greatest proof Of the old saw that
YOU can't keep a good man down.
Within three years, it has been won,
lost and re-won by two different
fighters.
Kid Herman, who took the title
from Kid Williams in 1917, lost it
to Joe Lynch in Is rounds in 1920.
Six months later, the pair met again
in New York. Herman left the ring
a champ once more.
Here's where Lynch does his
Comeback" stuff. After Herman
regained the title from Lynch, he
lost to Johnny Buff in Is rounds at
New York, Sept. %, 1921. Lynch got
busy again, and made his comeback
by beating Buff. He's still holding
it, while Tremaine, Curtin and others
are being groomed to spill him.

Old Jack Britton, famous welter-
weight champion, was bereft of his
title by Ted Lewis, in a furious 20
round fight at Dayton, o., in 1917.
Two years later, the welters met up
again for the title. Britton regained
his laurels by a knockout. Stanley
Ketchell, greatest middIeweight of
his day was another Comeback" {"
Billy Papke knocked him out in IL
rounds at Vernon, Cal, Sept. T.,
1908. Just three months later he
came back by stopping Papke in the
same number of rounds at the old
Colma arena in California.
1t has been done. But this is no
dope to apply to Jess Wizards cher

out as the heavyweight champ So
far. no heavyweight has ever regain

They used to say you can't come
back once you lost =. pugilistic title.
And they always cited poor old Jim
Jeffries' debacle at Reno in 1910 as
proof.
But nowadays, comebacks are the
rule, rather than the exception. No
less than five world title holders
who were Jared out from under
their crowns have come back to re-
gain their titles.
Gene Tunney's recapture of the
world light heavyweight champions
ship in a 15-round bout with Harry
Ereb a few nights ago is the latest
notable example. Just nine months
after Greb took the title, Tunuey
made a comeback at Madison Square
Garden.

Three youngsters are doped to
give added punch to the Detroit

reduced gasoline quotations &C cents

Expectation that these price cuts
would be effective resulted in an ac-

were unusually large and forced the
stock below 80 against the close
Monday of 81. However. sales today
were ex the e. 10 cents dividend.

the reductions are prolonged. many

sales of Durant motors were made

Seeing a passenger vessel north
