School Bond Election.

The election held at Obion last
Saturday to decide upon the issue OF
school bonds for $4,000 for the Obion
public schools resulted in favor OF
the bonds by vote of II to 20. The

this fact in more ways than in this

 ing Kearns' head landed with thump against the floor and 1t was a long, long time before Kearns recovered con sciousness.
 That was the only exhibition of real punching power by Willard that the east had ever seen. In the west through 1911, 1912 and part of 1913. Willard was Knocking 'em dead without much trouble. But after the Young fight Willard rarely made an effort to hurt anyone. Fitted against Frank Moran in 1916 he was stung sev- eral times by the power of the blows of the Pittsburger. But on all occa- sions he retained his good nature and with the exception of two rounds made no pronounced effort to punish Moran to the limit of his powers. To win on points seemed to be his purpose attef 1913 in all of his fights except tha, against Jack Johnson.
 Of course, Willard has skidded from the height of his power. Willard lacks much that was his six and seven years ago. Age has taken something from him. But, just the same, if Willard really is angered as he was in the Kearns' fight, Dempsey undoubtedly will have tough time standing up under Willard's onslaughts.
 But, when it comes to punching pow

Demp- sey has, been topping over the big gest and the best men in Ffstiana with one or two punches. Confronted by Willard he will find a target perhaps little harder to hit and one with more solid foundation. But Dempsey, while admitting this frankly has this to say:
 Willard claims that he never hit \
 man with all the force that he really can put into blow. The same thing goes with me. l have knocked out 57
 men in my day and I have never yet hit anyone to the limit of my power. I have been fortunate enough to topple 1 over the big fellows and the little ones with punches that didn't carry all my strength behind them. "Tackling Willard doesn't seem to

SPORTING sQUIBs

With the Strangler LewiS-Joe Stecher match only few days off local wrestling bug are beginning to lay their lettuce on the outcome of the match and from all accounts there is more interest in this event than in any similar one that has ever taken place during the history of the mat game.
 In discussing the approaching meeting of these two giant grapplers Bill Streit said yesterday: "No wrestling match has ever been pulled off that will equal in importance the one that is set for Mon- day night in Chicago. Joe Coffey, who is promoting the bout has announced that unless there is a decision, all ticket mon- ey will be refunded at the gate and so, if these two mat champions want to draw anything out of the proceeds they'll have to keep at it until somebody is thrown"
 Over in Atlanta they are talking base ball already and Charley Frank is look ingN over the remains of his 1918 cellar champions with the view of building a formidable machine around them. Frs Kline Mayer, the centerfielding wonder. has been named captain of the team this year and will be shunted to his familiar place in the middle garden. Baldermo Acosta has been sent back by Washington and with Roy Moran, will probably complete the outfield. Gallo way, the youngster who filled in last year, will get a good try-out at the key- stone sack and "Scrappy" Moore. former vandy star. is< doped as the next third baseman. Sam Crane is listed among the Cracker "holdovers' but Sammy has been offered a job with the Cincy Reds and of course, will go there first In the box, Frank has Adrian Lynch, Joe Engle, Ad Brennan and Sheehan to- start with. which is not much of start.
 Some bird has dug down in the percent- age records and discovered that Everett Scott, the fielding wonder of the last worlds series, is the best shortstop that ever lived. Scott has the highest fielding average of any shortfielder in baseball history who has played five or more seasons on a major league team.
 Outside of Ty Cobb of Augusta. Ga. Iris Speaker of Hubbard, Texas, Joe Jackson of Greenville. s. C., Clyde Milan of Linden, Tenn, and several others the south hasn't produced any star out fielders in the last few years and hence the reason big league managers brea their necks to grab a phenom from Dixie whenever they hear of his existence.

Dreyfuss deny any knowledge of ther al- legged discontent with the terms con- ta1ned in the contracts mailed them. The loss of these men will however, not mean much to Pittsburg-no more than the loss of both legs would mean to a chorus girl.
 Sammy Strong, new manager of the Lookouts, is reported to be shortstop extraordinary His debut in the league will be watched closely by inhabitants of the Lookout mountain district who for some reason or other haven't manifested much interest in the national pastime since Kid Elberfeld used to stage his delightful little afternoon teas there in honor of the visiting umpires.

LIVINGSTON

Livingston. February 27.-(Special.) The many friends of Lieut.. A. M. Mo Connell. IT,, are glad to learn that he has been promoted to a captaincy. Captain Mcconnell was commissioned a lieutenant at the first officers train ing camp at Fort McPherson in Au- gust. 1917, and was ordered abroad at once, being assigned to serve with the Twenty-sixth, (Yankee) division, com- posed of New England troops where he has been in active service ever since. being in many of the hardest fought battles of the war. He was severely gassed once and confined to the hospital for several weeks, but on being discharged got back into the scrap and remained till the last gun was fired on November II. He is still in Europe and cannot say when he will return home.
 The last legislature abolished the board of county commissioners of Sum- ter county and created q board of reve- nue. At a mass meeting of citizens in Livingston last Saturday 1t was unani- mously agreed to recommend to Gov ernor Kilby that he appoint the old board of commissions, T. V. White w. F.. Bennett, C. A. Elliott and H. l.. Horn, and in addition E. F. Allison, as chairman. to constitute the Sumter county board of revenue.

 Jess Willard. apparently angered by threatens:
 "when I get Dempsey into the ring with me I'm going to give him the worst beating I ever handed out to any man in my career"
 Dempsey seems to have accomplish ed something that only a rare few Of Willard's foes ever have done. And each of these has aroused the anger Of the giant Kansan to his sorrow.
 Just how hard Willard can hit-cr rather how hard he could hit in his prime--always has been a mystery. A good natured, easy going fellow who disliked to hurt his fellowmen-that was Willard in the heydey of his ca reer. Willards list of knockout vic- tories grew smaller and ever smaller after the unfortunate affair in San Francisco with Bull Young in 1913. Tn that contest Willard dealt out terrific beating to Young and followed with a terrible punch that won the fight. A short time afterward Young died. But although Willard was clear o his death, there was ever afterward dislike on the part of Willard to pun ish 8 foe.
 Just once before did Willard use all his power against an opponent. And that unfortunate was Soldier Kearns Jess took on Kearns in New York on December 27, 1912. The two had brecz- ed along for seven rounds without any apparent effort on Willard's part to hit Kearns with full force Jess seemed content to shade Kearns to the victory.
 With the beginning of the eighth Kearns cut loose and landed a re- sounding right handler to Willard's heart. The blow hurt-and Willard was ablaze with anger. Fuel was ad- ded to 1t by some taunting remarks which Kearns immediately delivered after his punch.
 Like a manias, Willard rushed Kearns, drove him back toward the ropes and then. settling himself swung a right handler for Kearns' head that carried all the terrific force of Will | lard's body behind it.
 Kearns beamed in the neighborhood of 1s5 pounds but when that punch | landed he was lifted from his feet as though he were bantam-weight The wallop swept him backward and then sent him toppling to the mat. In fall
