FIGT QUESTION | STILL UNSOLVED) 80,000 Saw It But Cannot 5 Agree New York, July 27 (UP)—Still the | argument of the ages persists. The | fight was seen by 80,000 who didn’t agree. The pictures have been shown and disputed. The referee has been praised and criticized and the official case has been closed but | the debate continues overshadowing | the New York Yankees and the hot pennant race in the National league. All the experts save one have giv- | en their conflicting opinions about | the legality of the blow with which Jack Dempsey floored Jack Sharkey and what kind of blow it was. The silent one through the early controversy—and he is usually a silent one—was Willlam A. Muldoon, | skilled trainer in the old days of Sullivan, senior member of the box- ing commission and perhaps the greatest authority on boxing and physical culture in the world. “I'm fed up on all this talk about Dempsey fouling Sharkey,” Muldoon said today. “In the first place, ev- erybody is wrong on one vital point. Sharkey was not knocked out—he was stopped. A fighter is knocked out only when he has been rendered unconscious. Sharkey was not un- conscious. He was talking to the| referee when he was on the floor. This is a most essential point as! will be explained later. ‘On another point practically ev- eryone was wrong. Sharkey Wi stopped by a right hand punch to| the solar plexus and not by a left hook to the jaw. Dempsey's left hook grazed the side of Sharkey's| face as a dozen of the same kind of blows had missed earlier in the fight. “As to the legality of the right hand punch in the seventh round— it was a fair punch to the solar plexus exactly similar to the one with which Bob Fitzsimmons knock- ed out Jim Corbett. “I feel so sure of this because I} had taken precautions in advance. | I knew that Dempsey would direct | his attack to the body and I wanted to be in a position to watch for fouls. I secured a seat near Sharkey's cor ner and forunately I was in a pos tion that commanded a perfect view of the blow. ' [ saw that Dempsey was aiming for the solar plexus and 1 became all the more alert because it is & very difficult blow to land in the proper spot and it has to land in exactly the right spot. A fight er could practice a solar plexus blow a thousand times and yet not be able to land it once and many times it goes ‘low. Dempsey finally hit the| right spot with his right hand and it was a fair blow. | | AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP | Francis G.

Sir Henri Deterding, president of the Shell organization, condemned the Standard of New York for en- tering into agreement with Soviet Russia. The Royal Dutch Shell anti-Soviet campaign, SoloviofAsald, already has proved ineffective. In the midst of what he described as Sir campaign against Russian oil and the naptha syndicate, Russia con- cluded new contracts with the {French and Italian naval mnistries, he said. It was presumed from this {that the navies of France and Italy, both states being strongly anti-com- munistic, would operate in part on fuel obtalned from the communistic state. ““Our answer to the Royal Dutch,” said Solovioff, “will be to increaso production and export of Russian ofl which already is twice the pre-war Russian exports. “The Standard Oil sian oil in markets where the Royal Dutch hitherto has marketed its own bunker oil."” Solovioff suggested that this con- flict of markets rather than issues had motivated Sir Henri's ob- Henri's | company of | [ New York henceforth will sell Rus- moral | 1" NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1927. 25,000 Present at Services in Honor of St. Anne at Bristol Church; Cripple Regains Use of Legs 'WE AREINSURED FOR $150,000 Lindbergh and Plane Protected Against Mishap | New York, July 27 (P—"We" are insured for $150,000.

J., July 27 (UP) —Frank Youmans, jr., the dis- charged chauffeur who wooed and won Helen Marie Grommels, heir- ess daughter of the man who had employed him, today proudly drove his bride to her father’s mansion. “We're going on a long honey- moon,” he said, indicating that for- giveness had come from the girl's parents. Asked concerning Dudley Foster, to whom Miss Gremmels had been engaged, Youmans said: “Oh, she didn’t love him. She loved me. But his parents and hers tried to rush the thing through.” Foster's mother sald she had re- ! ceived a letter from her son, who has been working in Indiana, in which he told her news of the elopement had made him ‘“feel bad.” INDIANA MUDDLE MORE INVOLVED Grand Jury Investigations Gon- tinue Today Indfanapolis, Ind., July 27 (UP)— Indiana’s tangled political situation threatened to become more involved teday as investigation of alleged cor- ruption was continued by the regular Marion county grand jury. Under direction of William H. | Remy, county prosecutor, and his | special assistants, the jury was ex- | |amining testimony of two past sim- ilar proceedings and aiso was going | through the contests of D. C.| Stephenson’s “little black boxes.’ The lock boxes were given to author- | ities by the former Ku Klux Klan leader who was alleged political boss | of the state during his regime. | Meanwhile attention was side- | tracked from the grand jury pro- | ceedings by demand of the Indian- | apolis Times and the News that | Governor Ed Jackson either _deny | allegations that he negotiated with Former Governor Warren T.

It was alleged Jackson's faction | offered McCray $10,000 for the | prosecutor appointment and also of fered to guarantee that the execu- tive would not be found guilty of criminal charges in connection with his financial situation.

P., of Our Lady of Sorrows Mona: in West Springfield, was the preacher at all of the services during the day. In the morning he dwelt briefly on the life of St. Anne. At the afternoon services as well as during the even- | ing exercises he also spoke on the devotion to St. Anne. He empha- zed the fact that a person seeking relief through St. Anne must first of all be in the state of grace. One who sought her intercession while in the state of mortal sin, was simply wasting his time, according to Father Austin. Father Magnell recited the beads of St. Anne and also the prayers to St. Anne at the opening of the after- noon and evening exercises. _After the sermon in the afternoon Rev. J.

When the muscles are con- tracted, in a trained athlete, it is not a vulnerable spot but when the muscles are relaxed it is a vital place. . "“A blow there delivered with force paralyzes the leg muscles and knocks the wind from the body without daz- ing the brain. The arms and the upper body can be moved but the limbs are helpless. This was exact 1y the condition of Sharkey. 3 “It is extremely unfair to question the courage of Sharkey. T know that there isn’t a man in the world who can stand up under such a punch because his legs wiJl not hold him up. It is wrong likewise to ac- cuse Sharkey of being a dumb fight- er. He's a smart fighter and the smartest fighter that ever lived, Jim Corbett, fell a victim to the same punch. T was Corbett's time keeper in his fight against Bob Fitzsimmons. I was almost stunred when Corbett's legs buckled under him and he fell to the floor from a left body punch —yes, it was a left hand. Hs re- mained on the floor looking at me and T thought he was taking the count smartly. I thought surely he was going to get up and when I reached the count of ten I will have to admit that I hesitated for perhaps 2 half second and then counted him out. “Fitzsimmons went back to corner and as leaning over the ropes either Kissing or talking to his wife. Corbett arose, perhaps, five seconds later and started a rush at Fitzsimmons but the seconds in the corner stopped him. “Corbett went to his dressing room, stretched out on the table and cried like a baby. I told him to dry up so that no would see him erying. He said he couldn’t help it. that he had lost the champion- <hip and lost all the money that his friends had bet on him. I asked him why he didn't get up and he answered: ‘Get up! Why T thought T had been killed. 1 could- n't breathe and my legs wouldn't move." “Sharkey either was hit a hard- or punch or his muscles were more relaxed because he did not recover %5 quickly as Corbett did. The ef- foct of Dempsey's punch may have been the result of the hard pounding that he gave to the body in the ear- lier rounds which must have weak- ened Sharkey's resistance.’ the Hotdog Man, Still on the Job Scarsdale, N.

The listory of clock making in the United States brought the talk close to New England and as the firms which first made clocks in this coun- try were mentioned, New Britain and Berlin sprang into the limelight as providing the peddlers which first gave a market to wholesale clock- making.
