BUYING WEDDING
AUTUMN CIF is
Sensible People Have Turned Over
A New Leaf and Are Now Civ
ing Something Useful.

The idea used to be that when you
went to buy wedding present you
studiouslv avoided anything useful.
OF course there was the chest OF
silver from the brides family if they
could afford it. If you were merely
friend or acquaintance you looked
around for something different So
YOU bought queer shaped scoops and
ladies and the poor bride never knew
lust exactly what they were for. Cut
glass was a safe selection. Brides us
ually acquired score OF berry
bowls" in those days and enough cut
glass celery dishes to stock hotel.
Now sensible people seem to have
turned over new leaf. The dark days
Of the war gave us an excuse to get
really useful gifts-blankets, bed
sDreads. dishes and even kitchen uten-
sils. We learned the folly OF getting
things that could never be OF any sort
OF service. And we have not forgotten
the good lesson. Wisely consider the
circumstances and taste OF the bride
to whom the gift is to be sent. ne
old reticence about asking members OF
her family Tor suggestions seems to
be lessening.

brides new house that you might give
her. For one, there is an old door

get it, or a good replica.
Then there is lantern for the. ROOF

The Fireplace.
The fireplace is another center about

cranes attached, on which tea kettles
may be swung over the flames at tea
tine. And there are the brass and
copper tea kettles to go with them,
high and low trivets to stand on the
hearth TO keep the kettle and the toast
warm. and toasting forks to hang by
the fireside. There are sets OF fire
side tongs, shovel and poker-an ex-
cellent one for $225 in brass. There
are hooks to be fastened in the brick

there are brass and copper coal scut-

Thompson has stopped a few in
the years of his campaigning,
which is not surprising when you
look over his record. Ten times
with the Brown Panther Of New
Orleans is something of cam
paign in itself.
He first fought Harry in 1915
up in the Bronx, then met him
again in Brooklyn at the old
Claremont Club. He boxed him
twice in Philadelphia and in At
lantic City. Thompson broke his
hand on old Sam Langford out in
Duluth, and fought Wills practi-
cally one-handed in San Francisco.
He had Harry down for the
count at Tulsa. They battled
eight rounds in St. Louis, and
Thompson fought him in other
places, winning one bout on foul.
They were the black Britton Lewis

Old Baseball
Men Say Pitching
Has Gone Back

All the old-time baseball men
argue that the standard of
pitching has fallen off wofully.
During that period of the game
when the moist balr and trick
pitching occupied all the at
tention of the boxmen curve
ball pitching was somewhat
neglected, according to the old
timers, and the present gener-
alton of pitchers has not been
schooled in the mysteries of

Thompson is in New York with
his manager, Solly Harris, well
known in >the boxing world as a
handler of fighters, arl for years
a familiar figure in the Roaring
Forties,' but lately resident Of
New Orleans. -
They returned from Michigan
City with the Dempsey party, and
Harris is now looking for matches
for Thompson. A New York pro-
moter brought them up from New
Orleans a few weeks ago, think
ing he had Thompson matched
against Wills, but the Brown Pan
ther preferred the lamentable
"Tut" Jackson.
Then Thompson joined the
Dempsey camp and l. served as
sparring partner to the champion
while he was training for Bren-
nan.

Aside from the political angle,
there never was a chance for the
fight to be staged in Gotham this
season. No promoter cares to
handle it on short notice with
out strictly holding the fighters
to a straight percentage agree
ment. There is no law to COM
pei Dempsey to fist unless his
demands are met, ari he is hold
ing out for a price that no pro-
moter can guarantee under the
present arbitrary commission
management.
The match is definitely off until
next summer and by that time
there may be many changes in the
boxing commission. 1t is essential
ly an outdoor fight, and nobody is
crazy enough to attempt to pro-
mote it in less than a month.
Certain agreements may be made
but no articles will be signed until
after election. That's as certain as
death and taxes.

1000 Home Runs In

The home-run style set by
Babe Ruth has reached a point
now where new home-run
mark will be reached this sea
son, and probably 1000 home
runs will be made in the two
major leagues before the sea-
son closes. The change from
the short swing to the long
swing has increased hitting.
The records Of all the, pitch
ers in the game today are
spotted with home runs.
In the old days the records
of such pitchers as Addie Joss
and Eddie Plank show that a
couple of home runs a season
off their deliveries was some
thing of an accomplishment.

Has Just One Style.

IEVT7ILLS has just one sty'e
w of fighting" Thompson
says. "He never varies
it. He grabs hold with his left
hand and slugs with his right. 1t
is impossible for him to fight any
other way.
"He never stands off and boxes
with a man. He wins his fights
by throwing his opponent around,
not by hitting them. He is a
strong fellow and can toss a
smaller opponent about like a
rubber ball, but he never tossed
me because I'm just as strong as
he is.
81 do not think Wills has much
knowledge of real boxing, and it
is a cinch he cannot stand body
punishment. Dempsey is one Of
the greatest body punchers I ever
saw. 1t is almost impossible to
keep him from hitting YOU in the
body once he gets in close.
"Wills' chin is none too stout,
either, and if you don't believe
it, look up his fights. He is
often on the floor. SI've had him
down for the count. The fellows
Wills has been meeting lately
were all so scared of him when
they got in the. ring that they
were licked before they started.

impossible Conditions.

noLITICAL observers are al
most unanimous in their crit
icism of the method adopted
TO make the fight an impossibility
this fall. The conditions imposed
by William Muldoon, chairman Of
the boxing commission, are so rig
orous as to throw the odium of the
collapse of the match off Dempsey
and his manager-where numer-
Gus attempts have been made TO
place it-and back on the commits
sion.
Muldoon might just as we'll have
insisted that some promoter wave
a fairy wand and produce an arena
seating 100000 persons. He knows
there Is no available arena that
will seat even 100000. His insis-
tence that at least 10000 tickets
must be sold for So each is another
ridiculous condition; also his ruling
that the promoter must post q for

commission.
There isn't a promoter in the
land who can afford to tie up that
sum Of money, In addition to pay
ing Dempsey and Wills approx
mately 100000. The "forfeit" Of
$3.50, 900 Is to guarantee proper
management Of the fight. Under
the arbitrary powers granted--or
assumed--by the commission. the
sum could be seized for any slight
