Man Who Paid so For Nag. Found
 Reason Why


 SPRING VALLEY, N. Y. Sept. 1. Max Spector, who dominates the-io- cal junk market. discovered Satur- day that SC horse and wagon is not such bargain. maybe.
 A little proud of his good buy, Max was driving along the highway, sing ing a little impromptu song about the good quality of the junk he buys and sells, when an S.. P. c. A. officer informed him that his s6 horse was sick and should be put to bed.
 Nothing like It," retorted Max T only bought it yesterday, and it couldn't get sick already"
 But Max's logic did not convince Justice Hopper, who decided that Max could afford $26 fine.
 "Pay $25 fine on s6 horse? I guess not" Max replied, indig- nantly.-
 Pay it or go to jail" said the judge.
 @show me your jail" challenged Max.
 Spector, claiming that it was plainly a matter of principle, was junk business from the local jail for 25 days.
 dued conversation as the cabinet struggles with it's crisis. Former Premier Alexander Zaimis. meantime. has accepted the leadership of the national coalition party, with a pro- gram of internal concilation.
 To add to the anxiety of the cabi- net, the reports Saturay were not encouraging. Thirty one Creek casualties were announced following Italian occupation of Corfu. It was stated further that Italian planes dropped bombs on the island and that approximately fifteen Italian warships and ten transports would soon be al the island.
 It apears to be certain that what ever the outcome of the present crisis, the elections, campaigHing for which will begin immediately, are likely to change the complexion of the present cabinet.

DEMPSE'Y'S KNOCK
OUT OF RING ALL.
THAT SAVED HIM

Feels Prediction
INDICATED

Retired Undefeated Lightweight
Champion. Written for The u. p.

Retired Undefeated Lightweight
Champion. Written for The u. P.
NEW YORK, September 10
Right off the bat I might admit
that turned out to be wrong III
picking Luis Angel Firpo to win
the heavyweight championship from
Jacks Dempsey.
! was wrong however, by just one
punch and | came so close to be
ing right that | think my opinion
expressed before the fight was vim
dicated.
Dempsey was saved by what look
ed to have been one of the worst
breaks against him. If he had not
been knocked clear out of the ring
into the press box i'll the first round
am re,he would have been knock
ed out.
He was helpless on the ropes with
his, guard down, and his knees sag
gfng1 He stepped forward and Fir
po caught him coming in with a
lashing right to the jaw. The force
.of the blow carried him bodily be-
tween the ropes. Had he remained
in the ring Firpo surely would have
finished him. Dempsey had q chance
to revive while lie was being pushed
back into the ring and if he had
been forced to do his revlving IN
side the ropes, he would not'havc
survived.
Firpo Lacked Experience
1t gave me satisfaction to see my
judgment of Firpo proven. He is
a great fighter with q great heart
and it was only his lack of expert
encc that caused him to drop the
crown when he had it three times
right in his hands.
1t is my opinion that Firpo would
have won if he had behind him any
number of good American seconds
who could have advised him what to
do. They did not know what to tell
him and he has not had enough eX-
pericnce to get it by instinct.
Firpo acted like one of the old
timers that we veterans have All
known.
He fought all the time. lie came
up fighting instead Of covering up
: like a lot of the modern "cake
eaters do. He fought savagely at
the dictates of one Of the greatest
fighting hearts | have ever seen.
Once / believe, the referee allow
ed Dempsey TO remain TOO close TO
F'irpo. The rules require tightgi'
on Il knockdown to go to his corner
or at least five PAGES away from
his opponent but once Dempsey
cracked the South American before
he had a chance to yet himself in a
fighting position.
Dempsey proved himself a great
fighting machine and hc Il 20 dis
played a magnificent heart. do
not believe that Dempsey knew
what lie was doing after the first
punch of the Eight, right punch
that knocked him to ono knee. lie
fought t.lrougn the entire round on
instinct.
