NOW LAWYERS
ARE OUT AFTER
THE POLICE

TWO important baseball games
which should draw enormous crowds
are planned for Saturday. Ia one Of
them the diamond fire department Will
take on the Betz Motor Co. In the
other the Hammond police Will cross
hats with the Lawyers. The cha
lenges we're being drawn up today.
Last Sunday the Lawyers lost to the
Dentists in the golf match and at once
began looking around for someone
they could beat. Nothing was appar-
ent in the golf line so it was decIeeo
to get together a baseball team and
tackle the police who had just lost
the season opener to the Betz Motors.
The score was IS to aud the police
looked easy.
The police minimize their downfall
and claim that they have already stop

talk that Charley See will be forced

ers have no better luck than last sun
day. Fred Rimbach and Chief Aust

time things look bad for the cops.
The Lawyers are still undecided az
to the lineup. Selection Of team is
difficult as there are more lawyers
than cops in town. AS half OF the
police work nights, Il was easily to
eliminate some of the aspirants. No
such trick can be pulled on the legal
ties and as all of them think they are
stars. the manager of the team is be-
ing run TO death. So far Judge Nc
Mahon Is the only one who has def
nitely announced that he Will not
play.

NEW YORK. June SACK Demp-
sey is going to carry more poundage
into the ring against Georges Carpen-
tier July than he has ever carried
into a fight before.
Since he won the title from Jess
willard at Toledo the lad from Salt
Lake has reached his full growth.
lie has broadened out.
When he crawls through the ropes
with Carpenter he will weigh between
100 and 1a5 pounds. / am told and
this will be nearly ten pounds more
than he took into the ring at Toledo
when his weight was announced as
1877.
With this much poundage on his
frame the champion will have an ad-
vantage of between 5 and 80 po01ds
over Georges Carpenter. whose nat
ural weight hangs close around ITO.
Carpenter was weighed--ln private
several days ago by Manager Des-
camps and afterwards at his Manhas-
set training camp. it was announced
that he tipped the beam at I72. When
he first landed he weighed 175 pounds.
SO he has not lost much weight
through his exertions IN training to
date and when he enters the ring with
Dempsey he probably will weigh
about the same.

CHAPTER Viii,

Webster's trunk went aboard tho
steamer early the following morning,
and at noon he entered taxi with his
hand baggage and was driven to the
levee where La EstreTlita lay tugging
gently at her mooring lines. Owing to
the congestion Of freight and traffic the
chauffeur stopped his cab q little dis
tance from the gangplank, where
Webster discharged him with a liberal
tip.
The latter, however, swung his
passengers bag and suitcase to the
ground, picked them up and started
for the gangplank.

Webster called after him. "One Of the
deck boys will care for It,"
The chauffeur turned. "Yor've been

low violently around. The man he had
rescued promptly struck Pop-eye
terrible blow in the face with his left

then Webster tapped the assassin a

And he did. He was in full flight
before Webster could glance around.
and In an instant he was lost to sight
among the trees.

him, and was about to follow when he
observed that the young man han &
abandoned his pretty little silver

and forthwith possessed himself Of It

his going but went, departing at top

The young man he had saved from
