Walter Mona han, who trained Willard for his cham pionship match with Jack Johnson at Havana, arrived in camp last night, and with Jack Hempel the coast heavyweight, will work with the champion today.
 Dempsey did not work yesterday, but idled away the tune motoring, swimming and playing around his camp. The champion will not resume his conditioning grind until Sa aturday.
 Tex Rickard was so agreeably sur prised over Willard's condition that he said that picking the winner of the match would be guesswork
 "I do not mean that I look for a draw. but the contest, I believe, will be an even one unless there is a knockout" Rickard said. Willard certainly looks fine. I can tell by his appearance that he has been training constantly and that he has the conf dence of being able to dispose of Dempsey. If I were to wager any money on either man, l would insist on betting it on evens."

YANKEES FINISH
 STRONG AT CLOSE
Hu9ginS' Men Come From Behind
 and Defeat Athletics

Philadelphia, June "A two-nan rally by the infant terribles, Herold Ruel and Aaron Ward, gave the Yan- kees a ninth inning victory by 10 to 9 over the Athletics yesterday. It was a nip and tuck, heavy hitting battle.
 With Philadelphia leading, 3 to &, in the ninth, Ruel walked with one down. Ward, batting for Shore, blazed a hit to center. The ball bounded through Walker and al- lowed both of the fankec youngsters to score.
 For the fourth time in five days Bob Shawkey was called in to finish 8 game for New York. Bob turned the Athletics back in their half of the ninth but will not get credit for the victory as the Yankees were ahead when he went into the box. Shore is credited with the victory. The score:

GIRL AIDS EX-CONVICTS;
WILL WED THEIR LEADER
Prison Record No Bar to
EvaIyn Abbott's Love

BOSTON--Miss Evalyn Abbott
first became interested in the regen-
Grafton of ex-convicts through DR..
Earl E. Dunning, founder of the Pris-
oners' Relief society.
Then she became interested par
ticularly in DR.. Dunning, who served
five years in the Virginia peniten-
tiary for manslaughter and who has
devoted himself since to helping
those who have a prison record to
combat.
Now it is announced that DR.. Dun
ming and Miss Abbott, his assist
ant, are engaged to be married.
DR.. Dunning shot his uncle in A
quarrel. His struggle to come
back" after a prison term broke
down his health and courage. His
own experiences prompted him to or
ganize the relief society, and a large
number of big employers are coop
Grating with him.
No appeals from ex-convicts go I'M
needed and many remarkable cases
of reformation are recorded by the
society.
Jobs have been found for more
than 5000 ex-prisoners.
Miss Abbott has been active in
campaign to raise million dollars
from a million contributors for re-
lief work.

WILSON PASSES ~
BEST DAY SINCE
He BECAME ILL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Presi-
dent Wilson passed the best day Sat
urday he has known since his pres
ent illness began, says Rear Admiral
Cary r. Grayson, his physician. No
operation win be necessary to re-
lieVe the swelling of the prostate
gland, which has complicated the
case, and the president is making
slow but satisfactory progress to-
ward recovery from his nervous eX-
haustion. -..I
This was the conclusion reached
by the * attending physicians after
consultation late Saturday, which
lasted more than an hour and half.
The decision that no operation was
necessary was made by DR.. Hugh
Young, the Baltimore specialist,
while DR. F. x. Dercum, of PhiIa-
delphia, saw signs of improvement
in the presidents nervous condition.
All of the doctors were agreed that
he was making progress toward re-
G. ~ry.
Aside from the prostate complica-
ton, the presidents nervous condi-
ton was not expected by his ply
sicians to permit his return to his
desk at any early date, and the rest
treatment prescribed will be con-
tinued.
Secretary Tumulty announced that
the president and Mrs. Wilson will
not be able to entertain the king and
queen of Belgium and their son, as
planned, on their visit October 27
to so. Vice President and Mrs.
Marshall will act as hosts in their
stead
