MOVIE ACTOR HAS IL =
CHALLENGED DEMPSEY

When Jack Dempsey outfought
Jess Willard at Toledo ON July 4 and
won the heavy weight championship
OF the world, he turned the trick so
easily that there was considerable
agitation among the boxing fratern-
ity as to who would be the next log
ical contender for the heavyweight
crown.
With few exceptions the field is
bare of prospects able to put up the
kind of battle that would entice the
title holder into the ring. Now comes
Elmo Lincoln, moving picture &C.
tor who has won fame as 1.-THE Her
cules of the Screen" who wired a
challenge to Dempsey from Califor-
MIA last week. And the young giant
of the picture camera has such a
good chance of putting up a scrap
that may lose Dempsey the title that
he has attracted James ]. Jeffries
anu James >. Corbett, both former
champions, to his camp. Lincoln now
has representatives in Chicago and
New York, camping on the trail of
Dempsey and his manager.
James J. Jeffries has wired the
following statement in support of his
faith in the young movie actor:
Il have carefully examined Elmo
Lincoln and see in him the ability to
put up a wonderful battle against
Dempsey. am convinced Lincoln
has strength and endurance. What
we must teach him is speed. He has
never boxed professionally but he
has wrestled and fought to the linn
1t OF a mans endurance in motion
picture work. think so much of
his chances to put up a scrap that
am willing to associate my self with
Jim Corbett in supervising his train
ing and my ranch near Burbank, Cal.
is at his disposal for the establish
ment OF a training camp.

Presentation to Gen. Scott.

TTCScutdtlOu " 0Cus OSOt.
The civilian community surround
ing Camp Dix rendered tribute to
Major General Hugh L. Scott, who re-
tired as camp commandant on Sun
day, when a delegation representing
about 80 families of the neighborhood,
paid surprise visit to the General and
his wife at the official residence on
Thursday night, and presented to them
fine silver service. Members of the
surprise party said they wished to
express their appreciation as citizens
and neighbors of the manner in which
the general has conducted Camp Dix.
Whereas they had visions of fields
overrun with trespassing soldiers, or
chards and hen roosts stripped and
other damage done to crops and prop
erty when the idea of the central train
ing camp here was preached, they not
only had been safe from molestation
by the fine young men training here,
but that the entire order of the district
adjoining the camp was improved and
they had come to look upon camp as
an honor and blessing to their COM
munity.
The service bore the following in
scription: Presented to Major General
Hugh l.. Scott, U. S. A., as token of
the esteem in which he is held by his
neighbors at Camp Dix" The Gen.
eral and Mrs. Scott were as delighted
as they were surprised.
1t was the second civilian tribute the
General has received within week as
a few days ago civilian war work lead
ers representing the county, in a
gathering at Burlington, presented the
General with symbol of their appre-
citation of his work.
