Heavyweight Battle Seems Doomed, as American Le- zion WithdraWS From Mat ter.

Indianapolis Ind, August 19.-The Michigan City post of the Ameri- can Legion. under whose auspices the Jack Dempsey Bill Brennan bout was to have been held Labor Day, in- formed Governor McCray today that ton. Announcement of the with drawal was received from Earl n. Brown, chairman of the posts boxing commission.
 The message from Mir. Brown was received shortly after Governor Me Cray had sent Sheriff Ansttss of La Porte county letter in which the executive called upon the sheriff to "see to 1t that the proposed fight does not take place."
 Browns Statement
 Governor McCray said he inter- preted the message of Earl Brown of Michigan City, chairman of the boxing commission of the American Legion, as meaning that the fight has been called off by the Michigan City promoters
 The American Legion" said Mir Brown, has every respect for the chief executive of the state of ln- diana. We will not do anything to embarrass him.
 'Inasmuch as tho governor has taken the stand that the proposed Dempsey Brennan bout is to be prize fight we withdraw our auspices from the proposed exhibition.
 The whole question has been q matter of personal opinion as ta whether or not the proposed match was a prize fight. We have dlt- fered with the governor but as he IS our chief executive and in position to know the laws of Indiana, We Viii gladly concede the point and Will rot put on the Dempsey Brennan fight.
 The American Legion at Michigan City has been backing the bout. The statement of Mir. Brown that the legion will withdraw its auspices from the proposed exhibition, it was pointed out. does not contain der mite announcement from the pro motors that the fight has been called off. It Is believed, however, that shs promoters will attempt to go ahea with the bout with the support of the legion withdrawn and in defiance of the governors order

Eskimos Travelled Two Days
To See An Electric Lighl

An electric light plant carried on
Donald MacMillan'S recent Arctic ex-
petition enabled the members to en-
JOY the unprecedented freedom from
the horrors Of the Arctic winter
darkness. 1t also furnished current
for a moving picture machine, and
many hours of enforced inactivity
were pleasantly passed by the help
OF moving pictures and a talking ma
! chine.
The wonders of an unknown world
were unfolded before the eyes of the
Eskimos. They saw the throngs on
Fifth Avenue, battleships, liners,
automobile races, aeroplanes in fight,
and such other sights as they had
never dreamed of.
What their feelings were is hard to
imagine. Some were so absorbed
that they sat like stone images.
while others gave vent to their feel
ings by a deep "Ke-pee." (wonder-
ful)
The Eskimos were tremendously
effected by these contrivances. Mac
MILAN tells of one who lived fifty
miles from the Bowdoin who heard
of the wonderful electric lights rival
, ling the summer sun for brilliancy
and the northern lights for useful
ness. Excited by the Arctic gossip,
he loaded his sledge with provisions.
, placed his two children on the load
and with his wife helping him in the
traces trudged his way for two days
over the painless distance to see for
| himself if such q wonder might real
Is be. He made his goal the second
! night out and stood at a short dis
lance from the lighted vessel for an
hour or two gazing at the estonish-
/ ing sight. Then, his mind at rest, he
turned around for the journey back
| to his home.
Donald MacMillan's story to be
heard tomorrow evening at City Hall
is one of sthe most fascinating and
thrilling ever told. 1t will be illus
trated by 5000 feet of remarkable
moving pictures and 125 still pictures
taken on his recent Arctic trip.
