 Before Big Bout

Benton Harbor, Mich, August 24.-- Jack Dempsey, worlds heavyweight champion, who will meet Billy Niske of St. Paul here Labor Day, expects to go into the ring weighing 1S7 pounds, his exact weight when he won the title from Jess Willard. he said at the con- ciusion of his workout today. Tonight he tipped the beam at i00.
 Fourteen months out of the ring ap- parrcntIy hnve done Dempsey little havm so far as condition goes. for his work today gave the impression that he is boxing with the same speed and endurance that characterized his train ing for the Willard match.
 Scarcity of sparring mates caused Miske to slow up his training today. Jack Heinen, a Chicago heavyweight, again proved m easy mark and was fIOorcd several times by the challenger with left hooks and right swings.
 Miske boxed only four rounds.

EVERYBODY PULLING FOR
 PELS TO BEAT TRAVEL FRS

Everybody give long pull now,
 for the Peis to beat the Travellers five straiEbts. True. it will give the
 PeIS a lead in the pennant race.
 but should the Travellers win the
 series they might be gone for the
 pennant. Little Rock meets the
 second division clubs the rest of
 the season. The PeIs. however,
 must meet Atlanta and BirulinGham
 several times, giving the hitter
 clubs chance to knock them
 aloOsc from any lead which the
 peIs might have.
 If the Pels beat the Travellers a least four of those five games ant the Barons win a majority of theil then all that will remain fo' to do to win the pennan will be to win more than half thei games against the other clubs an' then to take the series from New Or leans. If the Travellers win the series then all that we can rely on to stop tn Little Rock aggregation will be the re sistance of the second division clubs which. of course, is most unreliabl quantity.

MARION, Ohio. Aug. s.-The cleo
tion of Gov. James n. Cox, Demo-
cratic nominee for President, means
-four years more of one-man govern
ment. OF the autocracy under which
the Government has suffered for the
past seven years." it was declared in
an editorial appearing today in the
Marion Star, the newspaper OF Senator
Warren q. Harding, Republican NOM
inee for President. The editorial was
a caustic criticism of Governor CoN's
speech OF acceptance earlier in the
day at Dayton. The editorial in part
follows:
Governor Cox's speech OF accept
ance Is not Of the high character
which might haye> been anticipated
from one of the admitted ability Of
the governor. To the careful reader.
it is neither inspiring nor convincing.
Its chief defect is in it's general tone,
The governors friends and followers
will protest to the contrary but the
speech is not the dignified utterance
one would naturally expect from an
Aspirant to an office so exalted as the
Presidency.
1T is impossible to reconcile SOME
Of the governors utterances at Day
ton today with other utterances Of
very recent date. Il thank God, there
fore he says today, that l take up
the standard of Democracy a free
man, unfettered by promises. Has
that Sunday morning conference in
Washington so soon been forgotten?
Have the fetters of the promises
made to Mr.. Wilson and proclaimed
by the governor to the world been
broken?
Governor Cox dwells at great
length on the league of nations, but
his presentation of the issue. while II
conforms to the terms of his agree
ment with the White House. is hardly
so forceful as that of Mr.. Wilson. He
offers no chart to indicate which he
will follow in the event of his cleo
ton.
There is, however, one matter in
which Governor Cox is unquestion-
ably of one mind with the Presi-
dent. We quote the governors
words:',
