In loving memory of our dear moth
er, Mrs. Nancy Sloan, who passed
away one year ago, Feb. II, 1922.
Today recalls sad memories
OF loved one gone to rest,
And the ones that miss her most today
Are the ones that loved her best
No eyes can see us weep,
But many tear is shed,
While others are asleep.
More and more each day we miss her,
Friends may think the wound is
healed;
But little do they know the sorrow
That lies within our hearts con-
cealed.
Her loving and sad children,
MISS REBA SLOAN,
MRS. RUTH BOLDEN,

WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, NEWS

Rev. j. T. Muse, pastor of the Sec
ond Baptist Church, preached his
farewell sermon Sunday night. The
attendance was good both morning and
night At the morning service one
young man and two young women
were converted and united with the
church for baptism.
Rev. Muse made splendid report of
his three years work in Woodland:
80 additions to the church, and 10 of
this number were by conversion; total
visits, 636; funerals, IL marriages, .;
letters in the interest of the church,
2S2; cards, 260; money raised ST.

Rev. and Mrs. Muse certainly are
great church workers, and the Lord
has surely used them since coming TO
Woodland. The church is mt a loss to
give them up. The three newspapers
of our city spoke very highly of them,
with their regrets at seeing them leave
town. They left Thursday morning in
their auto for their new charge in

MuIdoon's Ban on Dempsey
Merely to Halt Huge Offers,
Is Belief

NEW YORK, Feb. 2SsThe bars
which were down against Jack
Dempsey in his efforts to display
his fistic prowess in New YORK
rings, probably win be lifted WITH
in the next three or four Weeks.
III lis whispered that tihann
Muldoon's ruling in behalf 81 TIE
New York State athletic com as
sion against heavyweight CONT
in New York was made largely to
silence promoters from making nnRl-
lion--or was it billion-dolla offers
for Denipsey's services.
Inasmuch as those who want to
stage Dempsey affair have re-
turned to normally in money mat
tiers, MuldoOn is expected to state
in the middle OF March that Denap-
sey can fight in New York State
this summer. But his announce
ment probably will contain the con
dition that the champion must
work on a percentage basis.
And, at the same time Muldoon
is exected to insist that the SIS
maximum ticket price shall prevail
for any contest in which the cham
pion participates.
All of which will not annoy
Dempsey exceedingly, because a co.
900 crowd could be packed into the
Yankee ball park at prices ranging
from So to $25. This would make
an average Of about $11 per ticket,
which would mean approximately
81 ,OO0, 900 in receipts. OF this sum
Dempsey would get at least half
and a 100000 purse on the per-
centage basis can't be scoffed at,
even by a worlds champion.

This was the pith OF some re-
marks yesterday by DR.. Walter L.
Carias, tho Penn baseball coach,
after the drizzle of rain had put
the hbosh on the days baseball
work at Penn, where DR.. Cariss is
conducting preliminary training for
his battery men, he told of the pos.
sible league.
For some time there has been
talk of a league, and I think that
at the time the 1924 dates are ar
ranged, late this spring, that eff.
forts will be directed at Corning
league" DR.. Cariss stated.
There has been much talk about
the organization of a league, and
such a thing undoubtedly would
add much interest to college base
ball, which it now lacks"
None Of the sO-caIIed Big Three
colleges would join the league,
because Of a round robin series Of
their own. But a six-club league,
as advocated i'm many quarters
could easily be formed from other
teams.
This year Penn has a three-game
series each with Cornell, Columbia
and Dartmouth. The other two
teams could be selected from Penn
State. Pittsburgh, Syracuse. Yer.
mont, Holy Cross, Amherst and
Brown. These colleges all have
good ball teams. An eight-cluh
circuit is not desired, as it would
necessitate too many games. A
six-club circuit with home and
home games all around the league
would make the situation similar to
the basketball league, which has
proved so successful.

They insist that the worst the

was a draw and that the Pitts

trifle rough.
They rise to ask whether box
