THE SILVER FOXES How Dempaey and Fl>iui Planned The (ireat Battle in New York. New York, Jui> .;u They call hiiu "The Silver Fox lie was christened I/eo Peter Flynn. TU spurts fra ternity takes libertb - and call him Leo "Pieen" Flynn. The difference In'ween the Jack Dempsey at Philadelphia and the Jack Dempsey at New 1 ?>rk last week I?was Leo "Pisen" I".> nn -the Silver Fox?who, as Dempsc^'s manager and I chief advisor, did one big factor in helping bring victory over Sharkey to the former champion. The aftermath of the DempseySharkey battle found conversation ceptered almost chiefly in discussion of whether or not Dempsey had fouled Sharkey in the knockout mixup in the seventh round. Now that sober analysis of the battle has been made virtually all unbiased and fair judges agree that Dempsey's victory was clean-cut and that the belter man won by following a carefully planned battle and leading the bragging sailor on to his Waterloo. And "Silver F<^' Flynn had a big hand in this. Discussing the sidelights of the battle, both before and after, Flynn disclosed to the writer the de+ails of a hoax which was put on'the^ew Yortcgamblers^and which incidentally lead on until even the Sharkey camp fell for it. A few days before the fight Flynn learned ' that the New York gambling clique which cleaned up on Tunney at Philadelphia?was out with a pool of $65,000 to bet on the Dempsey-i Sharkey match. "I heard the boys were sending an agent to Saratoga to look over Dempsey," said the Silver Fox. "They had agreed to be governed by his decision. They picked a good man?one of the best boxers that ever live)!. He approached me at the camp?for my confidental opinion. "I gave it to him. I told him I was doing as well as I could considering that Dempsey was an old guy. I was down-hearted. I did everything but cry. Finally? I was forced to tell him that ih my opinion Dempsey would have to win within five rounds?or 'good night.' "Well?it worked. They went hook* line and sinker on Sharkey. Best of all, however, they let Sharkey in on the 'inside' info?and Sharkey, too fell for it. Really?all Sharkey's loud talk was based on the fact that he thought he was going into the ring to meet a wheezy old gent. And ye gods?he was meeting a fighter every bit as strong as he was and with dynamite in both hands. "Now here is something that should be of much interest to some of the alleged experts?who even" yet are trying to make their audiences believe that it was1 all Sharkey up to the knockout by Dempsey. "Up to the time that Dempsey landed that right and left in the seventh round he was pulling his punches. I will say for Jack Dempsey that despite everything that happened in earlier rounds, he followed the prearranged battle plaps to the letter. He Is one grand soldier and fighter. "The idea was to encou.age Sharkey in the belief that he fcou'.d afford to trade wallops with Dempsey. And did ft work?now I ask you? "Dempsey told me at the end of the fifth roiind that he felt Sharkey going. He was oonvinced then that victory >vas his and he whisper*, d to me?r'l've got-him. He's ready to go. I hope he don't take a dive. 1 want to .knonck hirfi out!' "Here's another point. Look hack at Dempsey's last statement to the press at weighing-in-time. He sai.i he would win with two punches. AVcll?he did. It was the right to the solar plexus and left to the"chin ir the* seventh round. Jack didn't saj whert he would shoot acfoas thos< two blows. Hut he knew and I knew and there they are. "And they were tlie only two real punches he let go in the whole fight. "Can Jack Detnysey sock?" "At the end of the first round Sharkey told his handlers, "Why Deiupsey can't break an egg.' "Maybe not - inabe so 4.h|U down deep in Jack Sharkey's heart he now knows what real punching ia- and from the receiving end."
