NEW YORK. Sept. i1.~ Wlicn tho gong rang for tiic frist round of the Willard-Dempsey heavyweight championship fight iu Tndclo on July 4, 1919, Dempsey walked slowly from his coruci‘ aiul circled around the bugn Willard. lie fainted him fivc times with his left inmd, iiutil Willard stuck out his long lcft urm. Dempsey crushed over u right hand punch under the heart, hooked a left to the jaw, and Willard went down.

Willard was tricked into a trap that he had never expected He thought Dempsey would , rush from his corner and chargo into him like a ' wildcat. and when he didn't Willard was coin- pletcly bewildered. '

Dempsey ought to boat Firpo to every punch, but lie cannot avoid bi-ing hit, and if the South American lands several ofliis wild swings to the body, Dempsey will ialosé a~ lot 0f tho steam in his Iiloivs.

Firpo is a very slow starter. it took him eight rounds to got go- ing against. lllll llrenuzinundliolnnkod bad for five rounds of tho fight with Jess Willard. iu marked contrast, Dempsey is a dyna- mic starter, and ho is abll- to maintain n terrific speed.
