Dempsey of Utah, claimant of the
heavyweight championship, knocked
out Carl Morris of Oklahoma,in the
first round of their scheduled 20
round bout here tonight after one
minute of fighting.
The knockout blow was a short
left hook to the stomach, delivered
during "a period of hard in-fighting.
Many of the 7000 spectators believed
for a time that Morris had slipped
and fallen, as the blow waa visible
only to those near the ringside.
The bout started with a brisk ex
change of short jabs. After break
ing from the first clinch, Dempsey
rushed Morris near the ropes and
during the ln-flghtlng delivered the
final blow.: Morris did not regain
consciousness for four minutes.
Dempsey weighed In at 185 pounds
land Morris at 220. They received
400O and $1250 respectively. The
Utah boxer was a favorite in the bet
ting, as high as rive to one being
offered that he would knock out
Mortis, and six to five that the Okla
homaa would not last three rounds.
The bout waa held In an open-air
arena.

3UIXIONS FOR UVESTOCK.
Three million dollars an hocr Is
the record-breaking sum paid farm
ers of the country in November,
1518, for live stock used for meit
purposes, according to an estimate
made by experta at the recent Inter
national Livestock Exposition at
Chicago.
Producers recovered more than
IS7.000.000 for hogs sold In the
Chicago market last month. This
estimate is based on the arrival of
900,000 bogs at the local stock
yards, the minimum market price of
which was fixed by the government
at 117.50 a hundred pounds.
Livestock experts declare that the
farmers now aro receiving more than
twice aj much for their hogs as be
fore the war and their shipments are
from. 10 'to. IS per cent above nor
mal. Tho prices of cattle and shep
also have Increased enormously,
compared with pre-war figures.
These estimates are based on a
I seven-hour ticestock buying day at
the Chicago union stock yards and a
six-day week.
