SOMERVILLE, n. j., November a.
The Hall-Mills murder trial opened
on a day incomparably clear, serene

terday the white marble steps of the

DEMPSEY MAY MEET TUNNEY IN SUMMER
Boxing Followers Expect In.
 pOTtant Announcement

New York, March 9 Pl--Ears of the eastern boxing followers are at tuned. For an important announce ment is expected this week for tb" offices of Tex Rickard. The pros rect, now declared to be almost q probability, is that the champion heavyweight of the world. Jack Dempsey, will meet the American light heavyweight champion, Gene Tunney, this summer,
 The prospect would seem 10 erect another fence in front of tho peren- nial challenger Harry Wills, the nc- gro who has been engaged in q title quest for many years. Accord ing to the New York State Athletic commission, which has drcrecd many things with large measure of success, Wills is the logical con- tender, and up to this time the con- mission attitude has remained un- changed.
 But there is a rumor, well de- fined, that before long the New York officials will decide that Wills brought upon himself some sort of penalty for signing to meet Domp- soy after tho champion had drawn the commissions ire. This would open the way to bout between Dempsey and Tunncy.
 Rickard is seeking the Yankee stadium but if unable to make ar engagements for the use Of the base ball park this season, he is said to be prepared to build a $600,00O structure in the metropolitan area. The stadium could be raised in three months under present plans. Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City is un- desirable for q championship con fest as the Jersey legislature failed 10 pass a bill which would permit a $50 ringsidc price. Moreover. de- risions are not permitted in New Jersey.
 TunneY is in New York. having arrived from Miami Saturday night, and he says hc stands ready 10 meet anyone, hut would prefer Dempsey or Wills. The Times says today that a friend has rcncivrd tolographic word from Dempsey rCi'cratinG the champions intention of defending his title against Tunncy in August under the direction Of Rickard.

 It speaks well for the training of Louis Burdick given his pupils at the '. NJ. c. A. wrestling classes that the entries from New Britain in the state |. NJ. C. A. title meet In Torrington Saturday won the state championship by a big margin. New Britain boys certainly make themselves known in all athletic events and we expect that VIC will hear something from the student pugilists in the near future.
 Coach Harry Ginsberg Is probably the most enthusiastic man at bas- ketball game wherein his team is taking part. Saturday night Harry was all smiles when the Legion team registered a victory. We venture the guess that the person who said q short timo ago that the greatest factor in the Legion teams play was the enthusiasm o the teams coach, said a mouthfu.
 One admirable feature about the Legion players is the manner in which they absorb the advice given them by thcir coach. When he tells them to cut in, they do it. On the other hand, if one of them is not going so good, he advises the particular player 10 sit on the bench and the player feels that he is helping his team along by keep. ing out of the game. Work like his, is bound to make an orsaniza- ton successful especially when every one connected with 1t is working his head off to win.
 Last year, bunch Of kids This year q basketball team that stands tied in a series with the National Guards. There Is something to take notice of and by next year, tho Legion outfit will be one to be reckoned with.
 One of the fastest ball hawks in the game is Nyborg and how this boy keeps going is more than most of the fans can dope out. He is in on almost every play and can travel with the fastest men in the game. He is a. pretty sure shot when it comes to Tipping them in. The "old war horse" Jack Pellotier Is another who can play q whale Of & game when he wants to.

 35. The game constituted one of the best battles seen in this city | this season. The teams were dead locked at the end of the first half, l5 all. It was the work of the Legion | team from the free throw line in he second half. especially tho "agle eye of "Micky" Luke that beat the Guards. Each team scored tho same number of field baskets and fouls In tho first half. They made six field goals and three fouls nplcce for total of 15 points.
 Tn the second half, the Guards scored nine field goals to the Le- gion's five but the Legion scored Ii fouls 10 the Guards two and thereby had tho one point margin that spelled victory for them and made third game necessary to decide the championship of the city.
 It Is hardly likely that those who still persist that the series is fixed. can substantiato their claim by looking at the figures. Two teams would have to be perfect to end the first half at 15 all and then have one team win by one point margin. Then, anyone who saw how the players battlcd during the sec ond half would hardly say that either team laid down. Q
 One cannot take away the credit from the Legion team for the vic- tory. They won the game and that's that. The deciding game will be played next Saturday night and this will be some battle.
 The game between the Guard Re- serves and the Burritts was a clas- sic all by itself, This was also won by a one point margin giving tho Reserves the junior title. One can hardly say that the Reserves show ed any great superiority in the game and it was simply a break on what looked like a very lucky shot by Billy Darrow that gave the Reserves the game. Darrow was just going outside beyond the bas- kct when he flung the ball in the general direction of the basket and the ball went in. This beat the Burritts, although they had plenty of chances to get ahead if they made their foul shots good,
 Dick Dillon, by refereeing the two games Saturday night, ran his to- tai to 205 games at which he has ofticiated this season. Saturday night the two games made the third and fourth he refereed that day. He missed just two week nights in working at games, those being the two nights of the big now storms.

 Manager Clarence Lanpher Of the Guards had game arranged Tor Middetown this coming Satur- day night but he will be forced to cancel this appointment so that he can finish the series for the city title, Tho third game should be a real scrap, though we hope there will be no hard feelings on the sur face.
