ENGLAND DOESN'T

Retired Lightweight Champion.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-CUnited Press)
British fight fans aren't as en-
thusiastic about another Dempsey
Carpenter fght as reports from the
states seem 10 indicate.
From talk heard about all the
popular gathering places. the Lon
doners are anxious to see the worlds
champion but they do not want to
watch him work on Carpenter again.
The English figure that Carpenter
has fallen since his performance
against Cook was anything but con-
vincing.
As far as Dempsey and Carpenter
are concerned. It Is generally be-
lieved here that the issue was deci-
sively settled in Jersey City last July
and the movies. which were shown
generally over the islands convinced
those who were skeptical over the
cabled reports.
Any attempt to get the worlds
champion and the title holder OF
Europe together again in a London
ring would be regarded as favoring
too much OF the commercial and
high prices thatp would be necessary
for such a bill would not prove
popular.
Knowing Dempsey as 1 do I feel
sure that he could step right into
the place in the British pugilistic
heart that Carpenter recently vacat-
ed.
The English sport writers who saw
the big bout last July wrote so many
nice things about the champion that
their readers decided that he wasn't

Thirty years ago the average
American took eight railway
trips OF twenty-four miles each
year. Now he makes twelve
trips a year Of an average

These figures are announced by

tics compiled and issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commis-

In 1889, the death rate was

5,673,000. For the twelve trips
now taken annually by she aver
age person the death rate is one

accidents have caused the rate
to vary greatly by years. but
over the three decades the dan
