much interest attaches to Mr. Holcomb's
decentralization.
Mr.. Holcornb's play Is in four acts.
The first is founded upon Blackmore's
later story. slain by the Doones"-the

ground" lying between the counties of
Devonshire and Exmoor for which
reason. well as because of a whole
some dread of the Doones. the authorities
OF both countries excuse themselves from
prosecuting the murders. John Ridd,
therefore, swearS vengeance upon his

In the second act. John Ridd visits

It is NOT a pleasure jaunt by
any means-IT IS Al VERY
SERIOUS BUSINESS that the
advertising men have in hand.
of course, there will be some
pleasure thrown in, because it is
impossible for gathering of
men not to wish to have some
recreation mixed in with an edu-
cational conference, so the pro-
gramme includes a lot of special
pleasure features that have been
planned by the hospitable New
Englanders for the entertain
ment of the visitors.
It is expected that there will
be from 1000 to $500 men from
all parts Of the country present,
and THAT MEANS THAT
THERE WILL BE AT LEAST
FROM 1000 TO $500 NEW
SUGGESTIONS made as to how
the advertising profession, as a
whole, may be improved and
how the work of the members
of the profession may be made
more efficient.
Now, 1000 to $500 new ideas
about how to improve the bust
ness of manufacturers and mer-
chants ARE A GREAT MANY.

Tulsa, Ok, June 21.-B. F. Ufer, pro-
moter Of the Carl Morris-Jim Flynn
fight, scheduled to be held at Tulsa
July 4 issued a statement last night
that the fight would not be fought in
Oklahoma.
Governor Cruces OPPOSITION to the
fight taking place in Oklahoma is de-
clared by Mr.. Ufer to be sufficient rea-
son why it should not be held in the
state
The fight will be fought in some 9TH
er city at some later date. he says.
According to Mr.. Ufer, the training
camp he established for Carl Norris
here, soon after he bought the con-
tract for the engineer, will be deserted
as soon as suitable quarters for the
summer can be found. He says he may
take Morris to Europe.
A number Of Oklahoma City business
men have asked that the fight be held
there, saying that the law is faulty
and they wish the Morris-F'Iynn match
for test case. Business men here are
indignant over the action taken by the
governor. They say that the fight fans
at Sapulpa, jealous because they los~
Morris, have caused the step.

Topeka infield. It is probable that
the salary Hopke was pulling down
was too large for the club to stand.
Thomson made a hard try for a
fly ball off Meinke's bat in the fourth
frame. The little Kaw came in from
deep center on the dead run and got
his mitts on the ball when it was
about a foot from the ground. He was
overbalanced when he touched the
ball and of course he failed to hold
it, but the try was worth applause
and Tommy got it from the stands.
He is one of the hardest working gar
denerS in the league.
