A re public worth living in is worth living for. and a republic worth defending Is worth our patriotic vigilance." The president delivered his address at Multnomah field.

Perhaps the child thought it was some strange new game being playe< by these naked white men, and in a manner of *-]»eahing so if was.

I hit him solid smashes on the aw and on the body—but Tommy held to his feet and fought on. said Jack Dempsey, after he suc ■ >-ssfuily defended his title here today. "My only regret is that Tommy wouldn't mix it more in the last five or six rounds I wanted to slug It with him and put my present day punch to a real test. Rut Tommy used hi* ring intelligence and just ran from one clinch into another. And when he wasn't doing that he w as footing it around. "They used to say he was a smart fighter. I'll add my testimonial to that. And I want to say that in addi tion to being smart. Tommy is game and courageous, and certainly one of the tough- st men to hit with a solid blow that I've ever fought." Wants Another Chance Tommy Gibbons said: "JAdt Dempsey s greater physical strength, coupled with his greater wrestling ability, beat me this after noon. "I went Into the thing thinking that it was to be a match under Marquis of Queensbury rules, hut I wasn't in there very long bef-.re I cot the idea that it was a Graeco Roman. or catch as catch-can.
