DUNDEE THREATENS
 ID QUIT BOXING
PeeVish Over Demand for Kaplan
 Bout

Merden, July S.-Iehnny Dundee, shern of his junior lightweight cham pienshin, and facing the possibility of losing his feathsrweisht title. is threatening 10 leave the ring rather than give in 10 the demands Of the New York athletic commission to meet Louis tkidl kaplan, Of this city. At least that's the story of Walter St. Denis, writing in Thurs day nights issue of the New York Evening Bulletin.
 Dundee says he docs not object to meeting Kaplan-or any other fight er--but he feels that the title he strove for, and earned only after a dozen years Of chasing, Is worth something 10 him. In other words Dundee will not meet kaplan unless the top price is paid by the pros moter who stages the championship title. Unless his demands are met in full Johnny pays his final respects to Fistiana and retires 10 little world of his own--that snug little home of his in West Orange, N. j.
 Charley Johnston. manager or Dundee, has been doing the talking for the champ, when the latter was approached in regards to his personal feelings over the way the commission ruled at the last meeting in New York. The following statement is &C., credited 10 Johnston:
 Why should the boxing commits sion pick on Johnny" blurted the young manager. and insist on him fighting, when other champions like Benny Leonard, Jack Dempsey and Abe Goldstein can go skylarking about and without the attention Of the board of boxing control? The featherweight championship which Johnny won in hard fight with Eugene Criqui only last summer, hasn't paid the dividend to Johnny that it paid to it's previous two hold CTS.
 "There, for instance, was Johnny Kilbane able to get S10o,O00 for meet ing Criqui, and the latter in turn to get sS0,ooo to box Johnny. Dundee hasn't made anything like that out of the title, and now the boxing com- mission is coming along to insist that the champion meet his challenger for a comparative plate of ham and beans.
 That fellow kaplan may be a good fighter, but he's never served in this city in 8 star bout, that is not one that was not double up with another main event. He hasn't been big enough card to be played alone in any club. and even in his own home town of Meriden, he isn't such a great card.
 "Why Meriden was there with an offer of only so0.o0o purse for the match with Dundee. It's laugh, isn't it? And the best offerfrom bis home state was from George MuAi- gan. of Waterbury. who made Johnny guarantee of s25,ooo for himself.
 "Now the commission is going to tell us where we'll fight kaplan, and state the date too, I tell you. New Y eek doesn't want it. and Pm sure the bout wouldn't draw enough to pay the help at any open air arena. That forbids US going through with it here unless we get the price we paid for the chance to win the title. It will | have to be held out of town, if it is 1 held at all. However, we'll sign with | kaplan. before next Tuesday, then | leave it open for bids, but no conn., mission is going to browbeat us into 1 the iNateh, for carfare. Johnny will | quit first" !

day as follows:
For Georgia ~ Heavy fsosts

northern divisions stopped all fur
Their growth of cotton still remain
ing in the fields. The weather has
been dry and clear most of the
week, followed by beneficial rains,
placing The soil in good condition
for blowing and sowing winter
wheat, oats and rye. and better
progress has been made than here
tofore. The bulk OF the state's
cotton is out, except in scattered
fields In the northern por.ion of
the state. The dry weather great
ly improved the staple that remain
ed in the fields Practically all
peanuts were stacked throughout
the week.
For Tennessee ~ There were
heavy to killing frosts Thursday
and Friday with continuance of
the drought There was some rain
in the eastern district Of the state.
Harvesting is progressing satisfac-
torily and some grain has been
sown. However, it is still too dry
for termination and growth. Prob
ably 80 per cent of the cotton has
been gathered and housed and is
in fine condition. A small amount
of corn was damaged by the frosts,
bat practically all of it has ma
tured
