THE ALLIES AND THE RUBR.
A Difficult Situation..
Dempsey Retains Title,
BEATS GIBBONS ON POINTS.
Contest Goes Full Fifteen Rounds.
(Reuter's Service.)
Shelby (Montana), July 4, In the fifteen-round fight for the World's Heavyweight Cham- pionship which took place here to-day, Jack Dempsey won on points against Tom Gibbons.
Gibbons' Game Fight.
The weather was very hot and there was an attendence of 6,000. Contrary to general expectation, Gibbons put up a good fight against the title holer. He outboxed Dempsey in several rounds and fought with the utmost gameness throughout.
Gibbone weight was 12st. 732 lbs. and Dempsey's 13st. 6 lbs. A Cut Over Dempsey's Eye.
Dempsey relied chiefly on body blows and left and right hooks. to the jaw and head. He had the botter of the early rounds, although in the second, Gibbons, with a left hook, opened a cut over his eye. Gibbons was elusive and smart in dodging and ducking.
At times, the champion attacked viciously, bus Gibbons covered up and clinched to avoid punishment.
Not the Old Dempsey.
Dempsey's punishing body blows weakened Gibbons, hut Demp- sey appears to have lost some of his old-tima steam, probably through his long lay-off.
The fight was the biggest financial failure in the history of the ring.
