two years after the Carson City bat
tle.
Jim Jefferies was the only real j
fighting champion since Sullivan’s
time. Jeff won the title from Fitz
simmons in June. 1899, and in Novem
ber of the same year he met a real l
contender in Tom Sharkey.
.Most Moving Kings Wait.
It was two years before Jack John
son stepped into the ring aft t de
feating Jefferies at Reno, and then : ?
met a setup in Jim Flynn, who never
was of champion calibre. Willard,
the present title holder, waited a year
before he consented to box ten round*
without a decision, so that he ready
has yet to defend the title in a champ
ionship match, although he won the
honors in 1915.
Although the sporting public has
ceased to expec* a nev ly crowned
champion to defend bis title right ott
the reel, ring followers never ha' *
become wholly reconciled to the id< i
of waiting years before seeing him
in action. If Dempsey happens I >
win and then makes good his promis< .
he undoubtedly will become tin* most
popular champion the ring ever saw.
Sullivan Popular.
It was Sullivan’s willingness to
show himself at all times that made
him such a popular idol. Dempsey
already has adopted some of Hull -
van’s methods. The young challenge?
met all comers while on tour until
recently, to grant him permission to
lisk injury to his hands.
Although Dempsey did not meet
any man of real standing in these
affairs, he at least gave the specta
tors glimpse of his ability with th ■
gloves. As a matter of fact ther.*
are very few heavyweights left tha*
are able to cause him a great deal
more trouble than the setups lie meets
w bile on the road.
Perhaps in a year or two a nev
crop of heavyweights will come front
among the soldier boys who will have

The figures show that during th *
war the government bought 115.000
head of horses and mules at a total
cost of $27,000,000 in the southern and
central purchasing zones. When hos
tilities ended the government owned
about 500.000 head of horses and
mules. 200,000 in the United States
and 200,000 in France, only 70,000 of
the latter number having been shipped
from this country.
Ilecause of the big demand for
these animals on central west farms
the government has been hurrying dis
tribution, and when auctions now ad
vertised are completed 150 000 ani

farms since January 1.

FLOATING MINKS AT SKA
LONDON. May 2X— Sweeping up
the thousands of mines which strov
the seas in the neighborhood of th*
British Isles has proved such a eosth
and dangerous job when carried on b\
the ordinary methods, that the Admir
alty has turned to the airship for re
lief. Experiments conducted in th»*
North Sea, it is announced, have been
successful, mines being located and ex
ploded much quicker than when tho
usual mine-sweeping ship is used.
While the airship has the advant
age of height in locating mines, the
mere fact that an airship cannot hit
a mine adds so much to the element
of safety that it is expected that much
of the 5,000 square miles of mine
strewn waters which remain will V
cleared without loss of life.
