meet them, the women wearing their

cloth to present to the c0nquerors. A
head is carried suspended from the
conqueror's neck until It Is taken from

piece of cloth to wear instead. pos.

EVERY MEMBER GET ANOTHER
Indications Are That Big Campaign
Will Double Membership Of
s. American Legion.

The ''every-member-ge t-a-member
campaign Of the American Legion has
begun, and reports received at the ma
tional headquarters at Indianapolis in
dictate that the purpose of the cam
paign, to double the membership, will
soon be accomplished. sl@
10 double the membership Of the
Legion was the ardent wish Of f.. W..
Galbraith Jr., late national comman-
der, who was killed in an automobile
accident at indianapolis. His success
sor, John G. Emery Of Grand Rapids,
Mich, was probably the first member
of the Legion to get a member when
the present campaign opened.
Mr.. Galbraith planned the campaign
short time before his death. He
was anxious to have the membership
doubled by October. 1t now appears
that the campaign will end before that
time.
In his statement setting out plans
for the campaign, Mr.. Galbraith said:
4 .The Legion has earned the right to
do something in national way pri-
marily in the interests Of its organi-
cation, and che time has come to exer-
else that right. propose that the
American Legion shall exactly double
its membership, A tremendous under
taking you say. Yes, tremendously
simple. Just an intensive effort when
every Legion member in the world
shall go out, lay firm but friendly
hand upon buddy and sign him up.
Every member get Z member-and the
sob is done"

Extensive Improvements to Grounds
After Season.
The Brattleboro Baseball league. which
is now well under way, bids fair to be
an interesting proposition, not only dur
ing the season but at the close as well,
for through the generosity of the mer-
chants, the league is now able to offer
to the players prizes well worth their
best efforts. Not only will these prizes
have tendency to promote the better
efforts of the players, but it is hoped that
it will stimulate the interest of the fans
in following and supporting local
league to such an extent that at the end
of the season there will be funds enough
available to make extensive improve
ments to the playing field =
1t s.not the intention of the directors
of the league to incur any financial obli-
cations that cannot be properly taken
care of by the receipts of the games
however it would be gratifying to them
if the fans support the games to such
an extent that the aforementioned inn
provementS could be negotiated either
late this fall or early in the spring. There
is every reason to believe that after last
Saturdays exhibitions, and the added
good baseball the fans who get behind
this proposition viii not only help d good
cause along but will be treated to some
good baseball.
/ The prize for the team winning the
championship of the league will be a large
cup mounted on an ebony base, which is
offered by the Draper Maynard Co, who
manufacture the baSeballs now i'm use by

Guilty knocking out Bill Brennan" is g
question heard often as the coming battle
between the champion and Georges Car
pentier is discussed.
Dempsey's work in camp at Atlantic
City for the past several weeks has failed
definitely to make this clear. In train
ing, the champion is buoyant and has
been making short work of the numerous
sparring partners imported into the
camp by Manager Jack Kearns. None OF
these, however, has been of class really
capable of testing the champion.
A cash over the eye from a wound re-
ceived when training at Toledo two years
ago, has retarded Dempsey's work to
some extent.
Dempsey viii enter the ring at Jersey
City weighing a little more than 100
pounds, which is slightly heavier than
was his weight at Toledo, two years ago.
His trainers at Atlantic City have care
fully guarded against staleness. His box
ing has been curtailed several times. In
the last two weeks. he will have a few
pounds to take off by increasingly strenu-
Gus work which should bring him to the
desirable peak" Immediately before the
bout.
Before the outbreak of the war in Au-
gust, 1914, Carpenter fought several
other battles. beating George Mitchell by
a knockout in one round; Hubert Roc
in three rounds and Philippe Robinson
in like number. He won two other
bouts on fouls, one from GunbOat Smith
in six sessions and the other from Kid
Jackson in four. -
The bout with Gunboat Smith in Lon
don is the most unusual episode in the
interesting career of this boxer and marks
possibly the only instance when the
shrewdness of Manager DescampS over
stepped the bounds of craftsmanship.
Carpenter looked like a certain. win
ner in the first round when he dropped
the American for the count of nine.
Smith. however. showed his remarkable
ability to take it, by coming right back
and turning the tide of battle in the third
round. They fought on equal terms I'M
