SUMMARIES OF ring BATTLESOF

CLASH AT ATLANTIC CITY JULY 2

Hest ring engagements date back to
1907, when the Frenchman was
but a slip of a boy. Dempsey's first
official battles We're fought in 1915.
A contest with one Kid Hancock,
whom Dempsey knocked out in a
single round, is the first official
engagement credited to the con-
queror Of Jess Willard. Dempsey,
however, tells, with evident de-
light, of an earlier battle.
Dempsey himself was the pro-
moter, ticket-taker and princi-
pal on that boxing program, which
grew out of an argument with an
other youth at Montrose, Colo.
They were about to settle the diff
ficulty in the usual American style,
with fists, when Dempsey, showing
a certain business acumen that has
been noticeable in both him and
his manager in later days, suggest
ed that they hold the bout indoors,
and charge admission. A few days
later, they pitched q ring in the
town dance hall. Dempsey sold
and collected tickets at the door
until it was time to fight, They
split the $50 gate" and declared
it was "easy money"
That bout started Jack Demp-
sey in the profession which was to
make him subsequently the highest
paid athlete any sport has seen.
He fought twenty-seven battles
during 1915 and 1916, winning
eighteen by knockouts and five on
decisions. He fought three draws
and was defeated once, by Jack
Downey.

Wind Tore Hood
From Racing Car

Jean Chassasne, driver Of one Of
the two Pcugeot entries representing
France in the Indianapolis race on
Memorial Day, was the unlucky man
who was followed by Il jinx, being
eliminated from the running by one
Of the most peculiar accidents ever
recorded.
On the 150th mile, terrific wind
pressure tore the cars hood from its
fastenings. TO run that way is a Nio-
lation OF the rules. SO ChaSSagne was
notified that he would have to replace
the hood or withdraw. The nervy
Frenchman set out at touring speed
TO find the missing part. He and his
mechanic scanned tho grassy infeld
for complete circuit-but no hood
was to be found. A second circuit
was made with frequent stops so
that the grass might be searched
but the hood had vanished into thin
air.
With a smile of resignation, the
man who had Travelled all the way
from France to race, shrugged his
shoulders in true Gallo nonchalance
and drove a hoodless but sweetly
running car to the pits; utterly out
OF the running.

Watching Autoists at Bowdoinham

An automobile inspector has been
in town this week looking after any
owners who may be running their
cars in violation of the State law
and as a result has a number of cars
which he proposes to look after. One
party was brought before Trial JUS
tice Anies and paid a fine and costs
amounting to about $50, for driving
without license and lights. One other
party is reported to be in trouble for
operating car9without license. One
party was looked after for operating
without having his number plates on
the truck. The inspector put in quite
a portion OF the day Sunday at the
Denham corner where the fatal acct
dent occurred n week ago Sunday
and he did some very efficient work
in checking the speeding of the driv-
ers and those in the vicinity say
that the traffic conditions were the
best observed since the season began.
He says that he intends to keep
right on to the job and see that the
law is enforced Bowdoinham letter,

nous national waste. in an address
by Franklin II. Wentworth Of Boston

Taking as his subject The Red Per

of The National Fire Protection AS

about $f3s coo 900 for the remaining
light months 10 make up our annual
ash heap of a quarter of u billion
dollars, and there is little doubt that
American carelessness will accom-
ipfsh this shameful objective.
There are optimists in America
who state that VIC are reducing the
fire waste because this average figure
of S230,000,000 now represents inflated
values. There is little comfort in that
academic reflection. The present
housing situation is too desperate for
us to be SO complacent over it,
Every fire today is "a crime against
the whole people; a crime for which
we should not Withhold punishment.
| Every community today for it's own
preservation, should bring swift legal
reprsals against the person who las
a prcTentab}e fire.
IN Europe Il man who has a fire is
! looked upon as public offender. In
America he is looked upon as an I'M
fortunate. People still imagine that
the underwriters pay the loss; that
they pay 5000, 600 900 year out of their
surplus and capital stock--and re-
main solvent! The fire waste touch
IS the pocket of every man, woman
and child in the nation. Every stock
of goods is insured the insura nee is
added TO the cost of the goods; and
when we buy a hat. or shoe. or a
coat, we pay this insurance concealed
in the price of the goods.
THE attorneys general of half a
dozen states have given it as their
official opinion that under the Amer
