If Bidding Keeps Up
Financial Editor Will
Have to Cover the Bout

Dempsey now holds heavyweight cham
pionship of the first national banks. First
bid offered for the proposed Dempsey
Carpenter fracas has now suffered up
to $3.50, 900. The ciphers are effervescing
like glass of charged water. If the
bidding keeps ciphefing up well have to
top 1t all by floating another Liberty
bond loan for the fray. Only attractive
offer left now to hold the title in Eu
rope is to let Germany pay of its In
demnity to the winner. Sports editors
are contemplating switching stories on
the proposed swat scenario to the fnan-
cial page. Reading the ticker tape in a
corner of the ring will replace the old
custom of examining tape knuckles. II
it happens, the fight by rounds will be
run off in the stock quotations column.
ROUND ONE.

opening. Carpenter opened at 1895 with
