Tells Of Many Loans.
Ponzi told Of loans Of $4,000 each
to Henry Ohmielinski, president, and
william S. McNary, treasurer Of the
Hanover Trust Company, which was
Ponzis principal depository and
which went to the wall with his
collapse. His announcement that he

in the day. Ponzi said he had made
loans of several hundred dollars to
the chief Of police Of Sharon and
to John A Ray, lieutenant Of po-
lice Of Somerville.
Showing PonZi stubs for six checks
Of 100000 each, Mr.. Dodge asked
him who obtained the money, and
for what purpose. PonZi replied
that he had withdrawn the money
himself to prevent attachments, and
had deposited it later in other banks.

emily Jack Dempsey will. have to
fight two men when he meets Georges
Carpenter. II the deductions of a
London writer are correct. According
of Carpenter, possesses some sort OIL
a mystic eye. with which he cast a
spell over Beck ett in the recent battle
in London. with the result that the
Trench pugilist had an easy task in
nocking out the befuddled Bditisher:
In the words Of the discoverer of
his alleged dual combination which
confronted poor Beckett during the
aventy-odd seconds he stood before

IS effects felt as follows:
There were two personalities fight
ing Joe Beckett from the moment he
entered the ring. Carpenter was
one. The other was Descamps, his
manager. Descamps is a very excit-
able man. He is a bundle of nerves,
typically French. overf1owing per-
sonality.N whose individuality oozes
from every pore. He does not ef-
fervesce. He exudes.
tier meets Jack Dempsey, Carpenter
will win in six rounds. Watch
Descamps. He is the man who is aid
ing Carpenter with all mental force.
His mentality accompanies Carpenter
into the ring every fight. He is his
unseen, silent partner. and to him as
much as to Carpenter is Beckett in
debted for the blow on the jaw which
finished the fight and took the cham
pionship Of Europe out of his reach.
What was Descamps doing as
Beckett came into the ring? Those
who were near him tell me he was
watching Beckett intently The fact
is. he began to fight Beckett as soon
as Beckett stepped into the ring.
Beckett was constantly glancing
round at Carpenter as he was get
ting his gloves adjusted. There you
have the personality of Descamps be-
ginning to work; impinging itself on
Beckett's brain and beginning its task
of confusing the English boxers
thoughts. Possibly Descamps is not
quite conscious of his own power. but
it is there all the same. This pro-
lection of personality is not hypno-
tism, but it is to be seen operating
everywhere.
"Descamps, they say. feels every
defeat of Carpenter as a defeat for
himself. If you took Descamps' mind
to the analytical table you would find
that he would make a first-class me-
dium. He is a psychic subject. His
personality stands beside Carpenter
in every match, for he has trained

HALL TO SEAT 10000
FOR OHIO STATE QUINT

Unable to accommodate basket ball
crowds in the university gymnasium.
Ohio State University athletic authori-
ties made a ten strike when they Sc
cured the mammoth coliseum at the
state fair grounds at Columbus. The
new hall, which was erected only a few
years ago. will seat up. to 10000 per-
sons and will give the varsity cage
men the biggest and best scene of
action for cage contests in the western
conference. If not in the country.
Extensive changes necessary to make
the coliseum available for the bas-
keteers are being completed A floor
suited to basket ball purposes, which
can be laid in sections and taken up
when the occasion requires, had to be
designed Heating arrangements al
ready provided had only to be connect
ed up. SO that the fans will have plenty
of heat.
Since the admission of Ohio State to
the western conference interest in var
sity athletics has grown by leaps and
bounds. The thousands who were
turned away from foot ball games in
the fall gave ample evidence of the
fact that new accommodate tions were
absolutely essential to take care of
regular patrons.
