In that period he showed that he is probably the deadilest sharpshooting hitter pugilism ever knew. A minute and thirteen seconds of the third round saw Miske lying a crumpled heap, his head resting on his right arm, his left gloved fist pearance dead to this well known world, He had gone to the floor before , this from a left hook to the jaw, fol- lowed by the right of the sharp- shooter ivempsey to the other side of his chin, and had gamely arisen when he heard Referee Jimmy Dougherty shout “nine.” A less game man would have stayed down, and without any apolo- gies to his ringside friends, for the “ten and out.” Miske didn’t, and Dempsey, moving from behind the referee, where he had stood during the count, waited till Billy had turned toward him, then shot over the finisher, a long overhand right. When the count was over Miske showed no signs of ability to get up. His seconds dragged him to a chair Before this Miske had taken a count f five in the second from as paralyzing a right drive to the body ‘as the writer has ever geen. It was the recovery from this punch with all the power of Dempsey behind it that proved that Miske had the stam- ina of a Willard and unquestionable gameness. No “sick man,” as Miske ‘was presumed to be, would have got | to his feet. A similar punch landed by Bob Fitzsimmons on Jim Corbett ‘at Carson years ago robbed him of) all physical strength below the waist, and you all know what happened to Fred Fulton when Harry Wills Jand-| gasped as he wept down on his hands and knees. He might have taken . ® count of nine, but instead he was on his feet at five, trying as best he could to fight off the powerful foe before him. ‘The bell rang and Miske staggered to his corner. Like a painted mark, towel wavers. » AS Miske stepped to the centre of the ring he immediately took the aggressive. He drove an uppercut to Dempsey's chin, but Jack appeared to take no notice of it Billy then pinged in with a left to the jaw, to pounda, a pound lighter than Jack and at least twenty more than he did when he was fighting presumably at his best more active in the ring. the treatment he received for a di: had diagnosed his case kidney ailment, The crowd which attended yester- day's fight was the biggest ever seen in this part of the country, not the dressed up, sporty crowd one sees in New York. farmers from the fruit belt, who walked to fight headquarters with hoe boxes filled with lunch under their arms and socked up $30 for the best seats. Miske entered the arena here at 5.18 Smiling from ear to ear, he walked around, bowing and nod- ding to many side friends. Then ho posed while eleven cameras clicked and clicked at him. He smiled through it all. Then he went over to a corner and sat on a stool to await Dempsey. In just ten minutes Dempsey came in. There didn't seem to be a smile in his system. He had a three days’ growth of beard on his face and he seemed frightfully serious. He never even jooked around to see Miske. ‘Soon the camera men had him stuck in one corner of the ring. He stood there shuffling his feet in the resin. ‘To him all the snapshot business spelt delay, He was anxious to get down to the real business of the day. Final- ly the photographers succeeded in get- ting him to stand still long enough to have his picture taken. They took several snaps at a lithe young hu- Instead, a plain maroon seater cov- ered him from shoulders to waist, and underneath he wore loose Mght pants of the runner about to be called out for the 100-yard dash. Scores in the press stand and immediately behind shouted, “Oh you, Jack!” “Hello there, y!" and all that, but if Demp- sey heard them he paid absolutely no attention to their salutation. Up to this time Dempsey hadn't given Miske a thought apparently, and finally the photomen thought of a good idea to get the pair of them, their respective manager: omoter Floya Fitzsimmons and feree Jimmy Dougherty, together for a grand finale of the picture taking. Dempsey went through these formal- ities as if they were annoyances to him, THE fe il BY ROUNDS. ROUND ONE—Miske's weight was announced at 187 pounds, while Demp- sey’s was announced at 188.

Gopretght, 1990, by The Press Publishing Oo, (The Now ¥ e% Froning Wortd.) THE WORLD SERIES DOPE. . Ellery Gumpf, the eminent statistician, presents a neat round-up of dope on the ball season to-day. Mr. Gumpf has seen six games on & pass this season and subscribes to a couple of St. Louis sporting Papers. His dope is therefore worth while, although that’s all it is worth. By aclose study of the calendar for thisand former years, Mr. Gumpf Predicts the World's Series will be played in October. This will give the teams same October weather to play in and changes the complexion of the outcome materially. If the World's Series were played in the Spring, that would give them spring weather, which differs from Octo- ber weather by at least six months. “He who laughs last laughs last” shows why the Phils can’t win the pennant. The Phils are now laughing last, as the standing shows. Chicago looks good in the other league, The Chi team is familiarly known as the White Sox to those on the inner circle of baseball. They've been up front for a few weeks and all they've got to do to win the pennant is to stay up front. If they don’t stay there the team that puts them out will win the flag. Mr. Gumpf stakes his reputation on that. He admits it's a small stdke. Mr. Gumpf is inclined to risk his reputation again that the White Sox will win the series, but he'll risk New York, 4; Philadetphia, 1, Clevoland, 7; St, Louls, 2. Chicago, 6; Detroit, 2.

Dempsey manoeuvred around, jos- fling as it were until he got Billy at the proper angle and the finish came about as told above, fs \ “Did Miske ever hurt you with any of his punches?’ we asked Dempsey shortly afterward in his dressing room. “Hurt me?" asked the champion in mulprise. “Why, he never hit me.” We reminded him that he did sev- 4 @ral times, that he landed the first] punch, a left to the face, and many times afterward, particularly in the third round. “Well, if he did,” answered Demp- “I never felt them; but that's a lot of fellows like that get Billy Miske, the St. Paul challenger, to defeat in the third round of thelr eched- uled ten round bout here yesterday, according to a statement of the receipts given out to-day by Moya Fitzsimmons, Promoter of the contest ‘The total attendance of the Labor Day, battle was 11,348 and the total receipts were $134,904, including State tore Were victims of pickpocket Secretary McCauley of the Stat + Commission lost. $6 the result of pickpockets.
