	Boxing's Greatest Upsets Book by Thomas Myler - Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Dempsey, the 'Manassa Mauler', was regarded as one of the most formidable of the heavyweight champions, a killing machine who had mowed down all opposition since winning the title from brave Jess Willard in July 1919.
		Dempsey was labelled a 'slacker' and a 'draft dodger' and it took years for him to be able to live it down.
		Dempsey and Kearns were so confident that they bet their entire purse of $10,000 that Jess would not last a round -- and at odds of 10/1, they stood to win $100,000.

	Big Fight, The Story of World Championship Boxing by Denzil Batchelor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Dempsey's determination to earn fortune and a place in society dated from the humiliation suffered when with mother, brother and sister he was all but turned off a train on one of the family's periodical cross-country 'flits' because he was too big to travel half-fare and too poor to pay for a grown-up's ticket.
		When Dempsey shot out a steely straight left, he unleashed a terrific right uppercut that seemed as if it must wrench the arm from its socket; and then the left was tossed, like a caber, into the body, breaking three ribs as it landed.
		Dempsey was at bay throughout the fight; and there could be no question as to whom the referee would name as winner.

		After watching Jack Dempsey's colourful career, we are not a bit surprised to find that the most famous and hotly debated of all such problems happened to him, and it was important enough to make the actual decision of a fight, and a championship, hang upon it.
		Jack had done so well with his exhibitions that he knew his drawing power was still there, and pressure was constantly being put on him.
		Dempsey's fee for refereeing a fight was twenty-five hundred dollars and fifty per cent of the gate receipts over ten thousand, and he was worth every dime of it.

		Dempsey's next fight was one of the most unusual in the history of American ring annals.
		Prior to the fight, Dempsey wrote Jimmy McGlade of Cleveland that Reagan had a tough gang that intended to see that Reagan won by any means, fair or foul, but that he also would have his gang on hand and Reagan's bunch would have to go some to put their man across.
		LaBlanche was stronger than Dempsey figured and, pivoting again, brought his right with terrific force on Dempsey's nose, flooring the champion, who fell flat on his face groaning and crying for a chance to regain the title.

		Dempsey was actually substituting for his brother Bernie, who had until then fought under the name of Jack Dempsey, in honor of the great Irish middleweight Jack Dempsey the Nonpareil, who died in 1895,; the year in which William Harrison was born.
		Dempsey's glory was shortlived, however, for the very next day writer Grantland Rice labelled Dempsey a "slacker" in his New York Tribune column, referring to his alleged draft evasion.
		Dempsey soon found himself in a peculiarly modern position: he became a sports hero--or anti-hero--whose image took on extraordinary significance in the climate of publicity and marketing that was coming to dominate sports promotion.

		At one time Jack's mother had been given an old book about John L. Sullivan by a magazine seller to whom she had given a glass of milk, and she said before Jack's birth that he would be a boy and would grow up to be a champion boxer like Sullivan.
		Dempsey beat Gunboat Smith in a four-rounder in San Francisco--but didn't know about it until he was riding the Oakland ferry later and a second shook him by the shoulders and told him he had won.
		Dempsey, who played the part of "Tiger," was startled at meeting the ethereal, almost effeminate Belasco, but he was polite and he stuck it out for the run of the play.
