FIRESTONE CALLS ONHIS OLD CHUM Discnsses Plans for Their Annual Vacation Detroit, Mich, July 21 (UP)— Harvey 8. Firestone was in Detroit today to see his sons play polo and #ee his old friend, Henry Ford, ebout their vacation this summer With Thomas A. Edison. The rubber king admitted a deep Interest in Ford's new car and said he would keep his ears open, hop- ing to hear something about it when he went out to see the manufacturer about vacation. Firestone's four sons, Harvey Jr., [Russell, Leonard and Raymond, are members of one of the Chagrin Val- ley Hunt club teams of Cleveland, which meet each other in the Cen- tral West Circuit tournament this afternoon. The price of rubber 1is coming down, Firestone sald, because the world is producing more rubber than it is consuming. Speaking of the British export yestrictions, Firestone said: “Those fellows are foolish. They are going to hurt themselves more than any- one else by maintaining those re- strictions. Today, even with those restrictions, the price of rubber is 85 cents.” Yale Films Stolen But Are Quickly Replaced New Hvaen, July 21 (A—The mysterious disappearance of several of the “Chronicles of America"” his- torical films produced by the Yale University press and their equally | mysterious reappearance was re-| vealed here today by George Parn- ley Day, president of the university press and treasurer of the university.

BLOOD PRESSURE HIGH IN DEMPSEY This Is What Examining Doctor Says New York, July 21 (P—Jack Dempsey has high blood-pressure and is not the “super-man of four years ago,” when he knocked out Luis Firpo, but he will enter the ring tonight against Jack Sharkey “ as physically fit as any human being could at 32 years. This was the finding ot Dr. Wil- llam Walker, official physician for the state athletic\ commission, today after the former champion had com- pletely upset advance expectations by scaling a pound and*a halt less than his young rival in tonight's 15- round battle at the Yankee Stadium. Dempsey weighed 194 1-2 when he stepeped on the scales at Madi- | son Square Garden. He did not meet Sharkey, as had been expected. The Boston sailor, arriving a little later, weighed 196. Examination of both fighters by Dr. Walker revealed them in prime physical condition, but the physician pointed to a sharp contrast between the Dempsey of today and the fighter who knocked out Luis Firpo years ago here. | se 3 sqreorsaud se sp Losdway,, any human being could be at 32,” | said Dr. Walker, “But he is not the |super-man of four years ago. He |is no longer the bundie of nerves | |that faced Firpo. The most obvious | | change in his physical responses was a blood-pressure which, although not abnormal, seems very much for an athlete. Sharkey's about normal. “Dempsey’s high blood pressure, from a medical viewpoint, way tend to slow him up as the fight progres- ses” Dr. Walker continued. “Fur- |thermore Dempsey’s pulse rate— | 73 at rest and 79 after exercise—in- dicated that the former champion's | heart action would be slower re- turning to normal than Sharkey, whose pulse was at rest §8 and T4 after exercise. “Dempsey’s increasing blood pres- sure fs doubtless due to his age” Dr. Walker said Dempsey’s weight indicated he had trimmed off approximately 11 poudns in three weeks of training at Saratoga. Nevertheless it was con- siderably over his poundage last blood pressure was his losing fight with Gene Tunney. Sharkey was as cool and confident as ever when he stepped on the scales. “Ho, ho! So he was afraid to see me now, was he?” Sharkey remark- ed, referring to Dempsey, as the Bostonian turned to Dr. William ‘Walker, the commission’s physician. Asked what he expected to do to Dempsey, Sharkey repeated his con- tention that he would “knock him out.” Wagers placed this morning were chiefly at odds of 7 to 5 on Sharkey to win. Most Dempsey backers were seeking odds on his prospects of scoring a knockout.
