DEMPSEY FAR FROM IN FORM By George Kirksey, UP Stan Correupondeiit ■Milwaukee. Feb. 9. (U.R) The Dempsey of 19:12 in a long way from the Hemp ley who conquered] Willard, Mink". Bhuii n. Cmp.i, tier and Firpo. But Dempsey is fur from finished am a fighter. He has a chance, and ~ good one. to whip himself back into a.; good or better shaft.' th tu i he was for either of his hat th s with (lent- Tanney ill 19211 and 1927. Whether th <t will be go al enough tu win buck te» taint the h'"tvy-l weight title is a question that can he settled only by actual com.mt The surest thing about the new Dempsey is his punch. His legs may go back on him. his stamina may dt serf, him. ami he may he rotne weary of hotly hut Dempsey’s punch prwti.ibli will remain as long a ; he lives. Dempsey proved that It ■ punches just as viciously as ever in the opening of his second exhibition tour here last night before 7.5771 persons who paid $1 1.97 u to get al glimpse of him in two bouts of two rounds duration. Wearing 10-ounce gloves Dempsey had his two opponents on the floor five times. He dropped Buck Everett. IX7, Gary. Ind., lour times in the second round, as lie floored Jack Roper. 19:1. I.os Angeles, once, in the last round. The first punch that dropped Everett was a lighting fast left ■.took, a perfect punch that travelled less than G inches, ft almost ripped off Everett s head. It' Dernp-: spy had been wearing G-ottnce gloves Everett probably would have been counted out. As it was only his courage enabled him to get to I his feet at nine. Throe more time ; 1 he went to the floor, twice from left hooks and the list time from a short, right chop that exploded dynamite on Everett s chin. In all Everett took three counts of nine. The blow which dropped Roper v. as a right to the solar plexus, sending the Californian to the can van holding his mid-section and gasping for breath. Roper arose at the count of four. The flaws visible in Dempsey's work last night were bis total ab- j sence of defense, his laborious breathing and his tendency to cut and bleed easily over the eyes and . the lips. Dempsey never did have any defense. His offense was his defense. Now he does not charga to the attack as recklessly and relentlessly ] is he did in his prime. Everett and Roper both landed punches at ] , will to Dempsey s head and body , Dempsey took them, and kept walking in for more. Roper hit him a left hook in the last round which ( rocked Dempseys head backward. , but it apparently didn't hurt him. Dempsey was puffing hard from I almost the first minute until the end of the 12 minutes, but in justice to him it must be said that he has been bothered by a cold tor

Evidence Dempsey is in : iving with every exhibition comes from) many sources, but none is better 1 qualified tn offer testimony on that l ' score than Roller, who had boxc d 'Dempsey two round in Kansas city! |und one round in St. Paul previous ] to last •night’s bout. Dempsey is Um per cent better th.Ji when 1 met him in Kansas | (Hty,” Hopei said. "He is stronger] ; and punches faster and sharper.

The average American boy. of! course, is full of fun and likes to i play better than he Bke.s to study —but an athlete who gets the) opinion that hi-; school cannot i survive without his services, is) worthless.
