TODRAW LARGEST GATE
 YET RECORDED
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, June 25.-The Demp- sey Carpenter boxing bout for the worlds championship at Jersey City, July 2, will draw the greatest gate" in the history of sport.
 A month before the fight, Promoter "Tex" Rickard announced that the seat sales totalled $650,O00. Since that day, the sale of all seats has gone on briskly except for tho $50 paste boards, which are exhausted, and the general admission seats, to be placed on sale the day of the tight Rick ard estimates that approximately 65,- 900 to view the ring action at Boyle's Thirty Acres.
 Those figures will eclipse by far all previous records for ring contests or any other sport in this country. The Willard-Dempsey battle at Toledo, O., which established the previous record drew $451,o0o at the box office a puny figure as compared with what the coming spectacle will attract.
 The HarvardYale football game and the Indianapolis Speedway races are annually reckoned among the largest and most widely paronized sporting events in this country. Last fall, 79,- 900 persons were jammed into the Yale Bowl when Harvard met the Bull dog and the total receipts were ap- proximately $250000 about one-quarter of the amount which will be paid for the coming fight. The attendance at the Indianapolis speedway event usu- ally ranges between 100000 and 125,- 900 but total receipts fall short of what Rickard and his assistants will sounds for the first round of the Jer- sey City battle
 Tex Rickard started his career as a promoter of championship bouts on large scale when Joe Cans met Bat tling Nelson in Goldfield, New, in 1906. The receipts for that memor- able battle were $69,715. That figure was topped when Jack Johnson fought Tommy Burns in Australia, on Christ mas Day. 1908, but Rickard again es- tablished high mark in 1915 when boxing fans from all over the country paid $270,775 to the see the Jeffries- Johnson conflict at Reno, New. Fig ures for the Willard-Dempsav bont at Toledo, July 4, 1919, supplanted even that large total and Rickard, in the coming Jersey City match, has en- tered the select circle of "million-dol- lar business men,"
 Gate receipts at leading bouts of recent years follow:

NEW FORD TRUCKS FOR
AMHERST SCHOOL ARRIVE

The two new trucks for the Am
herst schools arrived in Holyoke,
Sunday noon and were delivered in
Amherst that evening.
1t must be a pleasure to attend
school with a chance to ride to and
from school in such comfortable CON
veyances and surely not one pupil
will miss a single day. Time was
when school children had to walk
through deep snow in order to attend
school, and not all pupils nowadays
are permitted to ride to school in a
nice upholstered school bus. Phillips
county is making wide strides in her
school facilities and the pupils should
show their appreciation of the efforts
put forth for their advancement by
diligent work.

MONEY AVAILABLE FOR I
RAGING PRIZES At FAIR
INCREASES MATERIALLY

The Phillips County Fair directors
met In their regular weekly session
Monday of this week. Many matters
connected with the program were con-
sidered and n harmonious decision
reached in all cases.
The board was unanimous in the
decision to cut unnecessary overhead
expenses wherever possible. but that
economy should not be practiced to
the extent that people who attend
should feel that they had not re-
ceived every consideration in both
entertainment and comfort.
The money available for racing
purses increased materially our pre-.
vious estimates. and the public is as
sured that they will have no reason
to complain at lack of entertainment.
The regular base ball tournament
of the Interstate league will occur
during the four days of the fair and
inasmuch as the rivalry has been
strong this feature should draw a
large attendance of fans.
The new grand stand will be com
pleted ~ few days and will be an
immense help in affording comforts
20 the crowds as well as simplifying
the policing problem.
All sections OF the county are dis
playing unusual interest In the plans
and complete success is assured.
