ARREST TRUCK DRIVER
Charge Jos Dupuis With Not Sharing
 Road With Danieison Autoist

The first instance of the New Year of a truck driver being arrested for refusing to give up a share of Che road to enable a pleasure car driver to get by, was brought to the atten- tion of the city court Monday morning with the arraignment of Joseph ] Dupuis of New Bedford. operator of truck owned by the Interstate Trucking Company.
 Danielson Man Complains
 William Bernard of Danielson was the complainant in the case. He told the court that on the evening of Dec s he was driving along Grove street. toward nanielson, when he met the truck. He supposed the driver would turn his vehicle aside to allow Mir. Bernard a chance to get by without getting into the snow bank at the side of the road. The truck, however. did not budge. and Mir Bernard was forced to hastily turn into the deep snow. Mir. Bernard said he took the number of the big truck and reported the matter to the police.
 Driver Not This One
 Dupuis, the driver, said he was not the operator of the truck on the occa- sion complained about-that at the time he was in Norwich.
 Because of the conflicting evidence court continued the case until the 2eth and in the meantime Prosecuting At. torney Carpenter will do some check. ing up in the premises.

Slow Motion Pictures of Bout Show How Nearly Mighty Jack
 Came To Losing His Crown

tthe "man killer" Yet 1t was not a shove. To the average man 1t would have been swift and decisive enough, but to Dempsey--it may have been shove.
 rhe real showing came as Dempsey struggled back into the ring. He half crawled through the ropes and the newspapermen who sat with their heads just above the level of the the ring again and facing the wild bVll," Dempsey took Is straight blows before he was able to return one. Firpo sent one after another at the champion, who finally fell into a clinch and swung rights and lefts until the gong sounoed to end that memorable round.
 In the seven times that Dempsey knocked Firpo down in the first round, he used his famous left hook for the job five times. On the fourth knockdown he used a left uppercut to the body and on the fifth he de- livered q powerful right swing to the head. All the left hooks connected with Firpo's head.
 Slow pictures of the second round were not shown, but the regular speed films showed how the cham pion tore into his opponent from the start, sending him to the floor once and then again for the count. As the referee brought down his arm on the final count, the huge South American was trying to turn over. He was on his hands and knees, his head dropping and he was about to give up and topple to the floor again. Dempsey caught him as ten was called and helped him to his corner.

PANDORA LOSES TO YAARAB NINE BY COUNT OF IS TO 70
Local Crew ETatlc, While Lowry Pitches Yaks
 To Victory

The Yaarab temple of Atlanta won 8 ragged exhibition Of ball playing from the Zamora temple nine at Redwood field Saturday afternoon by a score of 15 to 10. Errors by hoth teams marred the game, while the free hitting of the Atlanta team at al times never left the outcome in doubt in the minds of the fans after the seventh inning.
 Manly, on the mound for the locals went up completely in the seventh and the Yaks ran five men around the circuit by various means, includ- 'rg hitting In this frame Sale, the Yaks' right fielder, hit a terrific drive to center field for a home run. Manly sought the showers in this trame.
 Lowry, who did the twirling for the visitors, pitched a fairly steady game until late in the day, when he got teIratic, but his teammates had piled up a large enough margin so that he had plenty of room for play.
 Davenport led the onslaugh fof the Yaks with four safties, including double, and four runs, out of four times up. The nearest contender for batting honors got two out of three.
 The Yaarabs proved to be fleet footed persons and stole bags right and left. It was a terrible crew of tase thieves and even after "Tooter" Brandon. he of the deaG-sure arm, got behind the bat for the locals late in the game. they did not cease their thieving. Ten hassocks went highwaymen.

FEDERAL AGENTS WATCH FOR FILMS

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Agents of the department of justice were under stood today to be watching Chicago aviation fields in the expectation that motion pictures of the Dempsey Firpo fight would be brought here for exhibition in violation of the federal statute against their inter state transportation. Government agents failed to seize the films Of the Dempsey Gibbons fight at Shelby until recently after the pictures had been brought here surreptitiously and were actually on exhibition: When the films were finally seized and James J. McGrath local pro motor, held to the federal grand jury, 1t was found that the pictures had been reproduced. The district attor- ney found authority nowhere to authorize seizure of the duplicates and the exhibition continued. Similar procedure Is expected to follow in the case of the Dempsey-Birpo bout pictures.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-(By the Associated Press )-The greatest bat tie in the history of pugilism was fought again tonight. That great first round of the bout at the Polo grounds last night was shown to newspaper men In slow motion pie lures, giving them B chance to re- observe every detail of the battle which, in actuality, went so fast and furiously that 1t was impossible to record everything that happened.
 The pictures showed that Jack Dempsey knocked Luis Angel Firpo down seven times in the first round Once the Argentine was flat on his back for the count of nine; another time he was knocked to a sitting po- sition and the other five times he was either on his hands and knees or his hands alone touched the can- vas On these knock downs Firpo didn't take a count. It was explain ed that he could not understand Eng fish and he was taking no chances of the referee reaching ten before he was on foot again. Dempsey fought like a tiger Tn that first round, taking every advantage of the South American opponent. Scnrcely had Firpo's hands left the canvas when the champion rushed in and pounded him with those terrific hooks that crashed again and again against Fir pos skull When Firpo was knocked flat on his back he lay near Q cor nor. The champion stepped over his prostrated form, waiting. As Fir DO started to rise after the sixth knockdown, Dempsey circlsd around him like a great cat. keeping behind his adversary. AS Firpo turned and tried to face Dempsey as he rose. Dempsey kept behind, then when he saw Firpos hands had left the floor ha "a sending him crashing to the canvas again.
 The pictures also showed the tre- mendous power that lay behind the right of Firpo's first blow that caused Dempsey's knees to sag. Fir DO hit the champion nine straight times with his right just before Dempsey went sprawling through the ropes. These rights came one af- ter another relentlessly powerful each driving the champion nearer and nearer to the edge of the ring. AS the eighth crashed Into Dempsey jaw his head dropped and his knees wobbled. From the pictures 1t ap- peared that the eighth blow had fin- ished Dempsey. Many of those who saw them believed that had Firpo let the champion go on to the can vas after that blow. he might not have got up. At least they said, it would have given the challenger an excellent opportunity to let loose with another smashing blow that might have written flnis to the strug- gle when Dempsey was on his feet again.
 But the ninth blow sent Dempsey into tho realm Of the spectators and 1t was agreed that even a news paper mans lap Is softer than the floor of a prize ring.
 There was much controversy after the fight as whether 1t was a push or puch that sent Dempsey with hls arms and legs flying in the air, out of the ring, It was hard to tell, even from the slow pictures, It was not a swift, decisive blow such as the others that had come in contact with

GAS CONSUMPTION HEAVY

Minnesota autoists used 162,361, )
700 gallons of gasoline during the last
twelve months, reports Hjalmar Mel
son, state oil inspector.
Consumption included about 49,
900, 900 gallons in Minneapolis and
rs, 100000 gallons in st. Paul, the
report adds, indirectly indicating
that the proposed gasoline tax for
highway purposes would compel car
owners in the large cities to continue
to pay toward the cost of the main
tenance rural highways.
The motor vehicle bill for gasoline
during the year was approximately
SAC, 100000, according to state
highway bulletin. That means that
if it is possible to drive a car ter
miles on the gasoline that propelled il
nine miles before the highway pro
gram was started, the saving on gaso
line alone is considerably more thar
the state highway tax on the ma
chine. With tire and car savings
comfort, convenience, and all the
other items considered, it is pointed
out, money used for good roads il
we'll invested.
