BALLOON CALLS
FOR FUEL FROM
BAY Of FUNOY

MINEOLA, N. Y, July 5.-Amer-
lean destroyers have been despatched
from Boston to the Bay of Fundy
with a supply of fuel oil for the
British dirigible R-34, which has
wirelessed a hurry call for more
gas.
The balloon, which is enroute
from Scotland to this city, passed
St. Johns, Newfoundland, yesterday,
dropping off a mail sack on the fly,
it being the desire of the navigators
to finish the flight, if possible, with
out a stop.
Advices received from Halifax
this afternoon state that the dirigi-
BILE is making slow progress along
the Nova Scotia coast, the slowing
down being attributed to heavy fog
banks. But for this delay, there
would have been ample fuel aboard
for the entire flight.

WILLARD DEFEATED;
DEMPSEY CHAMPION

TOLEDO, O., July An what
is conceded to have been one of the
most disappointing championship
contests ever witnessed in this coun-
try, jess Willard, heavyweight title
holder, went down to easy defeat
here this afternoon before Jack
Dempsey, two-handed knockout fight
er, whose victory promises to re-
vive the fighting game in the Unit
ed States. 1t was apparent to the
spectators, before the end of the
first round, that Willard was whip
ped. At the end of the third round,
with b lood streaming from his
mouth and his head in whirl from
the pounding administered by his
agile, hard-hitting opponent, Willard
threw up the sponge, much to the
disgust of the thousands of spec
tators who have travelled hundreds,
and in some cases thousands, Of
miles to witness the contest. Had
the fight continued beyond the third
round, Willard undoubtedly would
have been knocked out.
NO CHANCE.
At no time during the brief time
that the fight lasted was the result
in doubt. Dempsey sent home a
body blow in the first round from
which the cowboy never recovered.
The gong saved him in the first
round Dempsey knocked the big
fellow down or threw him helpless
against the ropes seven times dur
ing the three rounds, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Willard lowered
above him like lighthouse over a
tug. Willard acted like sick man
swinging feebly, while his antag-
onist, with relentless persistence
hammered home the blows like q
great riveting machine in one OF

NENANA CELEBRATES
BIG DOUBLE HOLIDAY

Fair weather, an excellent pro-
gram, many out-of-town visitors and
a double reason for making merry
have combined to make Nenana's
fourth annual Independence Day
celebration the greatest ever, and
there is every reason to believe that
the final number on the lengthy
program tonight will find every one
well pleased with the entertainment

terday to interfere with the pro-
gram, but after an unloading of
rain clouds during the noon hour,
the afternoon turned out fair and
continued SO throughout the re-
mainder of the day. Just enough
rain fell to put the streets in ex-
cellent condition for the track
events.
The celebration opened with a
dance at Union hall, which was
largely attended and greatly en-
joyed, the floor being crowded with
dancers until we'll after midnight.
The patriotic exercises yesterday
morning marked the commencement
of the regular celebration program,
a large crowd being on hand to hear
the reading of the Declaration of
Independence and the other mum
bers comprising the excellent pro-
gram. The program opened with the
song, America" sung by the audi
ence, followed by:

After Willard had been assisted
to his dressing-room, he admitted to
newspapermen that Dempsey is the
hardest puncher / ever met" Demp-

victory and fully expected to knock

before the fight that he would end
the battle in that way. After the
fight he said that Willard grew so
feeble he hated to hit him.

Intense heat prevailed throughout

NEW GIANT MAGNATE HELPS GET
SUNDAY BASEBALL IN NEW YORK

New Magistrate Francis
X. McQuade, one of the triumvlrate
which recently acquired the Giants,
IS given much credit for the pas
sage of the bill legalizing Sunday
baseball in this state.
The bill was passed recently by
the state legislature and signed by
Governor Smith
McQuade worked untiringly for
the measure for three years before
lie was connected in an official ca
pacity with big league baseball.
1t is interes ing that New York
City. The biggest city in the coun-
try. has had such a long and hard
fight TO legalize the playing of
baseball on the Sabbath.
Similar Bill Was Killed.
A similar measure was introduc-
ed last year by Senator Lawton,
/ rhich successfully passed the SEN
ate, but was killed in the assembly
rules committee.
Not the least dismayed by their
failure the advocates of Sunday
baseball renewed their fight this
year. They had the unqualified
support of army and navy veterans
and also, were backed by virtually
all of the labor unions. Represen-
tatives of the two arms of the gov
eminent service and delegates of
the unions attended the hearings at
Albany at which there was very
little opposition, and spoke in ia
yor of the bill.
The passage of this bill means
that championship games a. last
will be staged on Sunday in Great
or New York by the Giants and
Yankees at the Polo grounds and
by the Dodgers at Ebbets field in
Brooklyn.
New Life for Minors.
New life for the International
league in Buffalo and Rochester
are foreseen and the new bill, once
it becomes a law, may also result
in the reorganization of the New
York State league and the old Hud
son River league. In addition.

JOHNNY ERTLE TO

FOR CROWN JULY 4

Baltimore. April 2G.-Johnny
Ertle, of st. Paul, and Pete Her
man, of New Orleans, worlds ban
tam champion, have been matched
over the fifteen-round distance by
Sammy Harris, the local ring pro-
moter. The battle will be staged
at Oriole Park on the afternoon OF
July 4. Pop" O'Brien will ref
cree, this demand having been
made by the champion.
Asked why he insisted on
O'Brien, who is the official Balti-
more referee, Herman said:
Well. my title is at stake. even
though there is no decision given.
Now suppose that my opponent
opened a cash on my eyes so that
l couldn't see or cut me up so
that the blood would cause the
referee to take pity on me. He
would stop the bout and l would
lose by a technical. knockout. Then
my. opponent would be champion.
Now Pop wouldn't do that unless
he saw that / was apt to be very
seriously injured. l might get
whipped, but l wouldn't lose the
championship"
just now there are very few
real championship contenders in
the bantam ranks to our way of
figuring. Ertle is in fine shape
and is likely to make things in
teresting for the little New Or
leans boy. Besides Ertle. there
are only about two other boys of
championship calibre. They are
Joe Lynch. who is now or his way
to this country. and Joe Burman,
the Chicago scrapper, who is so
popular here.
