| In the papers of last week the Frank D.
Hazeltlne Post of the American Legio1
published list of the boys of Waldo
| County who died during the recent Worlc
| War. Since the publication of this list
| there have been many additional names
| handed in, and many of the names which
were on that list have been corrected. II
| is very important that this list be made
absolutely correct, and we are asking
your further cooperation and assistance
in making it so.
| 1t has come to the attention of the Post
| that many boys who claimed Waldo
| County as their home enlisted from other
parts of the country, and died while in
| the service. Their names should be
placed on this Memorial Tablet which
| will dedicate the new concrete bridge
| across the Belfast harbor. Unless the
relatives and friends of such men see to
| it that their names are given to the COM
mittee in charge of looking after this
matter, their names will be omitted
which will be regret to everyone.
The assistance and cooperation of
! everyone of Waldo County is earnestly
requested in order that this list may be
| brought to completion at the earliest DOS
| sible moment.
The list corrected to date is as follows

 set of warrants for the arrest of
 Jersey City officials as well as state officials, charging them with viola | tion of the crimes act which prohib- l its prize fighting in New Jersey. Dr.. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent of the bureau again maintained that he intended seeking impeachment of
 Governor Edwards for permitting the ] bout to be held, but neither he nor MT. Gilson would make public the | names of the officials they expected

 dure will be followed he would not
 disclose. The bureau maintains that
 the New Jersey boxing law which they seek to have repealed, does not permit other than boxing exhibitions, l and the reformers declare Saturday s fstic encounter was a brutal, bloody prize flght.''

ARENA SWAYIS(: EXPLAINED.
Due to Fact That Structure Is All Held
 Together, Builders Say.

New York, July 6.-The swaying of the fight arena structure at Jersey City during the Dempsey-C -Carpentcr fight Saturday waa the subject of ex- planation today by Cornelius $. and Joseph w. Edwards at their office at 1 Montgomery street, Jersey City. The Edwards brothers, who arc brothers of Governor Edwards, built the arena.
 ''The arena structure is absolutely safe,' said Joseph w. Edwards. "It was planned by engineers who know all about strength O! materials. It sWayed because it was all held to- gether. We tested the supports by putting on fve-ton weights and ob- serving the effect with instruments The arena is so built that if it were possible to lift it it would hang all together. All buildings will sway There isn't chimney in the world that is well built that won't sway If it would not sway it might fall to pieces. The posts have eight-foot cen- ters and are s by 10 inches, 10 by 10 inches and 10 by 12 inches. The only possible chance of any break ia in a faulty plank. The building satisfied Building Inspector John Saul, who said fTex Rickard ia insured, but if there should be an accident responsi- ble city officials would be damned for ever.''

ANSWERS MIR. GUENTHER.

Please allow me a little space in which to express myself in regards to MT. Guenther's communication re- garding the defeat of the Mt. Pleas ants on Sunday. It appears to me to be a case of sour grapes on his part for he witnessed the game on Sun day. He surely must have seen the announcement in Fridays papers and if he objected to these young men using the Mt. P1easants name it seems to me he could have pro- tested it before and not waited unti it was too late. I suppose he hates to come out on the small end.

 ''The victory of Dempsey over Car pentler,'' he writes, constitutes the continuation of triumphant brutality. The 2nd of July, 1921, will be famous in the annals of barbarity.

ROBS RUTH OF HOMER,
Enthusiastic Fan Interferes with Ball
 That Hits Edge of Stands.

New York. July 6.-Baba Ruth would have been credited with two home runs instead of one in the box scores published today had not an enthusiastic fan tried to catch the ball yesterday. Ruth's high drive mingled with the clouds and was de- scending just on the edge of the right field stands when the fan jumped up and diverted the ball into the field instead of clasping it in his hands. Ruth was on third base but Umpire Connolly sent him back to second un- der the ground rules
 Ruth has 31 homera to hia credit with New York yet to play three games before reaching the half way mark of the season. At this rate the Yankee slugger would hit at least GA home runs, ten more than last year.
