Dec. 19, 1914 -- Cow Palace, San Francisco, CA -- Exciting newcomer Jack Dempsey, aka "The Manassa Mauler" brings his five-bout unbeaten string back to San Francisco and the Cow Palace, on the undercard of a FW title bout between Abe Attell and Johnny Kilbane (won't tell you which title is up for grabs, have to wait for the year-end FW report). His opponent is veteran Trial Horse, Gene Lancaster, whose 0-7-1 record is indicative of the fact that he has taken his lumps (along with numerous trips to the canvas) against the top new talent in the HW division in recent years. Lancaster's suspect chin should be an inviting target for Dempsey, who has ended all his previous bouts inside the distance. Jack, now at Pre-Prime career stage, steps up to the 8-round distance for the first time but stamina should not be an issue as the pundits predict another KO victory for the hot young heavyweight prospect.

Dempsey rushes out from the bell, looking for another quick KO victory. Lancaster backs up and stays a way for a minute, but then Jack finds the range with a straight right to set up Lancaster for a devastating cross. Gene slumps to the canvas and is counted out without flinching a muscle. Dempsey wins again, by KO at 1:57 of the first. It is the third time he has finished an opponent in the first round.

Jack's record for his debut year is an impressive 6-0, all wins by knockouts, with a total of 408 pp. Now at Pre-Prime, he will be taking a bit of time off before being scheduled for his next bout, some time in February of 1915.

(As you may have noticed by the dateline, just a few more bouts to go to finish up 1914 action -- expect the year-end reports to commence in a day or so.)
