Writes Favoring Memorial
For Soldiers And Sailors

We have an Association building
in our city. Let us. make it a monu.
ment, a real memorial to our BOYS
With the money that would be nee.
essary to buy lot and build
building for a library, we could pay
off the debt that hangs over our AS
ISOLATION, remodel the building so as
to have magnificent room, or
suite of two or three rooms for a
handsome Public Free Library and
Reading Room. then enlarge the
swimming pool to proportions that
will accommodate all, because this is
what the boys like. build an annex
70 the renr of thee building for
Junior Boys Department, so that the
little fellows will not have to mingle
with the older ones. purchase the
books required for library, place
them in the Association Building and
still have neat sum for the future
running of the outfit.
l offer this suggestion in the best
of spirit, because feel that the
GOOD people of Martinsburg will take
better TO ii. support 1t more Loyalty
than they will a separate organiza
ton. 1t will happily answer a double
purpose. that of a Library and a
Young Mems Christian Association
combined and win indeed make
lasting and fitting memorial to our
boys.
Trusting that others will express
their views. ! am.
Very Cordially,

Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey have B golden opportunity to do this:
 1. Enrich war charities to the extent of probably a million dollars
 2. Entertain the entire military and naval forces of the United States
 3, Make themselves as popular as any warriors that ever stepped into the prize ring.
 Will they do this7
 A fight to decision between the two gladiators. with the heavyweight cham pionship of the world at stake. the gate" less the cost of stalking the bout and actual training camp expenses, to be donated to war charities-that is the opportunity.
 It is asking much of Willard to risk his title without compensation; 1t is asking much of Dempsey to battle so huge man without remuneration. But this is A time when to give much is a patriotic duty. And even in the giving those men would be rewarded by popularity that comes to those who have done their "bit"-and very big Dit
 If Willard and Dempsey agree to fight for charitable purposes, it is likely that the lawmakers or governors of various states where prize lighting is barred would lift the ban for such ring con- test. Were the battle to be fought in New York state, provided permit could be secured, it could be put on in the open house 40.Oco crowd. With prices rang ing from. g to $25 the gate" would tc.ai approximately $3D.e00.
 That's a huge sum- but the ''intake- need nos enc there. A tremendous reve- nue would come from exhibiting moving pictures of that fight
 A national law bars the interstate showing of fight pictures. But it might be arranged for such fight and such a cause, to show these pictures. If the fight itself lived up to expectations in thrills and furious action I am sure tho pictures would draw tremendously in The revenue should be no less than $500, 00O, and might go close to $1,000,000
 Soldiers and sailors are mighty keen about boxing. To see pictures of a Will lard Dempsey fight would be an event in their lives. Negatives could be made of the pictures to be shown in all the camps in America, and behind the battle lines in France.
 It's within the power of Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey to do this-all of this Will they do it?
 Some may feel that for Jess to engage in bout under such conditions would be for him case of everything to lose and nothing to gain" But they are wrong. Jess does risk the losing of his crown, which he treasures much. But, win or lose, the big fellow will gain the prestige that comes from being a na- tional hero, There wouldn't be any dis- grace i'll suffering defeat for cause so worthy as that which Willard could fight for now. And if Jess won that match, what hero he would be.
 Dempsey shouldn't hesitate over surh a proposition as getting a crack at Wil.

 AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Among the Bleacherites air Hits and Foul Chatter Garnered From the National
 Pastime

Mayer bested Jim Vaughn in the second. With seven-game lead, there is no uneasiness over the outcome among the Chicago fans Mitchell has already be- gun to groom his forces for the hectic series and will rest his best huriers from now till the end of the race. Vaughn, Tyler, Douglas, Hendryx and Carter are a pretty formidable pitching staff and compare favorably with Jones, Mays, Ruth and Bush of the Red Sox.
 Four double headers were played yes- terday and in every instance they were split, each team winning one and losing one It's about 3 to l bet that every twin bill will be divided, judging by past performances.
 The worlds series will probably start September in Chicago. If Boston wins the American league rag, only one jump will be made. The old plan of running back and forth between the two con- tending cities has been abandoned this year on, account of the increased trans portatiorl cost. The series will, as usual,

The Chicago Americans furnished the feature of the week, making S3 hits and winning six games and losing one. Philadelphia won this game Monday afternoon after dropping two last Sun day. The Sox took fourth place from New York by capturing three straight from the Yankees, one contest lasting IS innings. Chicago beat Cleveland Saturday. Today each won game of a double-header, both teams bat ting hard
 The Boston Americans were unable to improve their percentage. They d. vided evenly two games with Cleveland last Sunday, took two out of three from Detroit and lost twice to New fork Saturday. In each series one game went extra innings.
 Cleveland beat Washington twice in a three game series. The Senators split even with Detroit last Sunday, John- son losing the second game in IS in- nings. Philadelphia and Washington broke even Saturday, Johnson scoring a shut-out in the opener. Shaw blanked the Athletics with three hits today.
 New York had lost seven straight before its double win over Boston Sat- urday St. Louis had twin victories over New York and Philadelphia and broken even with Detroit today.
 In the National league Chicago won from New York. took two out of four from Brooklyn and tied Pittsburg Sat-

The Indians continue to overlook good opportunities to creep up on Boston in the American league pennant race, ana the two teams are still three games apart. Inasmuch as the Red Sox play at home until Labor Day, while Cleveland is on the road during all but it's last two games, it would seem that Boston has a cinch, but such is not entirely the case. Washington has yet to be reck- oned with and Washington is making game try for the rag. The Senators are five full games behind the leaders, but after tomorrow they will play every game at home and that's a big advan- tage. If the Senators can take IA of their next 19 battles, while the Red Sox break even, it'll barely put 'em over.
 Anyhow, Clark Grifnth has almost an even chance of finishing second.
 The Cubs broke even with the Pirates yesterday, Phil Douglas winning the first

 Pittsburg stood still, winning three and losing three. In four-team fight for fourth place, Cincinnati took the lead by winning five of it's seven games. Grimes of Brooklyn blanked Philadelphia with two hits Saturday. By hitting safely in 26 successive games, Zach Wheat of Brooklyn made a sea- son record.

 lard even though the bout wouldn't add dollar to his bank account. It is an likely that he would ever get chance at Willard any other way, at least until the war is over. Ring contests conducted solely for the benefit of the promoters and boxers aren't popular these days. And there would be much opposition to a purse battle between the two top-notch heavies.
 Dempsey could well afford to take A chance in a bout for charity's benefit. If he lost there wouldn't be real sting in 1t. It took a champion to stop him. And even In defeat Dempsey would be lionized because he gladly had risked his chances for patriotic purpose. Tn case he won, in case he took the title from Willard he would be king of the heavies and when the war is over it would be worth fortune to him.

"Bul- let Joe'' Bush and Carl Mays, two of Barrow's best riflemen, were sent against the Gothamites, but without avail A few more two-ply losses for Boston may add interest to the American league lag chase, which has been all but conceded to Barrow.
 Eddie Collins, though married and in Class of the draft, has been unable to stand the strain and announced that he would leave the Sox in Boston Sat- urday and join the marines. If those Germans aren't faster than Heine Zim- merman, they had better keep out of his way.
 Collins is recognized as the peer of all second basemen in the game, and one of the greatest players that ever lived. Eddie was too earger to get in the fray to wait for the seasons end
