DEMPSEY LOSES
TITLE OF CHAMP
GENE TUNNEY, HUSKY MAR.
INE, BEATS JACK FROM
THE FIRST ROUND

Philadelphia, Sept. 23.-Gent
Tunney won the heavyweight
championship of the world in &
pouring rain here Thursday night
when he defeated Jack Dempsey
in a savage fight that went the
10-round limit.
The judges We're unanimous in
declaring the blonde ex-marine
the winner. Tunney came within
an ace of knocking Dempsey out
in the first round when he plant
ed a hard right to the jaw just
before the bell rang.
The champions knees sagged
and he went to his corner in dis
tress. Tunney fighting cautious
ly, outboxed Dempsey, retreating
before the champions crowding
attack, whipped vicious punches
to the body at close quarters and
nailed the champion with short
snappy left and right hooks at
long range.
Jack Weakens
Dempsey began to tire quickly
after the 7th round and as they
stepped out for the 10th, the
champion was a bloody spectacle
with his right eye cut and bleed
ing and his left eye closed.
The fight, with its record break
ing crowd of $4,000 spectators,
was staged in a downpour of
rain.
When Tunney was announced
as the winner, the defeated and
battered Dempsey walked over
and threw his arms around the
new champion, shaking his gloved
fist warmly.
'It's the same old story, the
best man won," Dempsey said, as
ne crawled out of the ring.
First Punch Counts
Dempsey did not appear to be
50 per cent of the ripping, tear
ng fighter he was when he de-
,eated Luis Angel Firpo in the
polo grounds three years ago.
That first punch, a savage right
o the peak of the chin, apparent
Y took all the fight out Of him.
He revealed flashes of his old
ime form, however, in spots, but
lis blows were wild and lacked
he usual sharpness of delivery.

POOR WEATHER FOR GOLF

The wet weather and unusual
cold and snow will probably cause
the golf tournament, dated for the
26th and 27th, to be called off.
With fair weather Friday and
Saturday the grounds might be
in playable condition, but the
soft roads and uncertainty of the
weather will discourage attend
ance of prospective visiting golf
ers.

MEIGHAN SCORES In
SMALL TOWN COMEDY

Every ambitious boy dreams OF
the time when he will go out into
the big world and return TO the
old home town, famous and rich.
Then the mean old crouch on the
corner, the stingy grocer who kept
too close an eye on his bananas.
the .catty school marm, the pat
ronizing wife of the towns "big
man" who objected to juvenile
sniffling-everybody will swell
with pride and Importance, and
II knew him when" will be the
towns slogan.
That is the fundamental theme
of Thomas Meighan's latest Para
mount comedy-romance, "Old
Home Week." which comes to the
Liberty, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. But George Ade, the
famous American humorist who
wrote the story, has given this
base ides an original twist, filled
it with comedy ingredients, added
some dramatic trimmings, a sur
prise climax and a delightful end
ing, and the result is picture
bubbling over with wholesome
humor, clean fun and homespun
pep.
AS Tom Clark, the native son
who ''makes good" right in his
own home town, Tommy Meighan
has role that suits him to the
proverbial "T."

Hoped the three times Arkansas cham

are becoming less surprising to the
critics after they have watched the

The San Antonio team is not as fast,
apparently, as some of the others, but
works steadily throughout and seems
to go Mt its best when the score is
close or the opposition leads. And at
the finish, when rivals begin to falter,
the Eagles are fresh and full of fight.

superintendent Of Breckenridge High

Eagle quintet is fighting such a de.

The Breckenridge student body has

BEARS Opening
SERIES WITH
DES MONIES
Western League Champions
Here for Three;
Cards Gone.

Hal Mccall and Tiny Owens, big
right-handers, were nominated by
Manager Mite Friday TO pitch for
the Bears against the Des Moines
Demons in the first game of series
to last through Sunday at League
Park. Schupe and Stokes may be
Manager Shane Collins choices for
the Western League champions, who
have been conditioning up the line
at New Braunfels. This is not Ferdie
Schupp, the old Giant. Ferdie being,
at latest reports, with the Kansas
City club.
The last of the st. Louis Cardinals
are gone and the Bears are left in
complete possession of the local base
ball training situation.
NEEDED THEM ALL.
The Cardinal makeshifts are in
Houston today for a three-game series
with the Bluffs. They didn't leave
anybody behind. Rogers Hornsby de-
cided he didn't want to part with big
Ed Clough, southpaw pitcher, whom
the Bears had announced in the win
ter as a prospective inhabitant OF
the Den.
The victory of the Card Yannigans
over the Bruins was a fine testimonial
to the efficacy of the extra-base knock.
Bill Ward and Gil Paulson yielded
but eight hits, yet the outfit wear
ing st. Louis uniforms scored six
times. The Bears got six hits off
Eddie Dyer and Clough, yet scored
but once.
The difference was that the enemy's
clouts measured longer. Five of the
eight were for extra bases, three dou-
bles and two triples. And every ex-
tra-base blow meant a pSn or more.
Little Gus Mancuso doubled twice,
batting across Selph. who also had
doubled. and coming home himself on
both occasions. Taylor tripled in the
fifth, scoring Toporcer, who had walk
ed. and romping across later on an
infield out. Toporcer tripled in the
seventh and a wild pitch did the
rest.
A Bear two-baser. off the bat OF
Golvin in the fourth, provided the
home teams one run. Phipps had
singled. Golvin's drive scooted to the
fence down the left field line. The
next two were rather easy to retire
the side.
Wirts tripled lengthily to right 70
open the Bears fifth butt after Paul
son lined out to the first-basemanr
Rabbit hit into a double play, Top
orcer throwing him out at first and
Connors relaying the ball to Mancuso
at the plate TO catch Wirts trying
to score.
