CHICKS AND BARONS SIDE BY SIDE N GRUELLING DUEL
 TO FINISH IN THIRD PLACE
Roy Moore Great As A Bat ter, But Tribesmen Find Him Not Such A Puzzle As A Pitcher

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 14-(Spe- cial )--Side by side the Chickasaws and the Barons are in third place. The right arm of Sergeant John Hol- linEsworth and a bundle of Chlck bats hoisted the tribe into tie Tor the position when they were the dominating factos in the tribes sec ond straight victory over the Baro- nial outfit, score 6 to ?, this after noon at Russwood park.
 Sergeant John pitched a masterful game after the first three innings, when the Barons got their two scores and three hits. He pitched perfect ball after the third, not Baron reaching first base.
 Roy Moore. Herculean left-hand- ed Baron, making his local debut as a pitcher, but who has brought woe to the tribe with his bat in former games here as an outfielder. looked more like an outfielder and batter than hs did as a pitcher against the rampant tribesmen. Moore was hit hard and opportunely from start to finish, the Chicks securing 2 solid blows including doubles by Lapan and Camp and a triple by Taylor, an ex-Baron.
 FieIded FlawIessIy.
 Both teams flelded flawlessly and every run made was earned. The third basing of Taylor was the bright spot of the game from defensive standpoint. Tommy did several aero batic stuns in throwing out rive Barons, most of them on wicked boundeJs.
 The Game started as if it was go- ing to be a free swinging and free scoring affair. The Barons scored in the second and the Chicks tied 1t in their half. The Barons took lead of one in the third and the Chlcks tied it in the fourth. The Chicks went into the lead with one in the sixth and got to Moore for four hits and three more scores in the eighth.
 With one out in the second, Clarke beat out a hit to third. J. Miller walked and Miner singled, scoring Clarke The Chicks tied 1t in the second. Taylor tripled with one out, but was caught at the plate on la- mottes' grounder to Hartford. La motte stole second and Wick scored him with a single.
 With two down in the third. Moore and Roberson walked and Clarke scored Moore with single. That was the last thing that resembled hit off Hollingsworth.
 Herman singled to start the run that would have won in the slXth, and Lapan followed with double, went to third on Taylor's sacrifice and scored when BrauSen knockeu down hot one and threw out La- motte at first
 Taylor was safe to start the eighth when he struck out on wild pitch, Lamotte sacrificed, Vick singled scoring Taylor and D. Miller sur prised by sacrificing. Hollingsworth who has been hitting the ball hard came through with a single. scoring Wick. Padgett dropped fly safely In center that Stewart made an efforl for.
 Camp doubled. scoring Hollings- worth, and Herman filed to left to end it. The Chicks and Barons will renew the series tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock

 Says Dempsey Is A Real Champion

 POLO GROUNDS. NEW YORK, Sept (Special.) )--It was a typical Rickard night. I don't think Tex ever picked a date for an outdoor boxing show which had to be post poned by rain. What a crowd it was, too, it seemed everyone in the world was on deck. It was treat to me to attend championship bout in the capacity of report- instead Of be- ing a boxing principal. However, l was just as anxious to make good as fight expert as I have ever been to make good in the ring. A fight takes on a far different aspect when you are a spectator instead of one of the men that perform with the padded mitts.
 Firpo was we'll received by the crowd as he edged his way to the ring from the aisle near the base ball press stand. He seemed to be sort of scared to me, but that l guess is only natural when you consider he is a stranger in a strange land. the stands waiting for Dempseys arrival. He came in the Same way as did Firpo. Jack was in white sweater and appeared confident.
 Jack Dempsey proved that ne IS a real champion at the Polo Grounds last night We always knew he was a great offensive fighter, but for the first time we learned that he is a game one. It is easy enough for | champion when everything is coming l his way, but to be on the verge of a knockout and then come back and win by a knockout proves man IS & real fighter. No one ever knew for sure before that Dempsey could take it. He has been handing out punish ment for so long that no one had any l idea what he would do if he were on | the receiving end.
 Well, Jack proved he is every ounce champion, taking Firpo' S most dangerous wallops and then coming along and winning like real one It was a good thing that Jack was trained to the minute. Had he been in no better shape than he was at Shelby with Tom Gibbons he never would have been able to stand up under FIrpo's sledge hammer wallops
 It was well for Jack that he had the world of speed that he possessed If he did not have the great speed te carry the fight to the South American

Freshmen Victorious In Annual Flag Rush

, The freshmen were victorious in the annual flag rush staged Friday afternoon on the campus at Birming- ham Southern college Although the sophomores succeeded in planting their flag at the top of one of the three 16-foot poles guarded by the freshmen, they were not able to Keep it up there the required 40 minutes. After 23 minutes of hot battling around the foot of the pole, the freshmen captain, "Hutch' Hooten' mounted the pole and brought down the flag. Four attempts were made later by the sophomores to plant the flag again at the top of one of the poles, and, although they battled un- til o'clock in the attempt they were never successful.
 The first attempt by the sopho- : mores was successful when Thomas Pettus went up the pole after a fierce but brief struggle at the foot of the pole and the flag was thrown to him.

spite the brefness of his stand against the champion, but his mex perience and the lack of an all-round fighting equipment to reinforce his powerful right. caused his downfall in the face of Dempsey's superior sreed and generalship.
 Fight By Rounds.
 Round One-Dempsey missed left and Firpo dug a right into his body, sending him to his knees. Dempsey floored Firpo with a left hook to the chin, but he was up after taking a count of one. When he got up Demp- soy sent him to the floor for the sec ond time with a hard right but he did not take a count. Dempsey knocked him for the third time. When he got up Jack chased him back to the corner, knocking him down again. After being floored for the fourth time, Firpo knocked Dempsey through the ropes and Dempsey came back groggy. Firpo pounded Demp- sey away with sledge hammer rights, bringing blood from his mouth. Firpo was also bleeding when he went to his corner.
 Round Two-Firpo swung a right to Dempsey's back. Dempsey hooked left to the chin. Jack drove both fists to the body and Firpo fell to the floor. Firpo, bleeding and groggy, staggered to the center of the ring. Dempsey Init him with a left hook to 1 the chin, and a right to the same spot, knocking him flat. He reeled over on his back, with blood trickling from his back, remaining in this po- sition while the referee swung the count over him. Dempsey, nervous. rushed over to help pick up his fallen foe, then trotted to his corner.
 PreIiminarfes.
 Close to 5O,OOO fans had damned their way into the Polo Grounds, while tens of thousands more swarm ing in at every entrance when the first preliminary to the Dempsey Firpo title match was called. Tho opening fisticuffs brought together Leo Brown of Australia and Dan Bright of England in a six-round setto.
 The first preliminary was over be- fore either fighter had had a chance to warm up, Dan Bright, English Brown of Australia, In 5S seconus ot the first round. A right swing to the jaw sent Brown sprawling for the count. Brown weighed POT and Bright POS.
 Charley Nashert, Jersey City light heavyweight. received the judges de- cision over Frank Koebele of Brook lyn, one of Firpo's sparring mates, in the second preliminary, four-round added attraction. Koebele, battered badly about the head and body, was dropped for counts in the first ana third rounds and was barely hang Ing on at the final bell. Both weighed 172.

Boxing for me in private, Firpo dis played some of the short, snappy punches that nearly spelled Demp- sey's Waterloo His right upper cut sent Dempsey out of the ring. Flrpo gave Dempsey the hardest fight he has ever had. He didn't last very long, it. is true, but while he was in there he made the champion realize he was up against it. Had Dempsey neglected his training or had the financial worries he had at Shelby he probably wold have had his title taken away from him. Flirpo is as game as a pebble. The 25 pounds or more he had on Jack counted in his favor.
 Tex Richards confidence in Luis wasn't misplaced. Had he retained the services of Jimmy DeForest he might have won the title as Jimmy advice would have been a big help Luis lost but he was not disgraced, the bout proved that Dempsey is not irvincible.. He was badly hurt in the first round. Blood came out of his nose and mouth.

district councils have been set

over 1000.
The most important work OF
the committees has consisted in
the settlement Of questions re-
1ating to wages, hours and work
ing conditions. In twenty-three
different industries the joint coun-
ellis have arrived at a settlement
of minimum or standard rates Of
wages. In seventeen industries

" HE Island Of Nantucket, once

n ing ships that secured the

summer resort, but it still pre-
serves Its quaint individuality, the
town having changed little in APP

To reach Nantucket you must
take a steamer at New Bedford,
Mass, or Woods Hole at the heel
Of Cape Cod, and steam out to sea
for about three hours, touching
Martha's Vineyard, another inter-

A few yachts decorate the

from which the wives watched for
their husbands' returning ships,
the old ship chambers shops. the
offices of shipping firms still wear

combine to push time back a CEN
