MARSHAL FOCH
CANNOT ATTEND
Replies to boilers Invitation
to Meet With Legion.

The strong ties that bind me and
will always bind me TO the valiant sol
diers Of America" constitute the keynote
of a personal letter from Marshal Foch
to Franklin O'Olier, National Commander
of the American Legion, received at ma
tional headquarters of the organization
here today.
The communication is a reply to the
Legion's formal invitation recently for
warded through the French embassy at
Washington requesting Marshal Foch to
attend the second annual convention of
the organization, which opens at Cleve-
land, Sept. q.
The noted allied war leader declares
the present military situation in Europe
will keep him on the continent for some
time to come and asks Mr.. OOlier to
present to the delegates his profound re-
great at being unable to mingle with
the conquerors in the World War"
His letter follows:
You have been more than kind to- send
me, through the representative of the
Government in Washington, an invitation
OF attend the second national convention
of the American Legion at Cleveland,
Sept. q, IS and % next.
) WOULD TAKE PRIDE
IN MEETING LEGION MEN.
BE assured that no courtesy could
have afforded me greater pleasure and
qualification than this invitation, and
that my pride and satisfaction would
have been very great to have found my
self once more among the members of
the American Legion with the conquerors
in the great war.
Unfortunately, the present situation in
Europe compels me to remain here, busily
occupied with numerous tasks.
1T keeps me and will continue to keep
me for some time on our continent and
prevents my answering your letter as I
would have liked to reply to it.
But I ask you, Mr.. Commander, to be
toward all the members of the American
Legion, the interpreter of my regrets. as
well as of the profound sentiments of
sincere cordiality and strong ties that
bind me and will always bind me to the
valiant soldiers of America.
Believe me, most sincerely, yours.

Association, announced.
Reading said the Chicago branch of
the organization, reconsidering their vote
of Sunday night on returning to work,
unanimously decided to end the strike
and said that other organizations would
abide by the local organizations action.
A change in the announced policy of
the railroads in regard to the strikes is
the only thing that will prevent the

BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Sept. 6.
Jack Dempsey. heavyweight cham
pion of the world, today staked the
crown he had won from Jess Willard
IA months ago at Toledo, on his hard
hitting prowess in 10-round no. de.
cision bout with Billy Miske, st. Paul
claimant of the premier fistic honor
The champion, 1t was advertised, was
guaranteed a minimum of $4,000.
Dempsey was the favorite, but with
every prospect of a hard fight. So con.
fident in fact were Miske's st. Paul
hackers of his ability to stick to the
limit that they bet freely that the
blows from the man that sent the
giant Willard to the floor seven times
in the first round could not stop the
challenger, and that he would be on
his feet and fighting when the last bell
rang.
Dempsey In Good Condition.
Dempsey apparently was in as per
feet condition as on the fourth of July
at Toledo last year. In his daily work
outs he has exhibited every indication
Of having regained his quickness OF
eye, and his work showed no i'll eff,
fects of IA months of idleness.
form. While he has not the cham
pion's fleetness of foot, his friends
pointed out that he is the only man
who ever fought Dempsey 10 rounds
without being knocked off his feet. He
was better today than at any time be-
fore they said and that troublesome
spinal ailment which interfered with
his work last year has been removed
Like Dempsey, Miske has had long
rest from the ring, having had but one
fight in the last IA months.
WeII-Matched in Size
The men in age, weight, height and
reach are fairly we'll matched. Demp.
sey is 26 years old and Miske is 81
Both men expect to enter the ring at
about 100 pounds. Dempsey is six
feet, one and a quarter inches tall, and
the challenger quarter of an inch
less; the champion has a reach of rs
! inches as compared to Misses II.
The have met before, fighting 10
rounds at st. Paul on May 8, 1918. to
no decision, and six rounds at Phila'
delphia on May % of the same year
with the same result.
Floyd Fitzsimmons, promoter of to-
days fight, expected every one Of the
5000 arena seats to be sold. The big
circle was IS per cent. sold yesterday,
he said, "a hours before the blocks OF
unreserved seats went on sale.
With all seats sold Fitzsimmons
said the fight receipts would approx
mate sl75,000 to 100000. Dempsey
has a guarantee of so per cent. of the
receipts if they are enough to exceed

up, was an easy infield out, Redding-

He advanced on Finkles out and

across with the first talley when Sui

The Eagles came back in their half

With no decision to be rendered,

Johnson Has A Chance
To Win Gun for Good
iBy Associated Pressl

FOREST HILLS, n. Y, Sept g.
The final match in the national all
corners tennis title tournament today
brought together two ivrals Of several
years standing-William NJ. John
ston, of California, American cham
pion, and William T. Tilden, II, Of
Philadelphia, winner of the interna-
tional title at Wimbledon, England.
Although Johnston has won from
Tilden each time they have met, con-
siderable interest was taken in the
fact that Tilden defeated ]. c. Barke
on the British courts, who previously
had won from Johnston.
Johnston defeated Tilden in last
years final round here, and winning
today's tournament would make him
the permanent possessor of the cham
pionship cup offered by the United
States Lawn Tennis Association.
