German 'Humor Given Free
Scope on Incidents That 0C-
Cured During Fight.

BERLIN, Aug 30.-U n. ST.
While little attention was paid by the
| German press to the Dempsey Carpen-
tier championship bout at the time it
took place, many papers are now
devoting columns of news" and com
ment to the details as Cleaned from
American papers that arrived with the
latest steamers. German newspaper
humorists seem to have discovered a
bottomless fount of material for their
witticisms. Here is a typical exam
pie, the effusion of the Gerliner Volks-
zeitung's star" laugh producer:
Jersey City, jury 2, 1921.--It is
fabulous! Civilized America is fever
sh with the consciousness of ap-
preaching the most momentous mo-
ment in IT'S history since the discovery
of the continent G492). New York,
which but a few hours ago presented
the picture of migration of peoples,
was like a deserted city half an hour
before the beginning of the sensational
Dempsey Carpenter match. MY
chauffeur is nearly insane with excite
horn echoes through the deserted
streets. In the middle Of Broadway a
pack of dogs are developing familiar
relations. Half of America is at Jer-
sey City.
The Sardined Sexes
zone hundred and fifty thousand
gentlemen and ladies (note the Sc
10, 81,
humorist's conception) are sardined
beside and above one another. The
horizon is black with multitude that
got left
The first casualty lists are just be-
ing announced. AS far as can be aseer-
tanned at this time-ten minutes be-
fore the world-historic event-these
are, the figures:
Two hundred and nine persons
crushed. cut'and bruised; eighty-seven
persons shot; twenty-four have lost
their minds; 1000 have been robbed;
twenty-three have tainted.
Yes, Flying Hospitals!
Fourteen flying hospitals, equip
ped with ultra modern apparatus, are
displaying heroic activity. Eighteen
police planes and ninety private air
craft are c.rcling over the arena. The
clicking of cameras sounds like dis
tant machine gun firing. Twenty-Five
telegraph operators have been forced
to quit because of finger cramps, but
they are readily replaced. News comes
from the seashore that the sizzling
transatlantic cables have brought the
ocean water to boiling point.
Jersey City, S:01'p. m.-The boxers
have entered the ring. The public is
shrieking so loudly that two fliers al
ready have crashed to the ground as a
result of the reverberation.
Jersey City S05 p. m.-The bout
has started. Carpenter is dealing
punches to Dempsey, but only to the
head Dempsey answers with two up
percuts Carpenters nose bleeding is
made chronic by terrific blow from
Dempsey, which, incidentally, breaks
the bridge of the Frencnmans nose.
Carpenter staggers and hits in the
air. The public is indescribable.
Passions Are UnloOsed,''
Jersey City, sos p. m.-Second
round. Dempsey executes his famous
body blow, Carpenters face swells
visibly and grows red as beet. His
passions are unloosed, but he hits
only Dempsey's head. Two hundred
and fifty betting officers go to the
wall. The public is indescribable.
Army sanitary corps are moblized.
Jersey City, $40 p. m.--Third

by his red sweater, fumbles futuristic
movements in the air. Dempsey bur

abdomen and, incidentally, breaks
