But the courage had not oozed out of Jesse Sweetser. “I’m going home,” he said quietly. “If I have to die I want to be with the family when I go. There's another reason, too, and that’s why I wish you news- paper boys wouldn’t write any- thing about this. We are expect- ing a little one soon I want to be there. I have to be there.

The doctors told him it. would be fatal to return to the ring, but he sought out Floyd Fitzsimmons, a promoter, and induced him to match him against Dempsey.
