Jack Dempsey is FavOrite
Over Morris for Tonight

Jack Dempsey, whose efforts to get
a title match with Jess Willard have
not been crowned with success, ap-
pears 10 have determined to acquire
sufficient reputation to force the
champion into a battle. Dempsey ap-
parently has decided TO whip all
available opponents two or three
times for good measure and thus
convince Willard hat he is a worthy
challenger for the championship.
Although Dempsey twice has beat
en- Carl Morris. once on points in a
once by Knockout in the fifth round
of a bout scheduled for ten in BuIa-
10. he will fight him again tonight.
The bout will be held in Iouisiana
Auditorium, New Orleans. 1t Is sched-
uled for twenty rounds, but it is not
likely to last that long. Dempsey Is
q decided favorite.
Dempsey seems to be the only
heavyweight who car survive the o II
tactics of Morris and then bring the
burly rough and tumble fighter to his
knees. IL the Buffalo bout Morris
struck Dempsey a foul blow in the
fifth round, and the referee was bou
to disqualify the offender when
Dempsey asked the official to let the
bout proceed. The request was grant
ed and a minute later Morris was
hanging over the ropes and his sec
onds tossed a towel from his corner.
There appears to be small doubt
that Dempsey, unless he is disabled
by MorIis's foul tactics, will again
knock out the giant Oklahoman.

Pal Moore a GOod DOdger

LONDON, Dec. 1s:-Additionai re-
ports OF Pal Moore'S victory over
Jimmy Wilde in their bout for the
King George Cup last week state that
they were both tremendously keen
and both did a lot Of missing. Wilde,
whenever he essayed his long range
shots, did we'll. but every time that
Moore got within half arm distance
he scored three points to the English
champions one.
Moore was barely able 10 dodge
the Welshman's long rang blows. as
were the latter's previous opponents.
but at close quarters Moore more
than held his own. II was no doubt
the Americans good infghting that
gained the decision for him"
Another writer cahled as follows:
while talking with n reporter who
had seen hundreds OF fights / was
surprised to find he agreed with the
judges. The verdict, he said. Moore
won satisfactorily through inlghting.
adding the specially Significant fact
that before the bout began Wilde
asked the master OF ceremonies to
announce the weights OF the two
men. Moore was quite twenty pounds
the heavier. Wilde's request was a
course seldom taken here"

The phonograph today owes its existence to Thomas
"A. Edison. When, nearly half a century ago, he made
the first phonograph he began a service that did not end
until he gave to the world the wonderful New Edison.
For years Mr.. Edison worked at his dream of Re-Cre-
ating music in tones of 1natchless beauty-improving
his plans here-changing them there-never swerving
from his i~deal-working with passionate ardor day and
night. And then, at last, after years of patient striving,
and the expenditure of s., 1000 600 for research work-the
dream came true.
Come in and hear this super photograph which has
proved to over 100000 music lovers In 1,500 Tone
Tests that the original music and The New Edison Re-
Creations are indistinguishable.
