When Dempsey Met Bonds.


TOE BONDS, a tough heavy
weight in his day, was one of
- Jack Dempsey's early oppo-
nents. They fought ten-round
draw at a little town in Nevada
along in 1916.
Bonds was Just back from his
trip to Australia with Kearns and
was still under Kearns' manage
ment, but he undertook the trip
to Nevada alone. Dempsey was
an unknown at the time. while
Bonds had something of a repu-
tation.
"He got on the same train with
me somewhere along the line"
says Dempsey. 81 knew who he
was all right. because he had his
suit case plastered with his name,
but he didn't know me. I had
some sandwiches, and when /
pulled them out he looked at them
so longingly that / shared them
with him.
81 never tipped him off that I
was the man he was going to
fight, but Joe told me all about
himself. He said he was on his
way to this little town to fight,
and when I asked him who he
was fighting he said, 4 don't
know. Some egg
"Whe1 we landed in the town
I ducked away from Joe because
I didn't want the people to see
us coming in together. They
might have become suspicious that
we had had our heads together.
I didn't see him until the next
day, when we were in a saloon
run by a man who was promoting
the fight.
"The fellow introduced US. and
you should have seen the express
sion on Joe's face when he took
a good look at me-"
"By the way" said Dempsey,
apropos Of nothing much, 81 saw

Lady managers, as a rule. have a
tough time in sandlot baseball.
Maybe II is because the motherly or
big -sisterly attitude toward the boys
sometimes fails to get over just right.
When. a kid sandlotter reaches a
certain age It would seem he'd be
likely to adopt a protective attitude
toward any member of the other sex
rather than feel proud over being led
In battle by a skirted chief. With
youngsters under a certain age hard
to fix. 1t is undoubtedly hunky dory
for the shrill boss.
The personality Of each Lady
manager probably has much to do
with Il.

well. 1t Is hoped they will continue
to succeed. Besides Mrs. Nicholas.
there are Miss Lillian Wall. of the
Friendship Athletic Club, and Mrs.
Lennie Rock, of the champion Lin
worth Midgets.
OF the three, Mrs. Nicholas is the
most experienced. This will be her
third season with the Independents,
while Miss Wall and Mrs. Rock
started only last year. In her first
two seasons, Mrs. Nicholas did well,
indeed. 1t was almost altogether
through her efforts that a crack
team was developed.
The Independents of last year were
as splendid an outfit as one could

EXPECTED TOAD
PENN FOOTBALL
Coach Heisman Predicts Much
Help When General Takes
Helm at U. of p.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Feb. as
Greater interest in football and bet
ter teams for University of Pennsyl-
vania were predicted last night by
]. w. Heisman, head coach, at a talk
before members of the Sigma Kappa
Fraternity at Boothby's. Coach Heis-
man frankly admitted the odium Of
the last several years and was frank
in placing the blame.
There has been no cohesion among
the staff" he said. when came to
the university as head coach found
many men of many minds. Then,
too, football has not been a popular
sport at Pennsylvania There are
twenty-five sports at the college
more sports than any other institu-
ton. OF the entire student body
about 1000 are eligible for participa-
ton in these sports.
After. two years of study I be-
lieve I have found the solution to
some of our troubles. When Leonard
Wood becomes the head Of the insti-
tuition next September he will give
football a big boost. Though few
persons know 1t, he Is the man that
put football on the map at Georgia
Institute of Technology. He is the
man 1 need, for one man cannot do
the Job alone. and certainly have
been alone"
Another reason for failure on the
gridiron. Mr.. Heisman said, was the
iightness Of the team and the great
number Of men that were lost to the
squad through the severity Of the
faculty. This winter the faculty has
taken greater interest in the sport,
according to Heisman, who has spent
part of his time talking to faculty
members and urging their considera-
ton Of the game and of the men who
play It.

NONUNlON COAL
Mines PROBLEM
SLOWLY CLEARING
Connellsville Trouble
May End in Stampede
Back to Mines.

PITTSBURGH. May 20. The
strike situation I'm the conneilsviile
region has undergone no great
change in the past week. For at
least four weeks there have been
recurrent reports of strikers drift,
ing back to work, but n at this
time the increase In production from
the low point. is very. small. The
prospect now Is that the strike will
end in the form of a stampede. op-
orators are indisposed to make any
prediction as to the time, but IL
seems to be practically universal
opinion that the Conellsvflie strikes
will end long before the regular
union strike really comes to q head.
The Connelsville strikers were led
to believe that by paying N ini-
tistion fee of 81 or 81 they became
a part Of the United Mine Workers
but they receive no strike benefits
and could not expect to be brought
into the negotiations should there

Coal Prices Down, Coke Up.
Prices OF Connellsville coal and
coke have shown remarkable sensi-
tiveness to the volume OF demand. as
there has been a sharp decline in coal
and a sharp advance in coke. The
coal decline, amounting to about 81
ton. takes of just the rise that
occurred in the neighborhood OF ten
days ago. Dealers trace the decline
this week to Securetary Hoover's
interest in coal prices. not that the
Connellsvjlle operators voluntarily
marked down their asking prices.
but that a number of Eastern buy
ers. who had been actively in the
market concluded that lower prices
might come soon, and withdrew a.
buyers. thus producing the condi-
tion they were attempting to ant!ci-
pate. What would happen in case
they should resume buying freely
can only be conjectured. Connells-
willie steam coal is now quotable at
1925 to $3.50.

SPECTATORS LOSE HEAVILY
ONMAY WHEAT GYRATIONS
Inability to Guess Properly Costs Both Longs
And Shorts Much Money.

on May contracts of all grains been
as large as this month, the aRsre-
gate up to today being in excess
of 2o.o00,Oo0 bushels. Including g.
100000 bushels each of corn and
oats and more than 100000 bush
els Of rye. The corn and oats have
gone largely to elevator interests
and carriers and the rye to ex-
porters. 1t shows what is behind
future contract and that IL is
more than a mere speculative op-
Grafton.
Good Demand for Cash Wheat.
More than 100000 bushels of
wheat taken in on May delivery
have been moved out so far, l,00o,-
600 bushels being loaded the past
week. mainly for Buffalo, and in
cluding one cargo for a mill at
that point. Leading interests who
have taken in the cash wheat this
month say that there will be a de-
mand for 1t at good prices. as the
millers have cleaned out their
stocks and will have to replenish
them. 1t is well, however, to con-
slider the situation in a broad light.
There have been sales OF 1I5,0o0
bushels of No. 2 hard winter at
Montreal the past week at 10 cents
over Chicago July. or equal to 5
cents under May at Chicago. Should
there be defaults this trade as well
as the price of June wheat and
cash wheat at Atlantic and Gulf
ports would be considered as indi-
eating commercial value Of
wheat.
Chicago interests are said to have
had around 10000. 900 bushels Of
May wheat. while New Workers and
others have had $4,000. 900 to 90
100000 bushels. according to esti-
mates. A. great deal OF the latter
has been sold out. and IT is diff
cult for the best posted people in
the trade to estimate the holding
at present. Operations in May
wheat in the last three months
have been shrouded with more mys-
terry than the trade has ever be-
fore known.
1t has cost the short sellers as
well as the longs a great deal OF
money. The latter had an oppor-
tunity to sell their May at sl.40 to
nearly $3.50 at one time and to buy
the July at Is cents to 20 cents
discount. 1t would have given
them a nice profit without taking
