WENTWORTH FIGHTS
GO OVER TO TUESDAY

One look at today's skies was
enough to convince Matchmaker
Heinie Miller that any further at
tempts to stage boxing matches at
Wentworth arena this week would be
useless.
Consequently he has announced
that the entire card postponed from
Tuesday will be presented on Tuesday
night of next week.
frankie Fink of Texas and Babe
Ruth of Philadelphia, rival feather
weights, are down for the main event
Of 12 rounds.
Others on the program are Jack
Turner, Willie Curry, Bud Nolan,
Charley Barber, Sylvan Bass, Paul

Jess was taking things. saw his sec
onds struggling with him as if trying
to keep Jess in his seat. They were.
He wanted to get up to go over and
speak to Record. Finally he waved
Ike O'Neill and Walter Monahan aside
and, reckoning to Record, called the
referee over to his corner.
II can't go on" he told Pecord, and
without another word, Pecord turned
and, crossing the ring, lifted Demp-
sey's right arm high into the air. 1t
was the end. Dempsey was the cham
pion of the world Jess had been in
his corner half minute when he
chucked it. He didn't leave his chair
and they didn't ring the bell for the
fourth round. The record books made
Dempsey win in the third round,
though in truth that round had been
completed. That is the rule. If a man
surrenders in between rounds, the
knockout is scored in the round just
finished.
Now come to a part of this story
Of Toledo that must be told. Ever
since that fight you've heard of horse
shoes and bolts and railroad spikes in
Dempsey's gloves. Regardless of my

primed for a great battle with Cor
bett-but he couldn't make the grade.
Corbett was in his prime when he
fought FftZ, yet Jim had been away
from the game for three years, and
this perfect athlete, who had the most
amazing defense of any fighter in the
game. failed to duck just once-and
FitZ nailed him.
Others Have Failed.
It's the same story with the others.
The ytried TO come back--but they
couldn't. They may have looked
great-and the experts may have in
sisted that they were ''as good as
ever" but when it came to the test
they failed; they went to pieces just
because the layOff had ruSted them
and ruined them as kings of their
realms.
Dempsey looks great. I'll admit
that. He shows up we'll in gym
nasium. He'll tell you he's in fine
fettle right now. But If you think
that Dempsey thinks along cNartlv
those lines. just think back over his
various expressions about himself.
He's always cheering for himself. He's
always telling everybody that he's in
greater form than he ever was. And
that, it seems to me. is just like a lit
lering to scare away something that
he fears but does not see.
Is Not the Same.
The champion in his primo never
claimed credit for being a distance
being--not being patient. He's all rip
and tear. throwing himself into the
fight in the first round and riskinS
exhaustion if he fails to drop his man.
That used to happen when he was at
the peak. when everything was
working with machine-like precision.
What's past has nothing to do with
the present. Dempsey may look
great; he may look like the old
Dempsey.
But when he climbs into the ring

when he's shot his bolt and when

but had to walk clear across the ring

to his corner at the end of the third I
thought he'd at least get up and take

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
FORD PHOTOS
fine GIFTS

Just five weeks more and Christ
mas will be here. Solving the gl1t
problem is a question that Is just as
keen this year as 1t has ever been
But Ford, the photographer, has a
solution that should appeal TO every
one. A picture of the family, or or
father, mother or the Riddles would
make an ideal Christmas present. IL
is a present that would be unique,
that has individuality and that VIII
be cherished by the recipient.
More and more are photographs
being given for Christmas presents.
Mr.. Ford of the Ford studio in Au-
gusta, has already had a large num-
Der of sittings for those who plan to
present pictures. Others have made
their appointments and still others
will Soon ask for sittings.
The main thing, however, is to act
promptly, says Mr. Ford. With the
big holiday only five weeks away, the
earlier the pictures are taken the
better will be the results and the more
satisfied the sitter win be with the
results obtained. Photography, these
days, is something more than just
pressing the bulb that lakes the

image on the sensitized plate is only
After the negative is taken, there
are the developing and finishing to
do, The finishing part is the real
test of the picture. A great variety
of papers are now provided for prints
SO that each picture may now be fin
! ished in a style best suited to the
subj ect in hand.
OF all the photographs that may be
given as presents, there are none
more appreciated than that of the
baby, whether it be a teeny- weeny
chap or one who is now getting
around like big boy or girl. Mr.
Ford has specialized in child photog
raphy. He likes children himself,
/ has a way with them that is de-
cidedly taking-no pun meant-and
has had fine success in the results.
| 1t is but natural, therefore, that there
will be many children's pictures
given for presents this year and that
! they will bear the imprint of Ford in
| the corner.

HAS JUMPED
into LIMELIGHT

The Bagley Motor Co, of Powhat
tan street. Augusta, has sprung very
much into the limelight of late.
This has come about through the
awarding of this concern the
agency for the WHY'S Overland line
of automobiles. Clifton r. Shaw,
who, for four years has handled the
WHY'S Overland line in this city, has
found that his business in Portland
demands so much time that he has
turned over his agency in this Sec
ton to the Bagley Motor co.
Now the Whippet, a product of
Overland, is to be found at the we'll
equipped garage and salesroom OPP
posite the Augusta house The
Whippet. as most everyone now
knows, is the first of the European
type automobile to be introduced in
to America. Because of its economy
of operation, its quick pickup, its
ease Of riding and its attractive ap-
pearance. it has come rapidly to the
fore. The Overland Whippet. the
Overland six and the WHY'S knight
line are all handled by the Bagley
Motor Co.
In addition to these, the Hupmo-
bile, both the six and til eight, are
sold here and have become very
popular with the people of this sec
ton. The new Hup eight is regard
ed as one of the finest cars in Amer
lea and has showed its worth to such
an extent that the eight cylinder
automobile is enjoying a popularity
it has never before attained.
In addition to the handling of
these automobiles. the Bagley Motor
Co, maintains thoroughly modern
service station "a hours in the day
Night washing of cars is a speciality
1t is such a convenience that many
owners in this section, after driving
home from long trip on the road,
have found it the proper thing to do
to have one of the Bagley men call
for the car, wash it and grease it
and have it ready the next morning.
No time has been lost and the car
is also kept in better condition. This
is just one of the many angles of
service provided by the Bagley
Motor Co.

AZ YEARS GOOD
BUSINESS RECORD

Forty two years in business IS the
record of the. f. O'Connor Co, OF
Augusta. 1t is record of which any
concern might well be proud These
AZ years have been years of steady
growth until now the business has
come to be one of the best known in
this section of the state.
The f. O'Connor Co is a dealer in
junk Junk in the general meaning
OF the word refers to old rags, iron,
paper and other cast off things. 1t
isn't everyone who can be Junk
dealer, and be successful at it. yet
the O'Connor company has been sue
cessful for more than two score
years.
Thousands and thousands of tons
every year are shipped from the
shops on Howard street to the mar
ket. Knowing the market and know
ing what is good junk and what is
bad junkcome pretty near to being
the backbone of this business. That
Mr.. O'Connor is familiar with these
needs is apparent Huge bales Of
aper. great masses of iron and rags
in bundles and bales are among the
goods shipped.
There must be fascination abou-
the business. too, for one never
knows just what will be found in the
apparently useless material that IS
dumped down TO be sorted before
shipping. The spice of adventure IS
lent to picking over the piles and the
discovery of something, apparently
worthless but really of some value
may cause "a genuine thrill. This does
not mean, of course. that any great
fortune has been found hidden away
IN a pocl2etbook or diamond I'M
earthed in some old papers by any
means. But just the same, there are
many interesting things discovered
ana Mr.. O'Connor can tell many tales
or the unusual in his business.

Icy pavements are beginning 10

Rines hill and Cony hill and the
other streets of Augusta are such IN
cold weather that there are many
motorists who do not care to drive
their cars under the conditions that
exist during the early freezes.
Taxicabs are popular at all times
but it Is on such occasions as nave
existed this week, when the early
ice has been on the street, that the
Yellow Cabs are called to homes on
both sides of the river. one hVe-
hundred, the number of the yellow
Cab Co., has been called pretty fire.
quently on mornings lately and the
ringing of this number will be more
persistent than ever as the weather
grows colder and owners put away
their cars for the winter.
1t is a singular fact that, In many
cities, business men never drive
their cars to their offices or stores.
The hazards of traffic, the wear ana
tear on the automobiles, are difficult
ties they dislike to face. AS re-
suit, they call taxi and, in the great
majority of cases, it is a Yellow Cab
only for the big metropolitan centers,
but also for the smaller communi-
ties.
This is an age of taXicabs. Every
where a taXicab may be found,
Yellow Cab will be seen. In many
sections of the world. the Yellow is
the only one to be operated. Hun
dreds of them are used in Japan and
China. There are YelloWs in nearly
every other country.
So great has the demand for them
become that there are distributing
points all over the United States and
Canada, and in many of the leading
countries of the world.
Because of its rugged nature, its
dependability in giving service. the
Yellow Cab is known and patronized
everywhere. Augusta people have
taken to it along with the rest OF
the world and genuine satisfaction
and service are being give as re-
suit.
