Surgeon, Who Sav Champion
Work, Says He Packs Harder
Blow Than Mule
BETTING ODDS FALL HERE
Dr. John It. Denver, the Mirgron,
would rather be kicked by n mule than
punched by Jack DompFcy.
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.
Although Dr. Deaver linsn't the least
doubt In the world that the champion
ship will stay in the United Stntes.
I'hllndelphla's betting fraternity docs
not seem quite so certain.
Retting Ilrislc Rut Small
Ip around Rroad and Chestnut
streets today, where the handbook men
are familiar figures, there was a good
deal of surmise and conjecture and un
certainty over the outcome of tho fight.
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. "I look on him as a
sure winner. Dempsev is a perfect man.
physically mil anatomically speaking.
Ills diivlng muscles are tremendous."
Here Dr. Dcner illustrated the mus
cles he meant the heavj muscles of
the shoulders and hack and the deltoid
muscles at the top of the shoulders.
"I have seen linn light before and
(hat, coupled with my obserwitious of
the other day. mnkes me think there is

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.
In actual fighting a number of planes
attacking in formation would take their
chance with the anti-air craft guns nnd

IIOUIKI H y
Richard Weglein. as defender of the
combine majority in Council, alluded
today to Mayor Moore us an "artful
dodger." nnd said he was gnd the Mayor
had dccHlid on an orderly and legal
procedure" in carrying out Council's
wishes regarding municipal Rtrcet
cleaning.
The president of ('nm)rlli smartlm?
under Mr. Moore s statement that he
was piad there were eight men in Coun-
ii who could not be bought, demanded
that the .Mayor .substantiate his "in
nuendoes." , Mr, u''.8,,''s declaration followed
the Mayors statement, which said in
substance, the combine majority should
.lean out us own house before talking
of an investigation of the Mayor
which Mr. Moore defied it to make.
Council's defeat of tho Administra

Weglein's Statement
Mr. Weglein's statement follows:
"Somehow or other, when I read the
Mayor's very latest statement, the de
scriptive title given by Charles Dickens
tn one of his characters comes to my
mind (he 'artful dodger' ns describ
ing one who runs around Robin Hood's
burn
"Speuking seriouHl.v. I hnvc carefully
. studied the Muyor's statement ns it ap-
I peared in the morning newspapers and
I fail to hud iu it unv explanation of his
innuendo, namely, that thirteen men in
Coui.cil aie bought.
1 "I icitctate to you. Mr. Muvor of
Philadelphia, that if you nre an honest
1 miiti you will substantiate your innuen-
; dn s. made in public, that there arc only
eight unboiight men in City Council.
"The root of the present trouble, as
veil us the ioui of dissension jn. the
past, is the tuilure of the executive and
''gislutive branches, of the city gnvern
iii' nt to work together.
"It may be nf interest (o tile people
of Philadelphia to be reminded of state
mi tits made bv two City Coimcllmeii
during the lust year.
"In Jinn. 11)111. the Mayor saw fit
lo veto an ordinance winch would hnve
nermitte,! the Philadelphia Transporta
tion Co to operate busses on Rroad

Councilman Develin.
