To House of Henry Young at South

The house of Henry Young, at South
Woodstock. was damaged to the ex-
tent of about $500 by a fire that broke
out about 10. 80 Saturday morning.
That the loss was not very much
heavier was due to the rapid and eff
fectiVe manner in which an operator
in the Putnam telephone exchange,
after receiving notice of the fire, sent
hurry calls for aid over the wires to
Mr.. Young's neighbors, about forty of
whom responded and by valiant work
in the bitter cold. using fire extinguish-
ers, pals. etc. got the fire under con-
troll Mr. Young may credit his small
loss, first to the efficiency of the tele-
phone service, secondly to the willing
response that it brought.

Los Angeles, Cal, June Not only
did Packcy Mcfarland prove himself
the better fighter in the recent so with
Matt Wells, but he also demonstrated
that when it comes to business deal
ings the Chicago boy stands head and
shoulders over his adversary. In max
ing the arrangements for the battle,
Wells agreed to take so percent Of
the gross for his share, and out Of
that amount pay to Mcfarland $40 000

readily accepted this proposition. When

Wells had only s29T4-50 and a good

money. You and Wells viii draw bet

you'u throw away" Mcfarland didn't

mine in advance; he's got to take a

Now that the smoke Of battle has
cleared away and the returns are in,
we can tell at a glance which of the
pair was tho shreWdest in the end
Wells was probably carried away by
the returns Of his fight with Knockout
Brown, which were about $1,000 in ex-
cess of what the Mcfarland bout yield
ed. He had figured that no less than
4 $4,000 house would be present, and
in that event he would break even with
Packey. If he went over that figure
he would be the winner.

the scene he registered big kick at
the audacity of Jack Curley for daring
to select a training camp out of town;
Jack wanted to be near the people and
all the bright lights, that his subtle
nature might not be spoiled. He wanted
to be amused.
If We remember rightly that was the
case with Jim Jeffries when he was
training at Marian Springs, near Reno,
for his famous contest with Johnson.
JEFF had actors and others there to
amuse him, just to keep his nerves
right Now Jack is following in Jim's
footsteps as regards being amused, and
so forth, and it seems queer that he
should be following in the path Of the
man who met such an ignOminiOus de-
feat at his hands Does il mean the
same kind of an ending for the cOlored

is drawing to a close, those interested
in the College diamond would perhaps

a dash, and with their splendid team
work and the great SLAB work of VIII
sou. defeated all of the colleges ex-
cept the Aegies. Later this game was
thrOwh out because Of Bamey's in
eligibility
Boulder Was looked upon to make a
great showing this year, but for some
unknown reason dropped away down
the percentage column.
Denver has made a creditable show
ing so far, winning from Colorado Col
lege and the Aggies, and losing only
to the Mines. Owing to some conflict
of dates, both games with the Aggies
were forfeited to Denver
The Colorado College Tigers have
picked up considerably since the first

and Denver, then won both games from
Boulder and one from the Aggies.
The Aggies started out in nice form

ing the twirling for them, but he was
protested by the conference on the
grounds of faulty scholarship and
had to leave school Ever since then
the Farmers have slowly gone to
pieces
The Sacred Heart college nine has
played exceptionally fine ball but they
do not belong to the intercollegiate
conference, hence their standing does
not appear in the percentage column

games is concerned, they can claim the
championship of the state. but they are
not considered in the intercollegiate
race.
