EXTENSION OF CAR LINE TO GO
 IN STREET CENTER

The Norwood car line, which Is be- ing extended along Thirty-sixth street, north, will be placed in the center of the street, according to a decision of Commissioner W. E. Dick son of the department of public im- provements and A. J. Hawkins. city engineer.
 At recent meeting of 'the city commission a delegation of citizens asked that the street be made wider as the traffic on this street was very heavy and number of serious acci- dents had occurred in the vicinity of Twelfth avenue, north.
 It was ascertained that the street could not be widened without the purchase or condemnation of addi- tional land. M A. Dinsmore, repre- senting a number of the property owners along this street, stated that they would be satisfied if the car line was placed next to the curb and this matter was referred to MT. Dickson and the city engineer. The curve at Twelfth avenue will be widened, 1t is stated, and work on the ear line will probably be started tomorrow.

Francois Descamps says Carpenter will
not be ready to fight on Labor day. He
plans to have Georges rest for six weeks

Both have gone West after coming here
to witness the big fight. 1t Is known,
however, that they are willing to sign

seem TO have the interest Of the whole

There Is no disposition in boxing cir

Il like the game and I want TO see i,

Speaking Of the return OF Jess willard
to the ring, Richard said he would no!

convinced that the former champion could
get into condition.
There are many doubts that willard
could get back into shape after an alb

never did like to train before be retired
and be would have twice as hard q task
TO get IN lighting shape now.
Jack Dempsey is practically alone in
the field As the champion, and a great
champion, be deserves TO get all the work
he wants, but he should not be matched
with any opponent that cannot give him
q contest
Bill Brennan might be entitled to an
other chance al the title but he has been
knocked out twice by the champion.
