NEW YORK, Aug. 81 - Jack
Dempsey doesn't seem to be trou-
bled over the prospects of a fight
with Harry Wills-and he shouldn't

wills may be. and perhaps he n,
the best contender for the title in
the heavyweight class but he does
not stand such a big chance to beat
the champion as hIs friends claim.
Dempsey can punch faster and hit
harder than Wills. He is much faster
on his feet, a better boxer and he
can take II down stairs" or on the
chin. Nothing else is to be desired.
Georges Carpenter has the fast
est moving. most accurate right hand
in the ring and he gets more behind
his punch than the less skilled Wills
does. When the Frenchman couldn't
get Dempsey with his right, Wills
does not stand TO do II.

close quarters. Many maintain he
fights foul by holding and hitting. IL
might not be fair TO call him a foul

DEFIANCE ANXIOUS
TO FINISH SCHEDULE

Sports Editor. The Evening Journal,
Dear SIR
Referring to your paragraph in
yesterdays issue of The Evening
journal stating that Defiance should
hustle to play off their postponed
City League games. we think the
other teams should do the hustllng.
Last week, realizing that we had
many postponed games to play off,
we arranged to play three games,
as follows: ST. Hedwig on Monday;
Eastlake on Wednesday. and st.
Hedwig again on Friday. We were
Informed last Monday afternoon by
ST. Hedwig that they could not get
the grounds, and Eastlake cancel
ed on Tuesday. We did manage 10
play st. Hedwig on Friday.
Now. Mr.. Sports Editor who was
doing the hustling? It was no fault
OF ours we did not play.
We left the meeting at the Jour
nal office last Monday night, under
the impression that the league was
to set dates. looking for the sched-
ule in the following evenings is-
sue. Instead we found that several
managers had made arrangements
themselves, one game being sched-
uled on the grounds on which we
have played all our home games
this season.
Tuesday night we made efforts to |
schedule Krebs for Wednesday, but
were unsuccessful. while st. He'd ,
wig informs us they will be unable
to play us this week. We are max
ing efforts TO play Eastlake on Sat
urday and are hoping the Ninth |
Warders will consent.
We trust this letter will correct |
the impression that Defiance is not |
making efforts to MI out their sohed-
ule. We stand willing to play |
any OF our postponed games at any |
time and would like to hear from |
the other teams.
Thanking you for your valuable
space.
Yours In Sport.

Dempsey Not Worrying Ouer
Possible Fight With Wills

fighter but II is certain that he is a
rough worker.
Dempsey excels at the very kind
OF a fight that Wills would carry TO
him II the colored challenger follow
ed his usual style against him. The
champion is deadly at body punches
at close quarters.
The only chance that Wills would
have for a knockout would be a
straight right hand punch, and the
chances are that Dempsey would
beat him TO every punch.
Wills also IL not a heady fighter.
He hasn't the battling instinct Of
Dempsey. He hesitates at big mo-
ments not knowing exactly what 20
do. No one can afford that against
Dempsey.
SO far no real line has been Sc
cured on Wills because his fights
have been so one-sided, Most of his
opponents are scared to death when
they enter the ring. Dempsey is not
afraid OF Wills All this talk going
on now that Kearns is lodging the
colored challenger Is but steam" to
cook up the match and make 1t

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful II 10 In
Preserving Health and Beauty.


Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
IL the safest and most efficient disin-
fectant and purifier in nature. but few
realize its value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of ii the better; II is not a
drug at ALL but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, and after eating onions and
other Odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, It whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
Il absorbs the Injurious gases. which
collect In the stomach and bowels; Il
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they

Many physicians advise Stuart's Char

Cured in the opinion of the Repub-
lican leader. He asserted the adop-
ton of his amendment would quiet
apprehension among the people
who fear that additional burdens OF
taxation Will be imposed to pay the
bonus.
This brought Senator Borah ida
ho,) into action for a brief period.
Reserving his comments on the Nc
| Cumber bill as a whole the Idaho
| Senator called attention to specific
criticisms made by the President on
| the McCumber proposition. Incl
Edentally he read a statement of thu
amounts of money expended by the
Government for the care of helpless
veterans since the armistice. forty
six months ago, and also the
amounts spent in accomplishing the
transition of soldiers to civil life.
Senator Lenroot criticized Sena-
tor Borah for helping to load the
McCumber bonus bill down with the
McNary reclamation scheme which
was accomplished on Tuesday.
After the Bursum substitute
amendment had been voted down
Senator Smoot brought up his sales
tax. In doing so he precipitated a
long argument, which became gem
eral, over the constitutional aspects
of 1t. For twenty minutes Senators
smoot, Edge. McCumber. Under
wood and Reed (Mo.) exchanged
conflicting opinions over the leg,sla-
tive treatment OF the sales tax plan.
At the end of this argument the
Smoot amendment was rejected
without a record vote.
Shoots Insurance Proposal
The Utah Senator then offered his
paid-up insurance policy plan, which
would entitle each veteran to $4,000
in benefits to mature at the end Of
twenty years. After the Smoot pro
posal had been read the author OF Il
explained that the Government
would shoulder the premiums of
the insurance policies. Every vet
eran would be entitled to such
policy whether able bodied or ply
sically incapable OF caring for him
self and regardless of previous in
surance benefits by the Govern
ment.
The Utah Senator figured that
his scheme would cost the Govern
ment $1.723,25S.14S by 1913. The
estimate submitted by him showed |
the cost the first year would be |
s39. 600, 900 and would run up as high |
as $47,OOO.OOO at maturity. Mr.. |
Smoot expressed the opinion that |
the Government had been most gem |
erous in caring for sick and dis
abled soldiers. He cited figures to /
show that up to April l, S1,ss6,260.- |
634 had been expended for this pur-
pose. In conclusion Mr.. Smoot |
said:
THE reason I offer this plan is
that I want the insurance to go 10
the soldier at time when he will
most need it and in an amount suf-
fcient to assist him in order to place
himself so that he can at least take
care of himself when he is twenty
years older than at the present time.
Or to his benefciaries. During the
next twenty years the veterans will
be in the bloom OF life. If he can
make a living at any time it will be
rom now until he is twenty years

-umber) bill because the veterans

many brought on the crisis, it was
believed.
A high official of the French for
eign Office made the following state
ment TO the United Press concern
ing the separations crisis;
Germany is able to pay Reichs-
bank gold reserve or permit the
Allies the use and rights OF all state
properties. in the empire and vari-
Gus German states which is provided
for in the treaty of Versailles.
According to the latest indlca-
$4,000, 600. 600. 900 gold marks and
the empire properties 25,700. 900. 600
gold marks.
Instead of the inadequate offers
OF coal and timber deliveries Ger
many also could pledge the capital
OF 5000 Incorporated companies
which, 1t was estimated in 1920.
have the valuation of $4,000. OOO.-
100000 gold marks.
Therefore the French govern
ment is convinced OF the absolute
necessity OF fatty refusing mora
forum on any but our conditions"
The acceptance of these condi-
tons would undoubtedly bring hard
ship to some interests but would not
spell ruin for Germany" the official
continued.
France has already consented to
too many reductions in reparations
and the question has now reached a
vital stage"
Poincare. the official stated, is
firm in the Idea Of taking safe
guards in case the majority OF the
Allies vote for a moratorium.
