MISKE PUT OUT Dempscy Looked Ve Good in His First Bout After Defeating Willard for Title. Jack Dempsey defended his title the first time last Labor Day against Billy Miske. He was the same terrible mauler that put Willard aside. His punches seemed to have almost super-human force behind them and Miske lasted less than three rounds. The challenger had grit aplenty and he knew how to box. He landed direct wallops against the champion fre- quently and his quick footwork eluded 1 punches. Although forced to ctive a yvear under the care of surgeons, Miske showed himself a much better scrapper than when he appeared on the eve of the Dempsey- Willard match and fought Battling Levinsky. But he was no match for the Giant Killer 3 bled him in the second round with a vicious blow over the stomach and just below the heart. In the third round he knocked him down three times before Miske was force to quit. The first time he was felled he stay- ed down for the count of nine and he was smiling when he regained his feet. The attack that finished the fight consi d of a hammer blow to the stomach followed by a right to the chin. for LATONIA'S FALL RACING. June 25.—The autumn Kentucky will open September 3.

The MY FIGHTING LIFE —By— GEORGES CARPENTIER Ring History in Europe As Centered About Challenger of Dempsey. READY FOR THE BIG FIGHT. CHAPTER XXXV. By Georges Carpentier. (Copyright 1920, by United Feature Syndicate. All rights reserved. Reproduction prohibited). I was very nervous when we left Stanmore for London the night of the fight. I felt a strange fluttering in- side and must confess that I went over very carefully my chances in the meeting with the man I expected to give me the hardest fight I ever had cndured. My state of mind was communicat- ed to my chauffeur, who was actually trembling as he assisted me into the automobile. I asked him what was the matter and he replied his nerv- ousness was due solely to the hope that I might win and not to fear that I might be beaten. Scarcely a word was spoken as our party was whirled over the roads and into London. It was a vely gdomy journey. Even Descamps could not pug any cheer into the ride. So I was very glad when we finally reached the Olympia Hall and I got into my dress- ing room. I stripped almost as soon as I en- tered the room and lay down for a rest before the bout. It was while lying here that composure gradually came to me, so that I was soon Carpentier Today. Georges Carpentier again. M. Victor Breyer was in the room chatting with me when there entered a very pompous looking individual aad ad- dressed himself to me. Breyer, acting as interpreter, fot the visitor spoke so fast I could not undersand, told me that he had come with a message of good-will. He was, M. Breyer explained, the commission- er of police. This made me feel very good, but I have since learned that the real object of his business was to warn me that I alone would be re- sponsible for any accident. He also told Beckett the same thing. M. Breyer had very kindly diverted my mind from dwelling on such things and actually sent me to the ring happy that I had received the visitor. My nervousness returned as I lay waiting for the summons to the ring. We had arrived early so that the time drew out very long. Every minute seemed an hour, and when the iime to leave the dressing room and go to the ring did arrive I was over- joyed. I stood, stretched and smiled a2t Descamps. The nervousness again lef¢ me as though it were a cloak and 1 had thrown it off. I felt perfectly calm. A mighty shout of welcome greeted me. The lights dazzled me when I iirst entered, so that the shout was a great roar as I stepped from the door into the arena. Thousands of people were present. They made a wall of flesh in front of me. I hop- ped over the ropes into the ring, bow- ing and blowing kisses while the spec- taators screamed. Td ym left there sat the Prince of Wales and I bowed to him. He gave me a smile of recog- nition. Beckett already was in his corner, but T gave him no heed. 1 sat down, with my head half-turned and immeli- ately opened a conversation with Des- camps, but I could see out of the cor- OH, TAG= Look'\T WHAT PoP GoT MALLET AN’ EVERYTHING ner of my eyes that Beckett was eye- ing me closely. He was on his feet and walked about constantly. The walk was aimless as were the glances he turned toward the audience. He seemed to be detached from the fight itself. It was evident that he suffer- ed great agitation. I called Descamps’ attention to the aimless wanderings of Beckett and found that he agreed with.me. It was as though Bombardier Wells, with all kis nervousness, again faced me. He was all sensitiveness. “It is fine, eh Georges? Two rounds and finis.” I had no doubt that he was right. My legs felt as though they were made of springs. I was absolutely master cf myself. Only Beckett remained and I studied him coolly the while I listened to a speech from B. J. Angle, who addressed the crowd on the sub- ject of fair play and sportsmanship. There was quite an interval between the time we entered the ring and the time the bell did finally clang, for this speech consumed considerable time. Beckett was a giant and looked fully the part of a heavyweight cham- pion. This and a hundred other thoughts flashed through my mind as I left the corner and starter out to do battle with him. Dempsey came into my mind, along with wondering if I should beat this huge Englishman and then come to erips with the world’s champion. Then I knew I would beat Beckett surely, and I began to wonder where 7 would meet Dempsey. Should I go to America? The picture of a ship with me aboard flashed through my mind as we went in the center of the ring. CAPT. McCAGG RE-ELECTED Cambridge, Mass., June 25.—Har- vard will face Yale next year with practically the same crew which was defeated by the Blue on the Thames yesterday. Olmsted and S. Damon, who rowed numbers 3 and 2 respec- tively, are the only members of the varsity eight who will not return to college. Louis B. McCagg, Jr., who rowed number 5 in yesterday's race has been re-elected to lead the Crim- son oarsmen. BILLIARD STAR DEAD San Francisco, June 25.—John G.

When you consider the quali- ties for which the Hupmobile is noted, you probabiy wonder how it is possible to sell it for $1485. It is volume production that is the factor in putting the price at $1485. And it is volume production that enables you to get such ex- traordinary value in the Hupmo- bile— —Long life. —Low repair costs. —Ability to keep on going. —High re-sale value. When you buy the Hupmobile for $1485, you get all you pay for, and in addition more than the same figure will buy elsewhere. We honestly believe that the man who buys any other car with- in $400 of the Hupmobile price has not found out how good the City Service Station Hartford Avenue and Stanley St. A. M.
