Battle ToBe
Third Under
Same Rules;

New York, June 17.--The third
bout for the worlds heavyweight
championship under no decision
rules at limited number OF
rounds will be underway when
Jack Dempsey and Georges Car
pentier square off in the Jersey
City ring, July 2. The only pre-
yious title contests held under
similar conditions were the Will
lard-Moranf 10-round battle at
New York, March rs, 1915, and
the Willard-Dempsey contest at
Toledo. Ohio, July 4, 1919. The
first bout went the limit, Willard
gaining the popular verdict. At
Toledo, Dempsey knocked out his
ponerous opponent in the third of
the scheduled 12-round bout.
Modern ring history in the
heavyweight division is considered
to have begun when John L. Sulli-
van knocked out Paddy Ryan in
nine rounds at Mississippi City,
Miss, Feb. 7, 1882. Including that
contest and the one in which Mar
vim Hart defeated Jack Root to
gain the title relinquished by Jim
Jeffries, there have been "a cham
pionship bouts. The longest was
that in which John l.. Sullivan
knocked out Jake Kilrain in rs
rounds at Richburg, Miss, the
shortest that in which Tommy
Bnurns stopped Bill Squires in one
round at Colma Cal, July 4, 1907

championship contests, which is a
trifle under IS rounds, Dempsey

IL sessions. would seem likely te
go the prescribed route. The
length of the eullivan-Kilrain duel
however stretches this average and
examination of the records shows
that IL of the 23 battles have
stopped short of the 12-round
mark, while the most recent cham
pionship fight. in New YoEk last
December, ended with the knock
out of Bill Brennan by Dempsey in
the twelfth round.
Persons who wager on an Off
cial result in the Jersey City bout,
can win or lose only in two events,
knockout or a disqualification
on a foul. To make possible a
clean-cut decision, it has been sug-
gested that Promoter "Tex" Rick
ard, appoint three judges who
shall sit at the ringside and an
nounce a verdict after returning
to New York following the bout.

| son dependent on YOU, and the quickest
way TO get fond of person is TO begir
to help him or her
There is something in feeling that We
are playing Providence TO another that
coddles our vanity and makes us feel
a benefcent blow when we think of him
or her. More. the realization that some
one needs us appeals to us more than
anything else on earth.
If this is true Of us all, it is doubly
and trcbly true Of women II persists in
even the lowest Of the sex, and as long ss
there is shred of womanhood left in
| one, you can arouse this instructive de-
sire TO help those who need her and
| depend on her
1T IS this spirit that makes women
stick TO brute husbands who beat them,
and mistreat them, and drag them down
| into the depths Of poverty. If YOU have
ever tired to get such woman TO leave
a renegade husband You know that, nine
times out of ten, she will refuse, saying
But what would he do without me?
He needs me And that settles it. She
would have to be dead in her coffin be-
fore she would be deaf to that cry for
help from the helpless.
I'VE after wonder why women who arc
married to good, strong, upright men,
men who can stand on their own feet
turn qui tiers and renege their marriage
VOWS more often than the women who
have rotters and ne er-do-wells, and
philanderers and loafers for husbands
The reason is that the woman knows
that the strong man doesn't really mind
her, and that the weakling does.
''He dips into that inexhaustible
fountain of maternal pity that makes a
mother always love the black sheep
he needs her most
ct is universally conceded that no
other men are as good and kind to
women as are American men, and that
the American husband is the paragon
Of the world, yet for all of that America
holds the high divorce record.
II often think that the reason for this
is because American men ask too little
of their wives They monopolize the
blessedness of giving In the family They
do all the sacrificing, they do all the
suffering, and because they deny their
wives a share in the toll and sweat that
goes into the making of the hom the
woman never really feels that she is vital
part of it. Her life blood hasn't gone
into building it up, SO she is as careless
about breaking il up as we are about
the things that have not cost us much.
mo man makes a greater mistake
than when he tries to save his wife from
every hardship 1t is on the battlefield
that women, as we'll as men, find their
souls. Ii is the stress of circumstances
that calls out what is best and finest in a
woman. 1t is only the women who know
what it is to love something more than
they do their own ease and who find
JOY in sacrificing themselves for the
good Of another,who are really women.
