The first bout scheduled wns for
ak rounds between a pretty six
teen.year old girl and an older op-
ponent. They wore regular five
ounce gloves and the rounds were
full three minutes each. The fight.
ers had two girl seconds each. The
referee was q man.
The Americans present wer.
amazed at the boxing sltill and
the punching power displayed.
The young girl was outclassed
by her older opponent for the
ing from the mouth and noe~.
The Americans thought II was
a shame that the bout was con-
tinued, when Jack Kearns sei,t
Louie Meyer. who speaks Ger
man. to the young girl's cor
ner and told her to try . left
hand body punch.
When the last round started the
young girl staggered out Of her
corner, let fly according to instruc-
tions and knocked her opponent
cold. .
The second bout, which was
scheduled for ten rounds. only
went nine. A blonde girl, looking
like Harry Greb and boxing the
same way, stopped q heavier op-
ponent with body punch. which
seemed brand new stuff to them.
The girls OF both bouts slussed
like men. The thing was almost
incredible to the Americans. espe'
cially when they were told that
these were not the best girl boxers
in Berlin.
Dempsey thought that the
rounds were too long and the girls
insufficiently protected and de-
clared that the whole business was
repuEnant to him.
Dempsey's reception here seems
founded largely on curiosity. There

England and France. Most Of the
people hardly know what II II al

he goes about the streets, but those

Mr. Bahson analyses the case he
compares the business depression Co
a ease Of measles.
I'm the first stage the main prob
lcm Is to get the poison, which is the
seat Of the trouble, out Of the sys-
tenn. The patient will itch and fret,
hut he cannot get well until this Is
done. The seat Of the trouble is the
economic evils which developed dur
ind the preceding period of over
expansion. These depressions are
the reactions from the extravaganza.
reckless management, waste and
greed which were bred during the
periods Of so-called prosperity. The
first problem in every depression.
therefore. is 10 correct the evils
which caused IT, That is why all the
'boost-business campaigns attempt
ed during the past two years have
failed. They did not strike at the
cause Of the trouble
Nov. however, we have reached
the turning point IN the business
outlook. We have passed the halt
way mark in the depression period.
Experience tells as that by the time
this point Is reached the worst of
the evils which brought on the de-
preston have been corrected. Cur
rent fundamental statistics corrobor-
ate this view. A few Of these are I.
the sharp reduction in amount OF
