Morris Mahoncy Discovers
That Weigh Lacking "Pep"
Takes Count
U

v
Thlrty-socn to twenty-sex cn H hlg
odds to a nghter. especially to the fel
low on the lone end as was Morris
Mahoncy jcitorday. Jtahoncy was a
famous flcliter once upon a time. Ho
traveled In fast company, anyhow, and
fought I'hlladelphla Jack O'Brien fix
rounds In Heading, l'a. Now he's a
reamer at the Cramp shipyard.
Mahoney hapn't been looking for a
flRht in nhout nine sears. When they
got to pairing the Cramp bot In the
shipyard ring twice a week, Mahoney
got the fexer again and ruccumbed yes
terday when he tackled Young Jack
DempFcy, of the erecting department.
.Mahoney had the adxantagc of about
ten pdunds but age wiped that out
; A reminder that he was not what he
used to be came In the first round when
Dempscy'n v'ght eclipsed his left eye.
A few secondR later, the old war horse's
nose got into trouble. But Mahoney
stuck gamelv to tho foe through three
hard rounds of two minutes each, and
got In a few rights to the face that
woefully lacked steam. Toward the end,
T)empscy got his -man In a neutral cor
ner and slugged him until both fell In
a heap with Referee Kovle tring to
save the old timer from a trip to dream
land. The other bout, between Johnnie
Dougherty, crane operator, and Jim
mie Bergcr, electrician, furnished lots of
sport for the shlpworkers. Dougherty
carried the fight to Berger all the way
through, and was once stopped with
left jab He kept Berger moxing con
ctantly backward, and several times
beat him aralnst the ropes Berger
managed to come back strong each
time and In the clinches took a lot of
punishment.

' PRAISE ELECTRIC WELDING
"Coming Thing in Shipbuilding," Saja
E. F. C. Official
To maintain supremacy in hlp con
struction after the war, American ship
yards must eventually adopt the electric
welding process In building steel ships
for the merchant marine, was the Uecla
' ration made today bv H. A Horner
speaking for the welding committee of
, the Emergency Fleet Corporation, in a
i statement on the results of experiments
already made at Hog island and other
yards.
J, L. Ackerson, vice pre.-ldent of the
Fleet Corporation, characterized the
welding process as "the coming thing,
which has made tremendous sttides in
tho last two years and which is boiikd to
be developed to the point where it will
'come into general use.
Klectrlo welding, which already haB
proved 'a successful substitute for rivet
ing as far as it has been carried, will
revolutionize shipbuilding In, the future"
he added. "Just when that time vvfll
come no one Is in position to say. The
Emergency Fleet Corporation in the ex
perlments it is carrying out is the fore,
jrrost exponent of the process in this
country."
" Mr. Horner, who Is head of the elec-trtcal-w
elding branch of the education
and training section. Industrial relations
group of the Fleet Corporation, Is con
vinced as to the superiority of welding
over the riveting method, and is now
about to establish the corporation's
fourth school in Philadelphia,
