NEW YORK, May 27-Jack Dump-
sey has training ideas of his own and
SO far he has proved them 10 be IS
near right as things can be. Bu-
whether he Is right in hiring big.
slow fellow like Bill Tate 10 tussle
with him is a question.
Somehow a boxer always gs-s the
idea when he sets out to lick soue-
one who amounts TO something, that
he must find as nearly the counter
part OF mis- victim and start learning
from the substitute how the Cher
fellow boxes and to overcome HIM.
Heretofore Dempsey has left those
methods 10 the others and laid out
his own course of training.
Dempsey has done most of his
work of preparation by road work,
swimming, golf and the like. He goes
more strongly in the open air than
anything in conditioning himself. He
is a strong believer in shadow box
ing, but doesn't care much about
WALKING about with some big fellow
Just because he fights big fellow.
AS a matter OF fact Dempsey is
strong for the smaller fellows be-
cause he believes their speed and
agility gives him speed and agility.

The road is under con- struction between Groton and Poquon- oc and in a few days will be entirely closed.
 An excellent alternate detour route which will serve as a detour is to con- tinue straight down to Eastern Point and then around over the Shore road to Poquonoc, which is good macadam. There is also good macadam road which follows the beach all the way around into Mystic which eleminates Fort Hill entirely. From there on all the way to Providence the road is in good condition, providing the motorist goes from Wakefield to East Green wich over the Tower Hill road.

R. M PERKINS ELECTION
 SUSTAINED BY JUDGE

Judge Reed of the superior court, who heard the court case No. 3590, Hull, s1te attorney, ex rel, vs. Mead CT ct al, which was a quo warranto proceeding, raising the question as to whether or not Robert w. Perkins and others were legally elected officers and directors of the Norwich Belt Manu- featuring company several weeks ago at New London, rendered a judgment Thursday in favor of the respondents.
 The case, which was a somewhat unusual one. arose from the fact that Robert W. Perkins and others at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Belt company, held in January last, were elected officers and directors over the protest of H. H. Gallup, who had formerly been president of the com pany. The question raised by the quo warranto proceedings was as to whether or not certain shares of stock voted by the Perkins group on a proxy of one Crocker. a stockholder, were properly voted. the name having been left blank in the proxy, although the same was otherwise regularly exc cuted and also as to whether or not certain shares of stock which were voted by John c. Averill. as proxy for the Thames National bank. were prop erly voted. It was the claim of MT. Gallups attorneys that neither or these proxies should be allowed, the first because it was not properly executed and the second because the bank had not authority 10 vote the stock, the same having been transferred to 1t in connection with a loan.
 In his memorandum of decision Judge Reed finds that the Perkins group were legally elected officers, as they had claimed. and in the course of the opinion holds that while the Crocker shares were not legally voted, the proxy to Averill was Consequent iy under the courts decision MT Per kins' title to the office of president is made clear. as is that of the other officers associated with him to the re- spective offices to which they were elected. and they are all found to have been legally elected directors.
 Hull Mcclure X Hull were the at torneys for Fl. H. Gallup. relator. and Arthur M Brown of Brown X James and Allyn T.. Brown of Brown & Per kins were attorneys for Robert W. Perkins 'et al., the respondents.
