Teddy was on the downgrade, but still
In the ratings, and he added that
scalp. Now he plans to take Furr, who
Is q nationally known fighter, and
after that the path Of glory leads up
ward to good purses and better fights.
A nice setup, but can George do 1t?
The Yarosz fight wss touted as q real
test for Abrams, but he really didn't
show . whole lot there in getting q
split decision. Now he meets another
experienced fighter, one who has some
thing to fight for beside his share Of
the purse.
George, going the full distance in
most Of his previous fights, has been
unable to show anything that really
could be called knockout punch.
Fishel claims his charge now has a
sleep-carrying right. Abrams at times
has flashed q good left jab and also
q decent right. but he fails to get the
full weight Of his body behind the
latter.
Furr Fights Tough Ones.
The very fact that Furr has been
In the ring against such guys as Ross,
Garcia. Arcelli, Cavanna and Del
Genio shows that he is well thought
Of in the fight game. They may have
beat him, but they couldn't kayo him.
He dropped Del Genio for a count of
nine, and although the New York
fighter came back to win that one he
knew he had been hit. There is no
denying that Fur has the experience
on Abrams, but on the other hand he
has been losing a fair percentage of
his recent goes. In the last year and
a half he has dropped seven fights.
That's a lot, any way you add it up,
even though they were against good
men.
Abrams will have S or 6 pound
advantage tomorrow. Furr's best
fighting weight is slightly over $50,
and Abrams has signed articles to
come in at l57, give or take pound.
The glove question, which every
one thought was settled a week ago,
cropped up again yesterday. Dundee
claims that the mittens used here
are no better than eiderdown pillows,
and had everybody agreeing to use
S-ounce gloves with 4 ounces in the
wrist and the rest spread around
the fist and thumb. A thin padding
like that would be distinct advantage
to a puncher of Furr's type, but
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn has been
writing frantically all over the country
trying to find glove of those specifi-
cations only to learn that there amt
no such animal
So he has two sets of gloves. He is
going to get the Boxing Commission
to approve one of these and they will
be the ones used tomorrow. Dundee's
squawks to the contrary.

FIGHT fans still argue about that
long count" at Chicago. most
famous controversy in boxing history,
when Jack Dempsey come so close to
regaining the heavyweight champion
ship in his second bout with Gene
Tunney, September %, 1927.
Dempsey, who had lost the title
the previous year to Tunney in the
rain at Philadelphia, had beaten
Jack Sharkey on his comeback trail
in June and was in fine shape. He
pummeled Tunney's body for six
rounds, trying to get Genes guard
down.
Barry Late Starting Count.
Then in the seventh he tore into
Tunney like the old Dempsey of the
Willard -Carpenter-F -Firpo days, in his
bid to recapture the crown, something
no other fighter ever had done. He
switched from a body attack and
caught Tunney with a long overland
right to the head that flung Gene
against the ropes almost in a neutral
corner.

The Long Count: 1927.

Inc Long COunt: 1871.
Before Tunney could escape Demp-
sey was on him with a terrific bar
rage of blows. Seven times, before
Genes body fell to the floor, Dempsey
bopped him on the chin with free
swinging lefts and rights.
AS the frenzied fans screamed and
the knockdown timekeeper started
calling off the seconds, Referee Dave
Barry argued and pushed Dempsey
from his own corner, close to Tunney,
across the ring.
Barry returned to Tunney as the
knockdown timekeeper reached
count of S. But Barry started the
count all over again, as Tunney re-
cuperated and regained his faculties.
Gene finally got up at Barry's GA
seconds after Dempsey had f1oored
him. Tunney later said he could have
gotten up earlier. Barry explained he
had penalized Dempsey the time re-

looked slightly goggled-eyed. Noting
her astonishment, he added, Il am

the kennel owner, although all she said
was Il have some good puppies, but
nobody can guarantee that they will
double into all you say you want. I'll
show them to you, but am not sure
that I want to sell them all"
Demands Almost = Gift.
With the unerring accuracy of the
rank novice, the prospective purchaser
picked the best pup on the place, de-
panded to know whether she had
been inoculated and whether she was
housebroken, and then, after much
hemming and having, announced in
very Lord Bountiful manner, We'll,
I'll give you SIS for this one"
The strange part Of the whole per-
formance is that the prospect was
genuinely insulted when the kennel
owner laughed at him. In his opinion,
SIS was a very liberal offer for dog.
1t is to be hoped that somewhere this
man will pick up pup that he raises,
breeds, shows and raises a litter of
puppies from. 1t also is to be hoped,
although not expected, that he will
keep q record of what it costs to keep
the original pup, to how her, to breed
her and then to raise the pups to sales
age. If he should decide after that
to sell puppies, even without guaran-
tees of show and breeding honors, at

Queen Victoria's Family

Queen Victoria, christened Alex
andrina Victoria, the only child of
Edward, duke of Kent, fourth son
of King George III, and of Princess
Victoria Maria Louisa of Saxe-Co-
burg-Gotha, reigned from 1887 to
1901. She succeeded William w,
her paternal uncle. In 1877 Prin-
cess Charlotte, the daughter of the
prince regent, died, and her death
removed the only legitimate heir to
the throne. Three of her brothers
then married, the dukes of Clar-
ence, Kent and Cambridge. The
two children of the duke of Clar-
ence died in infancy; the duke of
Cambridge had son, but since the
duke of Kent was older than the
duke of Cambridge, at his death his
daughter Victoria became heir to
the throne. At st. James palace,
on February 10, 1910, Queen Vic
toria married her cousin, Prince AL
bert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the Sec
ond son of the then-reigning duke.
