[BY ROST. MACWHIRTER, )
Somebody has said that the con- versation of some folk was merely a nervous habit like twiddling the thumbs. Certainly lots of us have had occasion at ens time or another to wish that a little more was known about talking as a symptom so that the right folk might be induced to take the cure.
Now to suggest to a babbling friend that he or she should see a doctor would be but to add a new enemy to an already overial list, and, what's more forbye, more than likely the question of the critic's own sanity would be raised.

Thereafter the relative positions changed. Dempsey recovered and held the centre. Both dropped caution and slams to the jaw and body were frequent and heavy. In this Dempsey acquitted himself very creditably and scored points before sending down Tunney in the 7th round for a count of nine. He ad ministered a severe pounding when the champion Arase.

He had Dempsey practically knocked out as the bell rang, when Dempsey's face was hideous with blood, while the champion, facially, was comparatively unruffled.
EARLIER TELEGRAMS,
CHICAGO, Sept. 2nd. Tunney won on points. Dempsey weighed in at 1993 pounds, and Tunney at 1981 Dempsey's weight surprised the critics, being four pounds less than was predicted, but it is accepted as an indication of "the ex-champion's excellent condition.
A doctor declared him a remark, able specimen, with no trace of high blood pressure.
