WITH JAW IN THE THIRD ROUND
&&'.
Ronton Harbor,
fJDILLY MISKE liccnmc convinced he was not nn asplr-r-P'nnt
for the heavywelfiht championship of the world
t.ocre yesterday when In thu third round he stopped a
right wallop to the chin and was counted out. Jack
,Denipsey put over the finishing punch one minute and
'thirteen seconds after the round had started.
J Itefcree James F. Dougherty, of Lelpervlllc, tolled
the ten-second count, and then helped the beaten man to
his corner. i
Tho finish came after Dcmpscy had shown his
'Superiority in every branch of the game. lie was shiftier,
'lutcr, possessed more cleverness, and hit the harder blow.
In. the second round ho had dropped Mlsko with a right to
the solar plexus, and few believed the St. Paul man could
last much longer.
v' "However, Hilly pulled a surprise when, in the third
lie started out like a flash and Jabbed Dempsey all .rer
, the ring. Jack stood there, taking everything and waited
or, on opening. lie did not mind the light taps on tho
face. But this gnve MiRko more confidence nnd he opened
'tip. Pulling back his right, he aimed a blow for Dcrap
"' iwy'ft Jaw, but it never landed. Jack sunk his right into
the body and Billy dropped. lie was on one knee, his
,,back to Dempsey, when Dougherty started to count. There
was silence in the big arena and a sigh of relief when the
', challenger nrosc to his feet at nine.
1.
tEMPSEY was waiting for him. Just as soon 01
" his opponent teas up and his arms raised, ho teas
t;
on him like a tiger and hit Aim solidly on the chin.
"'Jlitlcn fell in a Aran near his oirn
j ", moved. He fell limply and teas lying on his left side,
t all out. He could have taken a count of one hundred
end never moved.
Miske Proves Himself Game Boxer
JYJETHEN the Tiattle was over and Ilefereo Dougherty
. V raised Demyscy's right hand as a signal to the doubt-
ful ones that Dempsey had won, there was wild cheering
among the spectators. Dempiey bad to fight his way to
his dressing room, while Miske stayed in his corner
y fifteen minutes to recuperate.
Taking it all in all. Mlske proved himself to be one
', of the gamest men in the ring. lie took more punish-
J ment than Jess Willard and not for one instant did he
quit. Even after he was hurt in the second round, he
didn't try to cover up as the majority of boxers would
bare done, but fought harder than ever. In the clinches
ke did not hold on, but broke clean and did not have to be
warned by the referee.
' Mlske took a beating like a game guy and deserves
j credit for it. He was in marvelous shape, or he never
would have ."risen in the second round. Incidentally,
this i i the first time Billy has been knocked off his feet,
and we'll say the knockdown was unanimous.
When the principals entered the ring, there were
about 17,000 cash customers in the arena and the gate
receipts nmounted to $175,000. The huge amphitheatre
was filled and the crowd was very orderly. This was
, because every one could see and tho scats, built in tho
' aand, were comfortable.
1 It was a peculiar fight crowd. Few of the loudly
dressed sports were there, the larger part of the audience
.being made up of farmers. Attracted by the clear day and
the sunshine, they turned out in large numbers. The
crowd did not look as if it was a wealthy one, but np-
"pearnnces sometimes are deceitful.
The farmers arrived in town wearing rusty blue,coats,
noncommittal trousers, comedy hats, no collars and car-
rxied lunchcB under their arms. With this make-up they
Invaded the ticket offices and purchased 530 Beats. They
,ven smiled when kind-hearted, philanthropic gentlemen
passed among mem and gave them cups of lukewarm
water for twenty-five cents per cup.
'THE farmers made the battle of financial success,
but the show teas worth it. The winter is likely to
be long and severe and note they will have something
to talk about at the comer grocery store.
t Bout Worth Price of Admission
MANY fans came from Chicago, welcoming the oppor
tunity to leave town. Chicago is n swell placo to
live in, provided they let you live. The stirkup guys are
busy and have to wear buttons to keep from robbing each
other. Every night several citizens are knocked off and
last week, just to keep in condition, the stlckups stole a
freight train. There was nothing like that here and It
was such n change that the pickpockets were tolerated
1 and brushed away like t.oquitoes.
Therefore, everybody was satisfied and th.- battle was
,, worth the price of admission. Nothiug could huve been
Jfalrer than that. The gang was all Rettled when tho time

corner and never
kept boring In just waiting for an opening. It didn't
come in the first round, but a llttlo thing like that
didn't worry our champion.
Another thing was noticeable. A bright sun was
shining in the western bky and Dempsey kept Miske
facing it. That mado his work much asier.
In the second round Jnck started right in to do
some, damage. A wicked right landed flush on tho jaw
and there were cries of surprise when Billy shook his
head and kept on fighting.
ttJUIISKE can take it," said the ringside critics.
Ill "Dempsey never will be able to knock him out.
What a strong jaw that guy has."
Body Punch Drops Miske
AX INSTANT later Dempsey's right shot nut and
landed in the solar plexus. It was a hard blow
and Mlske was knocked flat on his back. lie evidently
was surprised, for n climbed to his feet at the count of
five. A bright red spot began to show ou his body
and the St. Paul man was in distress.
He kopt bis head, began to jab again and mnnaged
to keep Dempsey away. Near the end of tho round
Jack swung for tho jaw and the blow just grazed Billy.
However, It was hnrd enough to stagger the challenger
and, had the blow been an Inch closer, the battle would
have been over then and there. Mlske was careful after
that and was on the defensive until the end of the
round.
Then came the third, with the abrupt ending, one
minute and thirteen seconds nftcr it started. Miske
was game until the end. Ho never faltered and ns was
said before, fought better, took more punishment and
showed more grit than Jess Willard in Toledo on July
4 last year.
Jimmy Dougherty refereed a great fight and was
warmly congratulated at the end. He mado the men
break clean, had them fighting all of the time and evea
the spectators appreciated his work.
Chairman Tom Bigger, of tho Michigan boxing board,
who ooposed Do-ghcrty at the start, said after the
buttle that 11 m.s ona of the best refereed affairs he ever
had seen.
Dempsey left or New York today and did not have
a mark nn his far-:.
"Did Miske hurt you when he hit you?" I asked
him.
"Why. he didn't hit me nt all," replied Dcmpscy.
"Yes he did. Ho landed a lot of jabs and a couple
of rights to the chin."
"Oh, -those things," laughed ttio champion, "why
I havo to let those fellows hit me so I can get close
enough to sock them. They don't hurt."

came to put on the windup. The two preliminaries were
the finest we ever have heard, and introduced a couple of
winners entitled Hill Tnte and Harry Greb. Tate walloped
the"dayllghts out of Sam Langford, winning six out of six
rounds. Bill was good, used a long stinging left to ad
vantage and kept old Ham nt a respectful distance! In
fact, old Sam hasn't hit him jet.
Oreb and Chuck Wiggins put on a jumping net which
was well received. Wiggins got a bloody noso and the
farmers started to yell murder. They thought ho vas
being killed. However, Chuck smiled becomingly and
took punishment just to show that he could stand it.
71IEN came tho final event. A gentleman wearing
overhauls swept off the ring, evidently removing
the tacks so that none would st'ck in Mlslc's back.
That was a great stunt and you should have heard the
farmers applaud.
Miske Lands the First Punch
' TyriSKK was first to enter the ring. It was exactly 5
" p. m. and he got n big hand. Thirty or forty pho
tographers greeted htm kindly and took many pictures.
Tl?w were to be used in a "before and after taking"
layout.
Fifteen minutes later Dempsey appeared. Being the
champion, ho was allowed to keep his opponent waiting.
He didn't care to give one the impression he wns anxious
to knock anybody's block off. Jatk wore an old red
sweater and white trunks. Billy looked to be better
dressed.
Then the bout started, after many useless intro
ductions. Miske was first to lead, landing n left to the
body. He stepped around, jabbed lightly to the face nnd
then fell into action. After they broko away, Dempsey
landed a loft to the body. This tipped off the cham
pion's attack and he kept peppering away nt that section.
Miske continued to jab, but Jack did not mind. He

Williamson Thought tlic World Was All Wrong Yesterday, but
It's Different Today Meets Marty Kane 15 Rounds
By LOUIS
LABOR DAY was not so laborious
for Maxie Williamson, even though
he had been scheduled to go on for twenty-four
minutes' work against Jack
Perry downtown yesterday afternoon.
Just before tho show of the Grays Ferry
A. C. was scheduled to start along
came the rain, called off tho open-air
show and Maxie placed himself in the
"Hard-Luck League"
"It's n tough world," thought Maxie,
as he wandered uptown to learn that
Billy Miske hod received a paltry 25
thou' for stopping a wallop on the chin
by J. Dempsey in the third.
But, when Williamson stepped out
from the hnr this morning he discov
ered that the world was not bo tough,
that ono bad break deserved n good
ono and that he was going to box to
night, at an eleventh-hour opponent
against Marty Kane.
It came about this way. Martin
Judge wns paired to meet Kane, but
the former hurt his other hnnd while
training nnd Matchmaker Peto Tyrcll
had to hustle around and get a sub.
Learning thnt Williamson was In
shape, and disappointed because he did
not box jestcrday, Petcy arranged for
Williamson's appearance tonight.
Williamson and Kane will go on in a
scheduled fifteen-round bout nt West
Manayunk tonight. And instead of
laboring on Labor Day, it will be n
case of the night after for Maxio.
In addition to the WIUIamian-Kane nfton

Most Successful Campaign
Vy GBANTLAND KICK
TTiDDIE COLLINS -played baseball
JE-J and football nt Columbia something
like fifteen years ago.
He bcean to work for Connio Mack
around 1008, became n regular in 1000
and n star In 1010.
Now, somo fifteen yenrs after his
collcglato endeavors nnd some twelve
years after his first big leaguo experi
ence, tho samo Eddie Collins is upon
the vcrgo of his best year.
Tho highest mark be ever reached at
bat, as we recall tho figures, was .300,
and that was eight or nine years ago,
lie has a chance to beat this mark
for 1020, for he has been between .855
nud .805 the greater part of tho last
fortnight.
For all-around value speed, batting,
fielding ability, brains and hustling
Collins ls undoubtedly tho greatest
second baseman that ever played. This
is taking nothing away from Napoleon
Lajole and Johnny Evcrs, two of his
greatest rivals. Evcrs could never bat
with Collins and Lnjoio lacked his
speed.
Collins wns a world -series star ten
j ears ago, and he looks better today
than he looked then, nnd every bit bb
last. Time has dealt lightly witu mm
in tho arena of competition. He will
be a great ball player for more than a
few years yet.
The Worth of Serenity
THE entry In sport who is highly
keyed up may bo as brilliant for a
year or two or three ob the calmer,
more serene product. Perhaps more
brilliant through tho help of Inhuming
fires.
But he can hardly hope to last as
long. Johnny Evcrs in this respect was
a marvel. Always nervous and high
strung, he yet managed to last for
many years.
But the Trojan was a rare excep
tion. One reason why Vardon and
Ray are still star golfers at fifty and
forty-thrco ls their philosophical ac
ceptance of tho various breaks of the
game. They are not burning their souls
out by fretting at every mistake or
every unlucky turn.
Tho average British athlete ls more
or less stoical, which ls one reason why
Qrcat Britain has so many middle-aged
stars in sport such as Parke, John
Ball, Vardon, Ray and a number of
her veteran runners. Fitzslmmons,
Cornwall born, was still a great fighter
at forty.
Mnthcwson, Lajole, "Wagner and
Johnson all belonged to the serene typo
who played ball, in the main, nnd let
the umpires nnd the breaks of the game
take care of themselves. And the four
averaged over sixteen years in the big
leagues, with Johnson still in uniform.

THE retiring, almost coy way In
