There are q few fine, old fashioned
Christmas observances and pastimes
that we have drifted away from. which
it is a pity to lose. 1t is all right to ex-
change presents at Christmas time, but
the mad rush Of shopping that en-
crosses people q week or so before the
holidays, indicates that Christmas
revelries are being replaced by . mere
exchange of gifts. After this has been
accomplished there b nothing further
planned. and the universal wish-fOr
"Merry Christmas'-has small
chance Of fulfillment.
We cannot hope to have as many
days to give to gayeties as people had
q few generations ago when the yule
logs burning measured the length Of
the holidays But one, or per
haps more days can be planned

Little parties Of children and young
people used to serenade their friends
and every house had little spread Of
cakes and candies. with other Christ

MOSTLY FAVOR
Ing DEMPSEY
Not a Bet That Willard viii Knock
Out His Man in First Half. Fight
Fans Mostly Taking the Short
End on Dempsey's Ability to
Put Big Fighter to Sleep.
by TOM S.

milwaukee,, Wis.-Betting on the
WiIlard.Demsey title match at Toledo,
Ohio, July 4, has started with a vim.
It is like a winter look on the races.
There are many books being made on
the big fight and all kinds of odds are
being offered. One bet was registered
in Chicago the other. day of $1,000
against $4,000 that Dempsey stops
Willard inside four rounds. Similar bets
have been made in Milwaukee and
New York, while i'll such cities as
Baltimore. Louisville, Cincinnati ana
Detroit, where the horsemen5s have
been gathering from time to time, the
betting has become almost a mania
with some of the fans.
All the Bets Favor Jack Dempsey
One bet of 500 against $500 vas
made that Dempsey would win by a
knockout in three rounds and another
of the same size that Jack would win
inside two rounds. At one room in
Milwaukee there has been placed Z. big
roll, at odds of S100 to $500, tina!
Dempsey wins by a Il. O. inside OF five
rounds. and there seems to be no limit
to the number of bets taken.
Not a Bet on Willard
The peculiar angle, OF The affair is
that not one bet has been registered
that Willard will knock out Dempsey
inside of the first half of the battle.
There is no doubt that Dempsey is the
popular fighter of the two. 1t is also
possible that sentiment is liable to run
away with nan of the fans the same
as It did when Jim Jeffries fought Jack
johnson at Reno and lost the title. 1t
was sentiment only that made jim a
fayorite over johnson n 1t was the
same when John r.. Sullivan fought
i'm Corbett at New Orleans and lost
his title.
Dempsey is a spectacular fighter and
no mistake. He proved fhat when he
put FREQ Fulton to sleep in 1871 sec
onds. He has the punch, but many
of the men he put to sleep were more
dummies for him. IL Willard was a
fellow who dissipated and had been go.
