Th<- negro completely dlsregar ld Fields' famed left hook and except in the second round was not ! spent. In that session Jackie sent I him a hard left hook to the Jaw land followed with several lefts and [rights, but Thompson weathered the I round and came out fresh enough to batter the champion in the third i ouml. From then until the ninth It was all Thompson but the champion rallied then and shook up young Jack enough to take the ninth round. Thompson was content to rest in the tenth ami eleventh but Fields could not penetrate his def. nsive left to score damaging punches. The negro came out fighting in the 12th, took that round and then pounded Jackie all over the ring in the 13th and 14th. j Fields grabbed and held at every l opportunity but the fast milling' had l:il>u mm-h of the steam out of young Jack’s punches and thenew champion could not put Jackie on the floor. The 15th saw Fields start reck- '

Ilesaly, apparently realizing that his I only clumce of victory was by a I knockout He wouldn't have lost Uhls title had he have fought | throughout as he did in the 15th. ■ He waded Into Thompson with left I hooks ami shtsik up the negro enough to force young Jack into clinches. Both men were tired. Thompson perhaps the more weary, and Fields took the round. I It was not the first time Thomp- | son has beaten u champion. A ! little over two years ago he knockied out Joe Dundee, then the weltel weight title-holder in the second iound of a tight here, but it wus ■an overweight match and the title | diil not change cliands. I Fields later won the title, less i than a yuir ago, from Dundee on . a foul in Detroit. Thompson's victory bore out the contentions of many funs in this I i Field's home town) that Fields [ isn't a great fighter. Since wini ning the title he has traveled over I the kerosene circuits' and th- only, , really good opponent lie met, young I I Corbett, beat him. j t -- -> — J BASEBALL BRIEFS Philadelphia's Athletics and the [ Chicago Culis. 1929 world series opi ponents, headed their resp*-tive [ leagues today and were in position . to increase their advantage by deI feating leading contenders for hon- [ ors.

Most of those who fought Parker, however, are outstanding senatorial drys like Senator Borah. Repn, Idaho, and Chairman Norris of the senate judiciary committee. Incidentally, i they declined to comment on the I Roberts appointment. While the drys are in control of I ihe senate, numerically, it is 1 hardly possible that they could de- 1 | feat Roberts because of the unaniI mous administration support he ' will control. Roberts may expect [ i strong support from dry Republicans, even if he is a wet. COURTHOUSE — Real Estate Transfers Otto F. Sprunger et ux. in lot i 139. Berne, to Henry M.
