Dr. Dcaver is famous for his almost unennny skill at swift diagnosis. He saw the champion in action at the shore day before yesterday and looked him over with the trained eje of nn anat omist and surgeon, though he did not make n physical exnminntion of the lighter. The surgeon's verdict i that Dcmp cy is pliysicnllv perfeet and in the prime of condition. He believes tho fight will end in the first round, nnd by a knorkout.

Retting was brisk enough there nnd in the customary resorts of the gamblers, but the amounts wagered were not large. Odds in favor of Demney are tumbling. However, there "nothing to it." in the opinion of Dr. Deaver Dempsey is n sure-fire winner. Dr. Drnver was fatigued with a long morning nt the operating tabid in the University Hospital when he was nsked to express tils opinion on the chances of the champion. His face lit up with enthusiasm and he smiled as lie recalled his trip to tho champion's training quarters. "I think Demps-cy will knock him out in the fit a-t round." lie said en thusiastically.

ATTACK ON IOWA T Despite Reports, Bombing Proves Value of Planes Battling Against Warship MASS ASSAULT EFFECTIVE R.v CLINTON W. GILBERT silnn Cnrrriiianilrnt KtriilnR I'fMIr IiUrr ronvriaht. 10SI, bv rubUc Lidorr Co. Washington. July 1. The news dis tiatches from the sea regarding the air attack with fake bombs upon the bat tleship Iowa give only a faint Idea of the importance of what was revealed. The fact that only two direct hits are known to have been scored tends to minimize the importance of -the air weapon against the navy. These two hlls were scored in the one salvo fired by five airplanes passing over the Iown in formation und dropping seventeen bombs all at once. These bombs dropped nil around the battleship, two striking her. It was the best work of the ciitWc tests so far. When it was over a foreign observer, watching the action through his glnsses. exclaimed : "Thnt salvo will revolutionize air at tacks upon warships. It was magnifi cent." L , - The two hits scored were the lenst pnrt of it. The bombs dropped close to the Iowu on all sides, and It was the opinion of air observers that the bombs fulling in the water would have done more damage than those striking the ship, since they struck so close ns to imperil her in the wny a submarine mine would by exploding close to her unprotected sides below the nrmor belt. Single Pianos Not So Effective The conclusion was) reached th'at at tacks upon unviil vessels should be by airplanes in close formation dropping bombs li snlvos. Siugle plnnes flying over a ship nnd dropping one bomb at a time were not regarded ns ef fective. It would be largely chance whether a plane thus attacking a ship would be successful. The attack on the Iowa did not. of course, closely simulate war conditions. In the first place cement bombs are not as carefully made nor as sure mis siles' as true bombs. It is more difficult to core hits with them. Then, too, the lequiremenl thnt the nirplaues should lly -1000 feet above the ship attacked would not exist in war, although the oretically n plane flying lower would he in danger of nntl-air craft fire from the warships.
