Two stars dropped from the Dis
trict tennis armament yesterday
when Clara Aiderton and Virginia
Oimsted, defending titlests for the
Junior doubles champi Onship, made
way for two more brilliant players,
Dorothy Cook and Caroline Jansen.
Two sets of the three-round bat
lie were played last week, the first
one going to the CoOk-Jansen duet
Cd, and the second one to Alder
ton and Olmsted, SIS. The third
set was b complete surprise. Cook
and Jansen ral1ed Ii In without
much opposition. 6--1.
Point after point was driven into
the net or over the line by Virginia
and Clara. Both girls served dou.
BILE faults at crucial points In the
games and often drove out appar.
entity easy shots. They were badly
off their usual game and when the
score went SO III favor Of Dorothy
and Caroline, realizing that they
were in danger of being BANKED,
they broke through and won q
game. The next game was won BY
the Cool-J ansen couple, completing
the match.
Dorothy Cook II Il Western High

Jansen is q graduate Of Western,
having figured iii tennis there for
several years. Dorothy holds the
junior singles as well ais the dou'
bles, and although Caroline will not

Cookie" who Is only is. will de-
fend her honors again.
Defeat was doubIy bitter fol

'sWe are willing to give Wills a
better price than any challenger has
received TO date. Dempsey took mis-
almost for nothing because he felt
he could win and earn his money
afterward
IF Wills is sincere, he win feel
the same way. If not. we can only
assume that he ia safter the losers
end"
Normile talked only after some
persuasive conversation from the
writer. He intimated that he pre-
ferred to await the arrival OF James
Coffroth, from the West, before
committing himself either one way
or the other. Coffroth was the Tex
Richard OF his day, which was the
day of the old championship battles
in California. incidentally, ii might
be mentioned thai NormiIe is one Of
Coffroth's very bright young men.
Therefore, II Normile says that
Dempsey is willing, one might very
well Judge that not only the cham.
pion but the promoter is amen
able TO the proposition. The only.
thing missing Is the challenger
and, IL all he wants is . fight with
the champion, that fight Is here.
This, at least. was the story in
the Dempsey camp this morning.
Maybe wills has q better PROPOSE
ton he can PROFOUND to the New
York State Athletic Commission.
Maybe Normile is merely talking
TO hear his teeth rattle. Anyhow,
! would say off-hand that propo-
sition from Jim Coffroth, II made,
would be a. better bet than any that
points.
Wills has looked into everything

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. sack
Dempsey win meet Harry Wills in
the long-awaited battle Of the ages
at Tia Juana within a matter of
months. according to the story which
broke within the champions train
Ing camp today. There are only
two factors that stand between the
two greatest heavyweights Of the

ture Of wills to a Dempsey contract
and the possibility, however vague.
that the champion might muff his
chance against Gene Tunney on the
night Of September %.
According to Gene Nornile. mama
ger or what not of the heavyweight
champion, the second possibility has
4 stronger chance than the first.
Normile says that Wills has set a.
prohibitive price on his head. so to
speak.
"He wants $3O0, 600, as under
stand it, the champions manager
declared. That's entirely too
much for any challenger. We are
fair enough, when It comes to
that. but IL Wills really wants

of damage, and much delay on the

The water in the river is reported
to have shown fifteen foot raise at

While there was no loss of life and
no direct damage done to the dam,
much valuable lumber was washed
away and steam shovels and derricks
submerged.
The chief difficulty presented by
the high water was the delay in

DoG-GoNE WHIsKEY

Three men hunting a dog, found
whiskey, and three State Police
hunting whiskey, found the three
men. After the men were found,
they were fined or will be, if they
are guilty and don't go to jail when
their case comes up in court.
These three men, Samuel and
William Jackson and James Nickle,
of Coatesville, were the only catch
of the police dragnet, which was
staged blythe State Police, operating
in connection with the county auth
critics between Oxford and the
Maryland line, over the last week
end. They were picked up near
Barnsley school house and in the
car, it is claimed, were found several
gallons of whiskey, a regulation
copper container, certain amount
of mash, yeast and other ingredients
of moonshine. The victims were
brought before Squire John T.
Miller, where they explained that
they were visiting in this neighbor-
hood and were hunting their dog
when they came across the whiskey.
After some little discussion they
decided to take it with them, and
that is how it came to be in their
car. The men were held in bail,
which was furnished by Abe Endy, of
Coatesville, who came to their
rescue Immediately he heard they
were in trouble.
The police were considerably
disappointed that their wholesale
guarding of the roads from Mary
land and thorough inspection of the
cars, did not yield them more
numerous victims. They had been
informed that the highways over
the border were filed with local rum
runners every Saturday and when
they did not find them, jumped to
the conclusion that there had been
a Leak Oxford News.

SENT ON THEIR WAY
REJOICING

Several days ago George Reider,
wife and three small children, in a
Ford sedan, landed in Rising Sun,
enroute from Florida to their home
in Boston. The family was entirely
without funds. Mr.. Reider stated
he had driven several hours in the
terrible storm that wrought such
widespread damage in Florida
recently During the storm, the
glass windows of his sedan were
shattered, some of the splintered
glass getting in his shoes, and
cutting his feet. When the family
reached here one of Mr.. Reider's
feet had become badly infected, due
to the cuts from the particles of
glass, and it was necessary to take
him to Union Hospital, Elkton, for
treatment, where he remained for
several days.
Meanwhile the stranded family
was cared for by some of those who
had become acquainted with their
circumstances, articles of clothing
given them and sufficient money
collected to pay their fares to
Boston and give them a purse OF
S57 over When Mr.. Reider return
ed from the hospital the sale of his
auto provided means for his reach
ing home by rail.
Messrs. Dinsmore interested them
selves in behalf of the distressed
family, and were instrumental in
securing contributions for them.

WORTHLESS OURS KILL
SHEEP

James w. Chapman, of near Ches
tertown, Kent county, is another
farmer to have the fact impressed
upon him that it is almost impossible
to raise sheep nowadays; on account
of the worthless dogs that are to be
found everywhere and are permitted
to roam at will, any number of said
ours never having dollar of license
paid on them.
Mr.. Chapman lost IT of his flock
of sheep last week, when dogs got
among them. Four of the sheep
were killed, five crippled, and eight
more are missing. A farmer on an
adjoining farm lost four of his
sheep, dogs killing them.

ARMIsTICE DAY AT. WEST
NOTTINGHAM ACADEMY

There has been in the Academy's
possession for about three months a
United States Flag that was used on
the Battleship Maine when it was
raised from it's resting place in
Havana harbor.
The flag came to the Academy
through one of the students, Don
]. c.. Vale, of Philadelphia, whose
brother was in the Navy and a
member of the crew which re-
claimed the Historic Battleship<
Knowledge of the possession of this
flag will be of particular interest to
those who knew John A. Kay, a
graduate of the Academy, who was
drowned with the Names crew when
the vessel was blown UP on Tuesday
night, February 18th, 1898. The
first monument to be placed in
Brookview cemetery, near Rising
Sun, was erected to the memory of
John A. Kay by the citizens of
Cecil county.
Upon the suggestion of Mr.. Slay-
baugh in Chapel on November 11th,
(Armistice Day., the boys who did
not have classes the following
period, went to the woods below
the Magraw House and returned
with a specimen pole sixty-five feet
high. 1t was planted in, front of
Gayley Hall, overlooking the campus
and at eleven o'clock the flag was
raised with appropriate exercises.
