METHODISTS dine and
HEAR OF CENTENARY

The Centenary campaign inaugu-
rated by the Southern Methodist
church, was explained and given pub
lie announcement last night at ban
quet in the Windsor hotel. Every
seat in the main dining room was
filled.
H. E. Allen acted as POSTMASTER
Rev. George Matthews offered the
prayer. Rev. Guyton Fisher was call
ed on and he explained that he was
the commissary department" and
declined to say more.
Rev. E. E. Clements, missionary
from Cuba, made an appeal for Cuban
missions, saying that the success of
the Centenary would give to Cuba
adequate building and means for car
rying on the work htere.
W. c.. Wright, from Fort Valley,
said that if the Centenary succeeded
it would take the time and efforts of
the busy men to do 1t. He begged that
the busy men lay down their tasks un-
til success was had.
Rev. r. D. Ellis, who is in charge
of the Centenary movement in South
Georgia, gave the principal address of
the evening.
This is big thing and it will
command the respect of men who are
in the habit of doing big things-of
thinking in big terms he said. 1.-THE
success of the movement will mean
that other evangelical churches will
take hold and do what the Methodist
church is doing. We're we to fail, the
other churches would hesitate to
start"

HAVE BEEN CHOPPED

denied that athletic relations with
GaIlaudet had been broken on
though admitting that the basketball
game scheduled for tonight at Knn-.
dali Green had been Cancelled by the
Blue and Gray.
Georgetown has no athletic reIa-
tions' with Gallaudet." is the Official
statement from Georgetown. There
fore they could not have been broken
OF:
Georgetown agreed TO two basket
ball games with Gal1audet on being
informed that Gallaudet had erected
a new, large gymnasium. For the
game at the Hilltop two officials were
named, Jim Colli1ower by George
town and Bryan Morse by GaIlaudet.
The latter, however, for some reason
declined to act and CoIIifiower work
ed alone. His record as an unbiased
official is too well known for discus
sion. -.--.--.--.-.-..
Morse insisted that he could not
work the Kendall Green game alone.
He asked that two officials be named.
Georgetown had men at Kendall
Green for the Virginia game and
CdulAE Sd" LAAGA 1AOA 81 was AASl4G IA
his contention. So, as Morse had
been named by Gallaudet for the game
at Ryan gym. Georgetown named Col
lifiower for the Kendall Green game.
Thus the same two officials expected
to work at Georgetown were expected
to work at Kendall Green,
"Gallaudet, however, protested
against COllifower. We then replied
that Georgetown would be satisfied
with any other official who was
known TO be experienced and fair in
his decisions. Earl Fuller was named,
but neither Georgetown nor Gallau-
det seemed to know him, and without
any other candidates. the whole thing
fell through. Gallaudet refused to
accept ColliflOweF. Morse insisted on
a second official and no agreement
could be reached.
There's the whole story. George
town Cancelled the game, but that's.
all that could happen"

Jack, remember I am paying Will
lard as the champion 100000, and Of
course you know that Dempsey is get
ting a great opportunity in facing the
champion. Just imagine what loads
of money your man will make If he
wins the title from willard I think
S25, 900 would be a fair purse for your
man."
But il my man did not win, it
would not be enough to pay for the
time and trouble. I think $4,000 is
the correct figure"
Rickard began to think, and there
was a count of six before he spoke.
Then he said:
Jack, we will leave IL to a vote
Of the newspaper men as to what
Dempsey shall receive"
Sports Scrfbes' Votes Decide I'urse.
Done" said Kearns, and the ballots
were cast in a jiffy. The vote was
seven for 1900, a compromise fig
ure, while two voted for Richards
offer Of $4,000.
"Is that satisfactory to you, Jack?''
queried RickaFd.
Perfectly" said Kearns, "and Just
as soon as you draw the ar icles ]
will sign them"
Thus, after a conference la3Ling
less than fifteen minutes, Tex RIck-
ard added S27 800 TO the $1,000 al
ready guaranteed to willard, and
thus clinched what should prove to
be the greatest heavyweight match
OF modern pugilism.
The promoter announced that the
same conditions that governed VIII
lard would apply to Dempsey. Under
these terms, Dempsey will not be
permitted to engage in a boxing
contest previous to meeting the
champion.
