The first preliminary Is called for
o'clock, Central standard time, when
Harry Greb meets Chuck Virgins, in
the light heavyweight class.
The semi-final is between Bill Tate,
the giant negro, who was Dempsey's
sparring partner at Toledo last year
and again here, and Sam Langford, the
Boston negro heavyweight.
Dempsey and Miske were not ex-
Central standard time. There was
little betting done to-day. There has
been much talk of commissions run
ming into the thousands, but very few
wagers. The Odds were 8 to on Demp-
sey to win, to that Miske wins, and
even money that Miske will lnot be
knocked out.
Towns Population Doubles
Benton Harbor, with a normal popu-
lation Of 10, 900, was rapidly doubling
its inhabitants tonight. Hotels were
crowded to the limit.
Promoter Fitzsimmons was hopeful
tonight that every one Of the $4,000
arena seats would be sold. The sale
tonight had reached between $1,000
and 100000, he said, and that If all
seats are sold the gate receipts will
be somewhere between $4,000 and
100000.
State constabulary are here "COPPER"
ating with police and the Sheriffs force
in handling the crowd and presenting q
carnival of gambling which resulted at
the Leonard W hite bout here July 5.
Promoter Fitzsimmons tonight paid
Kearns the $4,000 guaranteed Dempsey
for the fight.

HumOr In Business

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 We have some humor once in a while in our business. Sometimes we receive peculiar and unique inquiries A man re- gently noticed our ad in The Age Herald offering to help folks to succeed He im- mediately wrote us about love affair Of his and asked our advice as to how ke could win the love of a certain widow. This man was a widower with two or three small children. The writer being a single man and inexperienced in court ship and matrimonial strategy, was in a ouandary as to what to answer this pros- pect. However, we used all the imagina- tion possible together in our office. We gave the man the best advice we could think of, and ended by writing an opti- mistic letter
 We haven't heard as to how his court ship turned out. It is hoped that he used our advice in a practical way and was successful. Yours sincerely.

EDUCATIONAL FUND
 FOR THE Y. M. c. A.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 was greatly surprised this morning to leau the following headline of an article on page of The Age-Herald:
 " M. c. A. Scholarsbips for Ex Service Men Not Sought"
 ms IS very unfortunate piece of pub- hclty' ana does not represent the stua .ion. AS matter of fact I have been pesleged all day with inquiries from men Who gathered the impression from the article that the Y M C. is en,bor rassed by having on hand a large smn, os money for educational purposes that if is unable to spend.
 young man, purporting to represent your paper was in our office the other cay and l gave him a brief interview IF which l discussed briefly our educa- tional programme, and told him some- thing of the progress of our work in date In the course of my remarks rsfarrsd 10 the fact that the general schola rshin Iund' which amounts to $54,OOO, is dis trlouted among the various counties on the basis of populat tion and that the schoiarships are awarded in the various counties by county educational service committees. further stated to him that some county committees had as vet. been rather inactive. while others had aI- ready awarded their full county quota.
 Tn discussing with your reporter the matter of collegiate scholarships. I told nm that the demand was greater thah we could possibly handle unless some additional funds were availahle later on Our collegiate fund for the te amounts to slS,o0o, and about half of this amount has already been awarded with applica- tons coming in every day My own conviction in the matter is that it has not yet been given the right kind of pub- lclty, and that as soon as this pro- gramme is made know 10 the ex-service men over the state we shall have no trouble in awarding the balance of the fund which at this time amounts to ahout S57,OOo, including both the general and collegiate funds. I am receiving in- quiries from all parts of the state and the work is progressing satisfactorily. l feel that this a~ticle should be pi,b- i1shed as an explanation and correclj s,l of the article of May IT, which creates the impression that the Y. M C. A. is actually embarrassed through it's inabil- ity to expend Alabama's quota of the ed- ucational fund, when, as a matter of Afact, we are beginning to wonder just how we can make our limited funds meet the demand that is constantly increas- Ing and pressing upon us. will be very grateful if you will print the above with out modification and give it as much prominence as possible. Yours very truly.
