charged for the first time to watch
the heavyweight champion in action.

ford and the inclination of Leo
Houck to quit, Dempsey had no heavy
weight sparring partners available this
afternoon. Larry Williams of Bridge
port, Ct, who was scheduled 10 join

sey found it necessary to box with
Babe Herman, a Pacific coast feather
weight, and Alex Trambitas, a welter-
weight.
After punching the bag for 10 MIN
utes and shadow boxing for three
rounds, Dempsey faced Herman, a
speedy youngster weighing 11s pounds.
Herman carried the champion along
at a terrific pace for three rounds,
stepped in and out and around, con-
Meeting with an avalanche of rights
and lefts. Dempsey made no attempt
to exchange punches. contenting him

session with Herman, Dempsey boxed
two rounds with Trambitas, finishing
the workout with some calisthenics.
Dempsey went on the road this
morning for the first time in a week.
He covered about four miles, taking
his two Belgian police dogs with him.
Attorney General Daugherty, who
arrived today to visit the champions
camp, plans To watch Dempsey train

Contest Arranged

Halifax. N. s, May 23.-Capt: Angus
Walters of the Canadian schooner
Bluenose, Saturday accepted chal-
lenge by. Roy w. Pidgeon, owner of
the Boston schooner Mayflower, to race
to a Brazilian port and return. Both
vessels are prospective entries in the
annual North Atlantic fishing fleet
races for the Dennis trophy.
The challenge grew cut of the
charge made by a Halifax newspaper
that the Mayflower violated the rules
of the trophy committee by not leav-
ing port for the fishing banks before
April 80.
Capt Walters suggested that the
two schooners make the return trip
from Brazil laden with salt for the
fishing industry. He also asked Pid-
geon to put up a purse.

OPEN RANGE ASSOCIATION

On Saturday afternoon, March 5th,
the Marion County Open Range Asso-
citation held an enthusiastic meeting
in the courthouse.
This organization has large and
growing membership in this county.
The auditorium was full and there
was rousing meeting.
A number of speakers were intro
duced and nearly every phase of the
subject of the open range was. dis
|cussed. The literature of the Florida
No-Fence League received generous
share of attention and their argu-
ments were shown to be absurd and
even silly.
Delegations from other counties
were present and brought good news
as to the progress of the organization
and the sentiment of other sections.
A constitution and bylaws were
adopted by the body.
The following extract from the con-
stitution shows in part the purpose of
tthe organization:
Article /. This organization shall
be known as the Marion County Open
Range Association.
Article 2. The purpose of this or
ganization shall be:
First. To defend and promote the
live stock industry as operating at
present with the open range system
as one of the important assets of this
county and of the state of Florida.
Second. To cooperate with the
Icitizens of other counties in behalf of
the open range.
Third. To oppose to the utmost
any legislation which would be mimi
cal to the live stock industry.
Fourth. To combat particularly
any effort to induce the incoming leg
islature to pass law or laws, the in
tent or effect of which would be to
close the open ranges of Florida.
Fifth. To counteract the propa-
ganda of the so-called "Florida No
Fence League" the Legislation which
the said league proposes on this sub
ject being untimely i'll advised and
vicious.
