kEARNS FAILS TO
REACH AGREEMENT
Leaves New York Without
Signing for Dempsey.
Has Gone Movie Mad.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Heiavyweight
championship boxing bout stock took a
decided slump when Jack Kearns, man
sEer Of Dempsey, fitted away from
this city in the direction Of Chicago and
cancelled his engagement to meet the
promoters yesterday. He said be was
called away by urgent moving picture
business.
There was a slight ray Of hope IN HIS
telephone message to Dave MacKay, OF
the Newark Sportsmen's club, the chief
bidder for a bout between the champion
q worthy apponent. KeaFns sug-
gested to MacKay that he make ar
rangements with some heavyweight to
meet the champion and then telegraph
his financial proposal to Chicago. The
champions manager said he could not
say when he would return to New York.
but he would see Dempsey and ~acquaint
him with the conditions of the proposed
match.
As the champion now Is In Texas with
a circus, 1t really can be seen that any
further negotiations looking to a bout
between Dempsey and some heavy
weight in search of fame In the roped
arena will have to be conducted by
wireless or long distance telephone.
Offers Meehan $4,000.
1t will be remembered that MacRay
offered Dempsey $3.50 0 for an eight
round bout with Willie Meehan, the
San Francisco fat boy, the offer hav-
ing as a basis the four-round decision
that Meehan received over Dempsey
some time previous to the Toledo Incl
dent. MacKay therefore ~telegraphed to
Meehan and asked how little Of the
coin OF the realm he would be willing
to take for a bout in which he would
have q chance to win the heavyweight
championship of the word.
Meehan replied that he would accept
q mere pittancs of sic, 500. After Mac
Kay had regained his eomposure he
win rec hss chan that t he wSGls give him
ment Meehsn doubtless would make
desperate efforts to remain on his feet
for the entire eight rounds. MaeKay
has not received any response from
Meehan. who possibly takes the offer
as q deadly affront.

''of course am willing to listen to

keaFns, but the n ] am most IN
terested in just now Is that which has
been made to me for a Dempsey Beckett

the promoter in that city, has offered
Jack $3.50, 900 for his end Of a bout with

he talked the larger grew the sums
he mentioned.

AN English sportsman told me the

London. I asked him how much he
thought 1t would draw and he said in

discussed such huge sums soon had
Mackay talking the same way.

CLOSEREMINCTON
 HOBOKEN PLANT
Machinery From Jersey Fac tory Arriving Here Daily
 by Car Load.

Car loads of machinery consigned to the Remington Arms company, ar irving at the plant in this city, has caused speculation.
 It was learned today that practi- ca1Iy all of the machinery received in this city was shipped from the Rem ington plant at Hoboken, N. J., which is about to close. The machinery will be stored in the local plant and kept for use at some future date.
 The Remington company's plant at Hoboken, was only leased for the duration of the war and as soon as the armistice was signed preparations were made to dismantle the ma chinery and give up the building.
 It was also rumored that the Rem ington plant at Illion, N, Y, would be closed and the machinery shipped here, but this was denied today, by a well informed employe of the Rem- ington company who said that the commercial work at the plant in Illion was now going ahead full blast

STAMFORD

To the Editor of The Times: Last September a year ago, a petition was sent to the selectmen at Strat- ford, asking for a walk or path of some kind from Avon Park and the trolley line to the school house at Honeyspot. The petition was granted and a cinder path was promised inn mediately. Mud and swamps five and six inches deep are the only signs of a path. At times it is so bad that the teachers cannot get to school. Wake up, MT. SelectHnen and Mir. Land owner, if you want anyone left. Hon eyspot teachers, pupils, parents and friends will soon leave to find heal thier environments if something isn't done.
 They say everything is left on this earth for some good purpose. A prom inent Stratford peddler was heard to say that the mud walk along Honey spot road was there for she purpose of bettering the business of dealers in old rubber.
 Quite true! Seven single rubbers of different sizes were found stuck in the mud one day last week. Why not 1 go in the rubber business? l ! Chief Com1nissary Steward J. H. Lock of the U. S. S. Aramis spent Sunday at the home of H. M. Booth, North Main street. MT. Lock had some interesting stories to tell of chasing subs on the Atlantic coast last summer.
 A large number of Stratfordl Ma sons attended the formal opening of
 the Masonic club, Bridgeport, on Sat
