COVERING FISTIC CLASSIC OF AL
TIMES WAS A MILLION DOLLAR JOB
First Pictures Reach San Francisco Monday Noon After Thrilling
Aeroplane Race Across Country Most Costly Story in History.
(From the Editor and Publisher.)
We have heard a great deal in the
last few: days about the paltry million
and a half dollars that was taken in
at the gate at Boyle’s Thirty Acres,
Jersey City, but what’s a million, es
pecially between newspapers, when a
Carpentier meets a Dempsey?
The cost of that short encounter to
the newspapers mounted into millions,
More exciting than the fight itself
was the race of the airplanes carrying
photographs west for two rival {feat
ure services or the hydroplane chase
for liners that had sailed from New
York more than three hours before the
champion and contender entered the
ring. These were only a few of the
big incidents in covering the most
costly sporting event in the history of
journalism.
The first heavy wire costs fell upon
the big news agencies. Every possible
safety was used to prevent a slip-up
of any kind. For instance, regular
trunk wires were paralled with
emergency wires and even if a break
should occur one wire at a big
moment in the fight there would be
no break in the delivery of a continu
ous and uninterrupted story to news
papers and waiting crowds thousands
of miles away. Not only were emergen
cy wires set up, but extra wires to
carry the overflow of news activities
ingthe great arena from the pencils
ot'special writers at the ringside.
The press arrangements were ideal.
Eight hundred working newspaper
men were provided for and as many
were refused press privileges. This
was found necessary on account of thg
unusual demand of newspapers from
every part of the two America’s and
Europe.
The speed with which the story of
the fight was handled to distant points
had never been equalled. Allowing for
the difference in time it was just ten
minutes after the knockout that the
result was announced by ILondon
newspapers. Le Matin, of Paris, as
serts that the fight ended at sixteen
seconds after 8:30 Paris time and the
first flash of the result was received
by witeless at 8:32. The cable flash of
the result was received in the French

capital at 8:32 and ten seconds. Equal
ly as rapid/ transmission was reported
from Mexico, Cuba and South Amer
ican countties. Direct cable connections
were established from the ring to
Cuba,
The Associated Press, United Press,
International News Service and Uni
versal Service for the first time in the
history of the prize ring carried detail
stories of the fight to clients in every
part of the world. Within the United
|States and Canada there was not a
single break and the delivery of the
news of every move in the ring to the
press of America could be measured
only by seconds. More than two hun
dred telegraph wires were operating
from the ringside from early in the
morning until darkness. Even the
United News, which does not operate
Saturday night, set up its wires and
carried the big story. Consolidated
Press carried a running story that
started at 10 o’clock in the morning.
Reporting the fight was exciting and
hard work, but it did not carry with it
the thrills that went to the makers of
|pictures. A record i transcontinental
transportation was undoubtedly made
in their delivery on the Pacific coast.
The fight‘wds finished at 3:31 p. m.
Saturday and the pictures of the knock
out were delivered in San Francisco
at 12:16 p. m." Monday. The first pict
ures of the ‘fight to reach Chicago
were delivered in that city in a little
over nine hours and in time to catch
the regular city edition of the Tribune.
| The Tribune plane left Jersey City at
14:10 and arrived in Chicago at 1 a. m.
with a short stop at East Cleveland,
Ohio. It was the only one to get
through to that city. The first pictures
reached Pittsburg at 8:05 and appear
ed in the first edition of the Sunday
Press. The Press airplane got away
from Jersey City flying field at 3:41.
All "the big dailies of the Atlantic
seaboard rushed pictures of the fight
to their home offices by special mes
sengers. Aeroplanes, automobiles and
motorcycles were used, depending en
tirely upon the distance to be covered.
The big race west, however, was
between the Newspaper Enterprise
Association and the International Pict
ures, in conjunction with the Chicago
Herald-Examiner and Hearst Pacific
coast newspapers. The Hearst organi
}zation had two planes and the N. E.
A. three.*!One N. E. A. plane was
wrecked at the start when the pilot
selected to drive into a tree instead of
a crowd that had gathered to watch
the start. All of the planes arrived in
Cleveland about the same time. At
9:30 the Cleveland Press was on the
streets with a picture of the knock
out. At Cleveland both firms found it
necessary to abandon their planes and
charter special trains and the run to
Chicago was made at 60 miies an hour.
A baggage car was hastily attached
to the N. E. A. train and turned into
a photographic studio. The work of
turning out prints was continued dur
ing the run.
l The N. E. A. train reached Chicago
at 4:30 Sunday morning. The N. E.
A. emergency plane got away from
Chicago at 5:58 Sunday morning. A
short distance north of Omaha it run
into a terrific storm and was forced
down. A’ special train was made up
immediately by the Union Pacific’ and
was run through: to Lamarie, Wyo.,
where another emergency plaue which
had flown east frqm Cheyenne upon
hearing of the accident picked up the
pictures and began' the last leg of the
journey. The last thousand miies were
made without stop in a little over
twelve hours. ' *
The N. A, E; plane and a U. S. mail
plane carrying one shipment of In
ternational Pictures reached San Fran
cisco together., Two Hearst planes left
Chicago for the coast Sunday morning
by different routes, but no detailed re
ports of- their difficulties have as yet
been received in New York and but
the one shipment of pictures has so
far been delivered.
~ In order that there would be no de-
Jay in getting away from the Jersey
City flying field wireless telephones
were used to notify the airplanes to
tune up immediately when the fight
finished. The Brooklyn Citizen also
[used wireless telephone from the ring
side to call the progress of the fight
[to the crowds in front of its bulletin
boards.
Several successful efforts were made
to send pictures by wire. The Los
Angeles Times and the Chicago Trib
une cach received two telegraph pict
ures that were exceptionally good and
were carried in all cditions of their
Sunday papers. The first pictures to
appear in London were cabled by a
new process of H. Guy Bartholeiriew
and appeared in both the Mirror, of
which he is director, and tae Daily
Mail. Three pictures in all wcre sent
and word comes from l.ondon that
they were good. The prowess is said to
be entirely new.
International Pictures won in a race
to deliver the first actual pictures of
the fight in Europe. Liners leaving for
the other side sailed at noon. A flying
boat left the North River shortly af
ter 4 o’clock, however, and overtook
the Carolina in 42 minutes and placed
a complete set of plates of the fight
aboard her. A seaplane met her six
hours out on the other side and three
days will be saved in all on delivery
on account of sailings from this side.
Efforts to place plates aboard the
Zeeland, which also sailed at noon,
failed. This undertaking was for a
French and British firm. A hydroplane
made the attempt but was caught in a
heavy fog and lest. Flying back to land
by compass it crashed into a house on
Oak Island, wrecking the machine.
DARKNESS ENDS 8
RAIN INTERFERES WITH THE
GAME, LEAVING SCORE TIED
WHEN NIGHT COMES.
The Dawson-Arlington ball game on
Monday afternoon ended in an eight
inning wrangle, with the score tied
7 to 7, rain having broken into the
play in the early: part oi the game and
darkness intervened before the nine
frames could be finished. The slow
diamond accounted for the poor game
and also most of the hits given up by
Sal Jenkins, who twirled for the lo
cals.
Holland, who begun mound work
for the visitors was ousted from the
roost in the early part of the game
and was relieved by Willis, who fared
little better. Harris at first for the lo
cals and Stone in left garden for the
boys from Calhoun featured in field
ing, Stone cutting off the ball from
Hafle’s bat labelled for three bags.
Cocke, Robert Pinkston and Ham
mock featured at bat for the home
club, Cocke taking three out of five
chances, while Cowart and Clements
for the visitors were their star slug
gers. Batteries for Dawson: Jenkins
and Pinkston; Arlington : Holland,
Willis and Lawrence and Clements.
Umpires: Cocke and Bostwick.

DAWSON COTTON OIL CO.
RESUMES OPERATIONS
Sufficient Amount of Seed on Hand to
Run Mill Several Weeks.
The Dawson Cotton Qil Co., after
having been closed down for several
weeks, due to the non-movement oi
cotton seed, resumed operations Mon
days, having purchased enough seed
to run both night and day for several
weeks. They are now in the market
for both cotton seed and peanuts, and
now that prices are better many of the
farmers are selling. This betterment
they have awaited for some time and
now prospects look good from all
viewpoints, both to the oil mills and
to the farmers.
THE DAWSON NEWS
| AVE
TAKEN, TO CEMETERY, GIVEN
A SEVERE BEATING, AND
‘ TOLD TO LEAVE.
News has reached the sheriff’s office
!that a few nights ago a number of
men riding in automobiles visited the
farm of Mr. J. L. Kenyon, near Par
rott, and took a young negro named
Ren Hunt to a ncarby cemetery, plac
ed him across a newly made grave
and gave him a severe whipping. When
the beating was finished the negro
was told to run, and as he sped away
‘in the dark the mob fired several shots.
Very little can be learned of the af
fair, but it seems from the best in
formation obtainable that the trouble
originated from a report that George
Hunt, father of the negro who was
flogged, had cursed a white man, and
at night a number of men went to
the old negro’s cabin, but failed to lo
cate him. His son, Reuen Hunt, came
to the door with a poker in his hand.
Next night the men returned in quest
of the elder Hunt, when a negro wo
man who was in the house escaped
and ran to Mr. Kenyon’s home near
by and informed him of the trouble.
Mr. Kenyon hurried to the negro’s
home, which was dark, and on en
tering the house a flashlight was
thrown in his face. The light showed
the crowd that they had the wrong
negro, and he was released. Then
Reuen Hunt, who had the poker the
previous night, was hurriedly put in
to one of the automobiles and taken
to the cemetery, where the flogging
was administered.
It is reported that the old negro,
George Hunt, was hiding in the loft
of his house at the time of the first
visit of the night riders. He has since
left that community.
Mr. Kenyon, who is constable of
the Parrott district, is said to have
recognized a number of the men who
were in the party.
NAMES YOUNG WOMAN AS
CAUSE OF HER TROUBLE.
WANTS WORLD TO KNOW.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—Mrs. F.
D. Guerry shot and fatally injured her
husband at their home here late to
day and then committed suicide.
The woman died instantly, while
Guerry died shortlv afterwards in a
hospital.
Mrs. Guerry left a note with in
structions for the care of her 6-year
old child and named another young
woman as the cause of her domestic
unhappiness.
All the parties are well-known here.
In the note Mrs. Guerry stated she
fully realized what she was about to
do and “wanted the world to know”
that the young woman named was re
sponsible. Guerry was employed by a
local branch of an automobile tire con
cern.
Guerry was the son of the late Judge
James H. Guerry, formerly of Daw
son, Ga., and was a widely known
Georgia jurist. He leaves three broth
ers, all well known in this state. The
four of them had only last Thursday
attended the funeral of their mother at
Arcadia.
Mrs. Guerry was formerly of Chi
cago, where she married Guerry eight
years ago.
Only two shots were fired by the
woman, one entering Guerry’s left ear
while the second, directed at herseli,
took effect in her left temple.
The young woman involved and her
parents were almost hysterical as a
result of the affair. The young woman
declared there had been nothing more
than a playful flirtation between them
and that it had been conducted in the
presence of Mrs. Guerry.

ings. We are sure that God will re
ward every one of you who were so

New Prices
on Titan and
International Tractors
Now Lowest Ever Quoted
EF FECTIVE immediately, we make another big re
duction in the prices of Titan and International Tractors.
These reductions wipe out all former advances and place
Titan and International tractors at the lowest prices
at which they have ever been sold.
International 8-16 Titan 10-20
SS9OO $9OO
This price is about one-fourth less
than the price at which the 8-16 sold
prior to March of this year. The
new figure is the lowest at which it
was ever sold. The new price in
cludes all the necessary equipment
—platform, fenders, governor, belt
pully—features which must be paid
for extra on some tractors.
The International 15-30 has been reduced to sl,7so—lower than it h.as
ever been before. The man who needs a 4-plow tractor cannot find a better I
vestment than the 15-30 at this price. (All prices f. 0. b. Chicago.)
Considering quality, power, equipment, and the service which follows every
machine, Titan and International tractors at these new low prices are ul
questionably the best buy in the tractor market.
As these prices have been made regardless of manufacturing costs, we do not
guarantee to maintain them.
These prices certainly justify the immediate purchase of a tractor. Put it at
the horse-killing work of hot weather plowing, and your fall and winter belt work.
See our tractor dealer for full information on deliveries and terms.
