ANOTHER NON-STOP
FLIGHT UNDER WAY
Handley-Page Bomber Leaves
Newfoundland, Due in
N. Y. Today
(By The Associated Press.)
Harbor Grace, N. F July 4. The
HandleyPage bombing plane, originally
entered by Viei Admiral Mark Kerr for
the London Daily Mail trans-Atlantic
contest, started at 4;5 o'clock (New
York time) this afternoon on an at
tempted non-stop flight to New York.
Vice Admiral Mark Kerr and his crew
of three hope to land tomo-row morn
ing at Mineola in ample time to join
in the greeting to the British dirigible,
B-34.
The distance from Harbor Grace to
Mineola, approximately 1,075 miles, and
the fliers counting on strong beam
winds, estimated the flight probably
would take between 12 and 15 hours.
With favoring winds it could have been
made in about 10 hours, as the big bi
plane is capable of developing an en
matt speed of 95 to 103 miles an hour.
Besides Admiral Kerr, who is acting
as manager and assistant pilot, the
crew comprises Major Herbert G. Brack
ley, pilot; Col. Trygove Gran, naviga
tor, aad Frederick Wyatt, radio op
erator. . i
It was vaderstood hero that if the
flight tM successful, th Handley
Page would fly to Toronto in the lat
ter part of August to take part in an
air meet arranged there in connection
with the proposed visit of the Prince
of Wales. It was said that the big
plane then probably would make flights
to several American cities, including
Atlantic City, and possibly would at
tempt a flight across the American
continent in the autumn.

Cheers went up from the sidewalks
as tho "veterans," young and handsome,
yet in many eases wearing service bars,
wound stripes or decorations for
bravery. The men had been hastily
assembled in platoons but made a
Splendid impression and kept perfect
order. A large tank from Camp Bragg

this district, who is one of the few
Confederate veterans now serving in

' Big Crowd Attends.
The barbecue dinner was for the
quests and soldiers, but on the grounds
there were scores of places where the
visitors could find something to satisfy
the inner man. The large battlefield,
now a national park, was covered with
automobiles and other vehicles, and
folks mostly folks it seemed.
It was a crowd such as is rarely
seen in this section or uie country.
In tho afternoon there waa a band con
cert, aeroplane flying, tank, stunts, day
light fireworks and other features to en
tertain the crowds. 1
Mr. Clark began by saying that he
had come to Guilford battleground at
the urgent invitation of Major Sted
man. He had promised to come and
had been urged to do so ever since he
had been instrumental ia getting the
battlefield accepted as a nstional park.
He said that North Carolina had the
best average delegation in Congress of
any State in the union. He was not
making this statement because he was
in the Senate for be had made it else

Commenting on the heroism of th
American boys he eould not say too
much or did not hesitate to reveal the
exact conditions which existed in Eu

sue and ability of the American aol
dier.
Col. Cox, as the audience immediately

(By The Associated Press.) v
Toledo, O., July 4. By virtu of eat
of the speediest and most -one-sided bat
ties which ever decided a blf flstU
event, Jack Dempsey, who may sow
wish to be knowa by hi full toting
name of William Harrison Dempoey,
today became tho world' champiou
heavyweight boxer. To all intent
snd purposes he whipped the , huge
Jess Willard, favorite ia the meagre
betting, in one 'round. Dempsey
thought the referee had announced htm
winner and actually left the ring. Bat
be was called bock and the butcher
continued for two rounde more when
Jea, sitting in his corner, with be
wildered look oa his asroHea, uuntea
anre failed to respond to the goaf fot
the fourth rowed.
"No Uae," Said Jena.
''It was no use to continue," Aal.l
the x-chmplon. "My strength Went
from me in the first round."
Ho sat there, apparently tho most
surprised man in the United State at
the moment. His right rye wa clos
ed and his ditto eheek twollea aad
blue with bruises. Blood covered hi
body and his arms hung o helplessly
over the ropes that it seemed a U a
child might give him further abuse
without arousing his Interest, ' '
Winner Breathing Bard. V "
Dempsey was breathing hard whoa
the fight ended, but it was from exer
tion and not from punishment. He
escaped almost unhurt, but a he had
been using his arm like triphammer
on the anatomy of hia opponent, fol
nine crowded minute in a eaa that
sent the thermometer to 110 degrees,
hia heart wis still pumping at high
pressure, and it oppreetated the breath '
ing spell. v ;
In the first few seconds of tho eon
test it looked aa if the expert who, had
been assigned to keep detailed account
of all blows struck might come mens
urrably close to doing so, but it wal
only for a fraction ot a momeat, . x--
Dempsey Quick Work.
After that, the experts did well to
count Jack'a blows, let alone take Bote
ot how each was made. Tba challenger
knocked the big fellow down five time
in the first round and had him hanging
aeiplessly on the ropea or draped over
his own shoulders most of the time
when he was not taking advantage of
the count.
Willard Down Five Time. '
The crowd thought the fight waa over
in that round. Willard wa down for
the fifth time and the count waa ap
parently about to end whea the gong
sounded. It was a modest gong which
could not make itself heard before lo
many people, and even Dempsey did aot
get it. He crawled through the ropee
and was beaded out onto the'sboulders
of screaming fans when the truth wa
broken to him, and he waa hauled back.
Such fighting aa the Kansas ranchman
produced was placed on exhibition at
the onset. He had stood ia his corner
a picture of confidence. Hia smilo seem
ed that of one who had a brief and not
lipleasnnt task before him. He cer
tainly was sll set to go, for just before
time was called he was heard to remark t
"Let's get this thing over." -.
He measured the attendance, which
disappointed estimates by about 80 per
cent, with an appraising eye.
Dcmpaey presented a contrast. Xbae
of the confidence of hia training eamp
atatemeats appeared In his bearing. Th
man across from him outweighed him
40 pounds snd looked ss big and -impregnable
as a metropolitan bank build
ing. The mood of the challenger wa
plainly thoughtful and more thaa oae
ringside gazer .whispered :
"He's licked right now."
Crowd Howled "Murder!"
When they were introduced, , Jess
sauntered over with the cordial meaner
of oae desiring to reassare a youngster,
and took 'his hands in tha friendliest
way. Jack's hand shake was friendly
too, just then, but it waa th -last token
of friendship from those gloves. A
minute or so later they were using Wil
lard for a chopping block aad some la
tho crowd were crying, "Stop '.tl Stop
It! it 1 plain murder."
Dempsey 'a first effective blow, and
the ones which appareatly settled Wil
lard's fat.), were a right over Jess
shoulder to the jaw,: a left to the body
aad a right to the jawr- Va staggered.
