Kilbane Picks Dempsey
to Win in Seventh Frame
By JOHNNY KILBANE
SHELBY, Mont., July 3.—What
chance has Tommy Gibbons to take
title away from Jack Dempsey?
That’s the question that has been
fired at me continually since my
arrival in Montana.
Arid it’s the question that no
doubt is Uppermost in< the minds of
those who have followed my stories
on the condition of the two fight
ers.
The only answer I can give is
that Tom’s chance is a very slight
one. Seven rounds should tell the
story.
I will be very much surprised if
Qibbons answers the bell for the
eighth round. I figure his speed and
marvelous boxing ability will en
able him to starve off the inevit
able for about that number of
rounds.
But the tremendous impact of
the blows which Tom will be ‘un
able to avoid, will result in his
slowing up, and make him a mark
for the knockout that 1 feel confi
dent will end the fight.
Many of the Dempsey Partisans
here are arguing the fight will not
last over one or two rounds. That
seems like the bunk to me.
It will take Dempsey at least
three or four rounds to solve Gib
bons’ shifty style of fighting. And
then he will have to land the blows
that will slow up Tom enough to
put over the old haymaker.
Os course it it? possible, but not
probable, that Gibbons will be the
winner. There are to many things
in Dempsey’s favor.
Jack has a shade the best of it
in age. He has the confidence of
the knowledge that he is champion.
His punch is terrible, and his awk
ward way is difficult for even the
most perfect boxer to avoid.
He is a natural fighter, almost |
a model of physical development
with broad shoulders, with deep I
chest, making for great lung pow
er, slim waist with flat hips and the
long, slim legs of a racehorse. He
fights on his’ toes, giving him re
markable shiftiness.
The one thing against him is the
fact that he ha.\ been inactive for
two years. • a>
What has Gibbons to offset
these advantages?
Well, Tommy has brains, his
biggest asset. But the greatest brain
in the world cannot overcome' the
numbing effect that follows the
crash of a powerful blow on some
nerve center. And Tommy will
have to take more than one of
these crashing blows if he expects
to land on Dempsey.
Tommy has confidence, ttib; Rtit
it is the confidence born of a be
lief in his own powers, not that of
experience. His boxing ability is
above question, but it is that of a

the fighter.
He has speed, but is flat-footed.
'That does not tend to give him
sureness of Dempsey. His past two
years of busy fighting will be an
aid, but if Dempsey has not lost
his judgment of distance and tim

this will not be much help to him.
Dempsey should win. And seven

Dempsey’s Wind Good
Despite B’way Revels
By WILSON ROSS.
SHELBY, Mont., Jury 3.—One i
of the marvels of this titular bat- i
tie between Jack Dempsey and >
Tommy Gibbons is. the perfect con
dition of the champion’s 1 wind.
We’ve known all along that Tom
my Gibbons has wonderful endur
ance and that he can go the route,
but we hear plenty of experts and
ring followers saying that, if this
battle goes more than six rounds
or seven, Gibbon’s chances will
grow as the fight goes along.
You hear all sorts of forecasts
based on the “if Gibbons can
weather those first few’ rounds and
stand the Dempsey punching in the
early .stanzas.” In fact that’s one
of the most frequent rvmajrks
right h< re in Montana where the
dopesters have the chance to look
them over..
But to my mind they’re all
wrong in playing this hunch. I'd
' .ay after looking Dempspy ovi|r
| that the champion’s wind and coii
j dition are better than they have
,ever been.
r Say, I saw him go through nine
whirlwind rounds with his three
heaviest sparring partners, ’« ■ 215
pound negro, George Godfrey, and
the light-heavies, Jack Burke and
Harry Drake, and he never even
breathed hard at any stage of the
(proceedings.
And the last three rounds Demp
sey spent mainly in ducking, side
stepping and blocking a barrage of
1 jabs and swings that the English
v man Drake was ordered to hurl at
J him.
The next day he went right back
1 and travelen ten rounds, going two
■aih against five sparring partners.
Two of these were heavy lads and
the other three were light sp\ dy
, boys who were doing thqir best to
make the champion travel on high
as, ho moved about the ring.
Right after he finished and
stepped from the ring, 1 had a long
>' talk with him. You’d have sworn
I he had only gone through the most
( ordinary exercise if you hadn't
seen him doing the srenuous stuff
in the ring just before that.
He had a good sweat up, which
was a fine healthy sign, but he
1 wasn’t even breathing hard.
Hence I’d say that the folks who
' figure on Dempsey’s wind and con
’ dition being bad are barking up
the wrong tree.
■ It looked to me like the two box
■ ers who step into the ring on July
4th will be in as near perfect phy-
1 sieal trim as any two battlers that
ever clashed for the world’s heavy
weight crown.
Gibbons is a man with an ideal,
family life and that’s the big an- |
swer to his always being in the
pink of shape. He has never done j
