SOUTH AMERICA AIDED

BUENOS AIRES. June 6-The feel
Ing is growing that South American
republics, particularly those on the
east coast, because of the accessible
1ty of European travel. soon will feel
the impetus of industrial growth and
agricultural development, as d result
Of the currents of emigration now
closed by the United States.
While il is recognized that it will
require five or ten years before the
benefits are noticeable, American
traders see enormous markets open
ing when Europe's millions are once
adjusted on millions of acres in Ar
Sentina. Uruguay and Brazil and also
in the valleys of the west coast.
American manufacturers of agri-
cultural and road building machin-
cry and automobiles will be the first
TO feel the effects of increased de-
mandS, because the United States
dominates the South American mar
ket for these types of machinery. 1t
is recognized that the American
manufacturers and traders will meet
Stif competition coming into new
markets, but experience shows that
since American manufacturers and
exporters really went out for foreign
trade, they can hold their own, de-
spite higher manufacturing and labor
costs.

'JOCKO' CONLON
GIVES UP BALL
FOR BUSINESS

BOSTON, Feb. 19.--"Jocko" Con-
Ion, former Harvard baseball cap.
TAIN who last season was utility
infielder with the Boston National
League team, has notified the
Braves management that he would
give up professional baseball to
enter the advertising business either
in New York or Boston.
Conlon talked over his prospects
in professional baseball with Presi.
dent Mathewson, of the local club.
Rather than be sent to the minor
leagues for an indefinite stay, the
former Harvard shortstop has decid-
ed to give up the professional game.
ConlOn, when he signed with the
Braves, was thought sure to make
good. As a college star ne had
attracted scouts from practically
every major league ball club. Fac.
ing big league pitching. he failed
to make good. His fielding became
rocky at shortstop. where he had
played brilliantly for Harvard, and
he was shunted to second where
he did little better.

Champion Jack Dempsey IL one
hands Of steel. The heavyweight
titleholder, who hits equally had
with both fists, has never broken
either hand.
For a fighter who hits as hard
as Dempsey does and who has so
many knOckouts to his credit, the
preservation of his hands is little
short of remarkable.
Dempsey has developed his hands
until they are as hard as nails. He
does not spare them while training.
Like other boxers, he uses heavily
padded gloves against his sparring
partners, but when he practices
his punches against sand bag he
uses gloves which are even lighter
than those he uses In a champion.

1t is the constant practice Of
walloping q heavy, hard bag Of
sand that has insured the cham.
pion's hands against injury.
The case of Dempsey's hands is
unusual in ring history. Many of
the great fighters have broken
their hands on opponents, and Bob
Fitzsimmons smashed many of the
bones in his hands at different
times.
Benny Leonard, always a careful
puncher, has broken his hands.
Lew Tender and numerous other
fighters have suffered because Of
this injury which ID common
among fighters.
The injury to Harry Wills hands
indicates that the bones of his
hands. are brittle and cannot stand
the punching power he is able to
put behind them.
