By JAMES S. CAROLAN

CHAMPIONS and championship con-
~ tenders are flockng to this city. The
Quaker metropolis seems to be the CEN

boys as Kilbane. Cal Delaney, Johnny
Mealy. Joe Tiplitz, frankie Daley,
frankie Brown, Jack Russo, Benny
Kaufman and dozens Of others working
out
Six Former Foes

twice fought Frankie Daley, bat!ed
Benny Kaufman and Happy Davis once
and recently engaged Mealy and Frankie
Brown. Cal Delaney, his present spar
ring partner, Is the sixth. All six were
sparring in different parts of the gym.

the boys. proved to be very sociable,
then excused himself to engage in
lively game of handball.
Philadelphia Jawn was kept very
active keeping the boys on the move
He refereed spirited game of handball
between Kibane and Delaney Kilbane
also walked away with the honors after
thirty warm minutes of battle.
Herman did his sparring with Jack
Lester. The bantam king meets AL

WILL VOTE today ON SIHANTUNC AMENDMENT /
DD THE EARTH, OR DID THE SKY,
SWALLOW UP LITTLE BILLY DANSEY?
Prize Baby Has Disappear
ed in Most Mysterious
Fashion.

HAMMoNToN, N j., Oct. 16.-Did
the earth open up and swallow little
Billy Dansey, the perfect baby?
Or was he swallowed up in the skies Z?
A thorough search has been made
of the entire countryside, but no trace
of the little fellow has been found.
Police discovered small footprints
near a patch of woods but they have
led to nothing and they are the only
approach to a clew the searchers have
had.
But, neighbor says he saw huge
eagle soaring over the neighborhood
on Wednesday, October S-the day the
boy disappeared. The eagle had a
wing spread of seven fee., said tho
man. 1t would be capable of carrying
away a 4O-pound sheep. Little Billy
weighed only thirty pounds.
AS time drags on hope is felt that
the child is alive for every foot OF
ground has been gone over time and
again.
Buck" Doerr, an old deer hunter
who is familiar with woods and under
brush, headed the entire populace in
search for the child.
Airplanes have been used extern
siYely.
Boy scouts and returned soldiers
have secured the woodland many
times.
One theory is that a rejected suitor
of Mrs. Dansey stole the child. She
says she was threatened by this man
in Pittsburgh, her home, when she
married Hercules Dansey.
Another theory is that a political
enemy of Charles White, living next
door, stole the child believing it was
Whites little boy. The youngsters
greatly resemble each other.
All gypsy camps have been under
close scrutiny but to do avail.
For. days MRS DShSey directed the
search : Finally almost PROSTATE, she
was forced to remain at home. The
husband and father is with her. She
is in grave danger.
BILLY" Dansey is two years and ten
months old. An October magazine car
ried his picture as the Ideal Register
ed Baby"

LONDON, Oct. 16-Forced back by
the onslaught Of enemies on four

Russians legions on the north have
during the last few days forked ahead

are between the upper and neither

capture in the opinion OF observers
with Gen Denekine's army, only 25
miles south of the former Russian
capital.
In the extreme north the Russian

BILL LWADECLEVERBDT
NOT CLEVER ENOUGH
Sheriff Glover Knows a
Thing or Two About
Chickens.

Last evening Howard Adams, John
Mckinney, Night Chief Boggess and
Sheriff Glover had delightful time
hunting for booze at the home OF Bill
Wade at BellView who languishes in
iaiI this morning. Bill was caught
with the goods last night about ten
o'clock in Hull alley where he stopped
for a moment in his taxi. 1t was
claimed that Officer Boggess saw
some one buy a pint from Bill from
the tad which caused the officer to
make minute investigations IN the car,
though Chief Moran said this morning
he believed Boggess had been tipped
of. AZ any rate seven pints were
found cleverly concealed in the up
holstery of the taxi. Both the car and
Bill were turned over to the county
and according to law the taxi may be
sold by the state as the law provides
that cars found containing whtskey
may be so sold.
The four gentlemen named above
left the city for Behyiew just after the
arrest and searched thoroughly the
home of Wade. Sheriff Glover, how
ever, went on a hunt outside himself,
the search covering carefully every
chicken coop and small shack Of every
kind. Close to a garage were several
outhouses Of various sorts and IN one
of them a lard can was placed rather
high, filled with straw and contain
ine one egg. The sheriff sized up the
situation and decided no hen could get
into that can, even II she got into the
small house, he lifted 1t and below
saw a pint sticking up out Of the dirt.
Two points were found here with signs
that more had been there. In filthy
little chicken yard which adioined sat
a bushel and on top of it another box
directly in the middle Of all the mud.
Sheriff Clover lifted the box and down
underneath were ten pints.
AS these locations had not been
searched the last time the officers
visited the place, 1t was thought that
probably the hiding places had been
used for some time The officers said
they felt we'll rewarded for their trip
In spite Of disagreeable handicaps.
