With the selection of Jack Demp- sey as the opponent for Jess Willard worlds champion, in a heavyweight title bout to be conducted by Tex Rickar5, by July 1, but one detail re- mains to complete the arrangements for the big scrap. This is the place where the contest will be held Any surmises on this detail are purely conjecture. Promoter Rickard Is keeping close counsel and has as yet dropped no hint of his intentions. Rickard has, 1t is reported, declared himself ready to go abroad with the attraction if conditions make such move necessary It is regarded as eX- tremely doubtful, however, if this emergency will arise.
 Dempsey's selection was popular. The Salt Lake City heavyweight is conceded the position of likely sue cessor to Willard, and there are many who are of the firm opinion that he will score a decisive victory. Friends of Willard, on the other hand, put out that the champion will have a great advantage over his challenger which will prove favorable if the battle becomes a contest of strength and endurance. ~

WINCHESTER TEAM
 BEATS BRIDGEPORT

/ New Haven. Feb. 3.---The newly or ganized Winchester soccer team cov- ored itself with glory at Tyler's field yesterday afternoon by scoring a 2 to shut-out at the expense of the Thistles of Bridgeport. The contest attracted close to 500 devotees of the sport, all of whom appeared pleased
 with the showing of the Red W kick CTS.
 Billy Black, veteran of many hard
 fought battles, again donned the jer-
 sey and was a big factor in the Brtdgeporters' defeat Other old timers who helped out the Winches- Aers' cause included Tedcastle, Gyles and Johnston. The only tallies of the game were contributed by Lamb and Tedcastle.
 The visitors started the game with sa dash and for short time it ap- 5 peared as though they would gain the upper hand. Aggressive playing by ths local forwards, however, re- 1ieved the situation. A scrimmage gaear the goal followed and the referee awarded a penalty kick after Smith had been fouled. Lamb then kicked an easy goal. Give and take play followed for some time, after which a combination run by the New Ha- ven forwards resulted in Tedcastle Kicking a beautiful goal The line up and summary;

there Is a big demand for then-but
we refer to the dollars received and

thus indicating that they will sell on
time to the farmers and discount the
notes at the banks for the cash The
banks will get the discount when the
notes are paid but it IS not a class of
business which they desire Too often
the farmer has been pursuaded to buy
something, and give his note for the
amount, which he would be better off
without Another thing, the fact that
the agents or statesmen will sell the
notes at a discount indicates that they
are selling their goods for more than
they are worth and generally getting
their money in advance of delivery

been greatly increased and a warm
friendship has existed between the

the church and congregation These
friends watched with sadness the
gradual decline in the health of DR.
Allison during the first few months of
this year and his lack of more
speedy recovery during the last two
months. Knowing that he is not able

work, and much to the regret of him

Dr. Allison decided to resign the pas

accepted and will take effect at the
meeting of the fall presbytery in Sep

many friends of the family through

that their expectations will be doubly
realized.

EARNED s2s MELTED So IN HOLE

We often hear of ssthe irony of fate
and frequently realize it or behoIds

season law suit in Judge Acres court
the last week was along the irony
line r. G. Beck had worked with the
crew for George Schneider about three
days and a little over. Mr. Schneider
had settled with the other members of
the crew at the price offered Beck.
Beck insisted that he was entitled to
two dollars more and would not ac-
cept the offer made by Schneider He
brought suit against Schneider and in
order to avoid a possibility of having
to pay the costs pleaded poverty which
ordinarily would have thrown the
costs onto the county had the plain

was tried before the jury and doubt

dollars of the plaintiffs money in

the poverty plea would hold good so
he ruled that the expenses of the pros
