thought all Valley people would
switch from the prize fight to more
important business.
But the fans OF the nation can
not stand the nature Of Something's
victory, and today barber shop and
lunch counter chatter Is mostly Of
the great fiasco at Yankee Stadium
last night.
Listening to II one hears a great
cry for Jack Dempsey to return 10
the ring and bring back the heavy
weight title to the land that has
nourished 1t for so long.
As a head fighter Jack Sharkey
ranks at the pinnacle Of the non
thinking type.
He rushed out 10 finish Dempsey
in the seventh round and woke up
with the crowd all gone. Last night
he had a fight won and either grew
careless. or just plain low down. and
today Germany owns the successor
TO Sullivan. Corbett. Fitszimmons.
Jeffries ct al.
Sharkey possesses the best pos
sibilities OF a fighter in the younger
-xAmerican generation of today, but
Ithere IS really none in the coming
set who can compare with the sec
ond raters of long ago.
Jack Dempsey. or Gene Tunney,
are about the only men who car
bring back ahe lost laurels and
Dempsey Is the nor popular Of the
two.
Now we have 10 wait about a year
to overcome Sharkey's foolishness.
Anew YORK and adjacent cities
almost hated Sharkey before
the bout. Today they probably
have nothing but venom o the
man who threw away a title, all but
won.

pockets Of any Of us who wins
a prize fight, except 70 those SO
foolish as to wager on one.
But what does mean much is that
10 date one railroad company has
shipped q total of 1850 cars Of
fruits and vegetables against 49,
155 cars last year.
Which means that with the cotton
crop coming there should be much
loose change In the hands Of the
people before long.
TO-DAY is Friday The Thirteenth.
So lookout-be careful. The
pagan ink may Get you. SO far
we must admit that nothing has
happened except that Brownsville
and the Valley got up and put on
the left shoe last. and had a few
cats 70 run across IN front Of their
ears as they went about their bust
ness. But business of throwing a
little salt, or splitting over left shout
ders. will overcome all that, and We
really have nothing to ear
II the Valley did not put on the
Ieft shoe last, it at least put on the
shoe that was left, just for argu-
ments sake.
