CANADA'S POPULATION AT
ABOUT NINE MILLION

Ottawa, Ont, July 1.-The popula-
ton of Canada in the census now be-
ing taken is officially estimated at
nine million by the application OF
several methods used by international
statisticians. BY one method it will
be nine and quarter million, by
another eight and three-quarters. but
the department is inclined to accept
the medium of nine million as approx
imately correct, and will be agreeably
surprised if it is exceeded. Statistics
OF births in the various provinces last
year are of interest in connection
with the census. In Ontario, births
numbered 72,492; in Quebec, 83'455
Saskatchewan, 22,51; Manitoba, 49,,

Battling Nelson, who predicted the

two years ago, predicts that tomor-

most viciously fought in heavyweight
history. Nelson will not be surprised
if Dempsey wins in the first round
81 look for the battle to end before
either Dempsey or Carpenter gets
warmed up" Nelson said today. They
are terrific hitters and one of them
will drop in short order. OF course
am sticking to Dempsey. He looks
better to me than when he fought
Willard; he's got more class, knows
more STUFF and is a better and more
polished boxer. You'll remember |
told the boys at Toledo that Willard
would get the punching of his life l..
Well, the same thing goes for Car
pentier. Dempsey looks like a cinch
If he gets a fair shot at his body with
the right hand, Carpenter will be
slowed up for a left hook that will
knock him into somebody's lap"
