Dundee has double, or even .

any chance at the moment for national

FIGHTS THAT MADE HsToRY-5
Routinq Willard in -Four Rounds.
Dempsey Started 7-Year Reign
BY DILLON GRAHAM,

Associated Press Feature Service Writer.
When the giant Jess Willard fell in
sun-scorched ring at Toledo July l..
1919, there was born perhaps the most
popular fighter in the games history.
definitely one of the greatest punchers
and easily the biggest money-winner.
Jack Dempsey, burned black by
training camp exposure to the sun,
was lean, dynamic, terribly de-
structive, 187-pound savage as he de-
molished the massive Willard.
Willard, smiling and confident, land
ed the first two blows before Dempsey
tore into him. Dempsey drove a pow
erful right hook to Willard's side just
over the heart. Willard moved in to
jab lightly and to swing with q short
right, but Dempsey ducked away and
leaped in with a sledgehammer right
to the pit Of Willard's stomach.
Lands Telling Blow.
This brought Willard up standing
and Dempsey threw left, overland
punch that landed on Willard's right
eye. The eyebrow was gashed and the
eye and whole side Of Willard's face
was puffed out of shape. That blow
all but won the fight.
Sensing the kill. Dempsey moved
in with all the fury Of his devastating
attack, no longer trying to avoid Jess
punches, but swinging at the huge
target with both fists. He threw all
his power into crashing right. It
landed squarely on the chin and Will
lard fell with thud.
Jess arose at seven. bent over,
crouching. reeling back. Dempsey
tore into him and slugged him time
and again without a return. Down
went Willard. Again, again, again.

Golf Balls Better Than Euer.
Cost Less but Fe,u Producers
Make Profit, Arers Salesman,

his ball wasn't as long or as durable
as the others. But let me tell you this
The best golf ball Of today is so much
better than the best ball Of 1880 that
there isn't any comparison. It's longer,
it's tougher, it stands up better, and
all around it's the finest product we
ever have put out. And mean that
for all the men who make 'em.
You'll see lot Of cheap balls on
the market; cheap in price, that Is.
But they aren't cheap in quality. The
golf ball you buy for so cents today
Is much better ball than the 75-cent
ball of a half dozen years ago. And
as for length, they all are long. But
there's one point . lot Of people over
look. That's on the durability and
hard-hitting angle.
Conlin Gives Advice.
Every manufacturer puts out a
power ball, and another ball with q
little thicker cover and without quite
so much 'umph' in the winding. But
the power ball is poison to the aver
age golfer. He can't get the maximum
distance out Of 1t because he doesn't
hit hard enough. And because Of the
thin cover and the tight winding OF
the rubber thread If he tops the ball
he cuts it right through.
Its useless for anything but the
practice bag. For the average 90
shooter, who doesn't hit the ball hard
a thicker-ccvered ball Is far better
And he'll save himself q lot Of grief
and some money because he won't
cut 1t as much. But, human natur.
being what it Is, guess We can't sell
that idea. Your golfer Is q human
being. and when he sees Cooper OF
Thomson or Little or Snead or Guldahl
knock q golf ball 800 yards, he runs
to the pro shop and wants the same
kind Of ball they use.
He doesn't realize that those men
hit the ball very hard and very &C.
curately. and that he doesn't. But he
wants that ball just the same, even
II it costs him . lot Of dough. II YOU
top . thin-covered ball 1t will Gu,
right through, but If you top one Of
the tougher-covered balls it can take
it. But try and sell that idea to the
90-golfer who thinks he's anothe,
Jimmy Thomson.
Say, how about . good promotion

FREEDOM OF
SPEECH LOST

(Oroville Mercury -Register)
Cardinal InnitZer of Austria, who went
so far to appease the Nazis as to bring
down upon him severe criticism from
other high placed Catholics, was attack
ed by a mob, and by the Nazi press when
he became so indiscreet as to make this
statement:
There still are young people who are
not so easily tempted to listen to deceit
full catchwords and hypocrtical rhet-
oric"
Now, that statement mentions no
names, yet for some unexplained reason
the Nazis knew at once it was their catch
words and rhetoric that was meant
There was a great drive against Innitzer
during which his residence was wrecked
and one of his priests was thrown out of
a second story window with two broken
legs as result The cardinal himself
was cut by thrown stone.
That is the pass things come to when
freedom of speech is curtailed and op-
preston by its followers is winked at
by the government in power. 1t amounts
to mob rule, similar to what we ourselves
suffered when the sit-down strikers took
things over and stopped U. S. mails.
If we are wise we will oppose every
move in the direction of mob rule and
every effort to extend federal power into
the states. We will oppose the extremes
who would rob us in the end of freedom
of speech and other liberties to our pro-
lection from miSrule.

THE CRUCIAL ACCIDENT
PERIOD

(NogaleS Herald)
The automobile death and accident rate
has shown steady decline for a number
of months. But now the crucial test
period is at hand.
We are entering the most dangerous
driving months. Fall brings rains, to
be followed by the ice and SHOWS of Win
ter, all of which immeasurably increase
driving hazards. Equally important,
these seasons bring shorter days-and
the accident rate at night, is much high
er than in daylight.
The wise driver will prepare for this
dangerous period. And preparation
should take two forms. Put your car in
first-class condition, so far as brakes,
lights, tires and steering are concerned.
And put yourself in the proper mental
condition for safe driving. Never forget
that the human element is the respon-
sible factor in the great majority of
accidents. Before anyone can drive safe
ly, he must think safely. He must know
the hazards he faces, and be prepared
for them. This safety consciousness" is
the first and most vital essential of acci-
dent prevention.
Remember that chance taking isn't
clever. Any fool can push the throttle
tC the floorboards, pass on hills and
curves disregard adverse weather con-
ditions, and perform similar acts of
idiotic recklessness. Caution is the pro-
duct Of intelligence.
Drive safely all the time. And be espe-
cially careful in the Fall and Winter
seasons. Then the accident rate will con-
tinue to go down.
