Uncle Harry Talks About

Uncle Harry, DO you believe that

Piled Uncle Harry. "Wen, those
dispatches have been interesting.
and have caused a lot OF discussion
about the prehistoric animals
while / have my doubts as to
any of the mammoth creatures OF
past ages still being alive today,
hesitate to make a downright state
ment to the effect that they do not
exist. There are still parts of the
earth that are In practically the
same primitive state that they have
been in for thousands and thousands
of years. II is possible that hidden
away in some OF these remote sec

mems Of some OF the creatures that
have come TO be regarded as pre-
historic.

nobody living today, and none OF the
people who have lived during the
four or five thousand years Of which
we have any written history have
seen any OF these monsters.

The largest creatures that In

most OF the prehistoric creatures the
skeletons OF which have been found

scientists are generally agreed that
the largest OF the prehistoric crea-
lures were bigger than the largest
whales that have ever been killed or
captured In modern times. In 1912
the remains of a prehistoric animal

'gigantosaurus' were found in East

(AssOciated Negro Press)

ASSOCIATED Negro Press)
New York City, Mar. 9.-Harry
Wills proved conclusively tonight in
Madison Square Garden that he is
entitled to a chance at Jack Dempsey
for the heavyweight championship of
the world. Wills knocked out Kid
Norfolk with a right hand upper-cut
on the chin. The blow travelled no
more than six inches.
So suddenly did the end come that
the spectators were dumbfounded
when they saw Norfolk spread out on
the canvas with referee Kid McPart-
land and Artie McGovern, one of the
judges, counting over the rugged
little Colored boxer. When Wills
poked his right hand to Norfolk's
chin the Kid seemed to stand rigid
for at least a second before he
crumpled to the floor.
Jack Dempsey was in a box at the
Hippodrome with Gov. Edwards of
New Jersey when word was brought
that Harry Wills had knocked out
Kid Norfolk in the second round.
Twill you fight Wills?" he was
asked.
"I'll fight anybody, white, black,
yellow or green, il I get the price,"
the heavyweight champ replied.
