Dempsey Earns about
$487 for Each Second

How would you like to be paid
at the rate of about $487 a sec
ond for hitching on pair of
eight-ounce gloves and punching
a fellow creature into ten sec
onds of helplessness?
1t was bit more than $4S7 for
each of GIG seconds of actual box
ing that Jack Dempsey received
for knocking out Georges Car
pentier.
Figuring the fight went one
minute and sixteen seconds into
the fourth round, which, added
to the full $40 seconds of the
first three rounds, makes a total
of 616 seconds, the champion
with his 100000 share of the
gate money earned over $487
for each tick of the clock.
Of course Uncle Sam will de-
duct taxes, but Dempsey at this
rate of income easily can afford
to pay the state as we'll as the
Federal take-out.

Speeds From Ship to Fight

Two newspaper correspondents, one
from Australia and the other from
Lyons, France, arrived here yesterday
forenoon on the French liner La Lor-
raine on their way TO cover the big
fight in Jersey City
Andre Fanger, who represented the
Echo of Lyons, had a rngside seat in
his hand and begged the customs of
fcials to hasten the examination Of his
small amount of baggage. This was
done and Fanger rushed from the pier
to the first taxicab, with instructions
to get him to the fight at the highest
speed and for the driver to name his
own price. Fanger probably got to the
ringsde about noon
The other writer who had a ticket
delivered to him on his arrival was
Alfred Rothman. an American, who
had just completed trip from the
Antlpodes, end was assigned to send
his story of the fight for an Austria

Dempsey's Bandages
Protested by DescE,amps

Little time was lost in discus
sion after the principals entered
the ring. The weights announced
were:
Dempsey, 1873 pounds; Carpen-
tier, 172 pounds.
Eight-ounce gloves, as required
by the New Jersey Boxing Com
mission, were used.
The handages were merely
white cotton, both Dempsey and
Carpenter winding their own
after Manager Deschamps, for the
challenger, had protested against
those used by the title-holder.
The bell was tested and found
to be ringing true, this precau-
ton probably having been taken
with the Willard-Dempsey con-
test at Toledo in mind. That bell
was defective and almost caused
a riot.

propeller must have recalled the bat

Dempsey it was just an aeroplane,
There never was picture Of greater
conlidence-or was it perfect control
of nerves than Carpenter displayed
as ne sat in his corner while the usual
announcements and introductions were
going on. Both men tapped their own
hands, and Georges "rolled his own"
with the utmost nonchalance. For all
the nervousness he showed he might
have been an elderly spinster knitting
pair of mittcns on the veranda
of a summer hotel. He never even
dropped stitch"
In his dressing room after the fight
Carpenter was rubbed down by Gus
Wilson, his faithful trainer, the cash
on his left cheek was repaired and his
nose, that had been split across the
bridge by one of Dempsey's crashing
blows, was restored almost 10 normal.
Only a slight swelling there and over
his left eyebrow and his broken right
thumb were tell-tale evidences Of
Georges's experience.
After Carpenter and his party left

York in a fast autom obile, they were
forced to halt for, few minutes at
Montgomery and Jersey avenues in
Jersey City. Thousands of those who
had witnessed the Frenchman's gallant
losing fight and other thousands re-
turning to their homes from their work
in Manhattan recognized Georges.
Instantly the car was surrounded
and men and women struggled with one
another in an effort to climb up on tho
running board and shake the hand of
the vanquished fighter. For fully five
the mounted police were unable
to clear Il way through the crowd to
rescue Carpenter. Shouts, shrieks and
continued bursts of wild cheering
greeted Georges as he started off again.
1t was remarkable tribute to beaten
man.
The early arrivals were kept in good
spirits by the Basle Brass Band, of
the Newark Velodrome. But the band
itself was in none too good spirits, for

tunes as the clans collected.

The whole system rejoices in this

HIT A HEAVY BLOW
The Christian Home Orphanage OF
Council Bluffs Is in Need
of Help.

The close times and increased pop
ulation have dealt the Christian Home
Orphanage of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
heavy blow. This institution cares for
an average of 2C0 little children daily.
1t also conducts a department for
aged, dependent women, and a de-
partment for deformed and crippled
children. The institution was founded
in 1882, and since that time has pro-
vided for an average of 500 homeless
people annually, The institution is
at present struggling under a heavy
debt, and with winter at hand, and
calls from the needy rapidly increas-
ing, efforts are being made to wipe
out the debt by Thanksgiving offer
ing.
This institution is the only home
that hundreds OF destitute children
and aged women know. The home is
supported entirely by voluntary con-
tributions of charitable people. II re-
ceives children from any part of the
country, employs no travelling agents
and is absolutely non-sectarian. This
great institution sorely needs your
help now. Send them a Thanksgiving
donation and help them pay off the
old debt and care for many hundreds
who will seek food and shelter there
this winter. Address, The Christian
Home Orphanage. Council Bluffs,
