_THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1918 DEMPSEY WILL BEAT WILLARD BEST SPORTING SAME WAY HE DID FULTON en Looks Safest of Ring Prophecies After Last Week’s Fight at Harrison, N. J.—New Sensation Has Shown More Class in Last Few Weeks Than Willard Ever Possessed—Present Champion Scores Knockout Only When Driven to Despera-| tion—His Latest Rival Puts Finishing Wallop Over in Nearly Every Battle. BY ROBERT EDGREN. Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Oo. (The New York Evening Work, HEN | see a big fight I always hold a split second watch and start it with the ttmer's bell. & there is a knockdown I stop the spft second hand, and if ®ho fighter ts counted out I stop the second hand. This gives the exact time of the knockdown and checks up on the referee's count. When Jack Dempsey knocked Fred Fulton down last week at Har- meson I watched Fulton falling, and as his shoulders hit the floor I stopped the split second hand and registered the exact time of the knockout. It was 183-5 seconds There followed, of course, the ten-| second count. Referee Eckhardt gave Fulton full measure—just 14 seconds. | But when Fred had been on the floor three or four seconds any one with half an eye could see that he wouldn't | be up again if he had a minute to recover tn. The man who could knock Fred Fulton out in less than nineteen seconds could do the same to Willard. It looks like the safest ring prophecy ever made to say that Jack Dempsey will be Willard's master if they ever meet in the ring. In all of his ring career the ponderous Kansas giant never showed @ sign of the class Dempsey has shown during the past few weeks. Look back at Willard’s old fights. He used to go through to the end no-decision bouts with Boer Rodel, Carl Morris, Luther McCarty and | rs who never had any part of the fighting ability of this Dempsey lad. | ‘Wilard landed a few knockouts @—<————_———___ when driven to desperation, althoagh his whole instinct was to “play it eafe” in every bout.

And after ail that those rude, ruffaniy Cubs with their dirty looking uniforms proceed- ed to whale the life out of our Giants, They mauled Perritt for three runs in three innings, rushed the attack and upset the Giant defenses, and McGraw, possibly foreseeing that there was little chance to beat Tyler, who was pitching the Giants to death, yanked Perritt to save him for future reference and sent Schupp to the slab, thereby conceding the game to Chicago. McGraw, it was evident fram the first, was desperate. When Perritt failed all was fost, and when the Cub machine began to manufacture runs systematically, to press the at- tack and run over the Giants, Mc- Stay saw the finish coming. He had one chance to turn the tide and he gambled. He had two runners on ‘bases !n the third inning, one out and a chance to win and he ordered Burns to hit with three bafis and one strike called. Had Burns wnited the Glants might have made a strong fight for the game, but he swun; and popped out and thereafter there never was a real chance to even get close to Mitchell's flying crew. ts le W is se th | of of luring the remainder of the sad after. noon was the manner in which the Cuba attacked, Their assault was flerce, fast and beautifully directed at the weakest spots in the Glant lines, They hit hupp terrifically, and kidded him while they were doing it which is no way to treat an ex-star.
