club at the Polo Grounds. came
through with an offer for the fight.
The politicians were then up against
it. The commission had forced Demp-
sey to sign an agreement, had un-
officially given its approval for the
mixed bout and promoter was will
ing to stage the bout .-
Kearns could do nothing more, but
the commission then delivered an
other punch at the bout by naming
impossible conditions. The chairman
of the commission asked for an arena
that would seat 100, COO and there will
be nothing of that size in New York
until next summer, when the new
Yankee stadium will be available.
Another political stroke was made
when the commission demanded 49,
600 seats at 50. The ward workers
told the voters in the negro district
that the commission and the governor
knew they weren't making a lot Of
money and that they were all anxious
to see the fight and they would make
it their business to see that the poor
negro man got to see that fight IF all
fights.

Politics in Wills
Dempsey Mixup
M 1rnitel prens.)

New York, Oct. 5.-Difficulty in
getting Jack Dempsey and Harry
Wills int othe ring to settle the heavy
weight championship question has
been attributed to numerous causes
1t has been said that Dempsey IS
afraid of his negro challenger and
that he wanted the bout delayed at
least a wear, with the idea that ne
would have a better chance to retain
his title if Wills could be kept wait
ing until next summer.
However. it has been learned from
the. most reliable information that
Dempsev was eager to give the negro
man a chance this summer, but that
he was prevented by the activities OF
Republican politicians.
The administration at Albany did
not want the fight staged before cleo
ton time. because the reform element
would get up on its rear legs II the
bout came off and the liberal element
would be Just as provoked II any OF
fetal obstacles were placed in the
way, according to this story.
Jack Kearns wanted the fight
staged in New York and when wills
submitted an official challenge, kearns
came Immediately to New York to &C
cept. Some bitches arose and the
rumor was spread around that Gov
ernor Miller would not sanction
mixed bout. , -
This rumor had to be stopped pc
cause of its effect on the negro yot-
ers of New York. At the last cleo
ton. Mayor Hylan carried two big
districts of the negro settlement ane
it was the first time that those DIS
tricts had turned from the Repuo-
lican party. To counteract the Demo
cratic propaganda being used IN the
negro districts, Governor Miller then
said that he had no objection to
fight between a white man and a
negro man and that he hoped the bet
ter man would win.
That was a harmless statement un-

irving to detract from the class OF
the Giants it can be said that they
hall ell the edge on the breaks IN the
first game. The Yankees are at a
slight disadvantage now but we are
still confident that we will win the
series.
Bob Shawkey is ready to pitch and
he will be an effective hurler against
the Giants. If ne is in real form ne
will win today and tie up the series.
Joe Bush was charged with yes
terday's defeat and he certainly dld
not deserve to lose. No one could wish
for a more perfectly pitched game.
With any kind of luck he would nave
wop by a shutout.
One of the many breaks and the
most important one happened IN the
eighth inning when the bases were
filled and Emil Meusel bounced a
single to center off Bush's glove. |

removing Bush before | did. When
the bases were filled and MeuSel hit

hope of getting out of the hole.

fourth and famed in the sixth.
As it was perhaps | made the mis-
take of having Bush try for a strike
on the first pitch to Meusel. He was
expecting it and was all set.
There were other breaks that went
badly for the Yankees. Young's
miraculous catch for a double play in
the fifth inning was one. Bancroft
robbed Bush of two hits by sensation
al catches and other stunts were pull
ed on the field that were almost dis
heartening.
Everyone who saw that game will
back me up when l say that the Yanks

served to win, we played errorless
ball and fought all the breaks. We

H
Republican leaders that the party
wouldl be in danger up State, II the
fight were staged before election ana
it would create dissension in the ranks
in New York if the commission would
not allow the bout to be staged.
The only way open was to throw
some other obstacle in the way. The
ideal way was to have it appear that
Dempsey didn't want to fight. kearns
was sounded out and on the promise
that he could have the fight in Ne"
York next summer, he agreed to take
the role of holding the bag. kearns
figured that if the Republicans won
he was sure CT his position and If the
liberal Democrats should wln' ne
would be running no risk.
Kearns then let it be know that the
champion wanted 100000 to flght
and that he wasn't particular about
fighting until next summer. he was
severely critized and the champion
was accused of stalling for time ana
trying to cloud the real issue by talk
ing of set-up fights with Greb, VIII
lard. Brennan and Carpenter.
Finally the sharp tongues worked
under thethide of Kearns and ne SAID
he was wiling and ready to fight on
two weeks notice, but that no pro-
moter had made him an offer.

WANTS MORALITY BY LAW
Chicago Social Worker Argues That It
 Can Be Done.

Chicago, March 22-social work CTS from all parts of the state are here attending the annual meeting Of the State Probation Officers Asso- citation, learned today that 32,OOO il- legitimate children were born in the United tSates last year. Mrs. Florence vCrittenton Home of Chicago, who ad- dressed the meeting, declared the men should be treated the same as the women. If this was done, she said, there soon would be no unmarried mother problem.
 ''Make the father sign his child's birth certificate and give the baby his name,' she said. Make the laws so that his children can share his pro- perty. If We can make people sanitary by law. why can't We make them mor- al? Doing away with the double standard of morals and raising the age of consent to 21 years of age in stead of 16, would be a step in the right direction.
 "Thirty-two thousand children were born of unmarried mothers in the United States last year. The ages or their mothers ranged from 12 to IS. These girl mothers are not funda- mentally bad, only temporarily unfor. tunate. We must treat them, not as criminals, but as sick people"

WILL DIRECT BIG
 COTTON CONCERN
Charles C.. Henry Formally Accepts Presidency of State Cooper
 ative Association.

Little Rock, March 22-Charles c Henry, we'll known Newport banker and former president of the Arkan- sas Bankers Association, formally accepted the presidency of the Ar kansas Cotton Growers Cooperative Association at yesterdays meeting of the Board of Directors.
 l There had been some doubt as to MT. Henry's acceptance because of the fact that he realized that the presidency would involve a vast a. mount of work and responsibility and because he is very busy man. How ever at the close of yesterdays meet ing, it was announced that he had de- fnitely accepted and that he would be the active head of the states larg- est business corporation.
 To Investigate AffiliatiOn. The directors devoted large part of the afternoon session to discussing the question of affiliating with the American Cotton Growers Exchange. This is the national association which was organized as the parent body of the various state cooperative cotton marketing associations. No decision was reached but it was decided to send a committee to attend the meet ing of the trustees the American Cotton Growers Exchange which will be held at Oklahoma City April 12 and 13. As members of the committee President Henry appointed w. B. Smith of Little Rock, M w. Hazel Of Marked Tree, Roy Budd of Ogden, L. N. Rutherford of Sulphur Rock and Secretary-Treasurer John D. Eld- ridge, of Little Rock. Members of the committee were instructed to in- vestigate the Exchange plan at the Oklahoma City meeting and to report at the next meeting of the Board Of Directors.
 c. o. Moser of Dallas, Texas, secre- tary of the American Cotton Growers EXCHduSo dJC0uueu VAe AAOCCii6 oAu explained the plan of the exchange.
 However, it was said that some of the Arkansas directors objected to the basis of representation by which Texas and Oklahoma would have 3 members each on the Board of Trust ees while Arkansas and Mississippi would have but two apiece. Others thought that the exchange was too advanced a step until the various state associations are more firmly established
 Financing Is Arranged.
 It was announced that arrange ments have been made for financing the Arkansas association from now until the actual marketing of the 1922 cotton crop begins.

ENTITLED TO EARNEST CON
SIDERATIoN

During hecent years, more perhaps
than ever before, men have come to
realize that spiritual values are the
real values of hfe-that material
things do not satisfy, nor even graft.
ty except momentarily. In material
things the luxuries of today are the
necessaries of tomorrow, and often
their possession makes for unhappi-
ness rather than happiness.
On next Sunday several of the
churches in the city will begin a series
of services to continue for a period
of ten days or two weeks. These
simultaneous services may be said to
be the effort of large part of the
Christian people OF the community
to bring into the lives of our people
generally, including themselves, a
greater appreciation and greater
realization of the spiritual values, the
dual values, of life
II our people would unite in this
enterprise as they did in the State
port matter, if we would treat it as
earnestly and as seriously and as
fntelligently, it would be quite impos-
siba osCverestimate the benefits that
would result.
