was not a dissenting voice against the
verdict of Referee Georges Carpenter
there were no cheers for the winner,
for the black man fought dirty"
fight and at times the fans thought
the Judge had enough cause to disqual-
ify the titleholder for holding and hit
ting.
The blow that really decided the
contest came in the tenth round and it
was foul. After being warned sew
eral times in the early periods for
rough work. Johnson walked into a
clinch in the tenth and on the call of
break" pushed in e. straight left to
Moran's nose and mouth. The crowd
Kissed and Carpenter stopped the bat
tie for a second or two to warn john
son that a repetition would end the
battle. This did not help Moran, how
ever, for the blow was damaging and
he never recovered thereafter.
Moran never faltered or complained
and needed the referees bidding in
every round.

ACTRESS MUST GIVE UP PET
ing Terror in Boulevards and
Restaurants.

Paris.-Mme. Argos, a young , Ru-
manian actress who has been causing
some excitement in the bouleyards and
the Bots de Boulogne by. driving about
in taxicabs with a formidable unmuz-
zled leopard, was politely informed by
the police that if she continues to ap-
pear in the public streets with her
dangerous favorite her leopard will be-
seized and taken to the fourriere, or
pound for stray animals, and be as
phyxiated
The young actress, who is passion
ately fond of her pet that has been
frightening customers of cafes and
restaurants out of their wits, will place
the animal temporarily in the menag-
erie of the Jardin des Plantes.
1t Is strange to say that M. Hem
MON, the project of police, was unable,
to find any recent city ordinance au-
thorizing the police to seize the leop-
ard, or other wild animals accompa-
MED and cared for by the owners, un-
til he discovered bylaw dated April
3, 1928, requiring owners of animals
capable of frightening the public to
provide themselves with special IL
censes. BY virtue of this law of
Charles X, the police are now able
legally to put a stop to the sensational
drives of the Rumanian actress and
her leopard.
Prince Troubetskoy, the Russian
sculptor, who is in the habit Of walk
ing about streets with huge wolf,
was also notified of the application of
this newly discovered ordinance.
