The first game tonight will be decld- ed on the floor of the local Boys Club gym and if the two teams live up to expectations the game should turn out to be on the best playen of the season.
 The Rectors this season have gone through their schedule without suf- fering a single defeat. Their record for the year shows fifteen victories scored against local and out of town teams.

 MEN DO WELL

The fourth hole on No. ? course at BeIIeair has been made four times this season in one stroke. About three weeks ago two players holed out from the tee and recently on the same day and within ten minutes of each other, two more "ones' were recorded. The feat was accomplish ed by Archie MacF,arIane of Brook lyn, and Mrs. J. s. Disston, Jr, of Philadelphia.
 Jock Hutchinson and Walter Ha- gen had a great battle for honors in the Boco Grande open recently. This pair were tied on the first days play and 1t was a merry battle on the last eight holes with Hagen leading by q stroke on the 12th. This was not not enough of a lead to discourage the Glenview star, who finally forged ahead, and got Walter in the finish by two strokes.
 Jim Brady, winner at Deland, was the favorite for the Boco Grande tournament, but the best he could do was fourth place, beating out of third place by Mike Brady. It Is a nip and tuck down in Florida between Hagen, Barnes, Hutchinson and Barnes.
 Although Walter Hagen did not win, the credit of making the best shot of the Boco Grande tournament if not the best shot even seen on any golf course. must go to the Detroit pro. On the fourteenth hole Hagen hooked his tee shot, leaving a dis tance of 230 yards to go, but there were many obstacles in his way. But he surprised the gallery by covering the distance.

By Roger Terri.

Jack Dempsey, the San Francisco heavyweight will come to Bridge port at the head of his own Athletic Carnival company, during the first week of April. He will be at the Park theatre for a matinee and night performance. With him will also come an aggregation of wrestlers, swimmers and other athletes of note. The feature of Dempsey's appearance here, however, will be his challenge to any battler. Battling LevinsI1y and Larry Williams will probably be on hand to meet the San Franciscan.
 Information of Dempsey's coming to this city was contained in a special delivery letter forwarded to the writer by Jack Kearns, manager of the heavyweight. Dempsey closes with ''The Americans" a No. ? burIesque wheel production at the Victoria thea Ire in Pittsburgh tonight. Three weeks will be spent with carnival show, according to Kearns. On March 31, Kearns adds in his letter, Demp sey and his own show, which is back ed by Barney Gerard, a famous bur Iesque producer, will open at con vention hall, better known as the Arena, in April.

TT OM McARDLE, however, may 1 spoil things, for Tom is manas- ing Coffey and he was in Boston the night Jim fought Bat. He was in Coffey's corner and made no com plaint when the referee gave the yer dict to Levinsky. Tom is too much of a sport to do that What squak is being made is being made by those who did not see the battle-and not McArdle.
 McArdle is one of our best box ing managers. He is one of the few who really practices the old saying "give credit where credit is due.
 But not even Tom wants to send coffey against Levinsl1y. Tom Is too wise a bird and too shrewd man aeer to want to do any such thing, so the other day he made the statement ] that Levinsky and Coffey had never been matched for Monday night at t Jersey City. Tom added, furthermore, that Coffey would not meet Levinsky nor any other heavyweight for at least two months.

New York.-During the present agi-

discoveries made in the field Of syn

Vanleuven OsterhOut, Phi. D., professor
of botany at Harvard university, has

food from sunlight. air and water.
Although this process Of food max
ing is as yet confined to the laboratory
stage Prof. Osterhout points out that
many discoveries remained some time
in the laboratory stage before they
could be placed on commercial basis.
As an instance he cites the many
doubters of the practical value of cleo
tricity, and the long uphill road Edison
had to travel before he gained recog-
milton commercially.

this is overcome by adding small pro-
