Jimmy d Forest, who trained and acted as principal adviser for Jack Dempsey in his bout with Fred Fulton. Is of the opinion that the new star of the heavyweight cluss ranks with many of the masters cf the olden days. Commenting on Dempsey's prowess Do Forest said: "I have been intimately connected with the boxing game for some thirty odd consecutive ears, during which time I have witnessed all the champions and near champions come and go. Some have been fla-l.es In the pan, others the real goods, but this fellow Dempsey has come to Hay. He is easily the best heavyweight now appearing before the boxing public. Irit that statement does little or no justice to hitn. The point that I wat-t to make Is that ! mpsey ranks, in my opinion, with the stars of the past who competed in the heavyweight division. "Dempsey po.-sesses many of the traits of the old timers, which seldom appear in the make up of our modern boxers. To him a bout is fun, for he loves to tight. This fact is best illustrated bv the way lie prepares in training for en engagement. He lights then Just as if he were in the ring battling for the championship. His sparring partners have to be on the alert at all times, and are p r'oiiied to sail 'nto him to Th lest of xh.'.r ahilitv. "The ans have yet t . see Dempsey at best. His engagement with Fulon gave no real line in hi n. Just wait until cme man sti:igi him then you will so the gr.atc-t fi-h'ing machine .f n e.urn times in rciiin. "Ves. Dempsey has ome to stay. He is the greatest piece of fighting machinery I have seen for many years."
