Ninety thousand people were inside with their eyes fixed on a square white patch of canvas surrounded by ropes, known is the ring. The announcer with a tremendous voice clambered over the ropes and exclaimed: “Now. 'adies and gentlemen—the champion >f the world. Mr. Jack Dempsey.” The other man was Luis Angel Flrpo from the Argentine, in sporting circles known as "the wild bull of the Pampas.” Flrpo was much the larger man. There were many minds with he same thought—namely, what would happen if he succeeded In landing one of those "haymakers.” Then ‘he most startling thing happened. He did.
