...prize bout of the evening was in the unlimited class, where K. D. Robinson '30 defeated Elmer Meyer 1G. S. There was no stalling, they laced into each other with a flock of hard blows; the mix-up looked like a battle of siege guns. Meyer took the offense, and was far, ahead at the first bell; he started off the second round with a rush, but tired quickly, and was an easy target for Robinson's pounding...

In signing Dempsey he gained as an asset the most magnetic personality in the fight game today. Dempsey proved as much when he rushed into the breach upon Rickard's death and by sheer ballyhoo turned the Sharkey-Stribling bout in Florida from a certain failure into a financial success. The Dempsey-Fugazy...
