DEMPSEY is CUTTING A WIDE
PATH ON HIS JAUNT THROUGH
EUROPE; TALK OF THE LAND

Just becoming famous. Al 80 he had
Just knocked out the original Jack
Dempsey and become worlds mid
dleweight champion and was going
after the heavyweights. He was 35
when he Knocked out Jim Corbett
and became heavyweight champion.
But Bob Fitzslmmons began his
glove career when he was twenty
seven. At thirty Bob had Just be-
come opulent enough to afford n
tall silk hat and a frock coat. At
thirty-this year-Carpentier has
been through thirteen years OF pro-
fessional boxing, half dozen
European mpionships in differ
ent weight classes. four years OF
war. and has accumulated for
tune such as Bob Fitzsimmons new
er saw. Perhaps Georges thinks he
has 'seen enough"
Jock Hutchison says he wears a
stiff collar while playing golf be-
cause It jabs him in the neck and
makes him hold his head In the best
position to play his shots.
And they used 10 call people
martyrs Just because they were
chucked TO the lions
Now the Chinese are claiming that
golf didn't originate in Scotland.
Golf, they say, was played IN China
over 1000 years ago. and the Great
wall Of China was originally built
as bunker.
Scottish golfers retort that golf
was an ancient game in Scotland
when the Romans conquered Eng
land, and that the Roman wall
across the island from sea TO sea
was put up to prevent the long
drives of the Picts and Scots from
breaking crockery in the Roman
Camps.

their poll taxes than they did year
ago, they are not doing so as largely
as are the women in the towns, and
the Women's Voter of Clarksdale and
the Mississippi League of Women
Voters are urging them to pay their
poll tax before midnight of February
l, 1923, and pointing out that that if
they fail to do this. they can neither
participate in the primaries, hold Of
flee or sit on juries. 1t may be inter
esting to state that in Jackson there
are 1876 white registered women
voters and that in the other towns of

of registered voters is 408. In the
