in front OF the Boston man. Demp-
sey turned sharply and began chat
ting with a friend in the first row Of
seats at the side Of the ring.
His body was inches away from
Sharkey, but the Boston boy didn't
exist as far as he was concerned
Without even q glance in his direc-
ton. Dempsey returned to his pranc-
ing in his corner.
Then they were called to the CEN
ter OF the ring for the referees in
structions. Here they shook hands
and Sharkey stared at Dempsey.
Dempsey grabbed Sharkey's hands
and although the Boston boy tried
to get the upper hand and shove
Dempsey back, Dempsey sent him
back about a foot and a half. The
ex-champion then laughed in Shark
ey's face and turned his back on
him.
They were asked to pose for pic
lures in fighting stance. AS they
faced each other, Dempsey shot his
left fist SO closely to Sharkey that
the Boston man pulled back and
glowered at Dempsey as II wonder
ing il the former champion had
! made a pass at him. Dempsey
laughed at him again.
All these actions worked or
Sharkey, without a doubt. the loca
man stated, but 1t was in the first
round that Dempsey won. He stated
that as the fight began, Sharkey hit
Dempsey with everything he had.
He shot four hard lefts to
Dempsey's face and then crossed
over a hard right flush to the jaw
These stopped Dempsey momentari-
ly, but Dempsey just shook his
head and bore in tearing away al
sharkey's vitals.
Right there and then, Bridget
said, Sharkey was beaten because
Dempsey sent over a hard right
that made Sharkey 60 back on his
heels with his hands thrown up and
then pounded away again at Shar'
keys body. 1t was only a matter OF
time then until Dempsey would
finish him.
Contrary to the opinion CLEANED
from many newspaper stories
Bridget described the fight as the
best heavyweight encounter he has
ever seen or hopes to see. 1t was
the fiercest fight imaginable and
hat it ended in the first round
Bridget said he would have had
his moneys worth.
In conclusion, he stated, at will
be long, long time before Sharkey
will be able to stand up against
anybody else with the same conf
dence with which he faced Dempsey
last night, because If ever q man
took a bad beating. Jack sharkey
took one. Dempsey might have lost
his speed, he might not have beer
in as good condition as was Shar-
key. but he sure can hit and when
he hits. he hurts"

PLANTS AND SEEDS
OF CHINA FOR u. S.
Specimens Acquired by DR..
Dorset and Son May
Boom Agriculture.

DIR. r. II. Dorset and his son, j.
H. Dorset. both of the Department
of Agriculture. have just returned
from China, where they have been
engaged in a botanical exploring ex-
petition since 1924.
They have brought back material
which, when it has been tested at eX-
pertinent stations in this country, may
prove of great value to American
agriculture. They spent eight months
collecting around Hardin. Manchuria.
and considerable time in Ceylon, Su-
matra and Java.
100 Kinds Soy Beans.
Among the material brought back
are about 100 varieties of the SOY
bean, one of the chief Chinese crops,
and valuable because of its ability TO
store nitrogen in the soil. They also
brought back several varieties of the
mung bean, which II may be possible
to introduce as a rotation crop.
About 400 varieties of wheat and
barley are included in the material.
The Dorsetts also brought back sew
eral varieties of the persmmon,
popular fruit crop around Picking, in
GLIDING one which Is described as
mot very puckery," and delicious as
a breakfast fruit.
The collection includes seeds of
hardy wild apricot. several Chinese
varieties of wild grapes. two varieties
of red currants and one black cur
rant, and an ornamental fruit bearing
shrub somewhat like the currant. the
edible wild honeysuckle, which bears
a small. purple berry.
In Manchuria DIR. Dorset found
Ave types of elms which he thinks
may be >suitable for the Northern
States. Included In these is the small
leaved dwarf elm. which, is used az a
hedge. sometimes trimmed very low
and sometimes growing to 10 or IL
feet. There are few suitable hedge
plants for the colder regions of the
United States. and he believes this
may prove available.
Wild Roses From Manchuria.
From Manchuria also he brought
several varieties of wild roses and
some lilies of the valley.
The vegetables introduced included
Chinese cabbage, large variety of
radishes and several varieties of gar
den beans and peas.
DR.. Dorset found the natives eager
to cooperate with the expedition, in
spite of the troubled conditions in
China
He will tell of his experiences next
Monday evening at a meeting of the
Takoma Park Horticultural Club.
These experiences include some
close contacts with native life. He
and his staff journeyed mostly on
foot. carrying their luggage In two
wheeled carts drawn by burros and
coolies. and slept in Chinese farm
houses and inns.
