Seven yeArs after Mike Donovan had retfred-in 1sss to be exact-Jack Demp- sey flashed into view as tho wonder of the middleweight division- His achievements in the ring even up to that period had been marvellous to an extreme and his admirers heralded him as the greatest middleweight the world had ever known or could know.
 But every time tho Dempsey enthusi- asts became little too boastful, friends of Donovan would rise up and say:
 "Ch, yes, Jacks good-he's really great. But good as he Is, he wasn't in it with Mike Donovan in his prime"
 In time the remarks of Donovan's sup porters reached the ears of Dempsey-and that nettled Jack. Once, a very ardent Dcpovanite was talking about the great ness of Mike, in the presence of Demp- ssy, and said:
 still good enough to whip Dempsey
 Dempsey, who had been standing near 10 the speaker, spoke up:
 You may tell Mike Donovan for me that if he really would like to fight. I'll take him on any time. any place and any distance"
 Word was rushed to Donovan.
 'tTell Dempsey I'll fight him.
 When news was flashed around that the veteran Donovan would take on the "Nonpareil." it created a sensation in the sporting world Few-except Mike s most loyal friends-felt that he had a chance against the amazing Dempsey. Up to that time, remember. Jack had fought 62 battles and had never been beaten. He had taken on every formida- ble middleweight In the worid-and had triumphed. He was ranked as absolutely unbeatable, even by a heavyweight
 And then came Donovan-42 years old to fight him.

.ROAMED MAKES NEW
 RECORD FOR MILE
Famous Gelding Has Easy Time Lowering American
 Running Mark

Saratoga, August 21.--The American running record for a mile, established at 1:355s IS years ago by Salvador at chute and Lightning, 2-year-old today by Doamer. who covered the dis tance in 1884 4-5. The lucky gelding ran with ease, and at no time was it necessary for Andy Shuttinger, his rider, to use the whip.
 Carrying Salvator's old weight, 110 pounds, Roamer got away from a chute and Lightningh. a 2-year-old stable mate, was sent to the post to pace him. But at the drop of the flag Roamer was galloping along at his best speed from flying start, and the pacemaker was far in the rear. His stride never shortened, and for the en- tire distance he ran with apparent ease.
 Roamer is a 7-year old gelding and is owned by Andrew Miller.
 The worlds record for a mile, 1:33 1-5, vas made by Caiman, f. year-old, at Lingfield, Eng. in 1900.

 guided by strict Marquis of Queensbury rules. huge crowd turned out to wit ness the six-round fight-and it certainly was rewarded by an encounter as thrill ing as any ever staged.
 Donovan not merely surprised-by his great showing of speed and agility, he actually stunned the audience. It was expected that age had slowed him. Yet there he was. outfooting the speedy Dempsey during the first three rounds, outhitting him by the proverhial mile. The speed of Donovan was nothing short of bewildering during the early part Of the fighting, and he made Dempsey look much unlike a worlds champion.
 Friends of Jack later insisted that the 'Nonpareil'' merely was laying back, biding his time for cyclone finish. That may be true in part. But that doesn't alter the fact that through the first three rounds of the six Donovan made show of the mighty Dempsey and threw mighty scare into the men who had laid two and three to one that Donovan wouldn't last six rounds with Jack.
 In the fourth, Jack started an offensive the famous whirlwind attack that won so many battles for him. But against Donovan it availed but little. Time and again Mike met it and brushed it aside. Instead of wearying, the veteran seemed to grow stronger with each round. And in the sixth, Dempsey fought desperately to wipe out the stain of being outpointed in the earlier rounds. By every trick at his command he tried to lure Mike into range of a knockout punch. But Mike, fighting calmly and carefully. avoided every vital blow and gave about as good as he received.

lion in New Mexico fof TIE coal

Wilson gets time to take up the mat
Ter again IN TIE order issued PER.
hitting the introduction Of Mexican
laborers for coal mining purposes Il
was found that the order applies only
to Ignite coal mining, The Gallup
fields are ignite, all the others in
New N yico are bituminous, and un-
der the order cannot import labor for
the relief Of the situation this winter.
An attempt was made to have the
matter taken up with the department
Of labor, bnt Secretary Wilson was
attending the labor convention at ST.
Paul, and as the order was made per-
sonally BY him, no assistant in his
Office wanted to do anything until
their chief returned.
As the order now stands Gallup can
impcr laborers for work in the ignite
properties. No other coal property
Of the state can bring in Mexicans
under the order as Il now stands.
The fuel administration announces
q coal shortage Of tremendous pro-
portions, and it is in an effort to pro-
vide against this expected shortage
that the importation Of Mexican labor
is provided for.
