How many bundreds of thousands of dollars less Seattle's residence property would be worth if every rose bush should suddenly be taken away!

I refer to your proposed bureau of municipal research. The air is full of troublous questions—the Skagit, the street railways, taxes, ete. The average citizen does not have time to go deeply into the merits of these; our officials sometimes do not have capacity—and then politics sways them. Anyhow the public needs an intelligent, independent agency to guide its judgments. You could supply a big need with such a bureau.

He conceals his worry from most of the outsiders on his “show off days” with the famous Carpentier smile. But talk with him for an hour. You'll hear this about Demp- sey and that about Dempsey—it’s always something about the champ that he likes to talk about, sure proof that the battle is haunting Georges and that it's wearing on him. I've been fighting for 14 years and I know fighters. I've seen lots of other men who lacked confidence and I've seen the tesults when they stepped into the ring. Dempsey meets scores of folks daily. It's bad in a way, of course, but it keeps his mind gff the fight. |He isn’t worrying. He doesn’t have time, Not once did he mention the Frenchman's name or voluntarily make a remark about the approach- THE FIGHT ROUND 1—Dempscy starts after Carp with head lowered and guarded by his left, and right hand drawn back for opening to punch to the body. Carp dances around, retreat- ing before Jack and trying to stick in left jabs to the face to back up the champ. Dempsey evinces his pose to score a knockout as speedily as possible. ROUND 2—Dempsey finds Georges so elusive he can't reach his body and resorts to rushing, trying to corner Carp against the ropes so he can punish him at infighting Georges slips out of many of these traps and dances away. Carp gets in several hard wallops at the champ with his right, but if Dempsey feels them, he does not show it. ROUND 3—Dempsey opens with more rushing, trying to force Carp onto the ropes, On several occa- sions he is successful, and he punishes the Frenchman severely at peo has nothing to think of but the coming it, eats fight and sleeps fight. there is nothing else that surround his It’s on jing fight in all the times I talked with him. The Frenchman ts in prime physi- cal condition, but he isn't big enough to withstand the ferocious attacks |of a fighter of Dempsey’s caliber. Coupling this with the 15 to 20 pounds greater weigh that the champ will carry, his greater reach and the fact that he'll put every ounce of strength he has into de- fending his title meal ticket, I can’t concede the challenger a chance. That's a little strong. He has a chance—once chance in a hundred of being able to slip over a lucky punch that lets him out on top. But if he should win, it would be one of the biggest. upsettings of the dope pail that ever has occurred in fistic circles. . From my study of both champ and challenger, this is my dope on how the fight will progress: BY ROUNDS close range, before Georges can slip away. Carp finds his plan of long- |range fighting isn't getting over |punshment on Jack, for most of the |wallops he has tried up to this time |have either been blocked or have | missed. Georges goes to his corner |breathing hard and obviously losing |steam, Dempsey’s stomach punches jhave weakened him. ROUND 4—Dempsey starts jab- bing at Carp’s face. Georges dances back from them, He sees an open- jing and sends over his right. Demp- sey sidesteps the drive and Carp's arm slips over the champ's shoulder. Quick as a flash Jack's right hand |goes out with a short jerk toward |Carp’s heart, and Georges collides jwith it as he comes in. Then the champ steps forward in the second move of his famous “swivel swing” and pumps a left with terrific force into the challenger’s jaw. Down goes the Frenchman in a lump for the count.
