THE STAR has been flooded with messages of com
mendaton and good will since Saturday noon
from readers who were pleased with the Dempsey
Carpenter fight extras.
Every paper The Star issued the fight contained
COMPLETE account of the battle, was announced
in advance would be the case. The Star refused to
issue the oldfashoned, stupid dummy" extra on the
fight. Every paper did put out told the blow-by-
blow history of the battle right up to Carpenter
went down for the full count"
And these Star extras were the FIRST papers, by
Is minutes the street with the story, just as was
also advertised in advance. Bn not, of course ahead
of the dummy" extras put out by other newspapers
and printed the night before.
1t anger being duped by of these
phoney papers that brought forth such an unusual
outpouring of commendaton the complete story
The Star gave
But just a word, folks Thanks, awfully, for the
kind remarks. They always arewelcome and cheering
But don't praise for using ordinary journalistic
Cgood and honesty; just credit for having it,
if you please, and that will always have it
until we prove otherwise And well try NEVER to
disappoint you.

sinewy fingers Of a powerful hand
sought his throat while the other
lifted the buldgeon above his head.
But II the strength OF the hairy at
tacker was great, great too was
that OF his smooth.skinned antagon-
ist. Swinging a single terrific blow
with clcnched fist TO the point OF
the others chin, Tarzan momentar-
fly staggered his assailant and then
his own fingers closed upon the
shaggy throat, as with the other
hand he seized the wrist OF the arm
that swung the club. With equal
celebrity he shot his right leg behind
the shaggy brute and throwing his
weight forward hurled the thing
over his hip heavily to the ground.

In the moment OF discovery Tar
zan saw that the attacking creature
was almost counterpart OF his com.
panion In size and conformation.
with the exception that his body
was entirely clothed with a coat OF
shaggy black hair which almost con-
ceaied his features, while his harness
and weapons were similar to those
of the creature he had attacked. Ere
Tarzan could prevent. the creature
had struck the ape-man's compan-
ion a blow upon the head with his
knotted club that felled him, un-
conscious. to the earth; but before
he could inflict further injury upon
his dofenseless prey the ape-man
had closed with him.
