...round in 1918: "If I had to lose, I was glad it was to Jack Dempsey." Replied Dempsey: "It was you fellows who made me." From France came Georges Carpentier, a dandy of 63, who plugged not only Dempsey but his own Paris restaurant. From the Argentine came Luis Angel Firpo, 62, once the Wild Bull of the Pampas, now a lumbering giant whose dignity shone somehow through his confusion with the alien nonsense around him. Gene Tunney, anticlimactically absent, sent a message of homage to "the noblest Roman of them all." In turn, Dempsey thought that Tunney...

Twenty-eight promises were made by angels, one by man to an angel, and two were made by an evil spirit to the Lord. Satan made nine, as when he promised the world to Christ "if thou wilt fall down and worship me" (to which Christ answered: "Get thee hence, Satan"). Grand total of promises...
