang. In the fourth round Dempsey was at his best and took the lead. During this round he showed @ flash of the form that had won him so many battles In days gone by, but in the fifth round Fitzsimmons again forged to the front and from that time until the end of the fight never relinquished his advan- | tage. in the ninth round Dempsey was all in. Ore of his eyes was closed and he was tn bad shape all around.
