FIrpo. Goqe was; the devastating
punch, the furious aggressiveness
that marked him as 'one of the
most feared men in the ring.
Instead, he seemed5 in a daze
from the start, nnable at any time
to sustain his attack for more
than a few seconds Occasionally,
he connected with long left or
right hooks to the head and body.
but these no more thin jarred the
challenger temporarily. Always
Tunney came back, punching with
rights and lefts, from the should
er, rocking Dempsey's.liead with
short but powerful punches.
It was Tunney's ; terrific right
band blows to the head,' chin and
ribs that decided the battle. This
blow delivered like a" ramrod,
broke up Dempsey's rushes,
opened cuts about his face and
finally, in the last round, closed
his left eye completely.
Dempsey was a sorry sight in
the final round as Tunney, realiz
ing victory and the .goal of his
fighting career was in his grasp.
threw caution to the winds and
lashed the champion about the
ring.
Gam'eiy, Dempsey, weaving and
bobbing, bored in, but he only
succeeded in taking a steady
stream of punishment. One eye
closed, blood dripped from a gash
under the title holder's right eye.
his mouth was cut 'and he was
reellng-hls. Jinees - wobbly under
the furious "shower of Tunney's
attack.
Desperately as .Tunney tried,
however, he. could not bring
Dempsey down. :. The champion, as
be had done throughout the fight,
absorbed his beating without giv
ing much ground.' -In a final wild
salley, he called Ills own guns Into
play, the weapons, that had
knocked put most of the men he
ever faced, but this time they
weren't loaded.' "
The' crowd gave Tunney a tum
ultous ovation before tho judge V,

decision was announced. There
was no doubt as to what it would
be, ' Dozens of the more enthusias
tic climbed into the ring, a squad
of police had : to deaf it so that
the announcer could make known
the formal decision.
Tunney won eight of the 10
rounds by so decisive a margin
that no doubt was left of his su
premacy, -the Associated Press
score sheets showed. None of the
rounds were scored for the cham
pion and only in the sixth and
seventh was he conceded better
than an even break. In both of
these, It was more a case of Tun
ney's cautiousness than Dempsey's
own attacking success that affect
ed the scoring.
But for his hesitancy to open
up and put all his guns into ac
tion. Tunney might have won by
a knockout or scored an even
more decisive victory. The chal
lenger was cautious at first be
cause he feared Dempsey was
holding back, purposely shifting
his customary rushing tactics to
upset the Marine's plan of battle,
but Tunney fonnd a ready mark
for his blowsand as he discovered
himself outpunching Dempsey
consistently at close and long
range, he became more aggres
sive and more confident.
His confidence grew as the bat
tle progressed through the
drenching downpour, but Tunney
always was a bit wary. Now and
then, in such rounds as the fourth,
sixth and seventh, Dempsey con
nected with solid smashes to the
head, driving In with a flash of
his old ferocity. " But the spark
soon faded from these outbursts.
The champion's downfall and
the disappointment in his showing
was reminiscent of the defeat of
James J. Jeffries by Jack Johnson
in the first heavyweight battle Tex
Rickard ever promoted, in 1910.
Dempsey, like Jeffries, went into
the ring a big favorite, only to ex
hibit little championship fighting
qualities. Chiefly because of
Ierapsey's lethargy and Tunney's
Intermittent cautiousness, the
bout had few thrills, few spectacu

lar moments of the sort that have
punctuated most of Dempsey's
battles since he dethroned Wil
lard on July 4, 1919.
There were no knockdowns nor
the semblance of any except for
one or 'two occasions when the
fighters each slipped on the soaked
and slippery surface of tne ring.
Tunney was in conimaud from
the start. Before the bell had
ended the first round, with the
crowd amazed at Dempsey s slow
nevjs, the cbillenger had begun to
seize his opportunities. As the
chAmpion swung wildly, the for-
aer marine worked in his left
jabs ai;d crossed with solid rights
that shook Dempsey up.
From then on. with monotonous
regularity. Tunney beat off Demp-
r.?y's rushes with jolting blows
to the head and body. The chal
lenger gave ground more often
than Dempsey, but it was for
scientific purposes not because
he was receiving much punish
ment. Tunney's right eye was cu
in one round, the seventh, anq
hlood flowed from the re-opening
of outs on his lips, but these did
hot bother him to any extent. He
took Dempsey's stiff est punches
without flinching, and ducked or
blocked most of the others..
Tex Rickard's weather luck
finally failed for the first lim
tince he began promoting boxing's
biggest spectacles, but the soaked
tens of thousands, including many
women, refused to leave their
seats. Many had come prepared.
but the bis: majority took their
drenching smilingly and stuck to
the finish to cheer the advent of
a new reign in pugilism.
The rain started lightly at first.
shortly after Dempsey and Tun
ney entered the ring. During an
unusually long delay, caused by
the taping of their hands, if in
creased in intensity. By the lime
the final bell soinded. the two
riadiators wero spattered by solid
t-heels of water. Tunney's gloves,
soaked and crimson with Demp
eey's Diood. litterally splashed
their way to victoiy.

ination during his victorious fight,
returned as he" left the ring, and
"almost mobbed by a wildly en
thusiastic group of friends and
handlers. , . . , ,
pxa natn rally gratified," was
Vhq first .comment of the, studious
ex-marine. "I knew soon after
the start, that I was the cham
pion's master. I; fought a' care
fuiljr planned battis. and it suc
ceeded .to th3 fondest of my ex
pectations. Dempsey was game.
He . gave me troubje, but I, was
nerer doubtful of the outcome."
Dempsey deKilared:
"It's the old tory. The best
man won. I have no alibis. Give
all the credit to Gene. He's a
great champion.'
The champion, badly battered
as he was, rushed from his corner
after tne announcement of th de
cision and embraced Tunney in the
middle of the. ring.
