Would he and Cochran be interested

''Yes, sir" He would. He jumped

"Yes, yes Wen be interested.
There's more money in a bout Of that

RUTH GETS DECISION
IN BOUT WITH USSE

\ fashy left and good stomach
muscles carried Babe Ruth of Phila-
delphia to decision over Henry
JTsse of Brooklyn in the 12-round
headliner at kenilworth arena last
night.
The bout was an exhibition of fast
and clever boxing. Uses left and
right constantly smashed into Ruth's
BODY. Ring generalship and ability
to absorb punishment made Ruth
too difficult task for Usse, however,
and toward the end of the fight he
was bleeding from the mouth ana
was weary.
The II rounds ended in a toe-to-toe
slugging match that brought the fans
to their feet.
The most interesting fight that has
been placed on the Kenilworth card
for some time was the Jack Turner
Willie Curry bout. Turner made a
sensational comeback when he f1oored
his big Philadelphia opponent three
times and ended the fight with a
knockout in the fifth.
The slugging match of the evening
was presented by Willie Ptoomey,
known hereabouts as the Rosslyn
Thunderbolt, and Bud Nolan. PtOomey
was a substitute for Tex Stovall,
whose weight prevented him meeting
Nolan. The Rosslyn man proceeded
to unIoose his thunderbolt, a smash
ing right, with telling effect on No
Ian, who also carried a powerful wal
lop. 1t was a good whaling match
that pleased the crowd. Previously
the crowd had booed the Sylvan Bass
and Charley Barber bout. These two
scrappers slapped backs and shoulders
through a few rounds. Bass got the
decision.
Paul Healy of the Linworth Ath-
letic Club earned a decision over Fred
Engelert of the marines after four
furious rounds. No particular science
was displayed.
The show was opened by an exhi-
bition between two youngsters in the
75-pound class, Young Toby and Billy
Mitchell.

Mrs. Lambert Chambers and Miss

One United States Marine Band and

Yesterday he boxed Is rounds. and

and almost every punch he threw
WAS from n solid base. Willard had
no defense; tried none after he was
hit the first time. He just stood
riveted. or wallowed around a bit, and
all Dempsey had to do was stand In
front of him and hit him where he
willed Dempsey smashed him with
lefts and rights; he hit him on both
sides of the chin: he hit him in the
body. All this while Willard was help
less. Yet Dempsey didn't have enough
punching power to knock him un-
conscious.
If Dempsey couldn't, in two full
rounds of his most terrific punching,
drop n man who was completely help
less--well where does the 'murderous
punching" power come in?
Has to Land Often.
Dempsey had to maui and haul Car
pentier IN the clinches for three
rounds-rip him with a volley of short
blows in the clinChes-before he had
so weakened the Frenchman that he
could not stand up under d punch to
the chin. But weak as Carpenter
was when hit. Dempsey couldn't
smash him hard enough to keep him
down the first time. The F'renchman
got up and every one who saw that
fight remembers that he came back
TO his feet with a flying leap. as if
totally unhurt.
The "superhitter" crashed a new
volley of blows against the smaller,
Trailer man and finally dropped him
again. But Carpenter wasn't un-
conscious when counted out. He was
just weary and tired decidedly he
was too small for Dempsey-and
stayed on the floor rather than go on.
Dempsey hit Tom Gibbons about
500 blows-and couldn't even floor
him.
Live Time is Telling.
So there you are: Dempsey, the So
called 'superhitter," landed 100
punches on Willard, perhaps $50 on
CARPENTER. 500 on Gibbons, and he
didn't knock a single one of them to
