"When John l.. Sullivan passed
as the worlds champion, people
used to say that he made half a
million dollars in the prize ring.
Half a million dollars is a lot
of money, even for these days,
but Dempsey, counting what he
received when he fought Car
pentier, has made 100000 more
than that in two fights.
zone hundred thousand dollars
$4,000 to be exact-was
what Jim Jeffries and Jack
Johnson received together when
they fought in Reno, and that
was sure-enough big fight, from
the standpoint of public interest.
But a promoter who offered
Dempsey 100000 for a fight

years experience, it will hardly
be fair to form any conclusions.

Washington fans should not

COLLEGE COURT
ADDITION OPENED
Columbia Securities Co, Of
ferS High-Grade Lots,

A new and very beautiful addition
has just been opened at Fifty-Third
st. and College Ave. by the Column
bia Securities Company, 124 z. Mar
ket st.
A particularly attractive feature
of this addition, College Court, is a
central driveway with a round court
from which forty and fifty front lots
radiate. 1t is the plan of the agents
for this high-class residence addition
to plant shrubs and trees and flow
ers to further beautify it. Very strict
limitations viii be placed upon the
erection of homes in this territory
in order to insure persons against
deterioration of the value Of their
property.
B. f. SagalOwsky, manager, point
ed out that the work had started on
the addition and building will be-
gin shortly. There are fourteen
lots Of almost equal desirability.
Those fronting on College Ave. VIII
have a building line forty feet back.
They are rs feet deep.
The location is an ideal one for
building OF high-grade homes, being
in direct line with the direction of
the city's growth and accessible by
the Broad Ripple car line and thor
oughly improved.

NEARLY PERFECT
FURNACE OFFERED
25 Years Proved Its Depend
ability to F, j, Doyle.

A furnace with every possible de
vice for saving heat and lessening
the burden Of the heating problem
in winter is what r. ]. Doyle Of
the Doyle Heating and Sheet Metal
Company has for his customers.
The standard" furnace is self
cleaning being so constructed that
every bit Of deposit from the fuel is
dropped back in the fire. This in
evitably reduces the cost Of the care
of the furnace and doesn't allow the
heat surface to become clogged.
An equally important feature Of
the STANDARD" furnace is the fact
that the shaker automatically falls
into position when you are through
shaking it so that the Goals remain
in the fire box until the crate is
shaken again.
Doyle declares that in working
with this furnace for twenty-five
years he has become more and more
impressed with the dependability Of
it and that enough cannot be said
in its favor.

BERKELL PLAYERS TO
BE SEEN IN DRAMA

The Berken Players will present
the first drama Of their summer sea
son at English's next week when
they will appear in 1.-The Man Who
Came Back" Jules Eckert Good
mans prolific play of regeneration,
one OF the outstanding dramatic hits
of recent years.
The play carries an appeal that
pIumbs the depths of human emo
tons. It's principal character is the
type Of a man whom Americans adj
mire, for having gone wrong, he
determines to make restitution, and
in tie face of tremendous odds
fights his way back to a position
of honor and the esteem of his fell
lowmen. The pampered son Of a
millionaire. endowed with every ad-
vantage that wealth can bring, he
early in life succumbed to the temp
tations Of the primrose path, becom-
ing in time a pitiable figure.
The scenes range from New York
to San Francisco, and thence to the
Orient, where, in an opium den in
the city Of Shanghai, the faint spark
of manhood that still burned with
in him is famed to flame by a wom-
an, who turns him about, and with
her at his side he makes the long
fight back. There are many tense
situations, and moments of sheer
drama in the plot.
The play is in five acts, all sump-
tuously mounted, and Berkell has
spared no effort to give it a note
worthy production.
