ELKTON. Nd. January 25. -
Plans to reorganize the Second Ma
tional Bank OF Elkton. which closed
its doors last Friday afternoon. have
not yet been fully developed In
fact. no definite action can be taken
until after the Federal bank exam
liners have completed their examina-
tion Of TIE banks affairs
Just how long this will take can
not be definitely stated at this time,
the examiners refusing 70 give out
any statements. One OF the plans
outlined for the reorganization and
reopening OF the bank is to wipe
out the present capital and seek
new stockholders and start with new
directors and officers.
The stumbling block in the way
seems to be the S121.0O0 bonds Of
the Gilpins Falls Electric Company.
held by the bank. Plans are under
way to place with the new organ
ization additional security for tie
bonds. besides the plant and fran
chises Of the company. II this Is
done. It looks like the plan TO reor-
ganize may be successful.
Every day dozens OF inquiries are
made about when the bank will re-
open and just what will be the ulti-
mate outcome for the depositors.
President william T. Warburton
l-stlll insists that every depositor will
get every cent due him or her.
While Mr.. Warburton has ac-
knowledged that the bank holds some
slow invNtments. it is believed tEat
only a small portion OF them will
prove worthless. II any at all. The
capital stock. the surplus and undi-
vided profits and the liability OF the
stockholders and directors will sew
eral times make up any losses
through slow investments.
The closing Of the bank has re-
suited in the public learning that

NEW YORK. July 22.-(UniteC
Press).-Tex Richard says he car

sey for less than 100000.
That means that the big colorec
s;evedore IL willing 10 go against the
worlds greatest fighter for less thar
Lew Tender wanted TO fight Benny
Leonard.
Which might be taken to indicate
that Wills IS sincere in the belief
that he can get Dempsey's title and
the million that goes as a parcel
with the championship.
" wills is mighty. easy TO do bust
ness with" Rickad said. Unlike
most Of tho challengers for champ
ionships, he does not demand for
tune for n chance 10 win a fortune"
Richard. however claims that
Wills isn't worth one hundred thou
sand dol.a-s. as he is not a great
drawing ca-d. He figures that the
colored boxer should be willing to
fight for a small sum like Dempsey
did against Jess Willard.
II paid Carpenter 100000 to fight
Dempsey because he was entitled
TO it," Richard says. 1.-THE French
man was the big attraction. More
fans turned out to see him than
would ever pay big money to see
Dempsey.
There never will be another fight
like the Dempsey Carpenter card.
There never will another Carpenter
and there never will be another
fighter that will draw the kind Of a
crowd that went over to Jersey City
for that fight. Dempsey and Wills
should draw crowd just as big. but
il will not be the kind OF a gathering
that saw the Battle OF a Century.
Because he likes to dignity the
ringslde with official robes of the
union and state, the high hats and
stylish gowns OF society and the
Ritz" members OF the sporting
fraternity. Richard dangled s15O.O0O
under the nose OF Carpenter to get
him TO fight Harry Greb.
When Carpenter turned down
an offer like that, I'm convinced that
, he doesn't want any part Of Greb's
game. 1 wish I could find good
card that he would take" Richard
says.
The peculiar Characteristic OF the
American sport bug, which finds its
greatest satisfaction In crashing
idols. IS again manifest in the dis
cusslon OF the Dempsey-wills tight.
The fans want Dempsey beaten,
perhaps because the average Ameri-
can does not like TO recognize anyone
as the best. II Wills should happen
TO win. they will clamor for white
hope to save the race.
It is such a spirit. however, that
makes fighting prosperous.
Dempsey has many enemies and in
a way they are as valuable to him
as his most loyal friends.

Either supplies the big thrill.
Pruett certainly has been poison
TO Ruth.
Ruth has faced Pruett nine times
during the present season. Nary a
hit has the home-run king made off
the youngster. His hitting against
Pruett has been confined 10 a couple
OF weak fouls.
In nine trips TO the plate against
Pruett the Babe has reached first
base only once then by grace OF a
base on balls.
What has Ruth been doing the
rest OF the time? Striking out.
OF the nine times that Ruth has
faced Pruett the Babe has struck
out eight times. In most cases there
have been few called strikes. Babe
has taken n healthy cut and missed.
In a recent game at New York
Pruett worked only five innings but
in that time Ruth was up three
times and whitfield on each occasion.
Pruett is the type Of pitcher that
worries Ruth. First, he IS a left
handler who doesn't use much speed.
This, Is always a troublesome com
bination for the big fellow.
Secondly. Pruett has a most re-
markable fadeaway ball, rivallng
that Of Matty's when big Six" was
at his best Ruth has batted against

presence adds to the house and fight

Willie jackson. New York light
weight, made a fortune inthe ring
because he was so generally disliked
that he drew a packed house every

packed because about 80 per cent

Johnny Wilson. the middleweight
champion. and Johnny Kilbane, the
featherweight champion, are in the

unpopularity.
on the other hand, some boxers
sell the house among friends. Ben

Those factors all enter into match
