elongated Philadelphia first ascend.

fcrcd seven defeats from four play
crs. Three of these four, Rene La
Costc, Vincent Richards and Alfred
H. Chaplin, Jr.. are included in the

Jack Dempsey has never been
knocked out. Yes, the records show
Jim Flynn stopped him in a round in
1917, but that is merely record of
what apparently took place. What
actually took place was quite another
thing, and forms the one "Black

Dempsey laid down, as the boys
say, in that fight, taking a knockout
in the first round. Schcming pro-

Utahans who might want to back
Dempsey with their money.

was nothing more than il big lummox
then, possessed more Of an immc-

CHICAGO Dec. 16 (A.P )-Signs
Of an increasing movement Of corn
had a bearish affect on all grain
today, and price upturns in wheat
were more than wiped out. The
close for the entire cereal list was
heavy at the days lowest figures,
with corn 1 to 1 3-S cent off wheat
3-4 to IA net lower, oats half
to 1c down, and provisions varying
from ten to Is cents advance.
Not only were corn receipts
larger today but advices were at

favorable weather would bring a.
boutu further augmented arrivals.
Under such circumstances, new
buying power failed to develop in
the corn market. With profit
taking sales Of oats becoming of
greater volume than could be readi-
Iy absorbed, both corn and oats
showed a downward trend all
through the day. Meanwhile, gem
orally fair cold weather was looked
for just the sort to facilitate the
handling Of new corn.
Wheat finally gave way with corn
after averaging higher until to-
ward the last, slackness of export
demand for wheat from North AM
erica was a handicap to friends OF
higher prices. Notwithstanding
continued lack Of any pressure to
sell domestic cash wheat.
In some quarters, this absence
of pressure was more or less asso-
ciated with a statement from a
trade authority here that it is not

ton to provide for a stock dividend
of 40 per cent.
