After loafing three days and play ing only two out of four scheduled performances, Moley will trip into town this morning with his very well rested hirelings dropping at his heels. The layoff of the locals has been so prolonged that half the ag- gregation have forgotten the mum Der of stitches in baseball. To add to the timely rest, the return of Doc" Newton to form will fill the local fans heart with elee. Doc" took the trip to Mobile, and it is reported that he is ready to go the limit.

All Champions Fall
 Sooner or Later, Is
 Reminder of Ayers

Here's n brand new one on the Dempsey Carpenter fight. In prac- tically all championship battles the champions have been picked to win, yet ring history shows that some body has always knocked the cham pion lose from his own crown.
 The idea, introduced just that way, is that of Jack II. Ayers. manager of the Lyric theatre, who is staging blow by-b blow matinee of the fight at the theatre Just listen to him;
 When Corbett whipped Sullivan, Sullivan was picked, but Corbett got the crown. When Corbett met Fitz- simmons Corbett was given the de- cision by the experts long before the battle, but Fitz took the belt from Jim. Jeffries then came along and took on Fitz, and. as usual the eX- ports doped the champion to win. Again. the experts were wrong and Jeff defeated Fitz. Then, as you re- member. Jeff hung on to the title a long time, and finally retired.
 Experts still Wrong
 Johnson loomed up in the mean time, and Jeff came back to save she picked him to win, and the negro
 
 we have Champion Johnson meeting Jess Willard. and here again the ex- perts said there was nothing doing to 1t but Jack. Still they were wrong. Jack went down in the twenty sixth round Then along came the Dempsey Willard fight. Most of the experts lined up with Willard, but what happened? Jack beat him uD
 Now then; I am not making d flatfooted declaration that Cham rion Dempsey will be defeated. The point l do want to make, though, is this; they all fall sooner or later. nd all the champs have been doped to keep their belts every time they've los. them. Some day. If he keeps on fighting, Dempsey will lose his title and 1t is not at all improbable that row is the time"
 Mir. Ayers added that he expected great crowd at the fight matinee Fifty electric fans whiting iced air about the theatre will be at work while the ringside wire ticks away.

CLOVES FOR BIG BOUT ARE READY
 FOR MEN'S FISTS

New York. June 3o.--The gloves which Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter will wear when they meoV for the heavyweight championship in Jersey City on Saturday are re- posing tonight in a safe in the office of Tex Richard. Those that the French challenger will don are a trifle smaller than the pair made for Dempseys fists, but each glove weighed eight ounces when tested on the scales this afternoon.
 Each set is dark maroon in color with blue tape wrist lacings. The best of leather and cured wool have been used in their manufacture Car pentier has the choice of the two sets as the first pair received for him from San Francisco. where they were made. was thought to be a trifle too large,
 As a result telegraph order was sent for a second set which arrived today.
 Take Choics saturday
 While the French pugilist has not had an opportunity to try the second set, it Is understood that both pairs will be submitted to him on Satur day for final choice. The differences in size of either set, as compared with those to be worn by Dempsey, was quite noticeable when the gloves were placed side by side.
 Those made to cover the world champions fists are both longer and broader than the pairs built to cover Carpentier's hands. In other respects, however, the gloves are identical Much of the padding is placed in the glove tips, where they fold into the palm of the hand. Other heavily covered sections include the thumb holes and the wrist gauntlets, which reach well up the forearm. Across the underside gloves, about on a l.ne with the second finger joints. is n heavy leather brace which provides powerful grip or purchase, when the fist Is elinched

HIKE SCHOOL TUITION
Maximum VIII Be Increased to 81
a Week

Kansas high schools have been
quick to increase their tuition under
authority granted by a 1921 law, ac-
cording to reports received by the
state department Of education. The
maximum was increased from 81 a
month to 81 week
Even as increased the tuition is less
than the actual cost of instruction in
most schools. The average cost for
each high school pupil in 1920 was
SSS.65 a year. while the tuition for a
thirty-six week school year under the
now schedule amounts to $72 a year
The Lawrence board of education
issued an order recently that parents
or guardians of nonresident pupils
would be required to pay the differnce
between the S72 a year and the esti-
mated cost of instruction in the Law
renee senior high school of $110 and
in the junior high school of $90.63.
After agitation by the business men
and other citizens, however, it was de-
cided such a move probably would
discourage high school attendance
from the rural districts. The order
was rescinded and the tuition fixed at
$72.
The Chanute board of education
has increased its tuition this year but
still does not collect the full amount
authorized by law. The tuition for
students in the senior high school and
ninth grade of the junior high school
was increased from IS to SO a month.
The tuition for students in the sew
enth and eight grades of the junior
high school was raised from 81 to 81
a month, and in the other grades from
$3.50 to SO a month.
The new schedule is considerably
below cost, according to Supt. J. F.
Hughes. He estimates the cost per
high school pupils is sS.49 a month
and per grade school pupil, s4.9S.
The Atchison board increased the
tuition schedule from So to 81
month for high school pupils and from
SO to 50 a month for pupils in the
eight grades. These amounts are just
about sufficient to pay the actual cost
of instruction in the Atchison schools,
according to Snpt H 2. STUDY.
