Jack Sharkey, and gain the right to a return title match with Gene Tuaney While a vast, delerlously excited throng of 82,000 spectators cheered him on, the former heavyweight champion rallied after a wobbly start, bored through Shark A slashing attack and brought the ! year-old sailor down for the count of 10 in the seventh round of what was to have been a 12 round match. ? terrific right hook to the plt ot in a ISC stomach doubled Sharkey up anil a crashing overhand right to the Jaw brought the Boston giant down for the fatal count after only 45 seconds of fighting In the seventh round. ?Bo close to?the?border-line wo Dempsey's crustrlfig left?the really decisive blow?that Sharkey started to- elatm a foul, only to go tumbling! down in a moment from the Impact of Dqmpsey's light hand.

He finished the count in unison with the knock-down timer and waved Sharkey out Protest Result Sharkey's* handler persisted In their protests after the fight, but their attempted action was drowned In the wild outburst that came from the huge throng, most of which had come to cheer the 32-year .old ex.champlon in his colorful come-back. It was a sudden climax to one of the most dramatic heavyweight battles ever staged. A slashing, mauling struggle In which Dempsey, defying the..craft and stamina of Sharkey's youth, demonstrated that he had come a long way back from the foundering form that coat him his title last tall. Refuse*! To Quit Staggering and badly shaken up by vicious left hooks to the Jaw toward the close of the first round and Jarred frequently by Sharkey's stiff counter wallops, Dempsey fought on and won because be refused to be beaten back or balked. Stunned or shaken as he was at first, Dempsey had the resour. ces to come back, kept plunging In, breaking through Sharker's guard with short left add right hooks. His right eye out and streaming blood, his lips spilt by vicious Jabs, Dempsey nevertheless had the power to keep plunging in until he won. ' V .The vast crowd, which pard close to $1,100,000 to see the spectacle, was thrilled by Dempsey's sensational, doggedly persistent fight to victory against odds that seemed a44 against him at the start. The former cham. pion's old speed, the fighting spark that made him the vicious "Manassa mauler" of old seemed lacking ^as the fight began. The younger, speedier and more clever' Sharkey outstepped and outboxed the former champion and when he clubbed Dempsey with a series of terrific blows toward the close of the first round, the end seem ed in sight ' i?

The little fellow was tak en immediately to a hospital in Rocky Mount, where It was learned he was paralysed.

The car was headed towards Castalla. ? Following the accident Bragg and the women came to Loulsburg and' told the Sheriff and Constable Wiggs about the accident and who they were and where they could be found in case of trouble. . Although they did not stop to ad minister to the little boy or take him to the hospital, we understand they did Inquire about him and called to sas Its mother while the little fellow was being taken to the hospital. It was an exceedingly sad accident that from what we have heard could have been avoided. A warrant for assault with a dead ly weapon was sworn out before A. w. AlqtfH, Justice of the Peace, Wed, nesday morning for Miss Lola Huff, man, whp it is alleged was driving the car. Miss Huffman was arrested and brought to Loulsburg Wednesday and held In custody without bond, await, lug the results of the accident.

MIST HATE LIGHTS TESTED Contrary to the general belief that it is not compulsory to have the lights on automobiles tested the fol lowing paragraph clearly eontempla. tes that they must be adjusted. The fact that one is given an opportunity to have his lights adjusted within 48 hours, to our mind, makes the generous in that tt doesn't want to Inflict a hardship by placing- a fine upon the offender, but really contem plates having the law complied with. Th# paragraph in tfie State automo bile law reads: Paragraph 84. When any person Is arrested tor operating a motor ve hicle whtth carries lamps that have been improperly adjusted or which are equipped with unauthorised bulbs, be will'ha allowed 48 hours wMJria which to make them conform to, law.
