The DeSoto league furnished two ex-
citing games Sunday afternoon at
Hodges tield on a field which was slow
and muddy. but did not dampen the
interest of the players or spectators who
turned out in good numbers. In the
opening game the Smar Millinery
team registered a win over the Wade
Millers by the score of 3 TO 0, which Is,
incidentally, the first time the Wades
have been defeated in an official game
this season. However, the Wades tasted
defeat some five weeks ago at the
hands of the Y, M. !. in a practice
game. The second game was a continu-
alton Of the unbroken string of wins
for the Y. NJ. l., who defeated the Royal
Roofing boys 3 to /.
The first game was a contest where
the Smarts appeared to be the best
mud horses. The bali was wet and
the ground was very uncertain and
oftentimes a player would spill him
self into a veritable lake of water. Man
ager Hockersmith, who has astounded
the soccer fans with the brilliant lineup
he furnished in a short space of time,
hardly had his usual good lineup out

However, this should not detract the
credit for the winning of the Smart

field from the Smart Millinery boys

doubtful If he ever put up a more
ereditable performance. Gill, Martin,
Mead, Brooks, Arnault and various
Jothefs of the Millinery team seem to be
| improving steadily, The Wades got
| some good work from Walsh, Wilson
and Turner. "

TIP FOR DEMPSEY.

Jack Dempsey should follow the tip
of Georges Carpenter II he ever meets
a British heavyweight in a London ring.
The only safe way to win a decision
against those lads is to knock them
cockeyed in the first round. If they
ever get up you never have a chance.
British grit is too wonderful a thing
to be overlooked by a London referee.

BURMAN VS.. HAHN.
I've taken the dope as I've found it,
Regardless the size or style,
But I've yet to unravel the problem
I'm back of the game by a mile.
I've gotten neck-high in the matter
Beyond any sensible plan,
And I'm still up a tree in the great mystery
Is Burman as speedy as Hahn?
I've long ago drifted from mining;
I'm silenced regarding the light; F.,
Any shouting at all about coal will appall,
And | swear, furthermore, l am right.
But while other matters have vanished
AS swift as a dark spirit can,
l still have a doubt in the ~bantamweight bout
That Burman is better than Hahn.

The Kid had signed with Moore for
eight rounds at the Southern and had

in the South. was far from being a
prominent figure in the boxing world.
At the same time the lad was con-
