Round-the-World Trip
in 81 DAYS Possibility

PariS.-The dreams of q round-the-
world trip in thirty-one days are near
ing realization. Not only is a British
company planning a seventy four hour
airplane service between London and
Bombay, but the French government
has given permission to French air
mail company to organize twenty-four
hour flights between Paris and Blu
charest, thereby cutting three days
from the normal travel schedule.
The planes will carry sixteen pas
sengers, a cook and porter to make
up the beds before shutdown. Each
machine will have wireless telephone
to keep in touch with European broad
casting stations. Extension of the line
from Bucharest to Bombay is being
considered and may be established be-
fore the end of the year.
In this event, allowing two days to
catch a steamer on the Pacific. two
days to fly across the United States
and six days to cross the Atlantic, 1t
Will be possible to make the trip
around the world in less than half

To Be Hurled From Great

These new terrors of the air will

down, guided by solitary man sitting
protected within their hulls, ready to
strike hostile airship or bombing
planes.

Through these he will cut and rip
his way, and the great craft he has
rammed, stricken and put out of con-
troll, will reel earthward to destruc-

The writer then says the "air ram"

! City in 1918, and flattened him in the
| remarkably short time of 10 seconds.
| Dempsey's decisive victory over
Willard in Toledo, July 4, 1919, for
| the championship stands out as one
of the most severe beatings ever adj
ministered to a heavyweight title
/ holder. The first punch that Demp-
sey sunk into Wizards huge frame,
| a savage right just under the heart,
was the blow that started him to de-
feat. The former Kansas farmer,
beaten down with vicious punches to
the head, until both eyes were closed
and his face swollen to the size of a
toy balloon, survived three rounds
before his seconds tossed in a sponge
Dempsey's ability to punch Willard
into submission so decisive1y won him
not only the admiration and respect
of ring followers, but the experts ac-
claim as one of the greatest hitters
who ever held the heavyweight title.
The champion carries a knockout
smash in either hand; hits as hard
with his left as he does with his
right and always seems to be ready,
because of his peculiar swinging
from any angle.
Back of Dempsey's right is tremen-
dous power, but his left hook prob
ably is an almost equally effective
blow. 1t seldom travels more than
foot, but it carries the force of
falling skyscraper. Dempsey hooks
the punch from the shoulder with a
slight twist of his powerfully muscIed
forearm. He rarely swings a punch:
always hooks them across. 1t is not
uncommon to see the titleholder lead
with his right in an attempt to get
his opponent into position for a left
hook.
The champion is master of every
trick in the puglistic bag. One of
his favorites is to get his opponent
off balance while coming out of
cllnch, thus making him an easy tar
get for left hook. Dempsey ac-
composites this trick by hooking his
right gloved fist back of his foes
left elbow, with a quick jerk, twist
ing him around and off balance.
Since Dempsey won the title,
Tommy Gibbons of ST. Paul. the
champions opponent in a 15-round
battle at Shelby Mont, last July 4,
is the only man who ever succeeded
in staying the limit with him in a
decision match. Gibbons succeeded
chiefly because, in ring parlance, he |
" outsmarted the champion at times;
outboxed him in spots, and held on |
with such tenaciousness in the last |
three rounds that the referee was |
breaking them; rather, /
pulling the ST. Paul challenger out |
