AME!slcAN G0ops RoTrING

Lucian Swift kirtland, in Leslies.
 That America is as yet in the primer class as far as trade guidance goes can be demonstrated by a short walk ln Bomb Within three blocks of ny hotel there Is a large empty lot. Heaped like rocks at the foot of q mountain are innumerable boxes, dumped under the tropical sun. These boxes contain American motor ears, Nobody apparently cares to whom they helong. Acceptance has been refused. Maybe they came out at too high price in the beginning, but when tho rupee fell in value, the high price of the dollar was the death knell of these shipments. The Indian buyers couldn't OF wouldn't carry the load.
 After look at this vacant lot and its story, one may keep on walking toward the docks. I have no figures, but ones eye notes that the vast con- gestion of unaceepted bales and hoxes Contains a far larger proportion of American goods than can be discov- cred from the ports of any other coun- try. l suppose the next step at home will be to put the blame on the Indian market tSoo,0o0,e0e peopleD as d 'washeut" Let's look at the beam in our eye.

Speedy "Dixie Jack' To Make Debut in B. A. C. Ring
Frank Chestain Meets Albert Rose in Fina-Comedy
 Act Is Scheduled

Three feature bouts and two pre- lilmlinary events, 28 rounds of boxing in all, are scheduled on tonight's fis- tic card at the Birmingham Athletic club. Sailor Blanque of New Orleans, a hard-hitting, 140-pounder, will in- wade the Magic City in an attempt to carry off honors in the main To- round go, meeting "Dixie Jack" AL len. Pacific coast lad, who has toted his satchels to Birmingham and now claims the Magic City his home.
 Allen Fast and Can Hit
 In Allen. Tommy Tompkins believes he has stumbled upon a young phe- nomv of the genuine type The young ster--he is only a couple of years over 2O-packs combination of ring advan- tages hard to find, namely, speed, science and hitting powers A really speedy battler rarely has the steam to his blows that his slower. huskier contemporaries possess, but Allen com pines swiftness of hand and foot with ability to put every ounce of his strength behind his blows. and the re- svlt is to be expected-a formidable aGhting machine.
 BIanaue Battler
 Sailer Blanque, while perhaps not as speedy as Allen, is every bit as Husky and can hit a blow equally as hard as his sorrel-tepped opponent of tonight. The Crescent City lad has powers of assimi1ating punishment really remarkable in one of his weight. This was proven when BlaHque met Dummy Harrington last summer. the Louisianan taking gobs of punishment from the Acipco walloper.
 In the Allen Blanque fracas, local bugs should find the opportunity of witnessing one of the best and most thrilling ring engagements of the year in Birmingham. Both boys are game to the core and the mixing is sure to be fast and furious.

 Albert Rose. another New Orleans scrapper. Is also in Birmingham seek ing honors In the squared arena. Rose will meet Frank Chestain, one of the best amateur lightweights ever pro- duced in Birmingham, in the six-round semi final bout tonight. Chestain will weigh in around 133, while Rose will tip the beam at about 130 pounds

 Meats are still on the H. 0. L. sched- ule. It may be we'll that they are, for fruits and vegetables are not only much cheaper but more conducive 10 health. There are So many ways of cooking even the common varieties of vegetables that there IS no need of having a monotonous bill of fare. The first idea to be considered in cooking vegetables whether they belong to the roo, class or the green class is the temperature of the water.

GEORGES SPENDS HIS
 SABBATH IN BOUNCING

JACK DEMPSEY IS LOSING NO TIME IN
 GETTING IN SHAPE

Atlantic City. June 5.--(Jaek Demp- sey, heavyweight champion. convinced his admirers today that he has settled down to conditioning himself for the defense of his title against Georges Carpenter at Jersey City July 2.
 Dempsey boxed six vicious rounds, taking Martin Burke, Jack Renault and Larry Williams on for two rounds each with only rest of 30 seconds between rounds.
 After stepping two lively sessions with Burke. Dempsey ripped into Re- Eault and all but knocked him out in the first round. Renault has been doing nicely with Dempsey in the past be- cause of his clever lodging. Today Dempsey went after the Canadian heavyweight and there was no getting away. He caught Renault flush on the chin with a wicked left hook. Re- Hault's legs stiffened and his arms flew up over his head as if he had touched live wire. He swayed into the ropes, actually knocked stiff, ana slid into the waiting arms of Teddy Hayes, Dempsey's trainer, who was the referee.
 The cut over Dempsey's left eye was reopened in the first round he werked with Williams, the last man to- face him. The champion missed right swing and Williams, trying awkwardly to avade the smash, butted Dempsey over the eye. A thin stream ef blood gushed from the wound for the balance of the round.
 Some first aid treatment was applied and the champien boxed the sixth round with bloody smear across his forehead and face. Williams was nearly dropped twice in the last round
 The champion worked in his sur- baked arena fer 70 minutes, pulling the weights, shadow boxing and taking some bending exercises in addition to the boxing.
 Dempsey was weighed in his ioung- ing clothes today and sealed 204 pounds, which indicated that he would weigh between 196 and 19S hounds in fighting tegs. when he jumped on the scales Dempsey wore sweater coat, trousers. silk shirt and street snees
 HAWAII COMPLBTELY CIyILIzED From the Mining Congress Journal.
 One of the most interesting taings in recent report of one of the sev- ernment departments is an account of strike which teak place last year in our pisnissino possession, Hawaii The plantations have wage scale based on sugar selling at cents pound. When the price of sugar rose, the planters of their own accord an- nounced a general wage bonus corrc- spending to the percentage of increase in the price of sugar. The only con dition was that laborcrs should remain on plantations a year and work 20 days a month before becoming entitled to the bonus. During 1913 the bonus was 90 per cent and for the first six months of last year 1t exceeded 500 per cent. Nevertheless. during this latter period several thousand planta- tion laborers on the island of Oahl struck for a 15-day month. They rs- mained idle five months, when they returned to work upon the old basis.
 The only comment necessary upon this little episode is found in the heal ing to this article,
