Chairman Farley
Argues for Wills
And Dempsey Bout

New York, June 4.-P)-If Jack
Dempsey and Harry Wills are pre-
vented from fighting in New York
state by political or other interior
ence," the Walker law should be
tossed into the Harlem river and
boxing buried in this state for ever"
This opinion was expressed today
by James A. Farley, chairman of the
New York State Athletic commission,
in discussing the controversy involv-
ing mixed match for the heavy
weight championship.
At the same time Farley threaten
ed Tex Richard with disbarment if
he continued negotiations to match
Gene Tunney with Dempsey.
8 II have fostered the cause of Wills
ever since / have been a member Of
the commission because / conscien-
ciously believe the negro is entitled
to first consideration as an opponent
for Dempsey" Farley said. IF there
is any tangible reason for objecting
to a Dempsey-Wills match l have
not heard it,
IF Tex Richard attempts to evade
the e6ict of this board by matching
Gene Tunney with Dempsey and
takes the fight to New Jersey l will
recommend to the license commits
sion that Richards license be re-
voked and that he be barred from
participation in the promotion of box
ing in New York state.

Ten British professional golfers,
sweeping through five 36-hole four

professionals for victory in each

The Americans. who are playing

BOWDOIN OUTFIT
Especial to the kehnebec Journal

Especial to the kehnebec Journal
Natervllle, June 4.-Colby went
into deadlock with the Uni
versity of Maine for first place in
the Maine intercollegiate series this
afternoon on Seavern's field as the
Blue and Gray walloped Bowdoin by
the sweet tune of IA to 4. The win
ner of this game went into a tie
with Maine as both teams have won
four contests and dropped two. Col
by was by far the. better team and
walloped the offerings of Sibley and
Gray all over the lot. Colby looked
better than she has all year and
showed that it had gotten over the
slump that it took a week ago. Col
by's victory was featured by heavy
batting and the Blue and Gray
swatters landed for IL safe blows
from the Black and White mounds
men. Two of these hits were cir
cult clouts made by Fagerstrom and
Captain Jim Peabody. The formers
four has ply came in the first inning
with the bases unoccupied and Pea
body poked out his wallop with two
men on bases in the second inning.
Peabody's hit was the longest seen
on the field this year and it went
over the fence in deep center field.
1t is doubtful if the two teams,
Maine and Colby will play off the
tie because of the short time left
and it is rumored that Maine has
disbanded for the year and the
championship title will have to re-
main a deadlock for this year.

HILL CLASH AGAIN
TODAY AT HEBRON
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Hebron, Maine. June 3.-The first
Hebron Kents Hill game this year
was played at Kent's Hill two weeks
ago, and by many of the spectators
it was said to be the best schoolboy
game ever played in this State. 1t
was a pitchers battle. from start to
finish, and as the final score was FL,
in Hebron's favor, the outcome was
uncertain till the last out. 1t was a
pitchers battle of the greatest degree
throughout.
These two teams meet again to-
morrow at Hebron, and all indica-
lions point towards a great battle.
Also, one of the biggest crowds ever
seen at Hebron is expected to wit
ness the game as it is the first event
of the four days of Commencement
exercises at Hebron.
In all probability, MacFayden and
Finn will be in the opposing pitchers
box, just as in tn first game. Mac
Hayden has been the leading light on
the Hebron nine all this season. Be-
sides being a strike out king, he is a

HELEN Wills OUT OF
DANGER after knife
OPERATION IN PARIS

Paris, June 4.-(P)-The hope OF
mia tennis star, would wrest the
worlds tennis laurels from Suzanne
Lenglen at the international hard
courts tourney played here, were
rushed to a hospital for an opera
ton for appendicitis.
The operation was a complete
success, and attending physicians
declared she was entirely out of
danger.
But Suzanne's title will not be
disturbed this year. so far as an
American challenge is concerned
for the doctors say it will be i'm
possible for Helen to play at VIM
bledon the end of June. In fact, she
may not be permitted to play again
until fall.
Helen, of course. thinks otherwise.
Even on the way to the operating
table she told team mate she
would be "all right" for Wimbledon.
Maybe l will not be able to play
in the Wightman cup matches in
UuI ain sure VIII DS
ready for Wimbledon
Announcement that Helens ILL
ness was appedicitis came as a sur
prise, though it was known she was
out of condition. Her play in
last weeks E'ranco-American team
matches and again on Wednesday
in the first round of the information
al tournament against Madame
Goldig was far from top form. She
was pale and drawn.
Helen herself thought she had
overturned. This opinion was shar-
ed by Professor D.-Arsonval, pro-
fessional tennis player, who had
charge of her training in Paris. On
Wednesday Helen's match with
Madame Golding, Mile. Lenglen's
old double partner, in the first round
of the international play, came at
the end of a cold, rainy day. Both
players were chilled when they took
the courts, and the second set had
just begun when downpour of rain
sent them to the clubhouse. Helen,
eager to have it over with, pleaded
for continuance the moment the rain
halted. Her wish was granted, but
when she returned to the courts,
she showed how much the few min
utes inaction had affected her.
She seemed almost Ill. Madame
Golding was able to carry this set
to 5-3, before Helen got back into
form again. Then she showed
flashes of her old unbeatable play
and took the four final games and
the match in almost less time than
it takes to tell about it.
That was her last appearance in
play. Yesterday she went to he rae
ing club, watching the matches for
a few minutes. Even then, the spec
tators remarked on her paleness.
Last night she complained she was
not feeling well, but it was thought
she was only experiencing a pass
ing ailment Although Helen suf-
fered much pain throughout the day
she hoped until nearly four O'clock
that she would be able to meet Miss
Bouman, of Holland. in the second
round singles.
Shortly before FIVE p. m, 1t was
announced that Helen would not
play: that she had slight cold,
but hoped to be alberto compete to-
morrow. Even the American team
members were unaware Of the SER
iousness of her condition III Ill ply
sicians ordered an imnediat opera
ton and she was rushed to a hos
pital.

The team committed just twelve mis-
