HIS CHAMPIONSHIP
OUTCOME REGARDED AS MOST
SURPRISING IN PUGlLISTIC

Says kearns; Challenger
Win Three Rounds

Ring Side Shelby, Mont. - Jack
Dempsey's worlds heavyweight cham
pion was awarded a fifteen round de-
cision over Tommy Gibbons, st. Paul
challenger, in one OF the most sur
prising upsets in heavyweight match
in years. Gibbons was on his feet,
apparently very tired and holding on
desperately when the fifteen-round
battle ended.
The result was distinctly a surprise
as Dempsey was an overwhelming
tavorite in he meager betting to win
by knockout within six or seven
rounds. The game Gibbons astonish-
ed even his most ardent supporters by
carrying the fight to the hard hitting
ing in spots. Dempsey outslugged
Gibbons and landed the hardest
punch. When the battle ended, Glib
bons was tired and rapidly fading
from the cruel punishment Dempsey
inflicted around the body. The chal-
lenger hung on constantly in the
fifteenth round to avoid a knockout
punch.
A tabulation of newspaper experts
at the ringside gave Gibbons shade
in the fifth, eleventh and thirteenth
rounds while Dempsey was out in
the remaining twelve.

were caught between the planks,

most part causing the breaking and
injury Of legs. There were compare
lively few of the injured who suffer-

borne to the ground in twisted shapes
and Immediately the air was filled
with the shrieks of the victims.
There were possibly $4,000 persons

fore thousands and Immediately there
was a rush to aid. However, frantic
men and women in their endeavor to
if any of their relatives or
friends were among the injured, hin
iered rather than aided the work of
rescue. Several women were on the
verge Of Mysteries as they fought and
scratched their way through the mass

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Dun's
weekly Review Of Business said
today:
There IL still q conspicuous lack
Of uniformity. to reports from COM
mercial centers, but more difinite
indications Of enlarging business
are noted In some quarters.
Where actual gain in buying
has developed, az in some divisions
OF / the textile trade, prices are
firnaer. and the excess Of declines
in Dun's list Of wholesale quota
tons has narrowed appreciably
during recent weeks. Changes In
working hours are becoming q fac.
tort in the price movement In the
steel industry, tending to steady
some markets, and the rise in
prices of grain has been further
extended.
"Wliile unfavorable features,
such as the anthracite coal mining
and the political un-
settlement abroad, cause some hesi-
tation, fundamental domestic con-
ditions are considered sound and
confidence In good fall business
has not diminished. The slowing
down process that followed the re-
markably rapid expansion OF the
first quarter OF this year had q
wholesome bearing on the situa-
ton, and the absence OF any gem
eral trend now toward speculative
excuses IL reassuring."
