leather was as stiff as shoe leather. Dempseys first fight offer came from Harry Hill, big sport around New York ill 1883. Hill offered Dempsey $50 to fight the sensational
 Ed Mcdonald, a middleweight, We
 all sncaled off to Flushing and the ring was pitched at dawn in back
 Of a roadhouse. London ring rules with bare knucklcs were agreed { upon.
 Dempsey surprised everyone, in cluding himself, by knocking out
 Mcdonald in the 27th round.
 The lightweight class as such was I hardly recognized then but due to
 the stimulus Dempsey injected into
 the division interest began to boom. John Shanley. q wealthy Brook
 lyn sportsman, took Dempsey up and
 said he would back him in all fights he had. It was the custom then for every good fighter 10 have rich
 "backer."
 At this time, Charley Norton. an Englishman living in Newark, claim
 cd the title. Most of his claims were verbal, He fatly refused to fight Dempsey and with all this talk about
 the lightweight class it soon became
 established and Dempsey was fixed as its leader I am thankful he re- vived the class because it made me q figure of greater prominence when
 l came into it later.
 The Dempsey Norton fcud grew and grew. Finally Harry Force, an other Englishman and protegc of Norton's. said he was the champion
 and he challenged Dempsey Demp-
 sey jumped at a chance to fight him, i angered at what he considered an attempt by Norton to make him look bad
 "I'll get him if it's tho last thing do" he said to me angrily. Editors Note-In the next chapter ! McAuliffe describes the Dempsey , Force fight held at Concy Island at midnight on September 3. 1883, deal ing with the bare knuckle strategy

League Standing

The R. X F.. basketball team in the Industrial league defeater the P. & r. Corbin quintet in hard and rough battle last night at the Y. M. c. A., but the margin of vic tory was so small that the game was in doubt right up 10 the last minute. The final score was 50 to 27 with the Corbin team coming in strong at the finish. The deadlock between the Corbin Screw and the Rnsswin teams remains after last nights play as the Screw Shop team came through against the New Britain 'fachine in the first game played turing the evening.
 Corbin Screw Wins
 The Corbin Screw quintet found the going very tough last night against the New Britain Machine Co. five and has experienced no stronger opposition than that given to them last night. The Machine Co.,, led at the end Of the first half by the score of II 10 and had it not been for the fact that the Screw Shop spuriod near the end of the sec ond half, the result would have been A toss-up.
 A field basket by F. Zaleski and q foul by Netrano started the Screw shop off at the beginning of the game, but field goals by Erny An- dcrson and Swanson put the Ma chipers ahead in the first four min utes. Yacobowicz scored a field goal but Erny Anderson tied it with a free try. It was a battle of real proportions in the first half. The Screw Shop players were well guard ed, Iacobowicz being held to two baskets and Netrano going without any. Each team scored three field goals in the half but the Newmatics placed two more free tries than the Screw Shop. The score at half time stood at II to 9 in favor of the Ma chiners.
 Eric Anderson scored first in the second half with a pretty field goal. Darrow got free try but Krause came through with another goal from the floor. Eetrano sank his first field marker for the night and Darrow added three points with field and foul goal. Ialeski, whose work gave the Screw Shop a lead ing margin. came through with long shot. Yacobowicz added foul and these all gave the Screw Shop team q five point lead.
 Eric Anderson interrupted long enough 10 score a pretty goal But. at this stage Of the game, the Cor bin Screw spurtcd. Luty got q field goal, Eetrano added a point from the free throw line, Zaleski sank q double counter from the floor. Luty got a second basket and Zaleski came through again. Eric Anderson finally got through for goal for his team and IIrause followed him.
 Vetrano. who is one of the <best foul shooters in the league. made two points from the free throw strips and Darrow followed him. Krause made the last points of the game with neat field goal.
 The Machine Co. continues 10 show improvement in it's playing form though the opposition proves 10 be just 2 little too tough. Erie Anderson. Erny Anderson and Nrause were the heavy players for tho losers while Eddie Zaleski, Luty and parrow made most of the points for the winners. The score:

CALVARY CHURCH
AND NO. Is PUT
DEVIL ON RUN

The revival meetings at Calvary
Baptist church opened auspiciously
Sunday morning. Evangelist White
sell talked on THE Greatest Church
of Christendom" and when the inv;-
tation was given, two responded. In
the evening he spoke of love, con-
trasting the love of God for his chill
dren with the love people bear for the
world.
In these meetings Evangelist White
sell showed himself to be an orator
and an evangelist of great power.
He now finds it will be possible for
him to remain in Douglas until Fri
day, June 4, which will enable him
to continue the meetings for 13 days.
In the organization of Calvary
church there has been a curious fire.
.quency with which the number 13 has
appeared The first meeting was on
April 13 with 10 present. The first
collection was $13, the first choir was
composed Of 13 singers, within d
month there were 13 candidates for
baptism and the first revival will con-
tinue for 13 days
The members of Calvary church are.
not superstitious but they cannot but.
feel that 13 is the DEVILS unlucKy
number and that from the very COM
mencement of these services the
evangelist has his satanic majesty on
the run and every member of Calvary
church is backing the revivalist to
keep the devil running. a
Monday evening, Evangelist White
sell and Pastor Howard held a meet
ing at the corner of Tenth and G in
which a number of young people of
the church participated. Street serv-
ices are not easy and it takes both
nerve and determination to partici-
pate in one bu the young people of
Calvary church are a loyal band and
are willing to- tell the world that they
are in earnest about their religion.

Buick Believes Satisfied
Buyers Best Advertisement

Buick has, always eblieved that
old saying: Satisfied customers are
the best advertisement" say officials
of the Southern Arizona Auto Co.
And because it Believes that, Buick
builds every car so that it will sat
isfy the owner. How successfully
this is done is indicated by the large
number of motorists who have owned
two or more Bucks. With SO many
cars on the market they would never
buy a second Buick if they were not
thoroughly satisfied wit their first
one.
But Bucks satisfied customers
are not content with merely buying
another Buick for themselves. They
tell Bucks merits to their friends
and as a result Buick sales are con-
tinually on the increase. Listen to
their statements and you will have 4
better understanding of why the
ranks of Buick owners are constantly
growing.

Dries right up!

If you just realized how easy it is to
stop fiery, itching, burning eczema by
simply building up the red -blood-cells
in your blood with S. S. S., you
wouldn't waste another minute trying
to do it any other way.
That's the only way to relieve irri-
tated, broken out skin of any sort. You
lack rich, red blood. Impurities are in
your system. The blood is so weak it
can't fight back and overcome the en-
emy, so the impurities break out
through the skin.
S. S. S. builds the blood back
builds millions of new red-blood-cells.
Eczema dries right up. Boils, pimples,
blackheads, ugly blotches and irritat-
ing rashes all disappear.
Clear up your skin. Get S, S. s.. All
druggists sell it. The larger bottle is
more economical.
