LITTLE CHANCE FOR
BOUT IN AMERICA

According to. all that could be CLEANED
yesterday from various sources the Damn
sey-Carpentier bout is Just about as far
up in the air as IL was a month ago and
all the talk that has been expended SO
far Is merely airy persiflage. Charles b.
Cochran is standing pat and apparen tly
has an acc in the hole Any one with n
grain of sense could not help but ridicule
the yarn that the championship bou,
would~be STAGED in New Jersey. IL would
be an extremely optimistic promoter who
would risk half a million for an eight
round contest. 1t would be necessary to
charge admission prices that would be
hey ond the reach of all but plutocratic
fans.
Cochran said yesterday he didn't think
IL at all likely that the contest would be
staged in New Jersey.
Cochran received a cablegram from his
French representative. Victor Breyer. yes
terday in which he stated Descamps had
received no serious offers from any one
but Cochran to date. The Englishman ad-
mtted that he had been approached by an
American promoter to join him in bring
ing off the bout on Labor Day in New
Jersey.
"While giving il consideration" he said.
do not believe that II will draw nearly
as much money In New jersey, where the
bout must be limited to eight rounds, as
in London, where the men can box twenty
rounds"
II should be prepared" he added with
emphasis, Ito give Dempsey more TO box
in England twenty rounds than eight
rounds in New Jersey"
"Descamps has cabled me-" he conclu-
ded. that he holds himself as per con-
tract. entirely at my disposition, and
moreover, he states that he has received
no serious offer from any other promoter
to date"

however, the Engishman's LETT being bit

Reece with a series of uppercuts that had
the latter's head bobbing like cork in

Reece had the first round, and might
possibly have been given the SIXTH in

but Affleck's sharpshooting in the second,
third, fourth, fifth and seventh placed the
honors with the representative of John
Bulls domains. The eighth was a breezy
session, and was about even. Neither
looked to be in danger at any time, and
although in the second round Reece went

oiows with Benny Cohen, who although
billed as the pride of Orange. prefers il
to be known that he is fighting his way
through college. Danny seemed to admire
the scholarly mein of Benjamin and did
Els pest to knock him between every
college from here to Oregon.
In the second round Benny thought he
could hear the murmur of the Pacific
ocean even above the raucous babble of
the mob, but. while tottering around a
little like child having his first paddle
IN the briny, he came to his senses and
began to hit Pavese with everything from

deny that the town needs clecning up,
but why say anything about it?
Just keep quiet or say tlat every
thing is spick and span and every

This really would be a fine scheme
If everybody were blind and dumb,

VIII maintain that reputation so long
as 1t remains dirty. 1t is a depIor-
able situation but it will never be
remedied by hiding our heads in the

The Times-Union suggests that as
a means of getting lot of free adver-
tising Florida should sue the Coun-
try Gentleman for damages for print
ing a map that classified Florida as
a desert and statements that have
done the state irreparable injury
We believe that such suit, if
brought, would be worth more in
showing uo the Country Gentleman
as the prevarica'tor it is, teaching
its owners that the state will not be
blackmailed, and for its effect upon
other publications that seem to take
delight in libeling the South in one
way or another. The author OF the
article accompanying the map has
agreed to make public apology but
apologies will not repair the harm
he has done and the newspapers anu
commercial bodies of the State
should never be satisfied with any
thing less than complete retraction
of every untruthful or misleading
statement made in the Country Cen
tleman, and even this will not do
justice to the state, although it will
be bitter pill for the Gentleman to
swallow.

During the past week some of our
friends suddenly became alarmed
lest we, by frequent reference to the
fact that the town is in need of a
thorough cleaning, give it the repu-
tation of being the dirtiest town in
Florida" Some were very much
surprised that "our editor" would
say such things as have been said,
and are said to have criticised US
severely. If many comments we
have heard on these criticisms ex-
press the opinion of the general
public they succeeded oaly in Great
ing the impression that they were
endeavoring to stir up cloud of
dust in which they might hide and
escape their share of the responsible
ity for the towns condition. Be that
that it may. We give them credit for
being sincere in their criticism,
although they chose to make them
out of our hearing.
Whatever their motive, their rea-
soning seems to us to be cbout as
acute and along the same lines as
The Punta Gorda herald., 1920-04-15
A GOOD REASON.

why don't you help us out in oul
efforts to get the route of the pronos
ed cross-state canal changed to gc
through Fisheating creek, Peace
river and Charlotte harbor?" the
editor of this paper was asked by a
friend in Arcadia a few days ago
The words quoted may not be exactly
those used by the speaker, but the
language used is close enough and
serves to introduce the subject
Doubtless some of our local readers
nave wondered why we have I'D tn
thls time remained silent or this
subject.
Ihere are number of reasons for
our silence and the fact that we have
taken no part in the attempt to have
the route changed. The best one is
that II this could be accomplished it
would not be square deal to our
Fort Myers, Moore Haven and Lee
county friends.
While the towns that would bene-
mt by canal running from Lake
Okeechobee through Fisheating creek
and into Charlotte harbor ware
asleep to their opportunity or too
lndolent to make the most of it. the
people of Fort Myers, Moore Haven
and Lee county worked diligently to
secure the Calocsahatchee canal, and
now that 1T is within their grasp we
do not propose to lend our support
to any attempt to snatch it away
from them or delay its completion.
They have earned it and if they get
1t, and it seems almost certain that
they will, we will congratulate them
on their good fortune.
In one town, ct least, there is con-
siderable discussion of the possibility
of having the CGloosahatchee route
ard the Fisheating creek ,
Peace river route adopted in its
place, and our purpose in referring to
the matter a. all is to make our at
,ltude clear, so that there can be no
suspicion that we secretely favor and
ire aiding in the attempt to knife
Fort Myers, Moore Haven and Lee
county. In putting ourselves on
'ecord in this manner we are certain
hat We voice the sentiment of all
ounta Gorda people.
The Improvement of Peace river
lp as far as Barlow would be of i'm
nense value to all towns along the
liver and we are sure that Punta
'orda people will join heartily with
hese towns in movement to secure
is improvement, but they are too
air to lend their support to any ,
cheme to embarass a neighboring
own, whose people, in the main,
ave been friendly to us, and cheat :
hem of great improvement they
ave earned by years of faithful Z
York.

It's not the reason we may favor
it, but the fact that the Hon. Peter o.

state to bond.

Punta Gordar5 are ratified to
note the interest manifested by the
people of Fort Flyers AID Lee county
in good roads and to know that they
are planning to span the Celoosa hat
chez with a magniticent bridge which
will be a connecting link ir a short
route read from Pu:,ta Gorda to
Fort Myers. This road will shorten
the distance between tie two places
between 21 and "a miles, and when
the Charlotte harbor bridge is finish
ed the route between Fort F-yers and
Tampa will be shortened at least A
miles, 1t is estimated. Tt connect
Punta Gorda and Fort Myers by this
short route will require the building
of but 20 miles of road, and surely
neither place can afford tc sacrifice
the benefits that would accrue to
each because of the cost of building
few miles of roadway. Building
of this prc posed road would bring
the two towns closer together and
make real neighbors of them, which |
is somthing that will never be so
long as their people must travel
over 40 miles Of wretched roads |
Fort Myers has far more to gain by
the construction of the proposed |
bridge and road than has Punta Cor
da. Both will benefit by the short
ening of the distance, but for Fort
Myers opening of the road will mean
also opening of new trade territory
from which she draws none of the
business that is now going to other
distant towns and cities.
