Dear Sir:
AS a result of numerous requests
from your readers, | wish to clear
the atmosphere relative to the Christ
mas Seal sale for the territory in
Arlington county adjacent to Alex

For several years past, the sale of
seals in Potomac, Del Ray, Braddock
Heights, St. Elmo and Mt. Ida has
been under the direction of a county
chairman appointed by the state sec
rotary Of the tuberculosis Associa-
ton. This association is a separate
and distinct organization from the
Red Cross-while many Of those who
belong to one also belong to the other
their efforts are distinct, and the
money collected by each association
are spent by their respective associa-
tions to further definite program.
The money collected by the sale Of
seals in Arlington county, will be
spent in the prevention of tuberculosis
in the county. The plan calls for
a tuberculosis clinic. which will be
open two days a week throughout the
wear; where those afflicted with tu-
berculosis can secure advice and
treatment free-anyone who wishes
an examination to determine the
presence Of tuberculosis can secure an
examination at the clinic.
A nurse will be employed beginning
January 1st, whose duty it shall be

Floors Sparring Partners
FL One After the
Other
AND THEN CALLS FOR
ANOTHER VICTIM
Change Seems to Have
Come Over the Train
ing Methods

Manhasset, N. Y, June 25.--There is
deep.rooted belief in the camp of
Georges Carpenter that the blond
Frenchman will attain his felong
ambition the worlds heavyweight til
| tle--when he meets Jack Dempsey in
Jersey City a week from to-day.
Francois Descamps, the manager, and
j. Wilson, the trainer, appear to be
satisfied that the pugilistic idol of
France is greater than ever and will
repay their highest hopes in the forth
coming battle. They think that he will
make Dempsey dizzy with his speed
and will bowl him over for the count
along about the fifth or sixth round.
Carpenter in their opinion will be so
fast and clever that Dempsey will not
be able to strike him one telling blow.
Even granting that the champion may
land on the Frenchman they say he is
in such condition that it will take
twenty of Jacks hardest wallops to
stop him.
Nobody, they say, "ever has been
able to take the fight out of him and
to-day he is not merely good tighter
but a great one. He is marvel, a
genius.
'1f everything goes right there viii
be a new worlds heavyweight cham
pion week from to-day"
A heavy workout was planned for
the challenger to-day. He was ready to
90 into the training ring and follow
out the instructions TO punch hard.
There were some new sparring men on
hand, but they were kept inside the
training residence and their names
could not be learned. Really serious
training was begun at the camp. This
is evidenced if in no other way than
by the action of the challenger in his
last public appearance Thursday. All
along he had been pulling punches,
smiling and begging the pardon OF OPP
ponents whose jaws he struck too
hard. On Thursday, however, there
was little smiling in so far as he was
concerned and no mercy whatever. He
fioored his men, kept his mouth shut
and waved for another victim. Such
will be the order Of things from now
until July |, when the training period
ends.

in his favor Jim Corbett was approx
mately a two to one shot over Bob
Fitzsimmons when they net at Carson
City.
The total amount Of money wagered
on the coming battle TO date is esti-
mated by New York sporting man
not to exceed SIS, 900. A large part of
this amount has been placed in So
called freak" bets. Odds of nine to five
have been quoted that Dempsey viii
win by a Knockout. Persons who back
Carpenter to drop Dempsey for the
count demand odds of 20 to one. Odds
of 10 to one have been asked by per-
sons who would wager that Carpenter
will not answer the bell for the third
round.
Paris, almost hysterieal in its enthu-
siasm for the French war hero, never
theless is dubious when money is men
toned. Word received here states that
Dempsey rules as eight to five favorite
on the boulevards, with little money
placed.
Betting men believe that the lack Of
wagering is due largely TO the fact
that Carpenters supporters desire yn-
reasonable odds. Also, they declare that
the international aspect of the contest,
while making for the unusul interest
which will draw the greatest gate" in
the rings history, is largely senti-
mental and not conducive to heavy
wagering for that reason.
@The bout does not compare with
the Jeffries johnson and the willard
Dempsey battles at a corresponding pc
riod.s one Broadway man declared
.There was at least $1,000 900 wagered
on the result Of the Toledo BATTLE and
IL is safe TO say that as much or more
changed hands az Reno when Jeffries
lost TO Johnson
