‘Montana Jack* Says
Dempsey the Greatest
(Editor’s note: Davis Walsh is a well-known American sports
columnist who recently devoted his column to “Montana Jack"
Sullivan’s appraisal of all-time boxing greats. Sullivan is a na
tive O’Neillite and himself a ring performer of yesteryear.
Walsh's piece, taken from the Chicago Herald-American, fol
lows:
By DAVIS WALSH
Another voice from the garish, lamp-lit vistas of the deep
past comes hollowly and ghost-like aross the years today to chal
lange other listings for the prize ring’s Gallery of Greatness, and
politely offer its own.
* The demurrer is filed by “Montana Jack” Sullivan, who just |
missed greatness himself in a day when the brown derby was de
igeur, the exposed suspender a
badge of manhood and men were so
tough (presumably) they brushed
their teeth with a nail file. Appar
ently, in fact, we’re all agreed on
that point—with the possible excep
tion of Montana Jack.
He doesn't pick his No. 1 man of
the half-century from those hallowr
ed names of his own generation. In
stead, he violates every precept and
tenet of the Old Settlers’ code by se
lecting a semi-modern as his nomi
nee.
He names the Jack Dempsey of
Toledo as the prize fighters’ prize
fighter of the last 50 years, saying:
"The most devastating fighter,
and the greatest I ever saw at any
weight, was the Jack Dempsey
who fought Willard that day . . "
Whereat, old Montana Jack, now
'MONTANA JACK' 72, forwards from Butte his own
Gay Nineties version of boxing’s top 10 in their order of merit, as
it appealed to his judgment after watching them in action, fight
ing them in the ring or boxing with them in training camps. Thus:
1, Dempsey; 2, Kid McCoy (Norman Selby); 3. Stanley
Ketchel; 4, Packy McFarland; 5, Joe Gans; 6, James J. Jeffries;
7, Sam Langford; 8, Battling Nelson; 9, Abe Attell; 10. Joe Louis.
The list, he said, didn’t represent a controversial “counter”
for another set of selections which appeared here recently under
the aegis of Ike Bernstein, whom Montana Jack calls “a real
authority.”
At the same time (said he) he reserved the right to feel as
he did, especially after fighting some of them. Ketchel, for in
stance, with whom he went 20 rounds. And of whom he speaks
just a little waspishly, as follows:
"He was a killer, and would foul or do anything to win. I
believe, however, that Kid McCoy should be ranked next to
Dempsey, with Ketchel in third place."
Oddly, according to various legends, McCoy was nobody’s
devoted chum himself, once they rang that bell. But Montana
Jack makes no mention of that, doubtless because his memory of
same is less personal and physical. As for the rest of it:
"I can't see Leonard being in the same class with McFar
land and Gans. I rate this pair fourth and fifth respectively . . .
and I put Jeffries in as the greatest heavyweight after Demp
sey, and sixth among all the fighters I ever saw.
“Jeffries was left-handed, had a low crouch that was hard to
penetrate, and he could take more beating than any five men who
ever participated in boxing.
“Jack Johnson was a great defensive boxer but he was so
much afraid of a punch that he cannot be ranked better than
seventh . . . Bat Nelson, at his best, was so very tough that no
lightweight could stand up against him over a long route.
“He kept charging into an opponent with the' impact of a
concrete post and, at the same time, using a cutting left to the
liver that ruined several good fighters.”
Belatedly and perhaps a little grudgingly, Joe Louis barely
gets in under the gate at No. 10, being named possibly as a con
cession to modern tastes. Anyhow, he dismisses Louis somewhat
briskly, calling him “a grand champion who has met all comers.”
As for modern tastes, Montana—reverting to character—is
less at pains to conceal his contempt, being moved to sniff
disdainfully and unoriginally:
“I wouldn’t go across the street to see a hundred of these
mauling fights of today.” j
. . . And of course, be it ever so banal, the verdict is dead j
right.
4.4 Miles Bee-Line
Construction Slated
Completing the present gap
on the east-west road north of
Magnet was among the projects
advertised for bids this week by
the Nebraska state highway de
partment.
This proposal is for 4.4 miles ,
of construction between Creigh
ton and Laurel in both Knox
and Cedar counties. This con
tract, when let, will be the first
step since the war ended to
ward improving a bee-line
highway from O’Neill to Sioux
City. It will be a gravel sur
faced road 29 feet wide, requir
ing 4,260 cubic yards of gravel.
The grading will necessitate the
excavation and moving of 245,
650 cubic yards of earth.
One wooden bridge on the
road is to be removed. Plans
rail for building 3 concrete box
culverts and laying 16 pipe cul
verts. Other incidental work to
improve the highway will in
clude drainage across driveways
and deal ing the right of way.
