WINNING BLOW so FAST, FEW
SPECTATORS SAW 1T.
(By w. o. Geehan.)

The bout between Jack Dempsey and
Harry Wills will be fought this sum
mer. This was settled at. Madison
Square Garden last night when Harry
Wills, the colored giant, dropped Eid
weight. with sharp right upporcut to
the jaw.
The knockout punch travelled sue,
short distance and with such snake
like speed that few saw It. When Kid
Norfolk fell, striking the base Of his
little skull with terrifice force against
the padded mat, the majority Of the
watchers thought that it was frame.
up. This opinion seemed to prevail
when the crowd was leaving the Gar.
den.
The little colored man was pressing
against Wills straight body when the
punch came, Wills paved at him with
the left and lifted the right suddenly.
Down went Norfolk, his white eyeballs
rolling. He squirmed on the mat turn
ing over as they tollcd off the count. He
was on his knees daZed and bewildered
when the final ten was spoken.
The blow which caused 80 much
skepticism suggested Cans or Johnson
1t could not have travelled more than
eight inches but that distance was all
inch or two too far for Norfolk
In the first round 1t resembled con
trast between an triangular and dark
giraffe. The kid made some Siminn
leaps into the air and once landed light
ly on Wills jaw. On the second trial he
missed and rolled completely over.
fWHAT HAPPENED?" ASKS CROWD
Just 26 seconds after the bell rang
for the second round 1t was all over
and one Of the most bewildering mixed
crowds that ever sat in the Garden was
asking what happened nobody
J saw 1t. That snakey right was faster
than the eye. Jack Johnson himself
never made more bewildering finish.
The fact that colored boxers have
known to have made business deals in
the past will increase the skepticlsm
Wills ought to knock them out with
more deliberation.
Jack Dempsey did not arrive in time
to see the bout. It, Of course, means
business for the champion. Dempsey
has said that he would box Wills II the
, bout promised a house. With this cpl.
sode to start TO ballyhoo 1t seems as
thought 1t might fill Boyle's thirty
acres. So some time in July, there will
be another mixed bout for the heavy.
weight championship. Norfolk weighed
in at 176; Wills at 211 3.4.

By Associated Press

Paris, September 1.-The newly developed crisis in the reparations question became so acute tonight on receipt of Berlin advices that Ger many had categorically refused to give up tho 1oo.ooo.ooo gold marks demanded by Belgium as guaran- tee of tho six months note issue on account of separations, that the members of the commission decided the situation has gone beyond their control and requires the immediate attention of the allied premiers.
 Sir John Bradbury. British mem Der of the commission, Is proceeding to London to lay the matter before Premier Lloyd George. while M Poincare has assumed command of the French side of the negotiations. The Italian and Belgium premiers are handling the situation for their countries.
 Belgium's request for the deposit of gold not later than tomorrow. fn- stead of being merely diplomatic maneuver to permit further discus sion as at first indicated. now ap- pears to be a stern demand with the full backing of the French and Bell gian governments.
 After the meeting today of the French cabinet. it was stated au- thcritatively that official notifica- tior of Germany's refusal to deliver the gold will be followed by the lay ing of the matter before the repara- tions commissions by Belgium and a French demand for a declaration of Germany's voluntary default.
