Corn lost 3-4 to 1 1-sc; and oats S4 to 75c pro visions gain 10 to soc.

DEMPSEY PUNCHES BAG
 BEFORE LARGE CROWD

Atlantic City. N. J.. June 7.-Jack Dempsey illustrated the power of his punches and his famous shift in his workout today. The champion gave the punching bag drubbing in addition to two rounds of shadow boxing, and driv- ing blows at the sixty pound stuffed bag for a round. He astonished the spec tators with his accuracy and power in hitting. For the first time he used his shift while punching the bag and the onlookers gasped as he ripped terrific left and right hooks into the heavy in Hated bag. The swinging target was caught after each blow and then Demp- sey would tear into 1t again, first swing ing for left hook and then a right. The bag was driven over the heads of the spectators twice
 Dempsey worked out for thirty-five minutes. He intends to resume boxing Saturday if his damakged eye Is sui ficiently healed. Crowded around the ring in the hangar back of the camp were two hundred spectators, half of them women, and some with babies in their arms. A grey haired grandmother, with an old-fashioned black poke bonnet perched on her head, sat on a box at the edge of the ring, alongside of her two daughters She was Mrs. Margaret Handel, of Philadelphia, and she evident ly had not read of the gash over the champions left eye as she made the trip from her home expressly to see Dempsey box.
 Mrs Handel never took her eyes off the sunburned Dempsey as he pranced around the ring flashing out at an imag- mary foe. and playing a tattoo on the heavy bag. Some one wanted to know if she was the champions mother. All amused look came into her kindly eyes and her face broke into a broad smile. Bless you, mo-" she said. "but I would be proud to have a strapping boy like that Isn't he wonderfuI?''
 Mother and Jack are the same na- tionalty," added the daughter.
 With the arrival of another dog to- day, Dempseys kennel was increased t ofour. The new dog is a prize winning Belgian police dog valued at $500. It vas the gift of a millionaire admirer from, Long Beach. N. J The champion al- ready had two Belgian police dogs In camp and a white bull pup. Dempsey plans 10 give the bull pup to Mayor Ba- der, who has taken a fancy to it
