FAIR HAIR ON THE DECREASE
Scientific Reason Alleged Is That
Blondes Are Less Resistant Than
Their Darker Brothers.

Scientists tell US that blonde hair is
dying out, the reason being that
blondes, being less resistant, die soon
er than brown-hared persons. The
cities, too, show a smaller proportion
Of light-haired and light-eyed persons
than the country. Variety of colors 10

have the largest proportion of brown
haired people, and the Danes th
smallest But the Danes make up fo:
il By having the largest percentage Of
Blondes. When the hair comes dowl
close on the forehead forming q peak,
that is a sign of a strong constitution
and a Iong-lved ancestry. The nan is
also credited with having a short
sharp temper, great honesty Of puI-
pose, excellent observation, and perse-
vcrance. Stiff derby ana opera hats
are responsible for much of the bald

cities The unyieldlng rims Of these
hats interfere with the circulation in
those veins which return the blood

Considers French Champion
Fastest Fighter in World
Says Dempsey is Not Invincible and Must Be
At Top Form to Retain His
Championship Today.

Dempsey ten rounds twice and held
his own. The battle at Benton
Harbor last year should not be
counted as Miske had been in
hospital nearly a year.
Willie Meehan has a decision
over Dempsey. Yet young Gibbons
dropped him in one round this
week. / quote these bouts to show
that Dempsey has no claim to being
invincible.
am a great believer in psychol-
ogy before men meet in the ring
and the gong sounds. The articles
of agreement for this contest were
signed in my office. There Carpen-
tier and Dempsey met for the hrst
time. Kearns proposed that he
should sign for Dempsey. but Car
pentier insisted on Dempsey sign
ing personally. He waited two
hours for Dempsey's arrival. 1t
was plain to me that the French
man simply had planned to have
a good look at his prospective op-
ponent before sailing back to
France
Dempsey arrived. Carpenter like
shot spranE to his feet, crossed
| to Dempsey and while he carelessly
felt Dempseys muscles slapped his
thighs. felt his calves and gave him
a complete lookover. Laughing
filled the air with admiring shouts
of ina agnifique," tremendous "su =
perb." Meantime Dempsey stood
speechless at the superb impudence
of the other man, and in fact he
did not open his mouth for five
minutes after.
Dempsey remembers that. Next
day they played eighteen holes of
| golf together. 10 seemed queer to
| fight followers, but l am told ysu
/ can study A man very well while
travelling after him on golf
course. l wonder if that is why
the willy Deschamps arranged that
golf game.
1t strikes me that putting Jour-
nee and Cans into the ring at
Brooklyn the other night was part
of the prearranged scheme. Moran
beat Journee in two rounds just
before leaving France and Journe
was beaten by another Frenchman
in a few rounds q week or so be-
fore Carpenter sailed over here
Trust Deschamps to have known a.
this and to have a purpose in send
! ing Journee to the slaughter.

That was enough to win, which
was hard on Johnson. Barney was
tipping them over with great speed
and struck out seven men.
Three Hits on MogridEe.
1t was one egg after another in
that final game, with neither pitcher
having much trouble. The first hit
of ,Mogridge was a double by
Johnny Walker in the second round.
The second was a bunt by Witt in
the third, which fooled Shanks by
hugging the foul line, and the third
was another two-sacker by Perkins
in the tenth.
George issued his first pass in the
tenth He was working smoothly at
all times and received great sup
port, especially from Shanks and
O'Rourke. Each of these chaps cut
off hits time and again. Miller and
Rice also came to time with excep-
tional catches. In eight of the
twelve innings Mogridge kept the
baes clear of hostile hoofs.
Hasty was touched up for a hit
in each of the first two frames and
Miller and Shanks punched a cou-
pie in the fifth. However. Bing was
picked of second and nothing came
of 1t all.
From the fifth until the ninth the
Griffs went hitless, Judge singing
in the ninth and succumbing to
Perkins wing IN an attempt to
steal. The decision was very un-
popular with the bugs, but Tommy
Connolly didn't seem to mind.
welch Robs O'Rourke.
The only thing that kept the
Griffs from winning in the eleventh
was II remarkable catch by Welch
of O'Rourke's long drive to center.
Charity was on second at the time,
as the result of a two-sacker. Welch
hoofed it back about fifty yards and
snagged the ball when it appeared
that he didn't have chance.
When Hasty walked Judge to
open the twelfth he spelled his
own doom. Harris pushed Joe along
with a bunt. After Rice had lifted
to Dugan. Smith slapped a hit into
short left. Tilly Walker ielded the
ball cleanly and made a fine peg
to the plate, which failed to catch
Judge by inches.

thinning Duel, 10, Allowing
But Three Hits.

Bob was pretty good. as any pitcher
has to be who refused to allow
run for eleven innings. But Mog-
ridge was far better.
The local southpaw allowed but
three hits, one a puny ount, ana
kept his head above water at all
times He was backed in sparkling
nd. at times, sensational style. Nc

hits, the blow to left by Earl Smith,

ing the beans.
Barney Falls In Opener.
Each team managed to bunch hits
in one inning of the first game, and
the visiting cluster was productive
of enough to win.
Moore refused to allow a hit or
to let a man see first until the
fourth frame. Judge opened that
round with a scratch hit to J. Walk
er at first, and Harris advanced him
a base with a rap to left, the hrst
clean hit for the Griffs. Each rum
ner advanced base while Rice was
being thrown out. Smith socked a
bingle to left. upon which Joe
counted.
Rice came within six feet of scor-
ing in the seventh when, with two
out, he walked: advanced on Smiths s
hit, and took third on Wits boot.
He made All attempt to steal home,
but changed his mind when he near
ed the plate and beat it back to
third safely when Perkins held his
throw too long. Miller's pop fly to
DYKES ended the hopes for another
marker.
johnson had allowed all of three
hits when the eighth tolled around.
In that frame the visitors began to
take a chance on the first ball, and
succeeded wonderfully we'll. Per-

NEW YORK, July l.-when Jack
Dempsey faces Georges Carpenter
in the ring at Jersey City tomorrow
he meets the fastest,
braipiest, trickiest hard-hitting
boxer he has ever met in his career.
l have seen Dempsey in action
many times. ] saw Carpenter box
Gunboat Smith in London in 1914.
In that bout l saw the young
Frenchman put the burly Smith
down for the count of nine with a
blow on the jaw. and Gunboat had
at that time faced Dempsey sue
cessfully for twenty rounds. The
knock down was scored when both
men were as fresh as when they
started, for little had been done in
the early rounds. l am frank to
state, however, that | think if the
bout could have been continued to
the limit Smith would have won.
Carpenter owes that victory to the
quick thinking Deschamps, who
claimed a foul when Smith deliber-
ately struck Carpenter when he
was on. his knees. He had slipped
there and had not been knocked
down. Carps ntier was in good
shape when the foul occurred, and
could have continued with an even
chance to win.
Georges puzzled the Gunboat that
night in London by his dazzling
speed and by his original methods
of sparring. He seemed to have no
set style, but changed his mode of
defense and attack almost every
moment. He seemed composite of
all the styles of boxing i had ever
seen. He is as quick on his feet as
Jim Corbett ever was and hits a
ton harder. He has not Corbett' S
style of sidestepping and feinting,
but even in his footwork and feint-
ing he has style entirely his own.
When he fought Levinsky last year
in Jersey City. he disclosed but lit
tie of his real ability. He will
prove a puzzle to Dempsey to-
morrow.

He is a wonderful specimen and has
remarkable record. But | saw
him box Brennan. II that contest
was an honest one. and l think it
was, then il should be evens on to-

By JACK NYE-

one of the grandest little alibis
for our American League pltcners
seems to be fading into notnlns-
ness.
Not many weeks ago a persplrlng
athlete. after being bumped for sew
eral home runs and a score or more
hits, could square himself thusly:
Well, whad'ya expect? You can't
do nothin' with this here lively ball.
They oughta cut 'em out. Am
right or am i wrong?
That was all very we'll in the re-
cent past. but it sounds sort OF
fishy these days. There has been
a general tendency on the part OF
the pitchers to tighten up, with
resultant damage to many thriving
batting marks.
This trend was very noticeable
yesterday in the two games played
between the Griffs and the Athlet-
les. The outstanding feature OF
each battle was the pitching. There
was quite a bit of fancy helding.
but no hitting to speak of.
Take a look at the scores. Wash
ington lost the opening game by a
score of to l and won the second
one in the twelfth inning by the
tighter count of l to o. That does
not look as if the lively ball cut
much ice when the pitching arms
are working well.
Four Pitchers in Form.
OF the four pitchers used during
the day there wasn't one who could
complain of the ball being too live
by. The Ieft-handed Roy Moore and
Walter johnson fought it out in
the first set-to, and each yielded
seven bingles. Barney lost because
he slipped in the eighth and al
lowed the Macks to bunch four of
their hits. Moore refused to wob-

WHAT A TONIC
DOES FOR YOU
AND WHY YOU NEED IT, IN so MANY
INSTANCES WHEN YOU ARE RUN
DOWN. NERVOUS OR HAVE HAD TO
ENDURE GREAT STRAIN OR WORRY
OF ANY KIND

A tonic is something which puts
tone, energy, strength and endur-
ance into you. 1t gives a push to
your heart, making it pump the
blood over your body more vigor-
ously; it makes your lungs expand
more fully and thereby take up
more strengthening oxygen from
the air you breathe; it makes your
kidneys work better and carry off
the poisons which would otherwise
accumulate in the body: 1t makes your d.
gestive apparatus perform its work better
and give your blood the material II needs
for feeding and sustaining your body; II
makes your brain act more vigorously and
enables you to think more accurately and
for long periods without fatigue. thus
bringing you greater success In whatever
business profession or undertaking you are
engaged.
When you are rundown. nervous, half
sick, down-h hearted and about ready to
give UP experience of many years has
shown that one of the best remedies to
good old organic iron. But be sure the iron
you take Is organic iron, the kind that Is
found in plants and not metallic iron which
people usually take Organic iron may be
had from your druggist under the name Of
Nuxated Iron. II often increases the
strength, energy and endurance of weak.
nervous, tired out folks in two weeks time.
Beware Of substitutes. Always leok for the
word "Nuxated' on every package and the
letters N. /. on every tablet. Sold by all
druggists.

dicates something in the back of
his mind.
The fact that he Is on sufferance
