Jack had his rush with him when he came out and landed a right which unbalanced the challenger. It hurt Gene and he sought the comfort of distance fighting, poking with his left to keep Jack away. Thenceforth, it was GPne's fight without a moment of doubt. The challenger apparently had learned all he wanted to know of the champion's power and ability to hurt him during those first four rounds. In the fifth, the mauler was being mauled. Gene began roughing it with Dempsey. I Jack was slower in the sixth. sev-| enth and eighth although still able] from time to time to liurt Tunney, with heavy blows to the body. Jack! backed away after some of Gene's hardest blows. A venert- of new vitality covered i the 'champion in the beginning of the ninth. He came out, spry and apparently eager but Gene loosed his slugger until Jack was groggy and Gene’s accurate fists were thudding at the bell. The tenth round seemed to be the wettest with rain falling heavily. Ini the tenth round Gene’s fists sent the champion back with the Challenger following close pounding unceasingly. |As the bell tim e approached.

Many are unable 'to march in the annual review—the I peak of every O. A. R. encampment. Each year of late has seen the ranks of the veterans thinning Each year has seen the march in front of the commander a little less animated. Tli s year there was outspoken talk of disbanding the G. A. R. There was opposition however, from the young-1 er of the veterans, one of whom said “We have at least eight years left for meetings.” * But time nevertheless is making itself felt in the once great organization of ex-service men. Next year the veterans go to Toledo, Ohio, for their encampment. • Frank A. Walsh. Milwaukee, was I elected national commander. o > Mrs. Dempsey Learns News Os Fight At Fort Wayne Fort Wayne. Ind .
