The Herald's extra edition, issued
on Saturday, giving the details of
the big Dempsey-Carpentier cham
pionship fight, made a great hit with
those interested in matters pugilistic
in the Mt. Scott district.
While the Herald does not particu
larly approve of prizefights, and
while we realize that such contests
serve primarily to enrich the coffers
of a few parasites who would be far
more useful to society if they were
pounding rock for a living, there is
no gainsaying the fact that there was
much interest displayed in the bout.
The Herold tried to arrange with
