JACK DEMPSEY BACK
IN UNITED STATES

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Jack Demp-
sey and his manager, Jack Kearns, will
return to the United States tomorrow
on the Aquitania after brief trip to
Paris, London and Berlin.
While abroad the champion signed
an agreement for a return match with
Georges Carpenter some time within
the next year. Boxing experts profess
little faith in the pulling power of the
Carpenter match.
Harry Willis, colored heavyweight,
looms as the most formidable of
Dempsey's rivals and reports of an
offer for a contest between them in
Montreal in July are coupled with
statements that Tex Richard and
Frank Flournoy, Madison Square Gar
den promoters, will make them prop
osition.
Offers for a bout with Luis Firpoo,
pride of Argentine, in Buenos Aires,
and a possible return match with Bill
Brennan, who stayed II rounds with
Dempsey some time ago, are also in
prospect

IN DANGER
OF BEING BROKEN

With the coming of the annual track
and field meet of the Indiana High
School Athletic association, being held
on Reid Field Saturday under the au-
spices of Earham college, chances are
that some records will fall. The
marks made in several events in the
district meet last Saturday were bet
ter than the present records in several
events.
From the start of the first trial
event at 10 o'clock Saturday mo rning,
the records which now stand, VIII be
in danger of being broken by some of
the foremost athletes of the Indiana
high schools, who will compete for
honors
In the 1O0-yard dash, Gray, of Tech
nical high school of Indianapolis has
the edge, having won the century in
the district meeting the unusual time
of 9 AS seconds. Next best time was
made by Sears, of Bedford and
Sweeney of Rensselaer, in 10 1-5 Sec
onds
Gray, of Technical and Sweeney, of
Rensselaer,; are on an even basis in
the 220-yard dash, having run it in
% Is seconds.
Blakesely, of Technical and Swee-
ney, Rensselaer,, ran the 440 in 81 AS
and SO Is. respectively.
In the $50 yard run, Lewis, of Tech
nical, hung up the best time at 2:04.1,
his nearest contestant is Barnum, of
Emerson, Gary, with the time of
2:06.1.
Marks, of Wabash, is stepping the
220 yard low hurdles in 26 3-5 seconds,
just is of a second faster than the
record of Carl Allison, the Richmond
athlete who has held the record at
! 26 As since 1909 If Marks ability
keeps up, he will likely lower Allison S
| record.
However, no athlete ran the high
hurdles in less than II seconds in the
district meet. Allison's record for the
high sticks still stands at 16 1-5 sec
onds since 1909
| Richmond is the only school in In.
diana to have an athlete holding two
state high school records. He has
safely held them since 1909.
The events which will be in danger
of being broken Saturday are the 10C
yard dash, 220 yard dash, 220 yard low
hurdles, 440 yard dash, $50 yard run

GRAYS OF CAMBRIDGE
EXPECTED, TO FURNISH
STRONG OPPOSITION

Manager Johnny Logan, of the Rich
mond Eagles, is looking for the hard
est battle of the season when his Bird
men stack up against the Cambridge
City Grays at Exhibition park Sunday
afternoon. The Grays and the Eagles
are about on par in baseball strength
and the team that gets the breaks is
expected to win the battle
Logan is taking no chances on drop
ping this game and will hold a skull
practice at the Eagles club rooms Fri
day evening at 1880 o'clock and a prac-
tice session at the ball yard Saturday
afternoon from the hours of 2 until 5
O'Clock. Every member of the squad
is expected to attend these two meet
ings.
Carman, the new addition to the
pitching staff, will get his real chance
Sunday as Logan will use him on the
mound Carman has the ear marks of
a good hurler having plenty of stuff
on the ball, but is inclined to be rath-
er wild at times.
Last Sunday he turned in fine ex-
hibition against the indianapolis Vets
team allowing them only two scratch
hits. He feels confident that he can
repeat this Sunday. Hawekotte will
be on the bench ready to go into the
fray at any time, should the young
hurler crack
Manager Logans wants to have an
other hurler in the fold besides Mimi
er so he can keep Pete at short and
not break up his infield every other
| Sunday. Should Carman make good
in this game there is no doubt but that
/ he will be kept as an alternating hurl-
er with Russ.
Cambridge comes here with a good
reputation and will no doubt worry the
Eagles. Severl of the players on the
! Cambridge team are local boys and are
well known here in the independent
circles. Four of the Gray players from
Richmond are Mike Knott, Don Long,
Carl and Harold Runnels.
Play will be called at 2:45 o'clock.

COLLECTION AT BENEFITS

The exhibit of rare coins, paper
money and ancient documents owned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Walter j. Brennan,
in the ]. T. Bennett store window the
past week, has aroused considerable
local interest Hardly a person pass
es but what the collection is given a
careful perusal
At great length and effort Mr.. and
Mrs. Brennan have collected gold, sill
yer and copper coins, paper money
from as far back as George Third,
colonial documents, confederate bills
and bonds, counterfeit bills, etc. The
whole comprises an interesting as
sortment. One bill for two dollars
backed by the Marine Insurance Co.
of Grant county, issue of 1874, indi-
Gates that at one time this region had
it's own paper money. In those days
private banks issued paper money in
volume but "blow-up" came even
tually and thousands of banking So
cieties failed.

COUNTY AUDIENCES HEAR
CANDIDATES. WIVES TALK

Mesdames La Toilette and Blaine,
wives of the U. S. senator and COVER
nor of this state, spoke to audiences
in the county Friday.
The spectacle of candidates wives
touring the state to get votes for
their husbands would have aroused
considerable excitement if not to say
adverse criticism few years ago.
Today it is taken as a matter OF
course.
Mrs. Blaine's talk, short as it was,
seemed to be the best. She touched
upon the human welfare side OF her
husbands work and defended the
state hospital policy-provided from
funds already raised for the welfare
of ex-service men. The hospital will
lend itself to the treatment Of cases
beyond reach by the average surgeon.
1t would make lives useful and self
supporting that now are public
charges, Mrs. Blaine pleaded
Mrs. La Follette's talk was not
without interest but altogether too
long. She pleaded for the support Of
a progressive state ticket and at much
greater length talked of her renowned
husband. Senator La Follette's poll
cies, views upon war and past work
were touched upon by his wife with
evident sincerity.

SAD EVENT TRANSPORTS
AT GRANT COUNTY JAIL

A sad event evented at the Grant
county Jail Friday evening when
Sheriff Dick Holmes laid away with a
sigh a little brown box containing
something that was dear to many
hearts. The little box with it's pathe-
tic charge came in Friday and all day
long lay upon the cold stone OF the
Jail window. Lancaster people who
heard Of its presence came and looked
regretfully in the box and some drop
ped a silent tear. Others went away
shaken with a quiet sobbing. 1t was
a deep and solemn occasion.
In that little brown box, packed and
divided by cute strawboard cartoons,
were "a bottles, pints, of genuine
whiskey. That is the goods were as
near genuine as to color and flavor as
a skilled "moonshine doctor" could
make them Mr.. Holmes picked the
stuff up on the premises of ]. A. Farm
ham, former Fehnimore druggist, Fri
day. The booze was brought in from
Chicago by a son-in-law and daughter
OF Mr.. Farnham's, the sheriff says, for
disposal at the Big Days.
There was plenty doing at the Big
Days in the booze line. Little bands
of men had almost constant business
in nearby fields and other secluded
spots. Some looked rather ''orry-
eyed" stupefied or whatever the eff
fects are nowadays.
The sheriff put the little box away
with other relics in the ghost" room
and the bystanders swallowed and
moved on.

TRAPPERS BEHIND ORDER
TO CONSERVE WILD LIFE

Local trappers are behind the plan
of the conservation commission to
conserve raccoon and muskrat and
have even gone further by voting ten
to one to have protection placed upon
all fur-bearing animals. 1t is ex-
planned that once the bars are down
allowing the trapping of skunk, etc.,
it would be impossible to enforce an
order protecting the coon and rat.
Well posted farmers inform the
Herald that the lowly and certainly
odoriferous skunk is one of the best
friends of the farmer. They say the
skunk lives almost entirely upon in
sects that prey upon crops, thus help
ing to maintain the wise balance OF
nature, anu state further that skunks
burrow through manure piles after
bugs and grubs. An examination OF
a manure pile after it has been gone
through by skunks will show, these
farmers claim, nothing but shells and
wings of bugs and absolutely no
grubs.
The vote here was ten to one in
favor of a closed season with proper
regulation of fur buyers. The COM
mission has the power to close the
season but opening must be by legis-
lative enactment.

Hail Ruins Crops
Thru Wide Area

The heavy wind and hail storm
that swept certain parts of the coun-
ty Tuesday caused considerable dam
age to standing crops.
Along Waterloo ridge near Burton
the worst damage was reported. At
the Harry Stoney home window glass
were broken on the storm side and
hail stones six inches around picked
up.
Corn was cut to ribbons and beaten
down in that neighborhood. Uncut
oats were ruined.
The hail was "streaky" in that it
affected certain areas while others
apparently in the path were not
touched. Considerable damage was
done around Bloomington and some
damage reported from other localities.
Heavy Hail In West Grant.
Tuesday afternoon a heavy hail
storm from the north struck the south
end of Campbell Ridge and swept on
south across the prairie, striking the
farms north and east of this village.
The storm was from one to two miles
wide and nearly or completely ruined
the corn crop for every farmer in it's
path AS a rule the leaves are all
stripped from the stalks, and in
places the pelting of the big hail
stones cut off ears too. Garden truck,
including potatoes, also suffered from
the bombardment. Many north and
east windows in nearly all the homes
in the path of the storm were broken.
Luckily the crop of oats was nearly
all harvested and saved.-Record.
Hail Wrecks Havoc In Richland.
The hail storm which struck Don
ner Hollow, this county, and hit a
considerable strip of Wisconsin from
the Mississippi to Stoughton and be-
yond, was damaging to the extent OF
many thousands Of dollars. On three
farms in Bonner Hollow considerable
damage was done. A. A. Thomson, OF
this city, lost twenty acres OF corn,
the ears and leaves were stripped
from the stalks, and must be consid-
cred a total loss. Another resident
in the vicinity lost several acres OF
corn and tobacco, while still another
farmer had his corn damaged to a
great extent.-Rustic.
