Ring Bouts Of
Carp and Champ

Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard
met for the worlds heavyweight
championship at Toledo. o., July
4, 1919. The day was biisteringly
hot. Thermometers at the ringside
registered as high as 100 degrees.
che big arena. constructed TO seat
$4,000 persons, contained only a
few hundred more than 10000, The
gate receipts, however, insured the
financial success Of the project.
There was a marked contrast in
the demeanor OF the boxers as they
entered the ring. Jess Willard, the
champion, was almost arrogautly
confident. He approached the ring
with sure stride, climbed through
the ropes and gazed calmly out on
the crowd with the suggestion Of a
confident smile playing around his
mouth.
Dempsey's manner was more
serious. A scowl, which visitors at
his Atlantic City training camp
have sen this summer while he has
boxed. was intensified as he heard
the instructions OF Referee Ollie
Record. The casual observer would
have said he was doubtful Of his
ability to defeat this huge oppo.
nent.
With the bell for the opening
round, doubt as TO Dempsey's con.
fldence vanished. He rushed vii.
lard, plying him with rights and
lefts, first to the jaw, then to the
body.
After As seconds OF action, a
right to the body and left to the
jaw dropped Willard to the can
vas. For the remainder OF the
round. the champion displayed cour.
age seldom equalled in the squared
circle. Seven times during the
round, Willard was either knocked
down or sent helpless to the ropes.
He was prone when the gong sound
ed for the close OF the round. In
the clamor, the gong was not heard
and It was believed for a moment
that Willard had been knocked out.
Dempsey even started TO leave the
ring, believing that he was the vic
tor. There has been doubt as 10
whether be actually got out Of the
ring.
Willard, a CORY, bloody, mass,
both eyes closed but still fighting,
managed to last two more rounds.
He was unable to answer the bell
for the fourth round and Dempsey
was declared the winner by a
knockout In three rounds.

probably the most sensational Of

Carpenter, through his superb
boxing skill, gave Moreau a terrific
beating in eight rounds, forcing his
opponent to quit, although with a
ruse in which Moreau's seconds de-
clared that his glove had been
split and his hand injured.
Carpenter was now ready to
meet Wells. The bout was staged in
Client, June l, 1918.
Carpenter knocked out Wells in
the fourth round. The Freedman
declares that the first three min.

he ever experienced in the ring.

ROADS DENIED PAY
FOR LABOR 'LET-UP'
|. C. c. Rules Guarantee
Does Not Cover In
efficiency.

Cost Of labor allowances to rail-
roads for the six months guarantee
period following government control
will include only increased wages and
not alleged "inefficiency of labor
factors, under a decision handed down
yesterday afternoon by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Under the ruling the carriers must
stand any loss incidental to alleged
unwillingness or inability Of labor to
perform during the guarantee period
of private control as much work as
before the war. The question in
wolves the basis cf claims by the
railroads against the government for
labor costs in operation and main
tenance.
Claims founded upon alleged inef-
fectiveness of labor during the period
amount to "some tens of millions of
dollars" the decision said.
Contract Terns in Dispute.
The controversy centered on the
meaning of the words cost Of labor"
as they were used in the standard
contracts between the government
and the railroads at the time the
roads were taken over during the
war The director general of rail-
roads contended that the contract
intended to guarantee the rates OF
pay per unit for railroad labor. while
the carriers argued that the labor
should be computed in terms OF the
accomplishment of a given result,
and hence the words included in their
meaning quality as we'll as wages Of
labor.
Intent Held to BE Clear.
'aThe words cost of labor the COM
mission held. do not, we think. open
the door to a comparison Of the quail
ty or efficiency of labor. To hold
otherwise would be contrary to the
plain intent OF the proviso. for it Is
Impossible by resort to the accounts
of the carriers to determine the rela-
tive efficiency of labor at various Pc
riods, and the introduction of this
indefinite and intangible factor would
have relegated the accounting test
to the very limbo of controversy and
conflict Of opinion, which it was de-
signed to avoid.
IF it had been the intent to in
clude the factor of quality or effec-
tiveness or efficiency, whatever it may
be termed, this would have been done
in apt and unmistakable language
and not by the strained construction
of phrase susceptible of simpler in
terpretation. This view is strongly
confirmed by the history of the nego-
tiations."

SPEEDERS TO PAY
MORE COLLATERAL
Oysters Order Calls for $40
From All Who Pass Limit
Up to 20 Miles.

From today on, higher collateral will
be demanded by the police for the re-
lease Of autoists charged with exceeding
the speed limit.
This was ordered d>yesterday afternoon
by Commissioner Oyster with a view to
breaking up the practice among speed
violators Of depositing collateral in a
station house and then forfeiting it
rather than appear in court.
Maj. Gessford announced, following
a conference with the Commissioner,
that he had instructed precinct captains
to require SO collateral for speeding up
to twenty miles an hour. and $50 COL
lateral where the motorist is accused
Of exceeding twenty miles. The speed
limit is eighteen miles an hour.
Order Dates From 1917,
An order issued by the Commissioners
in 1919 directed the police to accept IS
collateral for the first offense Of speed
ing. where there was no evidence of
reckless driving. and $40 for the second
offense. In cases Of reckless driving the
order called for $50 on the first occa-
sion and $40 for a second offense
Under the. orders issued yesterday
by Maj. Gessford no alleged speeder
will be permitted to deposit less than
SO for his appearance in court. and
il he is making more than twenty
miles he will be required to put up $40
Commissioner Oyster said yester-
day afternoon he took up with police
officials several weeks ago the ques-
tion of raising the collateral in order
to put stop to the practice of for
feiting deposits.
Few Gases Tried.
Police Judge Mcmahon stated in a
public letter yesterday that out of
1,43s arrests for speeding during May
and June. only sixty-seven, or less
than 5 per cent. were tried in court
The other 1872, it is presumed, for
feited the collateral they had deposit
ed in the station houses.
officials at the District building
agree with Judge Mcmahon that an
increase in the amount Of collateral
will cause motorists to think twice
before they speed.

Market News BY Wireless.

One of the latest developments to-
ward assisting farmers in the profit.
able marketing of their crops is a
daily radio news service instituted
by the bureau of marketing of the
federal department of agriculture.
At a fixed hour each day high power
radio stations at different parts OF
the country send out reports in sim
pie code, covering all the details of
their local market for the day. These
reports can be received by any simple
amateur outfit. The suggestion is
that famrers' organizations, dealers
and all others who are interested in
securing these market reports, in
stall receiving apparatus at a cost of
from SIS to 1925, and secure the
services for an hour or so each day
of some amateur wireless student,
capable of receiving Is words a
minute, who can take this service
for them and bulletin 1T.
There Is a wide field of usefulness
in this wideless service. 1t is the
hope that, through cooperation with
the federal marketing bureau, a SER
vice can be established in this state,
which will give like daily reports on
the local primary market. Negotia-
tons are in effect to secure the estab.
lishment of this service in the near
future.
