Riga, Latvia, July 3.-Recent arriv-
ais from Moscow declare that the world
little realizes how closely Soviet Rus
sa is pushing its friendship with the
Near East"
In Moscow now the Turkish lega-
ton occupies one Of the most sumpt-
uous Of the old palaces and the per-
sonnet, garbed in faultless European
clothes, present a strange contrast to
the poorly garbed Muscovites. The
Afghans and other Near Eastern dele

otherwise carry on with all the pomp

Besides this, Lenine has so accom-
modated himself to the psychology Of
the east that he now exchanges pres

sia, etc, as did the rulers OF - .ient
days.
a Moscow dispatch today reads
like a paragraph from what might
have been an ancient tablet of heiro-
glyphics describing the visit Of a
Babylonian envoy to King c. s
of Persia. 1t says: The repre-
sentative of the Soviet government
has made his first official visit 10
the Shah Of Persia, presenting 10 the
Shah on golden salver an album
with photographs of Soviet leaders
OF the whole Of Russia as 4 personal
present to the Shah from Lenine."
a man who recently arrived from
Moscow said: Few persons realize
what a close connection now exists
between Russia and its old enemy,
Turkey, and for that matter all OF
the Near East. Lenine is accomplish

ernnent could not do by playing up

Still Champion Pug


Atlantic City, July 2.-Jack Demp-
sey is still beavyweighf pugiIistic
champion OF the world.
A crushing right swing from the
fist of the champion shattered the IT,
tular aspirations of Georges CarrSn-
tier in the fourth round OF the So
called battle of the century" here
this afternoon. The pile-driving blow
landed flush upon the jaw Of the
Frcnchman, flooring him for the
second time in n trifle more than
minute of fighting in the final and
decisive round.
The Fatal Ten
Although he had staggered TO his
feet after the initial lnockdown he
was unable 10 survive the knockdown
and was motionless when Referee
Harry Ertle toIled off the fatal count
OF ten.
Although the knockout punch was
driven to Carpenters jaw, the way
to Dempsey's victory had been paved
by continual bombardment Of blows
which landed on every section of the
Frenchman's body. Each swing, jab
and uppercut scored TO the stomach,
ribs and sides, contributed TO the
slowing up process Of the speedy Car
pentier.
IN addition, n clubbing right which
- ded flush on the back OF Georges
neck In the third round, played an i'm
pOrtant part In his defeat. The
Frcnchman. folded over In an attempt
TO protect his body. left the back OF
his neck exposed and Dempsey, with
the fair target In front of him. drove
down terrific slam TO Carpenters
vertebra.
The Knock On The Neck
After the knockout. the Frenchman
stated In his dressing room that this
punch was the cause Of his pugIlistic
downfall.
lie said the punch stung his entire
physical and mental makeup and he
was thereafter unable To carry on any
effective work.
Regardless Of Just what blow caused
the vanQuishiug OF Carpenter. the
frenchman gave a remarkable exhi-
hition Of pugilistic skill and gameneSs
against a heyier and more Furnishing
opponent.
The favorite when he entered the
ring, judging from the amount OF
cheering he received. he left the
arena with even a greater amount OF
applause ringing IN his ears. A tri.

way verified and upheld record
which had preceded him regarding his

Ringside, Jersey City, July 2.-Jack
Dempsey remains the champion heavy
weight Of the world.
He knocked out Georges Carpenter,
the idol Of the French people, and
the challenger, in the beginning of the
fourth round.
The battle belonged to Dempsey
from the start, and he gave Carpen-
tier an unmerciful beating, taking in
the meanwhile a considerable punish
ment himself.
When the challenger vas knocked
out, after having come TO his feet
gamely at the count OF nine, in the
third inning, Dempsey tenderly picked
him up and looked pityingly into his
bruised and battered features.
He opened up with n cut TO the
Frenchman's eye and battered him Sc
viciously around the head, with vi
cious rights and leits until Carpen
tiers face was swollen and bleeding
Carpenter fought gamely back at the
champion but he was outclassed.
i dempsey stood over the fallen
French idol until the count was I'm
ished and then tenderly picked up the
bleeding and dazed Frenchman anc
dragged him TO his corner. Dempsey
gave Carpenter an unmercful beat
Ing -.
0n,c he was half knocked and hall
pushed through the ropes and most
of he time was going away from the
champion. Dempsey kept after him
driving him 10 the corner whenever
he had an opportunity.
Carpenter was cut out only for
few seconds. Manager Descamps APP
piled first aid as quickly as the daz'
.ed Freuchman dropped into his
char. Police Immediately climbed into

When Dempsey sent IN the winning
punch the swelling crowd that packed
