oecial Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, July 19.-Dun's Review
reports that the insolvency record for
the South Atlantic section for the sec
ond quarter of this year is favorable as
regards the number of commercial fail
ures, but adverse in respect of the LA
bilities. Thus, defaults numbering 534
in the three months recently ended
were 40 below the total for the CORE
spending period of 1929, whereas the
Indebtedness increased to SI6,625. 1928,
from $11, 100,846 in the earlier year.
Only three of the nine States included
in this geographical group had larger
number of insolvences, these being
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, and
the increases were small. On the other
hand, decreases occurred in District of
Columbia, West Virginia, the two Caro-
linas, Georgia and Florida In contrast
to the numerical exhibit, Delaware and
District of Columbia alone reported re-
duced liabilities, while a particularly
sharp expansion was recorded in West
Virginia.

IS REASON,
SAYS JACK
BY JACK DEMPSEY
What's the matter with our wei

What's the matter with our well
terweigntS these days?
Why do the new champions
bow right out of the picture in
the first defense of a newly
gained crown?
Is. it because there's a jinx at
tached to the job, or do the boys
get burned out on the climb to
the top?
Joe Dundee grabbed the title
from Pete Latzo in 1927. He held
1t until 1929. But that was
mainly because Joe did most of
his fighting outside the class,
forcing foemen to come in over
weight.
- This plan made il possible
y for him to hold down the job
even though Joe was knocked
out by Young Jack ThOmp-
son in 1928 and blew two de-
cisiOns to AL MelI0 in Boston
early in 1929.
Jackie Fields took the crown
away from Dundee at Detroit IN
fg29--two rounds on foul. He
was in such brilliant fistic form
at the time that it was felt he
would endure as king of the clan
for many seasons. But Fields, bat
ting Thompson in his first de-
tense of the welter laurels, lost a
i5-round decision on May 9, 1890.
Thus Fields was leader for less
than 10 months in a class where
he was rated as peerless.
Thompson's triumph made
many believe that he would live
long and prosper as the lat boss.
Stealing bit of Dundee's stuff
Thompson went to the Pacific
Coast and engaged in a nontitle
int with Young Corbett, Sd. And
Thompson took a whale OF a beat
Ing, but kept the championship.
! On September 5, 1880, less than
four months after he climbed to
the top, Thompson was knocked
off. He met Tommy Freeman IN
cleveland in a battle with the
Kingdom at stake. Thompson was
o. stop.heavy boiling favorite, even
though the fight was in Tommy's
home town.
Thompson stepped along

rounds. Then he tired and

The Trojans took a commanding
position in the meet when they
qualified twelve men in the ten

seemed highly improbable that any
team-even Ohio State or Illinois
which qualified six men-could beat
out the west coast athletes for the
national title.

team honors in the preliminaries
was the performance Of Lee Sent

was high individual scorer. Sent

a good bet in both events today
with title breaking prospects bright.
