Everybody arose early in these

well, do you think they've got

And before any answer could be
made by the neighbor folks. George

and made this reply:
Eyes, the greater part Of the
money was In hand over Sunday.
Checks for $4,000 each arrived in

Officials May Make
Jack Shave Before
Wednesday Bout

SHELBY, Mont, July e.
There is no likelihood Of any
argument over the rules for
the Dempsey Gibbons fight.
They are those adopted by the
Montana Legion and forbid
holding and hitting. There is
no rule against kidney punch
ing or the rabbit punch, but
otherwise the rules are about,
the same as in other States
where boxing is permitted.
However, there may be an
argument not on the schedule.
In Montana they have county
boxing commissions, and there
is a movement on foot to make
Dempsey shave before entering
the ring. Dempsey usually
does not shave before q bout.
