 BERLIN, Sept 14.-While little at tention was paid by the German press to the Dempsey Carpenter champion ship bout at the time 1t took place, many papers are now devoting col umns of news" and comment to the details as gleaned from American pa pers that arrived with the latest steamers.

 Jersey City, July ?, 1921. - It is fabulous. Civilized America is fever ish with the consciousness of approach ing the most momentous moment in it's history since the discovery of the continent G492). New York. which but few hours ago presented the picture of a migration of peoples, was like a deserted city half an hour be. fore the beginning of the sensational Dempsey-Carpentier match. My chaui- feur is nearly insane with excitement, and the bowling of his auto.horn echoes through the deserted streets. In the middle of Broadway a pack Of dogs are developing familiar relations Half of America is at Jersey City.

 The first casualty lists are just be- ing announced. As fare as can be as certained at this time-ten minutes before the world-historic event-these are the figures:
 1.-TWO hundred and nine persons crushed, cut and bruised; eighty-seven persons shot; twenty-four have lost their minds; 3l,OOO have been robbed; twenty.three have fainted.
 YES, FLYING HOSPITALS!
 Fourteen flying hospitals, equipped with ultra modern apparatus. are dis playing heroic activity. Eighteen po- lice planes and ninety private aircraft are circliag over the arena. The click ing of cameras sounds like distant ma chine-gun firing. Twenty-Five tele- graph operators have been forced to quit because of fingercramps, but they are readily replaced. News comes from the seashore that the sizzling Transatlantic cables have brought the ocean water to boiling point.
 Jersey City. 3:Ol p. m.-The boxers have entered the ring. The public is shrieking so loudly that two fliers al ready have crashed to the ground as result of the revcrberation.
 Jersey City. 3:O5 D. m.-The bout has started. Carpenter is dealing punches to Dempsey. but only to the head. Dempsey answers with two up- percuts. Carpenters nose bleeding is made chronic by terrific blow from Dempsey. which. incidentally, breaks the bridge of the Frenchmans nose.

 SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 14.-Usual ly tennis "set" is. won 6-2 or 6.3 or e.. sometimes there are times when it goes to SC; or 1O-S without exciting any exceptional comment. It is time for comment when a set is won l2-lO or better and when it goes 10 l7.l5 there is no question of doubt as to wonder.
 Such a match set was made in one of the Davis cup series and it stands today as the longest set on reGNrd in Davis Cup play. IL was the match between Mclaughlin and Brookes of Australia in the 1914 series when America won It was the opening set of the match between the pair and was just another question eventually of youth vs. age the youth of MCLough. lin conquering. That the thirty two games played in the set were close all the way through are best attested to by point score which gave Me Loughlin a total of Ill to 9S by Brookes.
 Up in Vancouver they have a real champion single souls oarsman. He is Major John Taylor He won the Pacific northwest singles title and then stepped into the four cared shell and rowed number two slide in the winning boat
 R. p Woodward. president of the Northern Rowing Association believes that Taylor is destined to be the anna teur sculler of the world. Taylor leaves for South Africa this week and will be busy on an engineering project until 1923 At that time he is due for a six months leave of ab- sence and he has planned to enter the world famous Diamond Souls" race in London that year. Woodward con. fidently predicts that the major will win the event.
 Suzanne Lenglen, the little French tennis expert, has expressed her fears that the sporting public of the United States has Catalogued her as poor sport owing to her dramatic collapse on the tennis court, and her sole de- sire seems now to seek an opportunity to set herself straight. We have gone over hundreds of newspapers. pub lished in all sections of the United States and we have yet to find any comment in connection with the incl dent which does not accord Miss Leng len full measure of sympathy. Her fears are groundless.
 Jack Dempsey now states that he has no intention of fighting the negro Jack Johnson, thus inferring he has drawn the color line. As far as John ion that the public has more to say in the matter than the champion. Just why this talk of Johnson anyhow He is about 45 years old, or not far from it. which. from an athletic point of view. is an old man. To continue sug- gesting the negro as a possible con tender is simply playing into his hands. No man ever was more of a notoriety seeker

ISOLATED FRENcHMEN LYNCHED

Dempsey has won. The public is indescribable. To the official casualty list are added some awe-inspiring sui eide figures. Seventy-nine bands play The Stars and Stripes American flags are hoisted everywhere. and a few isolated Frenchmen are lynched.
