Jack still carried a mean wallop, but has slowed down a lot in the intervening years since his last championship fight when he tried to regain the title from Gene Tunney.
Although the fight was called druw, newspaper men at the ring- side decided to hold a poll of their own, with the result that 18 voted to give the verdict to Levinsky, two voted for Dempsey and four called it a drow

a result of the showing that Demp- Bey can't make the prudle, although Levinsky's excellent record in re- cent months indicates that he can be rated well up in the list of heavies.
Jack seemed very tired after the four rounds were

When Dempsey decided to quit afler Gene Tunney defeated him the second time he was 32 years old, at just about the end of the normal fighter's good days. In the inter- vening four years he had softened up and slowed up, and with 37 fast approaching, it looks as if Jack's comeback hopes will prove an idle dream.United Pres.
