He outpunched Sharkey and he outboxed him; he even outgeneral- led him.

Sharkey put up a courageous fight, but I cannot say it was a very clever one. He thought what he had heard about Dempsey being an old man was all true. So he went out to "slog" it and to rough it, and he was battered down and finally knocked ont.

The come-back of Dempsey was

ja thriller for the crowd, and it was a spectacle that will live long in the memory.

He seemed beaten as he went to his corner after the first round. He seemed beaten when he went back after the second.

But the old bulldog gritted his teeth and fought against the handicap of the first two rounds, gradually slowed down Sharkey, and took the lead on points as they went into the seventh.

Then he brought his old left hook into action, and added an- other brilliant knock-out victory to his already remarkable string.

Sharkey gave the best he had, but it wasn't good enough against Dempsey.,
