vTHERE is renewed interest in heavy
L weight and light heavyweight circles.
When Jack Dempsey topped the giant
Kansan he brought the heavyweight
class back to normal.
Dempsey has been the real giant
killer. For few seasons there were
three superheavyweights - Willard,
Fulton and Morris-that male life
most unpleasant for the six foot. 200
pound boys. Dempsey knocked out
the three hulks in less than seven
rounds-eighteen seconds for Fulton,
less than three rounds for Morris and
three for Willard.
Now that regulation heavyweight
is in charge, the remainder of the field
has become more courageous and all
seem willing to engage the new king.
After Knockout
Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh mauler,
is the latest. Greb's recent conquests
have been at the expense of Mike Glib
bons, Billy Miske, Bill Brennan and
Willie Meehan. He has been an un-
questioned winner over these four.
Miske twice fought Dempsey, stay
ing the limit in a ten round session in
st. Paul and in a six round fray at
the Olympia. Brennan gave Dempsey
the hardest fight he ever had for six
rounds year ago. He injured his
leg and had to quit.
Dempsey's two greatest feats pre-
vious to beating Willard were in stop
ping Fred Fulton and Battling Le-
whisky.

LONDON. Dec. i7.-(By MALL
Thanks to aviation the world grows
smaller every day.
Time was when Londoners regarded
Paris as a tewn a Ions way OF, and
those who went there considered ihem-
selves well-traveled. Those were the
days when straight as a crow flies"
was a mere figure OF speech; but now
the Journey 10 Paris is being made that
way every day. Parisians are becom-

than It would TO drop in and see his
wife In their little suburban home.
A similar idea occurred TO Fred II.
Lawton, OF the American Y. VI. C. A.
While London was rejoicing over the
signing OF the armistlce the American
conceived the idea Of showing the
Yanks and compatriots ln Paris lust
what form these rejolclngs took. So a
movie OF the London crowds was taken.
With this Lawton left England at 1890
p. NJ, and arrived In Paris In time for
luncheon. The flight was made ln a
big Handley-Page airplane, and from
start to finish took only 30 minutes.
That night the Partisan armistlcers
were able TO see on the screen the an
tics Of their friends in London, with
whom they were united in a common
rejoicing.
