That Harry Wills knocked out Kid
Norfolk with a right upper cut to the
heart.
That Harry Wills didn't hit Kid
Norfolk at all.
That Kid Norfolk did what In in
elegantly known as flop"
Whatever the correct verdict may
be. the bout proved nothing beyond
the fact that Wills can beat Norfolk.
and that undoubtedly there will be a
black and white heavyweight cham
pionship fight between Wills and
Jack Dempsey within a matter Of
months.
The champions next opponent. q
matter about which the public has
concerned itself no little, was pro-
duced, ready made, Friday night.
No preliminary bally. hoo Il neces-
sary. On the strength of his record
and the impressive manner OF his
victory, Wills has established him
self as the best championship con-
tender In sight.
Even now they are talking Of Wills
as the mystery man with the lin
ing for the diversity of opinion as to
how Kid Norfolk met his untimely
end.
Few in the crowd actually saw the
punch, because II was shot during q
clinch, with Referee Mcfarland try
ing to pry the men apart. At the
time, Wills was employing his favor
lite tactics Of hooking his left under
his opponents shoulder and failing
him with his right.
The referee. paving feverishly at
the clutching left, had just about
loosened the grasp when Norfolk
was seen to forsake the perpendicu-
lar bysthe simple expedient of kick
ing high in the air with both feet and
landing on the back of his head.
He stirred ut the count Of eight,
started to get up at nine, and
finally reached one knee, but was
still on the floor when the final
stroke Of the official arm came
down.
The punch, as the writer saw II,
was a right upper cut that landed
high on the body. 1t seemed too low
to find the jaw, even though Mozart
land himself Is said to have decreed
that such was the case.
Be that as IL might, the blow
pushes Wills forward as the main
heavyweight contender. For just
what reason, 1t Is difficult to say. II
proved, as we said before, nothing
except that Wills can beat Norfolk,
although we are willing to grant that
he looks the part Of q real fighter;
but what boxer wouldn't look good

Dicky Pearce was the originator Of
the present hunt. And that was the
hit that transformed batting in his
day. II was not known as the bunt
at that time, and Dicky himself had
no idea that he was making baseball
history.
But he had the baseball instinct,
and that was that q player had to
get on first base before he became

A federal-aid road has just been COM

saved millions of dollars TO the COM
munity in which it is built. Recently
during high water in the Mississippi
word came TO Helena, Ark, that the
levee at Old Town, II miles away,
was about to break. The situation
was critical. A few hours delay and
thousands of acres Of rich farming
land would be flooded, and possibly
many lives lost Helena was the only
source of aid, and many. men with
tools and material were needed. Every
available motor vehicle was pressed
into service and over 600 men, prop
erly equipped for the work, We're In

to save the levee They arrived In

been necessary to make the trip over
the old road the levee could not have
been reached in time and that the
workers would have needed boats
rather than motor vehicles.

fabric, in a medium soft weave, has
been chosen for the development of a

Is given the name Bretalla.
