This fight has been the chief topic of conversation in pigilistic cricles for many weeks past. With the exception of his bout with Brehnan in 1921, this is the sole occasion on which anyone has been found to last out the champion since he won the title from Jess Wilhird four years ago.]

FIGHT DESCRIBED.
DEMPSEY'S OLD-TIME STEAM GONE..
GIBBONS VERY ELUSIVE.
“ILATER"
"Gibbons' weight was 12 stone 71⁄2 lbs. and Dempsey's 13 stone 6 lbs. Dempsey relied chiefly un body blows and left and right hooks to the jaw and head. He had the better of the early rounds, although in the second Gibbons with a left: hook opened the cut over Dempsey's eye. Gibbons was elusive and smart, dodging and ducking. At time the champion attacked viciously, but Gibbons catered up and clinched to avoid punishment
Dempsey's punishing body blows weakened Gibbous, but Dempsey appears to have lost some of his old-time steam, probably through his long lay off
The weather was very hot, There were 6000 spectators. Contrary to general expectation, Gibbons made a good fight against the title holder. He out-boxed Dempsey in several rounds and fought. The fight was the biggest financial failure to with the utmost gameness throughout.

LONDON, July 4
It is understood that the cabinet this morning heard Lord Curzon's account of discussions with the French and Belgian Ambassadors yesterday with regard to the Ruhr regarding which offical circles are very secretive in view of the undesirability of -emphasising the differences between the Allies.
It is admitted that the situation is difficult and the present conversations have a decisive bearing on Anglo-French relations.

The weather at Wimbledon was glorious. There was an enormous attendance, including the
Duke and Duchess of York. In the semi-finals Hanter beat Gordon Lowe 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 Lowe was very slow in the first set. Hunter profited thereby and drove to the base, line and corners. In many. instance Lowe did not attempt to reach the ball. In
the second set Lowe adopted a policy of lobbing Hunter back to the base and led 5-3, but Hunter played finely, winning against the service for a load of 65. In the last set Hunter made some fine drives backhand to the comer.
