Many DriliIant constellatons of men of genius have taken their shining places in the American Armament. There that first great cluster of the old Puritan worthies-John Robinson Cotton Mather Miles Standish, John Winthrop and the rest
 Then appeared the galaxy of the Revolution-John Adams George Washington, Thomas Jefferson Ben jamin Franklin Alexander Hamilton Patrick Henry and others. After that that ilIustrous group of statesmen, Jackson Webster Clay, Calhoun Doug las and the others. These followed by the her oes of the Civil War-Lincon, Seward Sumner Chase, with Grant and sherman and their innumer able companions in Of a different complexion and shedding different light ascending to- ward the zeinth that wonderful group inventors Morse and Bell, with Edison the Wright Broth ers and finally the multimillionaires-thosem men of affairs who built railroads and exploited our national resources-the Astors Goulds the Rock efellcrs and Vanderbilts, whose is legion

Cheer Up A feller has his worries, an the
 world looks mighty black, He kind of feels discouraged, there's big load on his back; He ain't got no ambition, an he
 heaves hopeless sigh But therell always be rainbow
 when the clouds drift by. When the world is lookin' darkest, and there nothin' round but gloom,
 Then a feller gives up hopin', an there's nothin' left but doom; But he shouldn't let his troubles cause his mind to mortify- For there'll always be a rainbow
 when the clouds drift by. Straighten up an sing a little, just
 brace up an wear a grin, For old Trouble hates a smiler like the good Lord hates sin; An remember that the blacker an
 the gloomier the sky There will always be a rainbow when

PECORD SAYS JESS
LOST IN THE THIRD
Referee States Big Bout Off
ciaIIy Was Stopped in
That Session
RICHARD PAYS BOTH MEN

Toledo, o., July because of the
controversy over the duration Of the
heavyweight championship contest be-.
tween Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey,
and whether Dempsey should be credited
with a knockout, Ollie Pecord, referee
of the bout, ruled last night that Will
lard had been knocked out in the third
round.
Referee Pecord also ruled that the
fight ended at the close of the third
round, despite the fact that the towel
was not tossed into the ring from viii
lard's corner until the bell had sounded
for the fourth roand. Willard, how
ever, did not leave his chair to answer
the call for the fourth round.
Willard was disturbed last night. by
rumors that he was dying, that he had
been removed to hospital and that he
was dead. The defeated champion has
entirely recovered from the effects OF
the punishment he received. and has de =
cided to motor to his home in Law

is healed. Mrs. Willard and few per :

Richard announced that both the
boxers were paid in full last night
Dempsey was given $27 800 in cash
while Willard received $4,000 in Lib
erty Bonds and the remaining $50, ,00O
of his S1O0. 900 guarantee in cash.

SMITH AND CANS
TO BOX At SHORE
European and Panama Cham
pions to Meet at Atlantic
City Wednesday Night
ELKS' WEEK ATTRACTION

An inter racial middleweight bout de :
tween champions is one of the attrac-
tions during Elks' Week, whose con
vention opened today at Atlantic City.
Jeff Smith, holder of the European
titular belt, and Panama Joe Cans,
15s- pound king of the Isthmus region.
will meet in an eight round match
Wednesday night at the Atlantic City
Sporting Club. At the request of a
committee of Elks. Promoter Herman
Taylor decided to put on this contest
the night before his regular show night.
Smith is fresh from ten round vic
tory over Mike Gibbons, of st. Paul,
on the Fourth of July at Kansas City.
He has made big impression on fight
fans at the shore, having shown to
advantage there in two previous
matches, knocking out Jim Booker and
beating Frank Carbone.
This will be Gans's first appearance
at Atlantic City. The negro has been
training in New York for the last
month and Taylor believes the colored
mans cleverness and unusually fastness
will serve him in good stead against
Smith. About six months ago Cans,
handicapped by twenty pounds, defeat
ed the Jamaica Kid, who trained Jack
Dempsey for the match which won him
the heavyweight title, at the Olympia
Club, this city.
Promoter Taylor announced this
morning that no definite terms had been
reached relative to his 100000 offer to
Jack Dempsey FOR an eight round bout
with Willie Meehan at the Inlet Ball
Park, Atlantic City. Taylor is keeping
the wires hot to Toledo in his endeavor
to get Jack Kearns to come to terms.
Other bouts booked for the shore

Frank Moran Is Seeking
Bout With Jack Dempsey

Toledo, July Frank Moran.
who once attempted to beat Willard
and failed and who predicted Will
lard would defeat Dempsey. now
seeks n match with the new title
holder. Moran said he would like
a twenty round bout with Dempsey
for the championship. In picking
Willard as victor over Dempsey,
Moran seems to have been influenced
by his belief that if he failed in his
contest with the champion, Demp.
sey could not succeed.
The opinion among experts still
on the ground is that Moran. who
is one of the slowest heavyweights
in the country, would be lucky to
last round and a half.

FIGHT PICTURES BARRED
Films Of Willard Dempsey Bout May
Never Be Seen In Public

Columbus, o., July THE Willard
Dempsey fight pictures may never be
seen by the public.
In Ohio, at least, they will not be
placed on exhibit. The Ohio censor
board today officially rejected the pic
lures as being unfit to be exhibited in
public.
The probability of the pictures being
shown in other states is believed to de-
pend upon what construction is to be
placed upon the Rodenburg act, which
prohibits PRICE fight pictures being
handled in interstate commerce.
If the Rodenberg act does not bar pic
lures of boxing bouts and the Willard
Dempsey fight is construed under the
act as boxing bout, then it is believed
here that the pictures may be shown in
other states if approved by the state
censor boards.
Under the Ohio state law the fight
was considered to be boxing match.

Jack Dempsey has nothing on George
Underdown, of Logan. The latter is
also new champion. Not only that,
but he is now the president of the

landing his piscatorial prize without as
sistance.
Before the election of the new presi-
