AND MRS. SAM SMITH, JUDGE RULES Mrs. Smith Becomes Hysterical in Court Room When Deci- sion Is Announced, But Later Goes With Husband to Hos-| pital and They Take Baby to) ‘Their Home Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 23.—()— All smiles and dimples, the month old baby girl that Mr. and Mrs. Sam Smith brought to their home last night, kicked vigorously at the sides of her crib today and waited pati- ently for her parents to give her a me. The doubt that clouded her iden- tity was dispelled legally by Com- mon Pleas Judge Carl V. Weygandt yesterday but it still existed in the minds of Mr. and Mrs, Sam Smith, when they went home with the in- fant in their care. Judge Weygandt dismissed the habeas corpus action by which the Smiths hoped to compel officials of Fairview park hospital to give them back thefr son “George.” The Judge's Ruling There was no evidence, he decided, to prove that baby “George” ever existed, and while the evidence that a daughter instead of a son was born to them was nct conclusive be- yond doubt, he believed it was strong enough to show that “Baby Smith, female,” probably was their child, There was.a jumble of affairs at the hospital and the tangle likely resulted frow. the mistaken idea of an attending rurse, who was under emotional stress at the time of the birth, tha: the baby was a boy, audge Weygandt ruled. “Baby Smith, female,” had only that one_name to distinguish her today. That as her hospital des- ignation from the time she was rn. The parents said they had no idea what they would call her or when they would have her chri:tened. Mrs. Smith Hysterical _ When Judge Weygand: decided that the infant girl was hers, Mrs. Smith became hysteriial and wept bitterly. Scores of fathers and mothers in the court room, wining tears from thcir eyes, offered their sympathy to the heart-broken woman, Some of them offered to aa He, baby. girl and care aon bee irs.

But we still are not satisfied that she is ours. We brought her home and we'll take care of her. We haven’t thought about naming her.” irs. Smith had very little to say. Her husband said they would try to give the baby the same love and af- lection they tendered their other four children. For Binerch and cei parity|J8sues Challenge cloudy. ht and Saturday.

But this time he came within a second of being knocked out and off the heavyweight thronc--dumped, dazed { and shaken to the floor in the sevs enth round for a count of nine that actually, in the opinion of ringside observers, took from 42 to 15 sec onds to reach Tunney’s hand was raised in trie umph, decisively earned by a stirs ring rally through the last three rounds that had Jempsey on the verge of a knockout himself in the fina] round, The champion was still a champion and fighting like one at the finish but it seemed to thou- sands that the gods vi fortue were with tim, that but for the “break” in the seventh round, and the inter- pretation of the Illinois boxing | commission’s rules, he might have been counted out and seen is mil- lion dollar crown pass back to its old wearer.

But Tunney’s handler’s declared their man was simply profiting by the rules, that he was ready to get up at “nine” whenever that count was reached; that, as a matter of fact, he started to arise at “five” but stayed down to get the benefit of the long count, on advice from his corner. Tunney Was Master So far as the rules ae oncerned, they were ubjected to various i terpretation but Boxing Comm sioner Paul Prehn at the ringside made it clear “1a. uo actual count was possible under them while Dempsey was not in a corner, well away from his fallen foe. However close a .all he had, whatever “break” hc benefited by in this seventh round, there was no question in the minds of experts that, otherwise, Tunney was master, He outpointed Dempsey for the first half of the fight and, after weathere ing the old warrior’s most furious bid for victory, outfought, outboxed and outgeneraled the challenger in the closing three rounds. Tunney met and vanquished a Dempsey that was a far different fighter, a more dangerous puncher and a more flaming spirit than the uncertain, floundering figure that was toppled from the fistic throne ear ago.
