PRES, OBREGON
 APPROACHABLE

Mexico City, July 2.-President Oo- regon has shown on numerous occa. sions lately that there IS notn1ng oI fhe aloofness and unapproachaoll1ty ahout him that characterized h1s pre- dooessor carranza. He frequently dines in public with his wife and at one cafe where there is dancing he nav be found at times escordng friend in promenade although he does not dance.
 At a recent wrestling match ne aroused much applause when ne qul- etly slipped into box and was not at all backward in picking hls man to win.
 He still refuses to use Chapultepec Castle the beautiful presidential home for. a residence preferring to live in a. modest cottage nearby The Castle, however, is frequently used for. small parties and the circle of Obregon's friends is well entertain ed.
 The President disdains pomp and show and even the few state recep- lions he has held have been modest Always a good horseman, General Obregon may be seen almost any Sunday morning on the bridle path and on days of fiesta he frequently joins the automobile parade through Chapultpec Park
 At no time does he carry a body guard, not even on a, recent national holiday when rumors of revolution were rife On that day he passed through thousands of spectators in an open carriage.

Slim Chance
 For Strike

Chicago, July 2.-With the Railway Labor Chiefs gathered in Chicago to canvass the 12 per cent wage cut fully determined to avoid nasty action and hot words, prospects that the committee charged with formulation of a policy-stand by the workers would recommend a strike at this time were slim today The commit tee of five railway labor heads will determine what action will be recom- mended to the 1000 labor delegates gathered here. Their recommenda- ton it is believed very likely will be endorsed by the delegates.
 There was considerable talk today that the railway men will be urged to accept temporarily the wage slash, pending further negotiation, or to back up a compromise proposal of a smaller wage cuts say possibly six per cent.
 It was recognized by the delegates that a strike at this time would not be to their advantage and that the railroads would be less injured by an immediate strike with the industrial depression, than later.

Hot Battle To
 Get Murphy

Sergeant Edward Cassidy. with the assistance of Patrolmen Hennessey and Mccarthy, Special Officer Hook fielder and a patrol driver, succeeded last night in arresting one Frank Murphy, of Galveston, Texas.
 Frank, who is a husky chap, stand ing well over six feet in his sox, was discovered sleeping on the porch of a Fairfield avenue residence late last night. A chewing gum machine was found at his side. and Sergeant Cas- sdy, who first noticed the sleeper, wanted to know How come2" Mur- phy told the policeman that it was none of his business, and the battle was on- The fight was corker while it lasted, but with the odds against him, Murphy was finally subdued.
 In the City court today the Texan referred to the policemen as ''birds'' and guys in spite of warnings is sued by Judge Boardman. Hes claim ed that he had the "hot dog'' and juice" rights with the circus, and said that he had leased the porch on which he was found asleep. After a rather lengthy hearing, Murphy finally drew a. 10-day jail sentence, thereby missing the chance to make some money on his concession today.

These en- Ithusiastic guardsmen plainly showed the effects of their vigil in wrinkled, muddy clothing and haggard expres- .sions Some had cat-napped on boards, newspapers and gunny sacks, all night, lending off the cold damp of the night with a big bonfire They breakfasted on hard boiled eggs, '@hot dogS,' coffee and sand wiches from the stands of vendors that encirc1e the arena
 Champion Dempsey, primed and eager. awaited the hour to defend his title in a Jersey City residence. The challenger left his quarters at Man hasset by automobile shortly after breakfast, for Port Washington where a yacht waited to bear him to the fight city.
 Both had issued last minute state ments, breathing confidence in the outcome.
 Odds favoring the champion had shortened in the last hours of bet ting, but Dempsey still reigned two or two and half to one favorite

 also that if Georges Carpentier is what I have been led to believe he IS, he is an even money proposition against the champion.
 On the other hand, if Carpenter is no better than he demonstrated himself to be in his public workouts at ManhaSset. he will not last more than two rounds
 Jim Anticipates Surprise I am looking for something sensa- tional in this fight: Carpentier. be- one to furnish a sensation Demp- sey's stock in trade has always been sensational knockouts in jig time.
 Dempsey is bigger and stronger assimilate punishment. And he is the champion. It is generally a good idea to follow the champion until he is licked.
 Would that I might have seen Georges fight, however, then I could erase some of the uncertainties that crowd into the pictures. The French man has impressed me strangely. His talk of fights and fighters is highly in- telIigent. His record shows that he possesses a winning punch and that he has stood nVp under several terrific beatings.
 If he has the nerve and control he has led me to believe he possesses will not be surprised if he succeeds in getting Dempsey very much rattled. ] ne SL1ll mas the KICK III ms punCn and can hit Dempsey on the jaw he will stand good chance of winning. But Dempsey will not be idle. He is cyclone. Can Georges turn this cyclone aside? Has he the defense necessary to weather the storm of the champions initial onslaughts?
 I would not be surprised to see this fight end in the first round It would not surprise me, either to see Carpenter make sucker out of Dempsey, as a boxer because of what they tell me of the challenger.
 Again, I would not be non-plussed should the fight go 12 rounds.
 This fight is whole lot like my fights with Jeffries or Fitzsimmons if the advance "dope" runs true to form on Carpenter
 l went along easily end confident ly with FitZ until he suddenly won in the 14th round. Against Jeff I was the leader on points for p rounds
 1 have noticed particularly. that a lot of people, especially some who have seen Carpenter fight, are pre- dieting that Georges will win, vet 80 per cent of those to whom I have talked believe Dempsey will be win ner, making it all the more uncer- tain because so few have seen Georges in action.

 Purchasers who bought seats from specultators at advances of 400 to 500 per cent. over marked prices groaned today when they learned that some of the 'ScatherS" had become panic stricken and cut prices to 20 and 30 per cent below Richards Even at these prices the speculators' tickets went slowly. This was believed to be due more to the scare over counter felt tickets
