DEMPSEY PUTS
ON GOOD SHOW
WITH PALO0KAS

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 81. U.P)-
Ten thousand Seattle fight fans
who watched Jack Dempsey punch
three sparring partners dizzy with
l6 ounce gloves were convinced to-
day that whether or not the old
"Manassa Mauler" is still a good
fighter he is a good entertainer and
a powerful hitter.
Appearing in exhibition matches
here, Dempsey fought two full
rounds last night with Denny Len
hart of Portland, Ore, then boxed
a round each with Bob Frazer and
Red Tingley.
In all three matches, the former
champion held his punches except
occasionally when he forgot On
those occasions it was just too bad
for the sparring partners. Both
Lenhart and Tingley went down
for nine counts and Frazer was
groggy when his round ended.
1t was in the Tingley bout that
Dempsey put on his best show.
The referee had reached nine when
Jack picked Tingley up and stood
him on his feet. Then while Ting
ley blazed away at him with both
fists. Dempsey weaved and lodged
and didn't take a blow, managing
meanwhile to keep Tingley upright
and swinging.
Dempsey weighed 1913 and ap-
peared fresh when he left the ring.

League Scores
BY United Press

in front today after an II to vic

contests they have played this
year. In the first place the defeat
snapped the Yankees string Of
seven straight. What is more inn
portant it prevented them from
moving to a tie with the Washing
ton Senators fro second place in
the American League race.
The game marked the first time
the White Sox had whipped the
Yanks in Comiskey Park all season.
The White SoX did most of their
damage in the seventh when they
bombarded Dusty Rhodes and his
successor, Henry johnson, for five
hits and as many runs.
Roy Johnson. fleet Detroit Tiger
outtielder, gave his club a to 4
victory over Washington by slapping
cut home run in the eighth
inning.
Connie Mack threw two of his
aces, RUDE Walberg and George
Earnshaw, against the ST Louis
Browns but the world champion
Athletics lost. The Browns pound

haven't been able to put their full
strength on the field for more than
one fourth of their games; yet no
matter the combination manager
Mack sends out on the field, his
team continues to win with mono
tonous regularity.
This ability to win with one, two,
or three and sometimes four reg
ulars out of the lineup, cannot be
attributed solely to the magnificent
pitching of Grove and his boy
friends. For no pitcher, no matter
how great, is going to win If his
mates play shoddily.
Jimmy Foxx, slugging first base
man, was the first player to drop
out of the lineup. That was back
in April. Soon after that Mickey
Cochrane was injured. Then came
Jimmy Dykes. After Dykes the de-
LUCE. The little third baseman was
followed by McNair and Williams
utility infielders, Cramer, utility
outfielder, Mule Haas, Joe Boley
and Al Simmons.
Yet despite all these injuries, tbs
Athletics beat off a strong mid
season challenge by Washington
and kept moving out in front. Quite
a ball club, gentleman, quite a bal
club.

FRENCH CHAMBER
HOLDS PLANS FATE
Could Force Ministerial Crisis
as One Way to Delay Ap-
provaI of Debt Proposal.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The French Government Is apparent
ly in difficult position because OF
President Hoover's proposal for a debt
and reparation holiday.
From newer information received
from Paris by the State Department it
seems that the Presidents proposition
has met with something more than a
cool reception. There is general feel
ing in French political circles that
President Hoover intends to rush
France into a hasty decision on a mat
ter vitally important to her not only
from the financial, but from the politi-
cal point of view as well.
Well informed quarters in Washing
ton are Of the opinion that even If the
French cabinet wanted to accept the
Presidents proposal it cannot do so
light-heartedly, because 1t must reckon
with the somewhat incensed public
opinion and with the French Chamber
Of Deputies, which is still in session.
Chamber Holds Power.
Moreover, the French Chamber has
the power Of overtkrowing the admin
istration whenever 1t does not agree
with an action of the cabinet. Conse-
quentT, the French government must
handle the situation with greater care
than the President of the United States.
1t is explained that the French gov
ernment could accept President Hoover's
proposal without much difhculty, but
that 1t would have to refer the matter
to the Chamber because important ad-
juStmentS would have to be made in
the French budget to meet the loss re-
Sulting from the suspension Of payments
by Germany Even If the French govern
ment could postpone this issue for
while. any member of Parliament could
interpellate the government and II the
Chamber is opposed to the Hoover plan
the government which accepted it would
be overthrown. A ministerial crisis
which may last for a number of weeks
would jeoparGiZe the plan, which, ac-
cording to Secretary of State Henry L.
Stimson, in order to be really successful
must be adopted at once; otherwise the
forest fire" Of which he spoke last Sat-
urday would be dangerously spreading.
Harmony to Be Sought.
Opinion in responsible quarters here
Is the French government will do its
utmost to harmonic Frances vital in
terestS with the interests of the rest of
Europe and the United States. Others
closely following developments In France
feel that the French cabinet will not
play politics" with such an important
proposal and will not provoke a con-
venient ministerial crisis in order to
dodge the issue.
On account Of this uncertain state Of
affairs the situation in Paris Is being
watched with anxiety by the President
and the State Department.
ii Duce's Silence Surprises.
A certain amount of surprise has
been expressed in diplomatic circles
over Premier MuSsolinis silence. 1t
has been stated that II Duce, although
a dictator and generally believed to be
in a position to take decisions without
consulting anybody, does not feel justi-
fed to reply hastily. He intends first
to consult his minister of finance and
leading Italian bankers. Italys reply
is. however. expected hourly and, ac-
cording to indications from Rome, will
be satisfactory.

FRANCE TO OFFER COUNTER PLAN
TOHOOVER DEBT DELAY PROPOSAL:
u. S. WILL AVOID ANY COERCION
Alternate Plan Suggested
Unofficial Proposal Provides for German Payment
of $I25, 100000 to World Bank Which She
Could Borrow at Discretion of Bank Officials.

The solution suggested under this
formula provides for payment by Ger
many in the fiscal year of 1881 OF
500 ,0O0, 900 gold marks (about $l25,-
600, ,O0O) to the World Bank. France
would not draw against this, but would
leave 1t for the bank to lend to needy
European powers for period to be
determined.
Obviously, Germany would be the
principal borrower, and the deficit cre-
ated in the French budget would be
made up by an issue of short-term
treasury bonds. Thus no new taxes
would be imposed on the French people
to met the deficit caused by the re-
linquishment Of the payments.
