An almost forgotten page of Amer- ican ring 'history was. recalled last month by the death in Brooklyn of James Dunne, one-time heavyweight champion*af America. It was just| half a century ago today, on May 15, 1865, that the fight fans of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Mary- land began to assemble in Pike coun- ty, Pa., to witness the bout scheduled for the following day, in which Dunne and Bill Davis were to do battle for the American heavyweight title. It ! [ was & /cosmopolitan crowd which as- | sembled 4t the ringside on the day set, and among the roughs and toughs Wwere many men of note, famous in business and the professions. The last gun of the Civil war had been fired, and the prize fight was of the nature of a celebration. The last previous battle foy 'the title was between Mike McCoole and Joe Coburn, at Charleston, Md., in 1863. After winning the honor, Co- burn retired from the ring for the time, and Bill Davis 6 claimed the championship. Davis was known as a Californian, having fought most of his earlier battles in the Golden state. James Dunne was a native of Ireland, but eame to America as a boy, and settled in Brooklyn, where he soon made a reputation as an ath- leté and a politicia Up to the time he challenged Blll}viu' rights to the American champiohship, Dunne was looked upon as an amateur in the boxing game, He had fought several good men, including a few profes- sionals, but he had not posed as a | ‘professional bruiser. “Davis was a favorite with the ma- j events are i Eler recently Jority of thé sporting mien who were at the ringside on the aixteenth of u-y half a century ago. There Were .a' few who favored thé Brooklyn Itbhmu.n however, and con-ldor&blo Was ‘a terrific fists, and it was not until forty-three rounds, lasting one hour and six min- utes, had been fought, that Dunne proved his mastery. Although by his victory Dunne be- | came the recognized champion * of American fighters, he had no ambition to make pugilism a profession, find- ing politics a more congenial field, and i Soon announced his retiremient from | the ring. He continued to be inter-/ ested in the game, however, and dur- ing the latter part of his life was a manager of boxers,: He was twenty- | three when he became champion, and i ‘Wwas even then prominent in the dem- ocratic political organization of | Brooklyn. In 1870 he was chosén leader of the sixth ward democracy. During the ' Coler. administration in Brooklyn he was superintendent of the sewer system. For'a time he de- serted the democratic party to align himself with Hearst’s Independent league, but returned to. the. demo- cratic fold when ‘Gaynor ran for mayor.. At the time of his death Dunne was seventy-three years old, and he was hal¢ and hearty almost to the last. Although boxing was his favorite Sport, hé was also & great devotee of nandball, and was at ome time the world’s amateur champion'at that game. He was the founder of the Brooklyn Haridball club, and when he Wwas past seventy he could beat many Young men at handball. Bill Davis again claimede the Amer- ican championship when Dunne re- tired, but in 1866 he was defeated by the giant Irishman, Mike McCooly, in a' thirty-four round battle fought near St. Louis. When McCoole r®- linquished the title, Davis claimed, it a third time, but in 1869 he was whipped in a battle at.St. Louis by Tom Allen; an. Englishman, who then became champion of America. Allen was defeated by Jem Macé and Joe Goss, both of English birth, and the latter lost the American title to Paddy Ryan, a native of Tipperary. It was not until Sullivan whipped Ryan in 1882 that Ameérican again had a native-born champion of the heavy- weights. STATE 1. A. .

FORECASTS ERA OF PROSPERITY War Scarc a Consideralion, bur Underions i Strong. (Special to the Herald.! New York, May 15,—Though un- séttled on Friday, the stock market continued strong throughout the first portion of the week, présumably upen the hope that this country would not be involved to the extent ‘of actual ‘hostilities with Germany. President Wilson’s calm but firm policy had an assuring effect, and. the country, though deeply stirred, refused to be- ceme excited. Nevertheless, there is no concealing the fact that the coum- try is facing a grave crisis, and no one can tell the outcome of the pres- ént controversy. ‘A peaceful settle- ment, it is to be hoped, will be réached—and it is devoutly wished that it will. The effect of war upon the United States will be less serious than upon any other nation. We can at present probably do but little harm to Germany and she can certainly do still less to us, Some further @e- rangement of international trade and finance may follow, but nothing like the blow which fell so unexpectedly last July. 1In fact, the United States is exceedingly well prepared to meet any such shock, and no serious dis- turbance need be anticipated; besides, at this writing it is premature to in- dulge such fears, and better to hope for a peaceful outcome. ‘War Biggest Consideration, Unavoidably the war tontinues to outweigh all other considerations in financial circles. When the flnances of all the great powers in the world are under the greatest strain in his- tory; when millions of men are en- gaged in destruction instead of pro- duction, and that by the most de- structive methods which devilish in- genuity can. invent; when the trade of several of the greatest commercial nations is demoralized; when wholesale; only misguided optimism can talk about real prosperity. The United Statés has one supreme ad- vantage; its isolation from European politics. ~ Our relations with Europe are becoming closer and closer every year as commerce and intercourse grow, but thus far our policy of avoid- ing entangling alllances has proved UNSIGHTLY PINPLES ON FAGE AND NECK lichy, Burnln Red and Inflamed.

The country is fortunate in having at its head a man of such firmness, tem- purpose. This is one source for true seif-congratulation. Another source of | satisfaction is the self-restraint mani- fested by the American people, lic self-control has been shown to a remarkable degree, and this is one of our best assurances for keeping out of the conflict. Conditions Mending. Aside from the war, corditions in the United States are slowly but sure- Iy mending. We have now entered a period when agricultural conditions are a vital factor. - Some of our crops are likely to be late and their condi- ceptional averages of a year The condition, however, is generally above the average and the acreage duction in cotton being made up In other crops—and there is every assur- | ance of a good export demand for all agricultural products at satisfactory | prices. ‘Already the outlook is for a | record wheat crop. Our industrial | situation is slowly emerging from the extreme depression of a year ago. | Bank clearings show no such losses as during the winter months, and lni many instances satisfactory gains are | being shown compared with last year | at this time. i The first four months of the .cur- | | rent year showed a decrease in clear- | Ings at all cities of 6.8 per cent, whils i the total for April showed an increase of nearly 1 per cent., and the returns | for May promise to give better’ re- sults; thus proving that business has decisively turned the corner. Further evidence of recovery is given in the monthly report of idle cars, showing ; a decrease of 37,000 for the month | of April. .Building operations at lead- | ing cities showed a decrease of about | 6 per cent. in April, compared with a decrease of 12 per tent. in March. The total lake tonnage for the month | of April was 1,400,000, compared with 700,000 tons a year ago. The cotton industry shows improvement; New Bedford mills never being so active as now; while the April cotton receipts at New England points were nearly double those of April last year. Tho woolen goods trade has been much stimulated by the war and we are now exporting considerablé quantities in consequence instead of importing. The effect of the war is most conspic- | uous in the steel industry. Enormous orders have been placed in ths coun- try for shrapnel, showing that the Al- | lies intend to push the contest to the point of exhaustion. Our steél mills are profiting more than any other by the war. The automobile trade is brisk and many niakers report larger sales than a year ago. Stock exchange activity has been' well sustained and the total’transactions since January 1 now amount to over 45,00,000 shares, compared with 33,000,009 shares at the same time in 1914.
