Chicago Man Says Coolie
Angered by American Money

1.-THE people of Japan-at least some
of them-take a peculiar view of the
United States" remarked Jonas H.
Mayer. Chicago business man, just re
turned from the Orient, who was a guest
of the Hotel SEVERN last night.
Mr.. Mayer rode out of the harbor at
Kobe, Japan, in the hold of the ship
Empress of Asia, where he was placed
by the captain for safety, he said The
day he was ready 30 sail he got rid OF
his japanese money. When he came to
pay the owner of a ricksha for a ride
across the city he gave the cOolie sill
yer half dollar Of United States mint
age.
THE coolie deliberately spit on the
coin, threw it down and exclaimed, /
take no American money" said Mr..
Mayer ~ then punched him in the jaw
and ran for the American consulate. He
said he was powerless to help if l was
arrested. ! was arrested all right, but
escaped by topping over my captors, and
then ran for the boat. The captain was
a good scout and hid me away until we
got to sea.
I'm going back to Japan" declared
Mr.. Mayer, land I'll tell the world that
10 foreigner can spit on any Of my
American made money"
Mr.. Mayer declares that Japan is too
wise" to clash with the United States.

League Holds Up MesOpOtamia'
and zap Questions.

GENEVA. June 1S.-The Mesopotamian
and zap questions have been tentatively
settled in favor Of the United States.
While final disposition of these prob
lens must be arranged in conferences
between the United States and the allies,
American diplomacy carried its initial
point when the League of Nations coun-
Gil decided that American approval was
necessary in the ALLEGATION of mandates.
Dr. Gastoa Ia Cunha, in turning over
the presidency to yiscourt Tshh of Japan,
pointed out that the United States had
sent a note to the league that it would
recognize no mandate to which it had
not given consent.
In addition he said the United States
had not replied to the leagues invita-
ton to send representative to dis
cuss mandates. In view of this, he said,
1t would be impossible for the council TO
proceed with the question, although II
was urgent.
The retiring president said he would
send a note to the allies and the Cnlteo
States. urging them to reach an agree
ment which would enable the council TO
approve the mandates before Septeml er,
when the league assembly will finally ap-
prove the plans.
Herbert Fisher, for Great Britain, re-
piled that his government would take
up the mntter with the United States
Immediately.

Jeffries Now Urged as
Referee for Title Bout

ATLANTIC CITY. y. J.. June 10
Robert Edgren, stakeholder and final
arbiter of all disputes between Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpenter, and
Tex Richard, promoter of their match
at Jersey City. July ?, favors the selec-
tlon Of James J. Jeffries. former worlds
champion, as referee Of the championship
contest.
EdCren made this announcement after
another conference with Jack Kearns,
manager OF Dempsey, on the referee stu
alton, over which there is a controversy
because Of the desire Of the New Jersey
boxing commission to appoint a New
Jersey referee as the third man In the
ring. Kesrns is opposed to the selection
of Harry Ertle city marshal Of Jersey
City, who is unofficially said to be the
choice of the commission.
If the referee finally is left to me
for selection, l sE&il recommend the
choice of Jeffries." Edgren said. He
has an unimpeachable reputation for
honesty. he knows the game, and has
world wide reputatio as former cham
pfon.
when the Carpentier-Dempsey match
was first made I was the choice of the
principals as referee. But I am willing
TO step aside in favor of Jeffries or any
one else If the situation can be adjusted

Battling Chez Gets
Strengthened Out in

BY SID MERCER.

ATLANTIC CITY, June 1S-Battling
Ghee, heavyweight person from Mem

Dempsey kin hit lax a mule kin kick. ="
Following his first experience as a
sparring partner Of the champion Friday
afternoon the Battler proppcd himself
weakly in front of a mirror in the cot
tage Of Dempsey's sparring partners and
ruefully contemplated a recent extension
Of the right side of his mouth-a cut
about three quarters of an inch long

gerry fingered his pulled brunette fea-
lures. His eyes had a far away look like
those OF gent who has attempted 10

In fact, Mr.. Chez wasn't altogether
there. He was trying to pun himself
together mentally and physically. He
had been monkeying with the Dempsey

trailed him for an interview.

GUARDING EYE
CHAMPS ONLY
PROBLEM LEFT
COrbett Says Dempsey Is All
Set if He Can Protect In
jured Optic.
ONLY TWO WEEKS MORE
BY JAMES j. CoRBETT.

Former Worlds Heavyweight Champion.
ATLANTIC CITY, June 1S.--Jack
Dempsey is taking good care of the eye
that was injured when Larry Williams
accidentally butted him about two weeks
ago.
The injured eye-his left one-has
healed up nicely, but is still tender and
he cannot afford to take chances of re-
opening the cut, SO his sparring part
punches off the left side of his head He
wears a head gear and gauze to protect
the eye.
The champion cannot take too much
care of his eye. There have been scores
Of cases in boxing where pugilists have
been beaten because of being blinded
by blood from cut on eyebrow.
Years ago Joe Cans lost a fight against
Frank Erne, in the old Broadway Club
In New York, as a result Of a cut over
one of his optics. The clever Cans was
SO confused and blinded by the dripping
blood that he was almost helpless against
Erne.
Georges Carpenter has a quick right
band. Furthermore, he is L clever boxer,
and if Dempsey's eye should be opened
at Jersey City, there is no telling what
sort Of an advantage it might give Car
pentier, a willy scrapper who certainly
would make the most Of it. AS for that
you know the old saying-"all's fair in
love and war
The big fight is just two weeks away.
With a fortnight to 90, Dempsey is in
fine condition, and as his training cam
patgn is being conducted now, 1 believe
he will be able to continue working al
most every day without great danger Of
overiraining.
Much depends on the amount of work
he does. Since he resumed his gym
stunts and his boxing he has cut the
period Of his daily stunts to about thirty
five minutes of fast, hard work Within
a few days more, providing all is 60
ing Wei, he probably will pitch in for
a much harder workout now and then
just to assure himself that he is really
as good as he feels.

International News Sports Editor.


NEW YORK, June 1S.-Which of the
rival fighters-Dempsey or Carpenter
Is getting the greatest benefit out OF
his sparring partners?
Since the champion and challenger
started training this question has been
discussed pro and con, but as Carpen-
tiers work has been done mostly in pri-
vate, it has not been answered with any
degree Of certainty.
Carpenter appears to be in very fine
condition. The same may be said Of
Dempsey But an athlete may look
physically fit fer battle and still lack
the toughness he will need in the ring,
and this is the business of his sparring
mates
A comparison of the men who are as
sisting Jack and Georges to round into
shape apparently shows a balance in ia
vor of the champion.
Dempsey has four big fellows-rough
and ready mixers, Burke, Chez, Renault
and Williams He has Irish Patsy Cline
and Joe Benjamin to help him develop
speed. And Jack Kearns is constantly
on the lookout for tough big fellows to
work with him.
Carpenter started with Jeanette, Jour
