DeMolay Camp

One of the most enjoyable
outings this summer was the De
Molay camping party which
pulled out from Okolona on
Monday of last week for Kolola

two children, Thomas Melon

Brewer, machinist and truck
driver, and two cooks, Snow

The place was an ideal one in
every respect, there being seven
camp houses, two fine springs, a
dancing pavilion. a good place
TO swim and plenty of shade; in
fact, everything to make it an
ideal place to camp.
The party occupied two Broom
cottages with a Brewster
Patent" open air kitchen be-
tween. Mr.. Brewster is a fine
manager when it comes to eats
and his open air kitchen was re-
spOnsible for the feasting of the
party.
There was good Victrola music,
and when the party was not
enjoying themselves swimming,
eating and promenading, they
were dancing. Sleeping was
not rushed. There was no time
for such folly. Mosquitoes did
not interfere; there were none

helped to keep the negro out of the ring. He was a fugitive from justice and he found no opportunity to take part in the big matches, but in an affair in Mexico he was beaten by third rater. Willard is wise to remain where he is.
 It was apparent at Toledo that the main reason of Willard,s speedy downfall was that his ad- vanced age had prevented him from training properly. That was July of 1915. How, much worse would he be in July of 1929? Willard is if that is true, another $100,000 in cash would have come in handy. It is more than likely that the real reason Willard called things off was ing that he was no longer able to train.
 There are many who think that Willard never could fight. anyway, for Dempsey even if he had been in good condition at Toledo. It is true that Willard put up some miserable exhibitions just before he met Johnson and when he was supposed tc Re at his best. He failed to beat little Tom McMahon, who won the decision over him. He could do nothing with clumsy Carl Morris He made dismal showing with. Charley Miller. a third rater. He lost twenty round decision to Gunboat Smith. and his perform ance with Bull Young at Los An geles- that resulted in the death of Youth was so poor that nothing he did afterward could make the fans of that section believe that he could fight.
 But although Willard failed on many occasions to beat second and third raters he was long way from being a third rater himself Dempsey also has performed badly at times. He never could beat fat Willie Meehan, who was joke fighter.
