Seven Thousand Two Hundred
and Two Paid to See Demp

SHELBY, Mout.. July s—(By As
sociated Press) — Its frenzy of ex
citement subsiding Shelby sat down
today to count its losses incurred
through promotion of the Dempsey-
Gibbons championship fight, in
which the champion won a decision,
after fifteen rounds during which
Gibbons was soundly beaten, with
out Dempsey being able to put over
a knockout punch.
On the debit side of the ledger,
this little Montana eow r town, which
had its day Wednesday as the
fight center of the world, must
write down a deficit of approxi
mately SIOO,OOO. It bought the
world’s championship battle, to
which 7,202 persons paid admission,
with an outlay of $210,000 for the
title holder; $20,000 for promotion
and $85,000 for erection of the
arena, with, the exception of salvage
on the stadium, estimated to he
about $25,000, against $201,485 in
gate receipts, from which federal
taxes totalling over $22,000 must
be deducted, the difference be
tween these figures representing a
dead loss.

VALDOSTA, July s.—Reports
from the Mcßae and Vidalia sec

were made this season with dew
berries for market, shows that a
total of thirteen carloads were
shipped, in addition to a number
of small lot shipments by express.
For the first season the growers
appear to be very well satisfied
with the results, according to the
best information obtainable. In the
meantime many in this section are
closely investigating the business.

Fight experts favor Firpo to win, many believing’ he will knock out
the aged Willard. On the other hand, some of the leading authorities feel
that Willard’s experience will decide the issue.
In his recent bout with Floyd Johnson, Willard staged a remarkable
comeback. IDs win by the knockout route over his youthful rival was a
real surprise. Few figured he would last the limit.
Firpo is young and strong. Ilis knowledge of the finer points of the
game is limited. However, he can hit, and Willard is not hard to hit.
For that reason most of the wise men of the ring figure Firpo as a strong
contender for the heavyweight honors.

Albany might tie the score or even 1
win the game, but Laird made the
visiting batsmen keep them in the
air, and C. McCullough and Cam
eron were easy outs to Brown and
Dowis. Eldridge, the first man up
in this inning being previously
gone out on a fly to Wade in cen
ter. In the sixth, Laird pulled'
himself out of one of the worst j
holes of the game.-when with bases'

the side before Albany scored, j
Duiing this inning th e fun started
when Eldridge reached first on
Collier’s error, was advanced on
McCullough’s hit and went to
third on Swann’s bingle. It looked
like Albany was sure to score, and
Americus rooters beat their big
bass drum in the grand stand and
played the weirdest of music
while the crowd bent its en
ergies toward guying the visiting
batsmen. This maneuver evident
ly had its effect, for Kim bell, C.
McCullough and Cameron, who fol
lowed at bat, each popped easy
ones, Eldridge and McCullough dy
ing in efforts to cross the rubber,
and Cameron flying out to Dowis
to retire the side. One of the fea
tures of the game was the batting
of McCullough, who annexed four
hits out of as many times at bat,
one of these being a two-bagger

runs. The box score:
