and more than once have I been con-
WINGED that they have intelligence,
too. 1 began to see the leaning will
low apart from the oak and to recog-
nize the species and their peculiarities
and distinguishing traits and features.
There were the willow, the soft maple.
the sycamore, the birch, the
elm, to be seen always along the
streams. They Rugged the water line,
and in times of overflow they were
su bmergeC-the willows often to their
tops, but the other to the waistline.
The swift mountain currents broke
against them, but their rigid trunks
stood fast. Unless some treacherous
undercurrent cut away their footing,
they came off victorious from the
battle with the water gods.
Back from the immediate shoreline
of the Licking in my day stood other
beautiful trees In the rich soil of the
bottoms were found the black walnut,
the larger sycaInores, the beech, the
hard maple or sugar tree, the linden,
the blackberry, the ash, and a pro-
fusion of pawpaw and other shrubs.
There was also the buckeye-in such
locations a towering forest tree. Often
the crowns of these trees would be
thickly matted with the vines of the
native grape. At the foot of the hills
began the oaks and the hickories. And,
too, the beech and the sugar tree kept
up the mountains as the land re-
manned fertile, The chestnut oak
grew along the upper reaches of the
hills on the sterile and rocky lands.
Along the mountain tops grew the
pine-aDd rarely at any other place.
If there was rich cove about the
headwaterS of stream, there we
found the cucumber tree-a species of
magnolia-one of the finest of our
forests.

BY his knockout OF Battling Levin
sky in three rounds at Philadelphia,
Jack Dempsey, the classy heavyweight
from the Pacific coast, has done much
10 redeem his recent defeat at the
hands Of Willie Meehan in san Fran
cisco, a fight engineered by pugllictic
politics
Like many another fighter, Dempsey
went into what he thought was a soft
chance to pick up some change in a
short contest.
He met the surprise OF his lofe.
With Indifferent training, he went
against a man who was In the best OF
shape, through his summers work as
boxing instructor at The navy yard in
San Francisco.
The loss Of the decision was the
result.
The lesson was taken home by
Dempsey, and he trained steadily for
his fight with Levinsky, another box
ing instructor from an army camp
near New York, and whose condition
was equal TO Meehan's.
A three-round knockout proved the
difference.
Since the beginning Of the year,
Dempsey has eliminated, with the ex-
ceptlon Of Meehan, III the heavies Of
prominence between him and the
heavyweight champion, Jess Willard.
He has knocked out Homer Smith,
one round; Jim Flynn, one round; Bill

OLD HICKORY OVER
TOP FOR WAR FUND

HERMITAGE. Tenn. Nov. 2o.-"od
Hickory Will raise her quota for the
united war work campaign"
This statement was made Friday
night by Joe Krautter, OF the gun cot
ton pipe department Of the Old Hickory
powder plant, whose vim and energy
In all present and past war work ac-
tivities, has caused him 70 be referred
10 as the human dynamo" The quota
allotted Old Hickory was 100000
third OF the entire amount TO be raised
| by Davidson county.
When it became known that the drive
was not proving as successful as II
must, II Nashville and Davidson are TO
go over the top. the war work Or
ganization at Old Hickory doubled its
efforts, and, as a result, II Is assured
that the quota win be met. Added i'm
petus was injected into the drive Friday
noon, when the men OF the gun cotton
pipe department planned and executed
an enjoyable and fruitful program.
Several boxing bouts were given TO at
tract the crowds, In which appeared
Willie Colona. Ted Jorgensen, George
Wright, Baby Doll" Howell. Jack Rab-
uit duu Jinluly MURPHY OF flllitutlphid
Several solos were rendered by Waiter
Chandler, the singing bricklayer from
Memphis, and were followed by an ad-
dress from Peter J. Hieti, who urged
upon the men the great necessity for
putting the fund over. and explained
10 his hearers the vital need and pur-
pose OF the fund. At the close OF the
meeting every man present not only
signifled his willingness TO give days
pay, but backed up same by digging
down, bringing up the amount In cash.
The pipe department is now 100 per
cent. patriotic--the flrst OF the many
at Old Hickory to go over"
Much of the credit for the success
OF the drive at the Bend is due TO Mr..
Krautter and his assistants, Joseph
o'Brien. Charles Sadler, Charles Nit
chell, c, c. Hogwood, Ted Jergensen. J.
Milton Brown and William Thompson.
Harry F. Robelen, captain OF team No.
6, and superintendent Of the gun cot
ton division, is more than proud OF the
showing made by the men in his de-
partment.

gates from the clubs in attendance.
All the old officers were reelected
without opposition, with the exception
OF William Naddington, Of the salem
Rod Gun and Yacht Club, the former
treasurer. who declined to run because
OF the pressure OF outside business.
William ODonnel, OF the Riverside
Yacht Club, OF Essington, was elected
In his place.
The other officers eelcted were: Pres
dent, A. B. Cartledge, who VIII occupy
the ofilce for the fourth consecutive

Brennan, six rounds, and Fred Fulton.
one round. Carl Morris seconds threw
up the sponge In the fifth round.
Dempsey is one OF the greatest light
ers since Stanley Ketchel, and many
OF the old-timers OF the ring have
commented on the similarity between
the two.
Like Ketchel, Dempsey has the Tight
ing spirit, which does not acknowl-
edge defeat
Though not very clever. he has great
speed and a demon punch.
He should again meet Meehan and
prove by a decisive defeat that the
decision gained by Meehan was the
result OF poor matchmaking and
worse judgment in training.
Willard, then, would find Il hard TO
give an excuse for not defending his
title.

Coach Billy Martin got into the Satur-
day game toward the end. and at one Of
the end position, but the darkness gave
Billy little or no chance 10 show his
lashy ability As IL was Billy came
within an ace, Billy says 1t was two
feet. OF scoring for Harlan. He was
within a foot or so Of the goal line,
ready 10 receive the forward pass,
which was intercepted by one Of the
Sailor Boys, who was about two feet
taller than Billy. Thst's where the two
feet come in.
Although the entire Harlan line de
serves individual mention, the work OF
Belky. the big tackle, stands out above
all the rest. He was stone wall on
the defense and broke up more plays
than any one man on the field.
Bob Kidd and Lovern, the ends. per-
formed in great style also.
Eddie Gharrity's entrance into the
game was a signal for bigger gains
around the end. Eddie was suffering
with bad shoulder, hut fought gamely
through the final half.
The Sailor Boys, all young, big ald
hefty, made an ideal appearance as a
team, looking like a college combina-
ton. Most Of the boys wore a gold
chevron on their uniform, denoting for

Mat Donohoe handled the team with
real generalship and showed his usual
speed in getting away for several long
runs. Bill Buckley, Harry Hayes and
Ike Elliott all came through in fine
style in the backfleld.
Warren Morrow, former Chesrook
and Pennsy apprentice star, made his
first appearance with Harlan Saturday.
Morrow has had very little practice
with the Harlanites and was a little
unused TO the plays.
The Sailors quarterback could not be
handed much for his judgment. In the
first place, he sprsng his bag OF tricks
Altogether too soon. In calling for
forward passes in the shadow OF his
own goal posts and even from behind
his own goal line, he showed an en-
tire lack OF judgment. Lucky for the
Sailors that they were not intercepted,
for any OF them would have been a
sure touchdown for Harlan.

squad. and he showed in the game Sat-
