DEMPSEY ALMOST KAYOED
IN BOUT WITH WILLARD.

TACOMA.-Discussing the Willard
Dempsey bout with a party of sports,
prominent eastern sport scribe was
surprised to hear from one man, who
apparently knew about what he was
talking. He asserted that no one bat
Dempsey knew what close call Jack
had in the third round after Willard
had hit the floor about five times.
Beaten apparently to pulp, Will
lard threw long right uppercut at
Dempsey's chin, and for the moment
Jack, by his own admission, didn't
know where he was. He felt that his
tongue had been glued to the roof of
his mouth and his head crushed out of
shape. OF course, it was a dying eff
fort of Big Jess, but it came near
turning the tide of battle.

Dempsey never advertised this, and
there was no reason why he should
have done so, but it's fact, neverthe-
less.
For some time past it has been
heard that Willard has been contem-
plating re-entry into the ring, and
in fact has been putting in many a
training lick.
One would be surprised at the num-
Der of fight fans who think that if
there is one man capable of giving
Dempsey a real fight he is none other
than Jess Willard. They point out that
sheer concet had lot to do with Will
lard's defeat at Toledo. He was so
confident that he was too big to be
licked by man Of Dempsey's size that
he didn't take his training seriously.
1t is a matter of record among
many who sat night after night with
Willard after training hours, in the

MEETS WITH PAIN
lFUL ACCIDENT AT
B & o CROSSING
Elwood Haas Fails to Note
Approach of North
Bound Train

ElWood Haas, a young man en-
ployed at the plant of the Ameri-
can Vulcanized Fibre Co., met
with a serious accident on Monday
evening at the B. & o. crossing on
North College Avenue.
Haas was on his way to work
about 6:3O and found the safety
gates down for a south bound
freight. When this had passed, he
went under the gate, attempt
ed to cross the tracks and was
struck by a northbound train
whose approach was hid by the
curve. He was evidently dragged
as far as the power plant and
thrown up on the bank where he
was found in delirious state by
John Slack and David Major who
happened along shortly afterward.
They took him to the office of DR..
II. b. Pearson who dressed his
wounds temporarily, gave restara-
tives and sent him to Delaware
hospital on the train due here at
TIL. DR.. Peason made every ar
rangement for his care and the
dotcors there found that he had
sustained serious injuries to his
head andface. Fracture or con-
cussion of the brain was feared,
but an X ray taken yesterday
failed to show this. Reports from
the hospital indicate that his con-
dition is very good. Mr.. Haas is
married and lives on Maple
Avenue.

the one which at the close of the
carnival shows the biggest finan-
cial return.
This accounted for the worried
and harassed expression worn at
intervals last night by H. L. Bon
ham, Frederick Ritz and DR.. T. F.
Manns upon whom devolved the
responsibility of making the first
two of these awards.
According to DR.. Manns who
announced the awards, the deci-
sion was unanimous in giving the
prize for the most original to the
candy booth of which Misses AL,
berta Heiser and Dora Law were
joint chairmen. They accordingly
received a handsome cut glass
compete.
To decide which was the most
beautifully decorated booth pre-
sented more of a task but the
judges finally decided upon the
fancy-work booth and the chair
man Mrs. George L. Townsend
was presented with a dainty bud
vase.
The contest for the most popu
lar young woman in town was en-
livened considerably by the sight
of the beautiful wicker chair of
fered as prize to the lucky win
ner by Miller Bros. of Whining
ton.
At the close of the contest last
night Miss Alice Davy was lead
ing with % votes, Miss Edith
Spencer stood second with 27, Miss
Dora Law, third with &c, Miss
Cornelia Pilling, 16.
Two young men were backed by
last nights crowd: Coach H. B.

and Pierce Crompton, &c.
The winner in this contest will
receive a handsome leather cush-
ioned Morris chair donated jointly
by The Evening Journal and Mil
Ter Bros.
The Post Office, where one might
buy and send to the object of ones
affection a gaily colored valentine,
was an exceedingly popular place,
the supply being nearly exhausted
in less than an hour. The names
of those receiving mail was read
by, George L. Medill, before the
crowd began to thin out.
When confetti throwing, knock
ing down ten-pins and ringing
canes had begun to lose their
charm, the young folks clustered
'round the piano and asked for
dance music. A few danced but
not until. Tom Armstrong and
Clyde Poole mounted the plat
form and gave the "real thing in
