The different sections in the west are attracting
thousands of settlers who need towns that will sup
ply their needs
These sections produce wonderful crops which
bring the best prices on the markets-which means
that the producers will demand not only LIES

limited opportunities for the with money to

Dawson In Mdrn0n Cor
Wins 2OO-Mile CODE Race
BuRMAN IN BUICK ON ACCOUNT OF
TIRE TROUBLE LOSES FIRST
PLACE AT 1876 MILES AND FIN
IsHEs SECOND

Indianapolis Ind, July 4-Dawson,
driving Marmon car, snatched the vic
tory from Burman, with a Marquette
Buick, in the last five miles of the an
nual 2O0-mile race for the Cobe trophy
at the motor speedway today. Burman,
who had led nearly all the long way.
flashed over the wire of the electrical
timing machine only three seconds be-
hind the winner A pause for new tire
in the 195th mile cost him the race.
Harroun (Marmon) was a close third.
Louis Chevrolet (Marquette-Buick), who
won the Cobe event over the Crown
Point, Ind. road course last year, fin
shed fifth, behind Grant (Alco) fourth.
The American speedway record for the
distance and for cars of the class of 500
cubic inches piston displacement was cut
down from 2:53:4 81 to 2:43 :20.14.
Undeterred by rain that had fallen since
early morning thousands of people were
in the stands when the IA entrants lined
up for the big feature of the motor
meet The race had been delayed be-
cause the track was greasy with oil and
water and team managers would not risk
the lives of their drivers on the treach-
erous turns of the brick course until 1t
had been swept. Arthur Chevrolet MAR
auette- Buick took the lead at the START
with Burman second and the field strung
out. After 80 miles Chevrolet began to
have tire trouble and lost first place TO
Burman. He got the lead back 20 miles
further on but did not held it.
From then on for miles the race was
carousal for Burman. He did not stop
once until the 1S0th mile, when his front
tire blew up. He made quick change
without losing first place, but 10 miles
further on the new tire gave way un-
der the strain and had to be replaced
and Dawson, who had been steadily
pressing in. darted to the lead and
to the final triumph
The burning effect of the brick pave
ment on the tires put many of the en-
trants many laps behind. Others had mo-
tor troubles. Grant and the Chevrolet
brothers made a hard fight against stub
born mechanical resistance and dropped
behind several laps.
Hearn with a Benz won the 20-mlle
free-for-all and broke the American speed
way record for the distance His time
was 14:06.72. against the former record
of 15:31s, set by Robertson in Fiat at
Atlanta Aitken in a National was sec
ond and Burman in a Buick third.

Ringside, July 4.-Jack johnson is the
heavyweight champion pugilist. He
knocked out Jeffries in the fifteenth round
here today.
The fight was one-sded from the start.
The negro blocked the old champion
blows at every stage of the game and
punished him severely in the last five
rounds of the fighting.
When Jeffries was led back to his cor
ner after his defeat by Corbett, Samuel
Berger and Jack Jeffries, he was still
dazed. Johnson stood in the center of the
ring and received the congratulations OF
Billy Delaney and his other seconds. AS
he talked to Delaney he was breathing
absolutely normal He was not hurt. Sig.
Hart said to the champion: Go over and
shake hands with the poor old fellow,
Jack"
mo. don't owe him anything now
said Johnson.
Later he went to the corner of Jeffries.
but Jim Corbett and Jack O. Brien waved
him away When he returned to his own
corner the crowd in the ring was so dense
that the police had to beat them back,
corner was John l.. Sullivan.
johnson Not Scratched
johnson walked out of the ring without
a mark on his body except slight cut
on his lip which was the opening of q
wound received in training.
Ring experts agree that 1t was not even
a championship fight. Jeffries had a
chance in the second round, perhaps, but
after the sixth it was plain that he was
weakened and outclassed in every point
and after the eleventh round it was hope
less.
After the third round Johnson treated
his opponent almost as joke. He smiled
and blocked playfully Jeffries blows,
warding off the bear-like rushes of JEFF
fries with a marvellous science, now tuck
ing a blow under his arm, again plucklng
1t out of the air. as a man stops base
ball
There was no evidence or hint of yell
low streak in Johnson, and he proved
himself so absolutely Jeffries' master that
experts such as w Corbett, the Austral-
ian sporting writer and ring expert, said
that Tommy Burns had put up a better
fight against Johnson and that the black
man was only playing with the white
man.
The end was swift and terrible. 1t
looked as though johnson had been mold
ing nlmSelr unQeT cover tiiC iSSN - 80
time. and now that he had measured
Jeffries in all his weakness he had deter
mined to stop it quickly
Jeffries had lost the power of DEFENSE
A series of right and left uppercuts de-
liyered at will sent him staggering to the
ropes. He turned and fought back by
instinct as though he was dying hard
With the exception of few fast rounds
the fight was tame. Jeffries did not nave
the power in his punch to hurt Johnson
after he had received blow after blow on
the jaw, and his vital power was ebbing
Events of this stage came faster than
Jeffries could control. Blows almost all
of them landed with all speed taken out
of them. 1t was like hitting a punching
bag.
The Jeffries crouch was in evidence al
times, but during most of the fight JET
fries fought standing straight ana WORK
ing with something of his old aggressive
ness.
