The first bout towards the revival
of the manly art in Savannah will
take place in the arena of the Sa-
vannah Athletic Association next FRI
day night, when two old-time rival
bantams will come together in ten
round contest.
Articles of agreement between Jack
williams, better known as Young
Dempsey, and Charley Sullivan, or
"Cuban Joe" were signed yesterday
and the boys went to work at once
to get themselves in readiness for the
battle.
Young Dempsey has just returned
from trip to Memphis. where he
met Kid Young and defeated him in
three rounds. He also went to New
Orleans, where he fought in Psrson
Davies new club, defeating Sid Cum
mings i'm a fast six-round bout, and
putting Frank Maloney out in the sec
ond round of what was to have been
a ten-round go. Dempsey has made
wonderful Improvement and has de-
veloped a punch that bids fair to
bring him up into the professional
class of bantams.
Cuban Joe has been busy also for
the last few months, and when he
came back to Savannah a week ago
and found that Young Dempsey was
here spelling for fight he sent word
that he was willing 10 take him on for
ten rounds for 500 a side, and all of
the door money Dempsey could not
get down quick enough and the terms
of the go have been arranged.
The last bout between these two
bantams was one of the best ever
pulled of In this class I'm savannah.
For six rounds the youngsters en-
gagged in a cyclonic struggle and the
decision at the end of the sixth round
was that the go was a draw. Both
boys we're dissatisfied with the result
and have been seeking meeting ever
since. Since that time both have
had many hard battles and are better
than they ever were before.

to the ground, ready for one of the
fastest miles ever made over a Chatham
county road. The first trial of the ma
chine is best told in Mr.. Westcott's
own language.
Il knew she was a powerful little
flyer. L was afraid to let her out at
first, and too, l wanted some of the
fellows who had been kidding me to
see her run. l was bowling along Just
the other side of the Red Dragon, with
only one notch let out. 1 never be-
lieved she could run that fast, even with
all speed on. AS l got within about a
half mile of the Red Dragon, coming
this way, some of the fast fellows
seemed to be trying to run over each

and was so small, / decided that they
would just about run over me. / hitch

started to running. They gained on

felt her squat and make tremendous
bound, and I grew desperate and in
the excitement of the moment 1 showed
the lever clean out. l don't know ex-
actly what happened, nor do I know
how much damage 1 did along the road,
but l certainly was running some. /

CHARGE AGAINST HARRoD
But His Name Will Stay i'm the List
of COmmiSsfonera


Washington, Feb. 25.-President
Roosevelt has completed practically
the personnel of the Isthmian Canal
commission. Assurances have hesn
received by the President that C.
Ewald Grunsky, the San Francisco
hydraulic engineer, who was rendered
an appointment after the declination
of Mr.. CARRIER, will accept, although
his formal acceptance has not been re-
ceived.
1t is very probable that the seventh
member of the commission, as hereto
fore indicated by the Associated Press
will be Benjamin M. Harrod of New
Orleans, member of the Mississippi
River Commission. Some charges
were made against Mr.. Harrod. in
volving his capacity, rather than his
integrity, but thus far they are not
taken very seriously by the President.
Indeed, it is known that the Presi-
dent has received from excellent
sources the most cordial eommenda
ton of Mr.. Harrod, and of his ability.
In the circumstances, therefore, it is
entirely likely that this name will re-
main on the Presidents list of COM
missioners.
