'Jack Dempsey to Meet Gene Tunney for 'Heavy' Title in Chicago Sept 15

Former Champion Lays Sharkey Flat in Seventh Round With Solid Left—Bo,ooo Witness Dramatic Finish.

BY HENRY L. FARRELL , United Frees Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 22. Jack Dempsey knocked out the cocky Jack Sharkey, of Boston, in the seventh round of their fight here Thursday night and earned his right to meet Gene Tunney in an attempt to regain the title he lost at Philadelphia. The Tunney-Dempsey fight will take place at Soldiers Field, Chicago, Sept. 15, it can be diflnitely said today. It was a right under the heart In the seventh round that ended the fight. Dempsey had forced the fighting all the way. As the seventh was fairly started, Jack shot his right to Sharkey’s body. Sharkey dropped his guards, writhed in pain and sagged, trying to protest the blow was foul. Dempsey closed in with a solid left to the chin and the fight was over. Forced Entire Fight There was not a second in the entire fight when Dempsey was not plugging in and forcing Sharkey. Sharkey, when he came into the ring, attempted to stare Dempsey down, but Dempsey refused to look at him. Jack acted the part of the courageous champion he was several years ago. Dempsey was given a tremendous reception. While a lot of lesser celebrities were being introduced he sat quietly and regally in his corner. On the other side of the ring Sharkey still was trying to penetrate Dempsey’s defense with his stare, but Dempsey refused to be annoyed. Up to the seventh round on the j score sheet Dempsey had won every round, although he had often tired, and in the first for a moment looked bad. Sharkey had never taken a step forward, and Dempsey had done all the fighting.

Always Is Fighting It reminded the writer of what Dempsey told him in Saratoga a few days ago: "In Philadelphia,” he said, "I figured that if I didn't lead punches into Tuney, I would be thrown out of the ring. And in that fight, I learned later, I made the mistake of walking into punches. Never in my life have I failed to put up a fight, either for myself or the spectators, and when I go into the fight against Sharkey, I’m going to fight.” Dempsey did that last night. He fought exactly as he did against Willard, Brennan, Carpenter, Gibbons, Firpo and Tunney. He doesn’t know any other way to fight. Dempsey had gone out against Sharkey in every round of the fight. He was scowling, had his head down and kept tearing in. During the first six rounds, when Dempsey was pouring vicious left hooks to the ||ody, Sharkey kept looking at the Referee, Jack O’Sullivan, who waved mm back and said: "Come on and fight.” Sharkey didn’t land one good, hard punch during the fight. Once or twice he sent over the right hook that had knocked out Jim Maloney in Sharkey’s greatest fight. Dempsey took it on his jaw, and came back in, tearing lefts and rights to the body that had Sharkey almost crying. Dempsey almost won the fight in the third round. He clipped Sharkey with a left hook to the chin and a right to the body, and Sharkey

sank almost to the floor. The referee waved Dempsey back and Sharkey got to his feet just as the bell sounded. The fight ended dramatically in the seventh round, when Dempsey caught Sharkey with a right under the heart and a terrific left to the jaw. Sharkey dropped to his knees. He had his hands on the floor, then rolled over on his side, lifting his hands to his stomach, and kept rolling. Dempsey walked to a neutral corner, where he watched the referee count out Sharkey. Bostonian Kept Running The battle was a typical Dempsey fight. Unpopular as he was supposed to have been in his previous fight, he was the hero from the time the bell sounded until the end. Dempsey, in his corner, looked down to the writer and said: "Well, I’m still here. I got that little bit of a cut under the eye, but what is that?” After the fourth round several referees and experts in Dempsey’s corner gave their opinions Dempsey couldn’t continue very much longer. They called the attention of newspaper men to his weakening legs and his weakening arms and cautioned that Sharkey was fighting a real smart fight by running away from Dempsey. Sharkey did a beautiful running fight, but Dempsey had so much speed in his legs and so much punch in his arms that he caught up with Sharkey and knocked him down. Sharkey probably now can get a fight with Paolino.

He is a tough, rugged young fellow who can hit, and hit hard, but he never had me badly hurt or seriously shaken. Always my head was clear and always I had plenty left. You see, I never permitted Sharkey to get so that he could get the best leverage for his blows. He is very quick and it is hard for me

.to land fairly, but when finally I did get a shot at his chin you know the answfer.” SHARKEY—"It’s all in the game, and I’ll be back at the top before Dempsey is. Say, that guy couldn’t break an egg. His punch is gone, if he ever had a punch. I had him licked, and he knew it, and that’s why he fouled me. Dempsey was drunk and groggy a dozen times, while~he never was able to feaze me. "Dempsey knew I had his number from the start and he was hitting low all right. He deliberately hit me in the groin four times Just before he clipped me. I was falling *from the pain when the last blow brushed my chin. I was not knocked out. I simply doubled up from the pain and could not rise. "I hope to have the pleasure of meeting that bird in the ring again, but I guess Gene Tunney will beat ‘me to it.”
