MISKE FAILS TO
LAST 3 ROUNDS
Dempsey Proves He Still
Has Championship
Wallop
RINGSIDE. BENTON HARBOR,
Mich., Sept. 7.—Jack Dempsey, heavy
weight champion of the world demon
strated here yesterday afternoon
that he still retains the terrific punch
that won him the title. He knock
ed put Billy Miske, of St. Paul, a
fighter as hig and game as himself,
in the third round of their ten-round
match. Three hard smashes were
sufficient to win him $55,000, his 50
per cent share of the gate receipts,
it was announced today. Miske
fought on a straight $25,000 guaran
tee.
The reported fracture of one of
Miske's ribs was denied by physicians
today.
At the start of the fight, his first
in fourteen months, Dempsey peeled
off the same worn and patched red
sweater that he wore when he
knocked out Jess Willard. His face
wore the same fighting frown, he
danced about the ring with old-time
light footedness and finished up by
taking the fight in the third round,
just as he did at Toledo. The third
round went one minute and thirteen
seconds.
Miske went down three times in
less than two and one-half rounds
of fighting. In the second he meas
ured his length on the floor for the
count of five. In the fatal third,
driven to his corner under a rain of
lefts and rights to the stomach and
chin, the challenger took the count
of nine, when Dempsey, carefully
measuring his distance, finished the
bout with a righthand punch to the
chin.
The fight was watched by one of
th; most orderly crowds on record
at a championship match. Women in
bright clothing were scattered in the
audience from the ringside to the
back fence, where they perched

alongside the wicked barbed wires

in attracting attention.
Miske’s First Blow.
Miske was pale, his forehead wrink
led and his lips pressed tight as he
sprang to meet Dempsey with the
opening gong. He landed the first
blow. Both challenger and champ
ion measured each other with a cau
tious tatto on lefts and rights, none
of them seeming to punish much.
The crowd yelled at Dempsey to
speed it up, and Miske grinned.
Dempsey crossed a left to the jaw and
followed with a right to the stomach
that fairly boomed with its solid im
pact. Miske backed away and cov
ered up, without showing signs of
distress. Dempsey finished the ses
sion by feinting with a left to Miske’s
wind and following with a right to the
head.
The second round opened fast,
with the champion trying hard to
rock Miske’s head with his left Demp
sey found his opponent’s jaw with a
terrific left that snapped Miske’s
head back and left him dizzy and
before he had recovered the champ
ion stepped in and bored upward with
a right blow that landed just below
the heart and sent Miske sprawling
on his side, half sitting.
Despite shouts from his handlers
to take all the rest he could, Miske
struggled up’at the count of five and
backed away covering his stomach.
Dempsey rushed and Miske slipped
in for a clinch, but the champion
kept one arm free and evaded tnree
short arm blows on the chin. Step
ping free, he swung with his left in
a feint, and Miske recoiled before
the blow which never landed.
Miske came up strong in the third,
and fighting desperately with his
teeth gritted he bored in with a rapid
exchange, landing a right to the body
but his speed proved his eventful un
doing, for he failed to cover his
weakest spot, the body. Dempsey
matched speed for speed and the
round was still young when his swift
traveling left found Miske’s stom
ach again and the challenger went
down. At the count of three he
was on his knees, but plainly suf
fering from the punishment, and he
took the full count of nine before
coming up.
Struggles to Feet.
As Miske struggled to his feet,
Dempsey stepped back, carefully
measured his distance and bored up
ward with a right hand swing that
landed square on Miske’s chin. The
challenger fell like a log, lying part
ly under the ropes, and with Demp
sey standing over him, was counted
out in his own corner.
At the count of ten the victor
lifted the vanquished into the chair
his seconds shoved into the ring.
Miske, sitting in the corner being
revived after the knockout, made this
statement:
“Dempsey is a better man than 1
am. That fellow hits too hard. The
punch that floored me in the second
round all but caved in my ribs. I
never was hit so hard in my life, lhe
