Immediately after he had been rubbed
down by Gus Wilson, his trainer, in
his dressing room after the fight,
Carpenter made this statement:

Every aspect of the fight pleased
Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, who
gave reporters to understand last night
at the Hotel Belmont that his man
could have put Carpenter out at any
moment, but chose to let the bout 90
on until the Frenchman had had a
chance to exhibit all his powers.
Kearns said that there was not a
chance of the attachment obtained in
the 100000 suit brought against
Dempsey by a motion picture concern
becoming effective. Dempsey's share
in the fight receipts had been paid by
Tex Richard ten days ago, he said, in

able to connect until well in the fifth
round, when Referee Mccoy, of Pater-
son. stopped the bout to save Matranga
from chances of serious injury. Just
as the referee took this action
Matrange''s handlers threw towel into
the ring. in token of defeat 1t was a
technical knockout. Herman had his
chin and left to the same spot.
Matranga was prevented from falling
only by the fact that he had been
Knocked silly into Herman's corner and
was held up by the ropes.
During the fourth round of this en-
gagement the police cleared the aisles
of several score who had crowded down
as closely as possible to the ringside.
Among those given the rush was John
(lke) Dorgan, Richards handy man.
Next appeared heavy bantams, Dick
Griffin, of Fort Worth, Texas, 121
pounds, and Betnny Coster, of New
York, a half-pound lighter. The sun
broke out in clear patch now and the
wooden saucer simply seethed and
sizZled.
Good Old Days Recalled
Griffn's style reminded US of the good
old days of two-handed fighters, and
he seemed to have Coster bufraloed
from the start. 1t looked very much
like an early triumph for Erin once
more, for in the second Griffin knocked
down Coster with pretty right hook
to the jaw. Coster took the full count
and got to his pins rather unsteadily,
but he rallied quickly and came back
strong in the next round.
Again in the fourth round Griffin
had Coster on the run from hard
right smash to the jaw, but Coster

From a Stat Correspondent

RINGSIDE, Jersey City.--No linger-
ing was permitted in the stage setting
for the Dempsey Carpenter battle, and
the preliminary entertainment was put
on shortly after noon. Just previous
to the first event some commercial air
plane, contrary to the wishes of the
Jersey police, had flown several times
over eae arena.
Two featherweights, Irish Johnny
Curtin, Of Jersey City, and Mickey
belmont, of Newark, inaugurated the
show. Each weighed 122 pounds. The
curtain raiser was full of action, and
in the opinion of the expert majority
Curtin deserved the verdict at the end
of the eighth round. No decisions are
tolerated in Jersey, of course.
Shortly after Tom Mix entered with
a trick Mexican hat Announcer Joe
HUMPHREYS. with the aid of a huge
electric amplifer, announced the sec
ond preliminary of eight rounds. This
brought together Packy O'Gatty, of
New York, and the veteran frankie

Burns, Of Jersey City. Burns has been
lighting since the championship days
OF James j. Corbett, who had promi-
nent place in the ringside press box.
Burns Too Fast for O'Gatty
Burns was far too clever for O'Gatty,
even though outweighed, 129ia TO 1876
pounds. Burns in the first three
rounds grabbed o'Gatty's face almost
at will and got in some damaging right
hand blows to the body, even il they
did not carry all his oldtime sting. As
early as the second round he had
O'Gatty's nose bleeding freely At in
fighting Burns laid all over his less ex-
perierced rival.
During the early rounds of the
Burns O'Gatty mill it began to haze up
again and in the sixth round a sput-
tering drizgle gave a wonderful view
to the ringside spectators of the great
est multitude that ever watched test
of the manly art. For almosy with thu
first spray of rain the multitude arose
as man to don raincoats or adjust
rough weather wraps and it was plainly
seen that practically every seat in the
huge octagon was populated.
But getting back to the Burns
O'Gatty mill. This was another vim
dication Of the prowess of the sons
better of the argument throughout,
though neither seemed badly damaged
at the end.
At 1920, as Joe HUMPHREYS was an
nouncing Joe Matranga, of New
Orleans, and Babe Herman, of Cali
fornia, for the third exhibition of eight
rouns, Governor Edwards, of New
Jersey, and his staff entered the arena.
Matranga Almost Knocked Out
Matranga, who weighed 1885 pounds
to Herman's barely 1874, barely escaped
Knockout in the first round. After
about two minutes Herman clipped his
man flush on the button with straight
right. The New Orleans boy dropped
but while his head was still buzzing
and befuddled, he foolishly jumped up
without taking a count. Till the bell
rang Matranga was a mark for Her
man, who clipped him almost at will
with both hands. But Matranga, game
as they come, refused to fall again, and
though he was hammered, reeling all
about the ring, he managed to hold or
to the end.
Herman thereafter lay back for g.
good right hand finisher, but was un-

cred so cleverly he was soon able to
gather his wits about him again
Referee George Erhardt stopped the
bout in the sixth round to save Coster
another technical knockout after
two minutes and fifteen seconds. Crit
FIN staggered Coster with right to
the jaw. AS Coster covered Griffin
whipped his right to the heart for n
clean Touchdown. Coster staggered to
his feet at the count Of nine only to be
hammered down again by shower of
blows to the head and body. For the
second time he got up at the count of
nine. and he was helpless when the
referee waved him to his corner.
Then came pair of heavyweights 49,
Gene Tunney, A. E. f. champion, and
Soldier Jones. Of Canada with Danny
Sullivan the third man in the ring.
Tunney weighed 1876 and Jones IT'S
pounds
The opening round was rather tame,
but in the second Tunney used q
straight left jab to good advantage
and connected with few damaging
right swings. The soldier, however
who was doing Mary Ann with all
the abandon of Frank Moran, plant
ed couple of wild lawmakers on
Tunney's general countenance.
Soldier Faces Defeat
Soldier Jones continued to ply his
wild haymakers through the second
third and fourth rounds, but found
mostly empty air. Tunney, meanwhile
seemed waiting for a good chance, as
if his hands were still bad. In the
fifth Tunney had the soldier on the
verge of a Knockout A right to the
jaw left the Canuck swaying about like
a rocking horse. Tunney hammered
stiff rights to the body and kidney;
and put all he had in rights to the
jaw. But the soldier simply refused t.
fall. straight left cut Jones's light
eye badly.
Referee Danny Sullivan stopped the
bout in the seventh round At the
time Tunney had Jones on the ropes
and was hammering him down with
lefts and rights. The tough Canuck
was clearly beaten, but might have
been able to last to the end of the
eighth round, as he was still strong
when the technical knockout was de.
clared against him.
Joe HUMPHREYS now announced that
the main bout would go on in ter
minutes, as scheduled, promptly at 8
o'clock

COUNTY BOARD IS
 IN FAVOR OF THE
 ADOPTED HIGHWAY
Route Through East Lake Huffman and Clay Already Designated By State
 Body as Desirable

Resolutions were adopted by the board ef revenue at it's meeting yes terday morning calling on the state highway commission to designate the route through East Lake, Huff man and Clay as the official county seat to county seat" high way between Birmingham and Ash villes the county seat of St.. Clair county.
 D. c. Bail. Thomas F. Huey and W. E. Copeland voted in favor of thls route. while Jerry Gwin voted no and MT. Gwin advocated the board con curing in tho recommendation of S. E. Batson. member of the state high way commission. that the route be changed via Trussville.
 Following the calling of this .aues- ton for discussion, Mir. Copeland made a motion that the resolution calling on the state highway com mission to designate the East lake, Huffman and Clay route as the ot- ficiai route be adopted. This motion was seconded by MT. Huey. It was urged by D. c. Ball, president of the board, that the commission be re- quested to send an engineer here to CO., operate with c. J. Rogers, county engineer, in determining which of the two proposed routes was the most di- rect and feasible.
 Contract Made.
 According to Mir. Copeland the board should advocate the Huffman route because the county had already contracted for construction of two miles on that road and last year the old board had voted for this route.
 MT. Gwin stated that the survey of the Trussyille route was made by the state highway commission from Ashville to Argo before the recent action of the state commission chang ng the official route from Huffman via of Trussville was recommended by MT. Batson and that he would back Batson in what ever recom- mendation he made as a representa- tive of Jefferson county on the state highway com mission. In his opinion the board should work in harmony with him. Any attempt to work against Batson was disclaimed by the other members of the board. Route Changed. The official route was changed re- gently by the state highway commits sion on recommendation of MT. Bat son, whose recommendation, it is stated, was concurred in by other engineers.
 It was pointed out that the board of revenue has no authority in the matter, the state highway commis- sion having the final say in desig- mating the routes. All the board can do is to recommend and the recom- mendations can either be accepted or rejected.

Much Damage to Crops Is Predicted If the Dry
 w e a | h CT Continues

Reports of the American Steel and Wire company agents agree that the greater par. of the country is suffer ing from the prolonged dry spell and must soon have rain or much dam age will be done. Corn is doing well. The cotton outlook is not improving.
 The report for this week says:
 "A large proportion of the coun- try is in need of rain. No serious condition has IS yet developed, but. unless good general rains are had within the next few days, the hay crop will be considerably shortened, as hay is not making the growth that it should. The dry condition is also unfavorable to oats.
 The most northwesterly of the grain growing states, namely Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota parts of Nebraska and portions O. Montana. have been favored with good rains in the form of showers spread over considerable area. These states are in good shape. The dryer districts are to be found in the more central and the south cen trally located states ranging from Michigan to the gulf and from Ohio on the east to Missouri on the west There is also a we'll defined dry area lin the New England states. while the Colorado district is suffering from the after effects of a deluging rain
 Corn is in good shape, while it ts growing slowly all reports indicate that the stands are good.
 The cotton outlook is not improv ling. Potato crop promises to be ar average one if sufficient rain is had at the proper time"

WOULD GIVE TATE
 THREE MEN, HELP
 PUT DOWN CRIME
Grand Jury, In Report, Pro- nounces Sheriff's Force h. adequate = Suggests
 Relief for Condition

Three additional men to work under the direction of Solicitor Joseph R. Tate in the work of de- tecting and suppressing crime in this county was the recommendation by the Jefferson county grand jury in it's final report, made to Judge H, P. Heflin in the criminal division of the circuit court yesterday after noon.
 This was suggested as the only way Of bettering the situation re- sulting in tho cut in the sheriff force which has made it inadequate to cope with tho present conditions existing in the county.
 The report is as follows:
 We, the grand jury impaneled by your honor on April II, 1921, for the April division of January term, 1921, desire to make final report of our work and labors.
 We have been in session 10 days, during which time we have docketed zS1 cases. having examined Ss5 wit nesses. We have found 268 true bills
  10 cases he passed for investi sation by the succeeding grand jury.
 Visit. InstitutioRs
 "A committee from our body visited the county almshouse, the Hfilman hospital, the juvenile court the coun : ty jail and the county farm. We find these institutions in good condi- ton, but would recommend that the nurses home. at the Iiilrnan hos pital, be enlarged to accommodate tho number of nurses now being given accommodations in the hos- pital. We would commend Judge w.. E. Murphy and his assistants for tho good work rsndered at the juvenile court.
 .we have investirated the sitsa- tie. ss to the sherffrs force In this county, and nnd that en account of the law which does net permit the expe nditure of the expectancy of the fees of his office. the sheriff's force has been cut to where the same is inadequate to cope with the sitaation as 1t exists in this county at the pres- ent time.
 |, We find that there is but one way that the situation can be bettered before the legislature will meet and we find that the only remedy avail 1 able would be for the strea4urer or Jefferson county to set aside out of the general fund the sum of 5000 per year as is provided by law for 1 the use of the solicitor in the sup pression of crime; and we hereby recommend that M ". Henry, county treasurer, appropriate $5,oo0 out of the general fund, and that the soiic- /, itor of the Tenth judicial circuit se- IIect and employ at least three men in the work of detecting and sup pressing of crime in Jefrerson county
