July s.—(By tin* Associated Press).—Jack Dempsey re freshed by a good night’s sleep, prepared * today to desert Montana for a few days’ vacation with his mother in Salt Lake City. Utah, after Jiiue weeks of training for his heavy weight match with Tommy Gibbons at Shelby yesterday. The title holder said he was tired of 1 the naming grind and would xveSeome a vacation. He expressed admiration for Gibbons’ ability as boxer and declared 1 he wanted to give him credit for his wonderful showing. ‘ “I hope Gibbons was not hurt." Demp sey said. “He is a great boxer and put ’ up a fast bout. 1 h*pe the crowd was pleased."

Regret That Gibbons Lest. Prescott. Ariz.. July 5—A resolution regretting that Tommy Gibbons “failed i to knock Jack Dempsey’s block off" was 1 adopted last night by the executive com mittee -of tin* Arizona State Department ot the American Legion which was in session here. The Story of the Fight. Shelby. Mont.. July 4.—The whole ' sporting world was wrong—with the ex ception of that courteous, smiling indi • vidua 1. Tommy Gibbons, of St. Fatih <4:Mb'■■ig.vT, to the astonishment ‘ of the 25.000 spectators, in the sun-bak ed arena, on the edge of this oil lxmm town, was on his feet, still fighting at the end of ins scheduled 15-rou ml heavy weight championship battle today with Jack Dempsey when almost everybody expected him to be knocked out in six or seven rounds. Dempsey, the champion, was an over whelming favorite to win by a knockout early in the battle. Referee Jimmy Dougherty, of Phila delphia. awarded Dempsey tin* decision when the , gong clanged ending the fif teenth round, but Gibbons, who did not get a cent for fighting, left the ring with a moral victory. It was the first time that any fighter had managed to face Dempsey and still be on his feet at the finish since he became champion. Gibbons has a reputation made in SO lights of never having been knocked off bis feet. That reputation is still good. Dempsey had him dizzy and weary, prob ably half a dozen times today, but fail ed to knock him out. The fight had an entirely different end ing than any of the spectators expected. Even the enthusiastic Gibbons protag onists shouting encouragement to their fighter had not the slightest idea he would last more than seven or eight rounds, fn fact it was the concensus of opinion that four or five rounds would find Tommy on the door knocked out. Tommy, a master boxer and constant ly on tin* lookout for the knockout blow, danced and side-stepped around the ring, occasionally slipping a right or left to Dempsey’s face and then eluding danger by clinching or stepping backward. Toward tin* last Gibbons seemed to be fading fast and repeatedly went into clinches with the champion. In the last round it appeared that his defenses were failing and many expected Dempsey to administer the expected knockout. • The champion, seeing the condition of the challenger, furiously slashed at his lielul . and body, but Tommy hung on and , clinched and side-stepped until the saving grace of tin* final bell. Defnpsey was never in danger in a round of the fight. Although Gibbons cut and slightly blackened the champion’s right eye in the opening round and Dempsey brought blood once or Awice j from the challenger, neither was marked to any appreciable extent. 1 While tin* championship battle was a surprise to the fight fans, it was more than amazing to Jack Kearns. Dempsey’s manager. Kearns was stunned after the live or six rounds had demonstrated that the champion was unable to hit Gibbous effectively. The manager, as well as ev ery member of the champion’s camp, were sure Dempsey would whip over a knock out in four or five roundg. Gibbons played a hit and run game, fighting a remarkable defensive fight throughout. lie never gave Dempsey much of an opportunity to land the sleeping punch. In some rounds In* switched his tactics and surprised the champion by carrying the fighting to him and even out boxing him in spots. While there were barely 8,000 persons in the arena at the beginning of the , championship battle,' it was but a few minutes until approximately 25,000 were crowded as near as they could get to the ringside. The reason was that the spec tators would not pay the prices asked and just before the fight Kearns decided to cut the price of the best seats more ! than 50 per cent.

The President said that the safety of society is in the obedience to law. If you like the law or not. as long as it is regularly adopted it is our business to obey it.

CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE BY BULL WEEVIL REPORTED This Is the Tinv‘ When the Farmers •Should Be on the Alert. Raleigh, July a.—Considerable dam age by the cotton boll weevil has been reported to the Department of Agricul ture and State College officials by W. Bruce Mabei*. in charge of the field sta tion of the division of entomology at Dunn, X. (’., it was stated at the De partment of Agriculture here today. Mr. Mabee reports that the weevil has punctured 17 per cept v; of tin* square. ° ll the farm of M. L. Ballard at Kipling; on the farm of Dr. O. K. Cnderwood ill one field IS per cent, of the squares have been punctured; and 12 miles south of •Fayetteville on the F. M. Morah planta tion a !) per cent. damage has been found. According to Mr. Mabee. this is the time when farmers should be on the alert for boll weevil damage and preparations should be made fjor dusting the cotton. He states that time should not be wasted in looking for grown weevils but rather that attention should be turned to the punctured squares on the cotton plants. Where the damage is not general over the entire field, time, poison, and cotton may lx* saved by dusting the heavily in fested plants and thus preventing the spread of weevils over an entire farm. For the purpose of determining the per oentage of infestation Mr. Mabee suggests that 100 squares on the stalks be examined. This will give a general average for the field being considered and. Mr. Mabee says, if ten out of each blind red squares are punctured, it is time for dusting. Dusting lias already begun at Kipling. Salcmburg. and in the tilds south of Fay etteville. according to the Department of Agriculture. Last year dusting did not begin until July 20 but it commenced this season on June 20.
