Ex-Heavyweight
Champions Now
Ten in Number

F THE alumni chapter of ex-
L heavyweight champions OF
the world were assembled un-
der one top, ten members would
answer 'Here" to the roll call.
One or two of them would be
grizzly and doddering. Several
would be well off financially and
perhaps a couple might be
called wealthy. One would be
down and out. Three of them
would tell you they were still
active in this fighting game and
one would predict confidently
that he will be the next heavy
weight champion. sRrT
Never before in history, probably,
have there been SO many living ex-
heavyweight champions. Six Of
these ten former kings of pugilism
have won and lost their titles in the
last ten years.
Can you name these fighters?
Well, never mind, here they are:
James J. Jeffries, Jack johnson,
Jess Willard, Jack Dempsey, Gene
Tunney, Max Schmeling, Jack
Sharkey, Primo Camera, Max Baer
and Jim Braddock.

just about getting by financially
Jess Willard, first of the cropgyto
make size a championship qualifi-
cation, is, like JEFF, living in COM
Portable circumstances on the West
coast. Besides his size, Willard had
a good right hand to recommend
him, but it wasn't good enough the
day he met young Jack Dempsey.
Jack Dempsey, who inaugurated
the golden days Of million-dollar
purses, abetted by the late Tex
Richard and his manager, Jack
Kearns, is keeping himself active
and prosperous as the proprietor Of
. New York restaurant constantly
patronized by sports celebrities and
tourists. He occasionally goes into
the ring rs q referee. His conqueror,
Gene Tunney, last Of the great
heavyweights and the only one who
ever stayed retired after he had
scaled the heights, Is wealthy.

Second Raters Rule

When Tunney retired a crowd Of
second raters scrambled for the
crown. One of them, Jack Sharkey,
was unpredictable. At times he
looked great. At other times he
looked awful. But he collected
enough of the worlds goods in his
ring career to be financially indie
pendent. He was beaten by Max
Schmeling in a bout in 1880 which
was generally considered to have
resulted in the election of a sue
cessor to Gene Tunney and in turn
licked Schmeling in 1882. Now at the
age of thirty-two, Schmeling, con-
sidered wealthy in his native Ger
many, is tuning up for return en-
gagement with Champion Joe Lou
is, whom he knocked out in 1885.

Richard Montgomery High
Starts Many Activities

Richard Montgomery has initiated
many activities that have been
adopted by other schools in the coun-
ty. In 1927, this high school started
the "Rocket," yearbook which has
become popular publication in other
high schools.
Several years ago, the school intro
duced modern student government
system. Practically every other
school in the county has adopted this
idea, but Richard Montgomery is the
only one with this particular form
of administration.
Richard Montgomery ranks first in
starting a newspaper. This activity
is very popular with the students.
A safety council and safety
auto driving class have also been
organized which prove helpful to
future drivers.
The bank, the orchestra, and the
school court are activities which are
instructive and practical.
The patrol company and the host
ess committee have earned for the
school recognition through their we'll
regulated systems.
The "Tide" is the only school mag
azine in the county. Various schools
have asked concerning this activity,
and hope to eventually publish a
magazine of their own.

NEW YORK, March IA sustained
demand for copper abroad. with Rus
sia and Japan mentioned as conspic-

quiet situation in nonferrous metals
last week.
Price steadiness abroad was stabil-
izing factor in the domestic market,
but consumers here were slow to place
actual business.
Foreign buying, however, had
stimulating effect on domestic scrap
demand. Domestic refined stock
meanwhile has been increasing, de-
spite the recent curtailment, in which
producers have been participating to
only q small extent.
Lead held steady at 4.50-55 cents q

spotty and mostly for March delivery,

attend mostly to immediate require

market. with leaders falling back frac-
tions to more than 2 points.
While dealings were rather quiet
throughout, volume picked up a bit
from recent sessions. Transfers ap-
proximated 1000 shares.
Brokers found news, marketwise, no
more disheartening than in the past

occasional items more pleasing than
otherwise. but these only served as
buoying factors in isolated cases.
!. Some selling for March IS, income
tax payments was apparent. but the
fact was again stressed that "im-

sent.
Most potential buyers, at the same
time. were content to stand aside
pending disposition of tax revision
legislation on which Wall Street SEN
timent at the moment is none too
cheerful.

led the decline Notwithstanding an

The ticker tape came to a halt dur

had been looked for on the Electric
