Jack appears in his third pro bout August 8, 1914 at SF's famed Cow Palace. He heads West to face rugged Artie Detmer, who at 0-3 has yet to taste success in the pro ranks. Jack steps up a bit in distance, as this is a scheduled six-rounder (his first two were scheduled for four, as if it ever became an issue).

Dempsey charges out at the bell and less than a minute into the fight, he lands a short clean combination that drops Dettmer to the canvas. Artie is up at the count of one, and he tries to beat a hasty retreat as the Manassa Mauler presses forward. After a minute or so of evasive tactics, Dettmer finds he can run but he can't hide as Dempsey corners him on the ropes. Jack lands a series of perfect punches and Dettmer offers no resistance as he slides down in a heap. The ref counts him out at 2:32 of the first. It's a first round KO for Jack Dempsey.

After this bout, Dempsey's record stands at 3-0 (3) with 317 pp.
