JERSEY CITY, July 13. Jess Willard the man mountain" of Kansas, returned to fistic oblivion last night staging a futile act in his comeback before a throng of more than 100000. the greatest in ring history, which filled Boyles Thirty Acres to overflowing.
 Luis Angel Firpo, dark-browned mauler from the Argentine, closed the door to Willard's attempted re- turn to fistic fame by knocking out the giant and former champion in the eighth round in a slashing bat tle. the greatest of recent heavy weight history Incidentally Firpo reached the goal of his past year of Ameteoric rise to prominence-a match for the title with Dempsey
 There was no question of super iority by the Argentine battler.
 Willard's superior weight, height and reach enabled the big Kansas man to check Firpos rushing attacks in most of the early rounds but in spite of the Americans gameness under fire, the tide of battle swung inevitably in favor of the younger and more rugged fighter.
 The final round opened slowly as they spared at long range and lit tie hint came that the end was near. But suddenly, Firpo unleashed say lage drive at Willard's head and body. The fury of that attack never before failed to bring down the South Americans quarry and Big Jess, in spite of his towering size and stamina. wilted step by step Willard tried to gain ground, trying to blindly ward off the yolley of jolts to the head and body and then backed up against the ropes. His head sank and then a right, shot 1 to the head, sent him to his knees He reeled as referee Harry Lewis started counting. shaking his head and trying to lift himself up. But l the waning strength in that great l hulk was unequal to the task and ! he sank into the arms of his 1 handlers at the final count.

Fierce Rally in Final Inning
 Saves Moose-Darkness Ends Weird Game.
CITY LEAGUE STANDING

Eleven runs behind when they went to bat in the last of the sey enth inning last night, the Moose ing the pill for nine safeties, in cluding a triple and two-bagger which combined with four errors and a passed ball enabled them to tie the score. The game was called at the end of the seventh on account of darkness, the score tied, Moose 1T, American Legion IT.
 It was a smashing end to a game which had dragged aloong listlessly all the way. Neither Burt, for the war vets. nor McCloskey for the Moose, were given any support. The Legion scored four and the Moose three earned runs. Trailing hope lessly, as it seemed, even the most hardened Moose fans had abandoned hope when the seventh rolled around Those eleven runs looked like Mt Juneau on a foggy day but the fog was swept away.
 How Moose Tied
 GdnldTd, llfSt DdileI up lol lhe Moose in the seventh, hit a grounder inside first base line which Wood ard let get through, giving the big Moose backstop life. Jimmy Me Closkey singled cleanly between first and second, putting Gamara on third Gene McCloskey rapped out line drive over short for single, SCOT ing Gamara and sending Jimmy to third. Bill Beaudin singled after Gene had stolen second, and scored Jimmy, Gene going to third After getting two strikes on koskey, Burt put one in the groove which the Moose shortstop hit for two bases, scoring Beaudin and Gene. Bothello flied out to Sabin. Miller was safe when Hanna missed his grounder to short, Koskey scoring on the error. Messerschmidt famed. Jacobson sin gled to left field. Miller going to third and Jake taking second on the throw-in. One of Burt's slants got away from, MacSpadden, Miller SCOT ing and Jacobsen going to third from where he scored on Gamara' s single Jimmy McCloskey doubled, sending Gamara to third. Gene Me Closkey singled, scoring Gamara and Jimmy took third. Bill Beaudin was safe at first when Woodland dropped Burt's throw to the bag, the throw being low, j. McCloskey scoring. Koskey dispelled the fog when he hit long drive over Magorty's head in left field for three bases, SCOT ing Gene McCloskey and Beaudin. Bothello ended the agony by strik- ing out.

.SWARMING TIME COMING
MUNICIPAL HIVE

Owing TO the lateness of the season
for grasshoppers and other Insects,
with the s%nowdrifts hanging on for
the Fourth of July, certain bees that
generally buzz around Ely every sec
ond year at least, have been hcled
up until now. This condition has
been so everlastingly staid that to
ask a person or persons who wants
to be or is going to be the next
mayor you cannot get a rise cut Of
one-tenth of them.
Barkis was a man of few words.
and so this year are most the candi-
dates for Office. Two years ago It was
different, as they were making all
kinds of rackets around here and the
echoes we're heard clear over to Big
springs. But in a campaign involv-
ing several days and as many d5rec-
tons of approach so far, at least, none
has been forced to admit that he was
not willin'.
Mr.. Gallagher says he does not
know whether or not he is going TO
run-that he is sticking around to
see what his friend and most LOYAL
supporter, Fred T. West, thinks
about it. If Mr.. West want to run
for mayor he'll stay out and yield
up his fervent and clean-eut support.
Hike right over to Mr.. Vests and
he will most likely tell you that he
is kind O. waiting to see what Mr..
Gallagher Is going 10 do, for he never
would consider opposing his present
chief.
It is surmised If not known that
Mr.. Gallagher feels a certain desire
to e Aultman street paved and that
it would suit him better 10 retire
with that to the city's credit and the
sidewalks and cutters fixed up at the
same time. His worst enemies. IL he
has any worst ones. will admit that
his two years came at an unfortunate
lime in the political life of any man,
when finances were such that no pub
lie improvement could be passed be-
yond the conversational stage, and
TO extract credit would be an under.
taking like Mutt and jeff were up
against when it was 40 in the shade.
but there was no shade. So IL is but
natural for this phase to enter the
psychology of the hour.
Mr.. West has made one definite
statement. and it is not without its
magnanimity. He says ne thinks the
present city government is well bal.
to criticism, and If the voters of Ely
may be judged by the condition of
his own mind they would like to see
about the same bunch enlisted and
told 10 carry on.

So much for that. But the name
of Chris Rowan has been mentioned
for mayor and Chris admits that he
has heard it mentioned. Several per
sons-quite a few-haye spoken of
IT in his near presence. They have
besought him to run-to go after 1t.
And he doesn't know what to do
about it. He has his own ideas and
says the city is nearly $100, 600 in
debt, that Aultman should not be
paved without making a good job of
the water main that leaks and might
wreck the concrete and other sur
facing, and altogether 1t is no snap
10 make up a persons mind, must
less to get by with it in the days to
come. So he is up in the air and
admits it.
And these are not all. William e.
Goodman, DIR. w. w. Cook, o. G..
Bates, Alfred Tamblyn, J. w. Russell
and some more of them have been or
will be talked about. There is, po-
t~entially speaking, a long list of eli
gibles, but few of them have arrived
at the Barkis period. But, as Coun-
Gilman Russell himself would say,
they might.
That is a reminder of another but
not exactly different subject. II IS
that of candidates for the council.
Being asked If he would again run
Mr.. Russell said in rather bashful
tones, II might" In the talks that
have been heard this political oracle
has not heard the mention of a name
in ward No. 2 to go against the prop
losition of seeking Mr.. Russells
berth. The field looks clearer for
him than all the rest.
1t would look a good deal the same
for Mr.. West were IL not for that
lingering doubt that he might go
higher up for with him as a mayor
atty nominee there might be n and
there might be a dozen after his
councilmanic job. Mentioned in that
sort of emergency have been E. o.
Ringer and o. G. Bates, each with
an i'll MS ndHlf anu oHt WIN al
mits that he really is a ringer.
Either or both might do for a chance
throw.
It is down in Central Ely that the
real politics is to be pulled Off they
say. Nobody blames Phil McKernan
more than the rest OF the admins
ltration for the storm ditch PROPOSE
tion. but Andy c. Barr looms up as
the ideal and political Moses of those
who are in fear and trembling over
their ability 10 get across dry shod
II is not Mr.. McKernan any more
than the others, but the Barri;es are
taking the performance seriously and
will vote a sort of straight ticket
from top down. Ii is understood that
their leanings are Rowanward, but
they would not object TO Tamblyn,
Goodman. Russell, Cook or several
others that might be listed.
May S is the day.
