For an Indefinite time, men and women, too, w ill be asking how It happened. The answer Is thia: The Jack Dampsey who tried In vain to de­ fend the title of which he was so prend was not the Jack Dempsey of a few years ago.

But the three years during which he was away from the ring had taken an Incalcul- able toll. Years between had taken too much from the fighting stamina of the man whom many believed was the greatest heavyweight champion ot them all. One should talk of the new champion rather than of the old, but somehow. Gene Tunney was not so impressive In victory. Tunney was a better man than Dempsey and he outpointed the former title-holder with eaee.
