TAKE UP BOXING BILL
Tex Richard Is Due in New York To
Talk of Big Fight.

New York, March 10.-Interest in
the proposed championship bout be-
tween Jess Willard, title holder. and
Jack Dempsey. challenger, took on re-
newed impetus here today. This was
due to two causes: First, Tex Richard,
promoter of the scheduled contest, is
due here; second, a public hearing will
be given Senator Gibbs boxing bill at
Albany, Wednesday.
1t was generally believed that Rick
ard timed his arrival so as to be on
hand when the boxing bill is consid-
cred. The close mouthed Texan left
Dallas for the east last Saturday. His
statements that Nevada and Idaho are
out of it until New York and Illinois
take action on their respective boxing
measures leads sport followers to be-
lieve that Richard has an ace up his
sleeve. 1t is the general impression.
however, that the short course will
not find popular favor.
The New York boxing bill will be
passed, according to we'll informed
fight fans, but 15-rounds will proba-
bly, be the limit of the bouts.
Twelve rounds is even more proba-
BILE. But the fans want to see Will
lard and Dempsey mix it over a longer
course.

Governor Allen was introduced by
Sheffield ingalls,. formerly lieutenant

HAASE HEADS HIS PARTY
Elected Chairman of the Independent
Socialists for Germany.

Berlin. March (delayed Hugo
Haase has been elected chairman of
the Independent Socialist party at its
conference here. He declined a pre-
vious election because Herr Daeumig,
communist, was elected vice chair
man. Herr Crispien, the South Ger
man leader of the Independent So
cialists, was elected vice chairman.
The fact that Haase prevented the
convention from swinging to the ex-
the way is being paved for an ANAL
gamation of the majority Socialists
and the Independent Socialists. This
impression is heightened by the con-
cessions made by the government to
supporters of soviet principles.

American military policemen. who
were injured during the fighting to-

at a hospital. 1t is not known how

began when Zimmerman and Wilson

craps. The argument grew bitter and
finally the policemen drew their batons
and severely beat both soldiers.

CUT YOUR SHOE BILLS

Heretofore, soles never lasted me
more than three months, because my
work keeps me walking constantly on
cement. But | have worn pair of
Ne6lin Soles now for more than three
months, and judging from their present
condition, they will last three times as
long" So says G. L. Kerr, manager
of an automobile organization in
Geneva, N. Y.
This extra wear given by Neolin
Soles not only makes the shoes soled
with them cheaper by the year than
other shoes. but the price you pay in
the first place is sometimes less than
for shoes of only ordinary wear.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes in
many styles fer every member of the
family. Try these long-wearing, COM
Portable and waterproof soles on your
worn shoes too. All good repair shops
have them. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., of Akron,
Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels,
guaranteed to cutwear all other heels.

Topeka high school picked the
championship of the Kaw valley bas-

defeating Atchison, "a to 13.
The Atchison team had the advan-

five showed a degree. of speed and
snappy playing that has not been
equaled in many games played here
this season. The efficiency of Parr
and Brewster in guarding was largely
responsible for the inability of the
visitors to slip in few more baskets.
AS preliminary, the Oakland five
