crush the championship aspirations

This is the opinion OF boxing OK
perts who watched the champion in
his snappy workout yesterday
against a trio Of light sparring part
ners. Dempsey used his left CON
tlnually while punching the bag,
shadow boxing and against his
punch catchers. The experts agreed
that D~empsey's left is working fast
err and with greater accuracy than
ever.
Jack Britton. former welterweight
champion said today that in his
Judgment, Dempsey had shortened
the swing Of the hook slightly, max
ing # more effective.
Dempsey was never still, even
during the 80 seconds res between
rounds In his workout yesterday.
During this brief period, while his
sparring partners painted in their
corners. Dempsey walked around the
ring with short. snaDDy steps, con.
tinually hooking the air with vicious
let's.
The champion. glad to be relieved
Of his troublesome cold. was IN q
good humor yesterday. He joked
with visitors at his cottage and
twice drew roars Of laughter from
the crowd by p'ayfully taking a cou.
pie Of punches at Billy Lyons, a
friend from Denver. who was ref.
freeing the training bouts.

force, win take up its work today.
w. Z. BeaIe, chairman Of the

lie and private buildings committee
has named the following on the
committee which win represent the
board: Frank J. Upman, w. ID.
Ham and L. p. Wheat, IF.
1t was pointed out at yesterdays
meeting that the building In
spector's office will be handicapped
in every way through the slashing
OF appropriations by the House
and that such action is inexcusable
as tending further to demoralize
the building inspection office rather
than build It up as the first an
niversary Of the Knicke
catastrophe approaches. After the
Knickerbocker tragedy last year
the searchlight of publicity was
thrown on the building inspection
office here.
Chairman Beale announced he
would appoint two other commit
tees, one to acquaint the Senate
with the need Of a new national
guard armory, and another to
plead the cause Of an archives

Enthusiastically was thrilled. He
prepared himself for introduction

sitting in marble and mahogany Of

into the big world.
Great was his establishment,
therefore, when after swift walk
Gray turned into a tiny frame in
surance office on a side street.
Funny place to look for people of
influence, Buddy cogitated.
A girl was seated at a desk; she
rose at sight of Gray, and her face
broke into a smile. Her greeting
was warm; her hand fingered in MS
for the moment neither of them
seemed to remember Buddy's pres

however, her face lightened and
she gave her hand to him as to an
old friend. When she smiled at
him, as she had smiled at his COM
panion Buddy dropped his hat. He
had never seen anyone in the least
like this creature and-she knew
Allie! She knew his mother! He
had missed her name, but probably
she owned that Dallas department

"Soon, l hope"
"And in the meantime?"
Gray considered this question
briefly. I'm the meantime-if you
will agree to say nothing to Bob,
will promise not declare my
feelings, not to see her alone"
That's CO." said the father.
Without further ado, the two
men left.
The Nelson's bank was thrown
as the Security National, and it
represented the life work of two
generations of the family. Bells
father had founded it, in the ear
ly cattle days, but to the genius
and industry of Bell himself had
been due its growth into one of
the influential institutions of the
state. Other banks had finer quar-
tiers, but none in this part of the
country had more solid standing
nor more powerful names upon its
directorate. Bennett Swope, for in
stance, was the richest of the big
cattle barons; Martin Murphy was
known as the Arkansas hardwood
king, and Herman Gage owned and
operated a chain of department
stores. The other two-there were
but seven, included Bell and his
son-were northern capitalists who
took no very active interest in the
bank and almost never attended its
meetings. For that matter, the
three local men above named con-
cerned themselves little with the
actual. running of the institution,
for the Nelson's, who owned nine
tenths of the stock, were supreme
in that sphere. 1t was only at the
annual meetings when directors
were re-elected-and invariably
they succeeded themselves-that
they foregathered to conduct the
dull routine business which is a
part of all annual meetings.
In spite of the fact that the
program this year was as thorough
" cut and dried as usual, the day
of the meeting found both father
and son decidedly nervous, for
there were certain questions OF
management and Of policy which
they did not wish to touch upon,
and their nervousness manifested
itself in an assumption Of friend
illness and good fellowship quite
