Net Profits of 8 Round Bout in

!. Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey, whose

trated by the authorities. will meet In
the ring OF the Newark Velodrome on
tho afternoon OF Saturday. July 20. In
an eight round bout with eight ounce

o'clock. The Boxing Commission OF New

license to the Velodrome, has issued a
special permit for the bout, which Will
be the most important heavyweight con-
test since Jess Willard wrested the title
from Jack johnson in Cuba.
After the boxers receive their share OF
the receipts the net profits Of this fstic
carnival will be donated to the Clark

vides baseball paraphernalia for the SOL
diers in France. Alexander Archibald Is

manager. Johnstons services were
sought because Of his success as a pro-
moter OF many big boxing shows held

As the Velodrome can seat 10000 per-
sons, the net profits for the bat and ball

copied terms, signed articles and also
have posted forfeits assuring their ap-
pearance in the ring. The battlers will
arrive here In a few days and will open

which are tagging official Washington
these days. From the former hardly any
department is immune and as no sound
treatment was applied in time 1t has
passed beyond the incipient stages and
now hourishes In full virulency.
"Conferitis' Is the contagious malady
which starts leading citizens in good

try is being run in the right way or not.

U. 3. Work First, Says Court.
Special Despdteh to THE SUI.


CoHoEs, n. Y, July civilians can
not recover for damages for failure to
supply goods as contracted for. even IL
that failure Is due to work on Govern
ment orders placed after the civilian
contracts. according to decision of
Judge George W. Ray in the United
States District Court for the northern
district OF New York.
The William Moore Knitting Company
and Moore & Tierney. Inc. of this city
had contracts to supply the Roxford
Knitting Company of Philadelphia with
woollen underwear The mills were
practically sold up to civilian trade
when war was declared between this
country and Germany.
Acting. however, on word from the
Council of National Defence. the mills
gave preference to the turning out OF
Government work. the contracts taking
their entire output from last June to
date. The Philadelphia company in
sisted that its orders be filled first.
Suits with counter claims for damages
were then started.
Judge Ray holds that the local mills
acted properly in taking the Govern
ment contract later and giving II prefer
ence in completion. He says: Plaintiff
acted in perfect good faith. 1t was not
a money making scheme nor did a de-
sire for a better and more remunera-
tive contract actuate ii. 1t was it's pur-
pose to answer to the call and demand
OF the Government. 1t understood IL
was doing this"
