"a sock back of the neck with the
fist and forearm. Dempsey gets his
opponent into position for the rabbit
punch with left hook TO the body.
This doubles up the victim and then
Dempsey steps to the right and let's
go back of the neck"
To our own knowledge Jack Demp-
sey pulled this same stunt against
Homer Smith at Racine one night
when he won In the first round. He
also repeated in his first battle with
Bill Brennan at Milwaukee In the Sec
ond round, when he pulled Bill for
ward and down, at the same time

Punch Not Needed.

Again, when Dempsey won the heavy

Dempsey never had chance to use
the rabbit blow.

probably because he is very high

UNUSUAL BASEBALL RULE

A rule seldom called on was
invoked in the game between
Giants and Braves on May 2.
Burns hit grounder to Barbara
and the Boston man booted 1t.
In his anger he threw his glove
at the ball and hit it. Umpire
Barry Mccormick gave Burns
three bases on the hit, which
had landed him at first base
originally. That scored Barnes
from first and gave the batter
triple on what should have been
an easy out.

The use of beaver in making hats
came into being about 1900, for Chau-
Ger mentions it. Flanders turned out
the first. Hatters' guilds began to ap.

were taught the art Of making felt
hats and decorating these. Nine cents

In the Sixteenth century the frst

hats, heretofore as widely decorated
