WOMEN READY
TO WELD SPADE

Mrs. William A. McGraw. The
only woman on the mayors potato
patch committee, holds herself in
readiness to help any one dig up
his back yard and plant II not only
directing the work but using the
spade herself
Mrs. McGraw has labored al this
movement for many years and says
that the prospects 81 war. as well
as high prices, have given il great
impetus. AS enc OF the leading on
GERS OF the Detroit branch or the
National Plant. Flower and Fruit
guild, she is acquainted with most
Of the back yards OF Detroit and
known where 70 lay her hand on
unused ground. She has created
the Patriotic Garden bureau and
Patriotic Garden school, combining
the guild with the Twentieth Cen
fury School Gardening committee
and an ONCE will be opened In the
Twentieth Century club building,
Columbia and Witherell-sts.. which
will act as a clearing house for the
gardening work undertaken In De
| troit.
IN is not our purpose said Mrs
McGraw, ito interfere with any 9th
or organization work but 10 co
operate Anybody may come snc
give or receive help. We will also

FIRST BOUT TO NET
ONE MILION-JESS

Chicago, Dec 19.--Jess Willard ad-
mitted yesterday that his contemplated
return to the ring would net at least
81 900, 900 for the Red Cross-the pro-
fits from a single fight.
This champ said he thought the pro-
ceeds from the movies of the bout
if any are allowed-would amount
to that much, In fact, while the fight
itself would draw one of the biggest
gates" of all time.
Jess will fight anybody, anywhere,
any time-just so it is not before next
summer, and under any conditions
just so the public is pleased. He pre-
| fers a big city, however, as he be-
lieves if the fight were held in small
place that $1.O00,000 might suffer.
Yesterday Jess received a telegram
signed THE Chamber of Commerce OF
Sacramento, CAL" inviting the chamI
( to stage his bout in that city, Offering
/ two blocks Of the capitol extension
! grounds for an arena, and promising
an attendance of $4,000. 1t intimated

before the Tocula Athletic club at

verdict of the majority Of the news

Richie held Dundee even in the Sec
ond round but outside Of this session
Dundee led in every round, taking the
first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, sew
enth, eighth, ninth and tenth rounds.
Those who saw Richie fight Roy
Moore are Of the opinion that Dundee
handed him a worse beating than the
St Paul flash was able to administer.
Dundee used both his left and right
mitts effectively and continually
scored about Ritchie's face. In fac!
Ritchie's nose was black and blue
from continual punching at the end
OF the fray. Dundee finished the
stronger Of the two, showing he was
in splendid condition for the bout
All Of the 10 rounds were Chock full
OF action and the bout was one OF the
best TO be staged here in many
months. Ed Purdy Of Chicago, who
refereed tho match. gave Richie &
draw, but the neutral critics at th'
ringside hold that Purdy stretched
things a bit TO give the Windy city
battler an even break
