What is the boxer of today coming
to? For the past two years the box
ing promoters and critics of New YORK
have been bowling for decision bouts
some Of them have advocated return
to the Horton law days, when 20 ROUND
battles with referees decisions were
given.
Along comes New Orleans with 20
round contests and later Kansas CITY
falls i'm line with Is round bouts, botn
with referees decisions. Now the
promoters i'm the southern metropolis
and the kaw City complain that they
find it almost impossible TO get the
stars to perform for them except at
eXorbitant prices. on account of the
giving OF decisions.
They prefer the sure-thing game
the 10 round, nO-decisiOn game-where
there is not much chance OF losing
title or reputation. II IS surely a sau
state of affairs for boxing when many
OF the stars are afraid to take a
chance in even a Is round contest As
a result Of the actions Of some OF the
alleged stars, the promoters of Kansas
City and New Orleans are thinking of
cutting out decisions and adopting the
nO-decisiOn rule. No wonder Australia
is ahead of this country when II comes
to holding real boxing matches. The

SAYS CAR OPERATION
WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER

In these days Of war prices when
many auto owners are thinking or
talking Of storing their machines be-
cause OF the alleged high cost Of oper-
ating them, It is decidedly refreshing
TO receive a statement like the one
made by Ira VI. Duensing, the manager
Of the local Savage company. Mr.
Duensing claims that taking automo-
biles as a whole, they will be operated
more cheaply this year than ever be-
fore
He stated further that any advances
I'm prices of gasoline, oil or other &C
cessories are, after all, Of but minor
Importance when compared to the many
needless expenses which motorists
used to stand before they knew op-
Grating methods as they do now. Cor
rect adjustment Of all carburetors
would mean more 10 car owners than
a 20 per cent decrease in the price OF
gasoline and oil. Tires not cared for
and improper methods Of starting and
driving, formerly cost a great deal
more than the amounts represented by
any advances I'm accessory costs. There
are more good drivers in the United
States today than ever as a result
there will not only be more cars used
in 1916, but these cars will be operated
Just as cheaply if not more cheaply,
than they ever were. Other things
that will help keep down operating
costs are increased efficiency of auto
mobiles and the improved quality Of
tires.
The tire and accessory business was
a little slow in picking up after the
natural quiet OF the winter months
this year, but with the coming OF good
weather, a very satisfactory volume Of
business has followed all along the
line.

dollars should be the limit unless for
exceptional matches.
DfIIOn's the Beareat.
There is no longer any doubt as to
who holds the light heavyweight
championship. Jack Dillon, the Hoo
sier bearcat, is the title-hOlder and no
one appears overanxiOus to dispute his
claim Jack claimed the title some
time ago. but there was one man who
also insisted on having a lOOkin, and
that person was Battling Levinsky of
New York The Battler had given
Jack a couple Of stiff arguments and
he felt sure he could do better over
a longer route. Wen, they met az
Kansas City for a Is round contest,
and Dillon was given the referees de
cision. which was also a pretty good
way to put the official stamp of ap-
provaI on Jacks claim to the title. 1t
is interesting to note that Jess Willard
was present and saw Jack win the
crown Asked afterwards what he
thought Of Dillon, the big heavyweight
champion said: He is a wonderful
man for his size It is too bad he is
not 20 or 25 pounds heavier. To my
mind he is too small to cope success
fully with a man of my size and
build" There has been a great deal
OF talk about Dillon meeting Willard
for the heavyweight title. but if the
Hcosier fighter is wise ne will forget
about such a match. Willard is alto
gether too big and strong for a man
of DillOns size and weight. Jack had
better be content with one title. II
he must seek another he could better

CARS To
ADVANCE PRICE
Second Hand Market Bene
fits From Brisk Demands
For New Models.

Many people do not realize that
every time the price Of new car is
increased by the factory, the price Of
a used car of that make advances ac-
cordingly Instead OF getting cheaper
new cars are going up in price and
this is making the demand for used
cars unusually good" said Wolf Lon
dener.
1.-THE demand for new cars particu-
IarIy the lighter models, has exceeded
an the expectations Of manufacturers.
Even Henry Ford with his 100000 pro
duction is unable to keep up with the
demand. Overland. Maxwell, Dodge and
other factories building light cars are
simply swamped with orders.
"This has caused scarcity or ma
terial and the men controlling the ma
terial market are naturally poosIlme
prices and reaping their harvest no
keen from going broke. the factories
have simply had to raise their prices.
MANY woWldbe motorists have de-
clded that they viii wait a year Tot
a new car and viii get used one
As n result the used car dealers are
doing a bigger business than ever pc
fore and the prices are holding up
we'll We are able to offer a certain
number of bargains, however, ana we
find a number Of regulars who look
over the used car supply daily Just
as a housewife looks over the market
gardeners offerings.
"But buyers Of used cars want quar-
fly. Just as the buyer Of a new car.
When an owner takes his old car 10
the used car market he isn't over par
ticular about fixing IL up This mas
meant that we have had to install a
complete repair plant with as much
equipment as a regular garage We
have TO overhaul and the cars and put
them I'm perfect running condition Ana
then the buyer wants appearance. That
means q paint shop so the modern used
car dealer must be prepared not only
10 repair but 10 practically rebuild and
rcpaint his cars. We have now one OF
the most complete plants i'm the west
