ECONOMY CONSIDERS
INCORPORATION; TO
VOTE IN SEPTEMBER

ECONOMY, Ind, Aug. 20. = The
question Of incorporation of the vii
lage OF Economy is agitating this COM
munity at present, advocates and
opponents of the plan being very
evenly divided. It is argued by pro-
ponents that incorporation will provide
a better government, while opponents
charge that Incorporation would mean
additional expenses with no additional
improvements over the present system.
A special election probably will be
called to determine the question,
about Sept. 81, although the date is
not yet set. Villagers on both sides
are active in canvassing for or against
the proposition.
Was Defeated Before.
The same question was brought be-
fore the village some years ago and
defeated at that time by one vote. 1t
is thought that the decision may be
close this time also, but proponents
are depending to some extent upon the
women vote which they believe will be
thrown for incorporation.
1t is required, before an election for
incorporation, that a map of the terri.
tory. and an accurate census, be pre-,
pared and exhibited for so days in
some public place, while notices oil
the election are posted in three places
in the territory. The time of the
special election is fixed by the com
misSioners.

RIxEY, IN STRUGGLE
WITH GIANTS, FAILS
TOSTOP GOTHAMITES

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Eppa Rixey
failed in his attempt to subdue the
Giants Friday afternoon on the Polo
grounds, and the home team rompec
off with the victory by an TO 3
score. The big left handler lasted less
than three full innings and during his
stay on the hill was touched for eight
safe blows.
This made more than enough runs
in the first two innings while Rixey
was on the hill to win the game. They
scored three in the first and four in
the second Donohue, one of the SEN
sational finds of the season, was
called upon in the second inning, with
two men out and four runs across the
pan He put an end to the heavy
smuggling of the Giants and let them
down with four hits during the re-
mainder of the game.
Barnes Is Hard Hit.
Jesse Barnes. who did the hurting
for the Giants, was pounded rather
hard by the Reds, but some sensa-
tional support by his team mates,
especially on the part of Burns and
Bancroft. Two great catches, one by
Burns and the other by Bancroft, pre-
vented a lot of trouble in the third
inning. after Bohne had led off with
a single.

Pugs Steering Clear of Gotham
Because of Weird Ring Rulings

White landed ten shots TO every one

hooked and jabbed Dundee at will.
Several times he rocked the Italian.

White drove Dundee to the ropes at

everything but the moonlit sky above.
Wins Eight Rounds
White won at least eight of the III
rounds-won by a margin so wide that
as the men entered the ninth session
10 to i was being offered, without
takers, that White would win the de,
cision. Through the ninth White con-
tinued to smash Dundee all around
the ring The Italian attempted rally
in the tenth but White held his own.
The judges thereupon called the con-
test a draw while a niagara of Kisses
and booes came from the crowd.
AS is usual when such strange deci-
cisions are made, the hint of scandal
has followed. Before the battle began.
the gamblers who ran amuck and
undisturbed at all New York ringsides,

that someone take their bets. II they
had been betting Jack Dempsey agains;

Dundee can't lose" they insisted.
Dundee Did Lose

Solitary confinement for the next
40 years is the deserved portion of
some of the Judges" who opera te
around the Gotham rings. Unless
they meet such fate-or one a little
worse-theyH ruin the fistic game
with their weird rulings.
Ever since boxing performed its
Empire State comeback and the two
judges-one referee system became
vogue, the outraged public and the
fleeced warriors have been bowling:
"Out with the judges"
The system isn't wrong-but the
judges are. AS one reviews their de-
cisions of the past, it would seem tina t
most of them either PREJUDICE a bat
tie or sit at the ringside with their
eyes and ears closed until the final
bell rings. Otherwise, they never
could have arrived at some of the
conclusions which are now in the rec
ord books.
Acute Stage
The situation has reached a stage
SO acute that many of the headline
warriors of the nation have refused
to battle again in a New York ring
until the judges plan has been abol-
ished or new and competent officials
are appointed Benny Leonard fatty
stated some months ago that he never
again would risk his title in the hands
of men who seem wholly ignorant OF
what constitutes the scoring of ring
points.
Other fighters in the various classes
have practically boycotted the New
York rings, which simply means that
if some of the officials aren't removed
in hurry therell be no more class
battling in the Big Town.
Perhaps the most atrocious of ths
many weird rulings of the judges was
made a week ago in the Charlie
White-Johnny Dundee melee. Thu
singular fact is that Tommy Shortell
who Judged" at the O'Dowd-Wilsol
fiasco in New York last March, wa!
judge at the White-Dundee affair.
Wins Points
O'Dowd, according to ring experts
won at least IL out of the Is decisive
rounds in the 15-round mill with vii
SON. Yet Shortell voted in favor o
Wilson, which provoked a maddenet
demonstration by the crowd and cor
siderable scandal afterward.
With the same Shortell at the rims
| side a week ago, White gave to Dur
dee the worst beating the New Yor
| Italian has suffered in years.

KIWANIANS CINCH
COMMERCIAL PENNANT

By trimming the Press baseball
team Friday afternoon on the Exhibit
ton Park grounds, the kiwanis prac-
tically cinched the pennant in the
Commercial league. The game was a
hard-fought battle from the start to
the finish, and it was anybody's game
up until the last man was out The
Kiwanis, to be dropped out of first
place. would have to lose all the re-
naming games on their schedule.
The first inning saw the Clubmen
get enough runs to give them a very
comforta BILE lead, only to have the
Press come back and score four runs
in their half of the second after XII
wants had scored one in their turn.
Move was in fine form and let the
Press down with only six hits. but
his support was not what it should
have been, and errors were largely
responsible for the Press tallies.
The Press rallied in the fifth and
came within one run of tieing the
score before three men had been re
tired. The Kiwanis sewed up the
game in the first half of the sixth by
scoring one run. while Move was in
vincible during the Press's final turn
at the bat in the sixth inning. He re
tired the Press in one, two. three or
der.
Wilson started on the hill for the
Press and was relieved by Runnels
in the fourth, with two men on base
!, Runnels was effective and allowed the
Kiwanis only one run the remainder
of the game. The score:
