NO IDLE Time
FOR AUGUSTA HOUSE

There is no idle season at The
Augusta House, the biggest YEAR
round hotel In kennebec county
The summer that has just closed has
been a most successful one at the
hosiery. Not a summer night has
passed but what tourists have driv-
en- up to the door to be accommo-
dated either for one night or for a
longer stay. They have been met
with the courtesy for which Maine
is noted and. best of all, they have
been charged a moderate rate which
has left mighty good impression
on the minds of the visitors.
Now summer is past Tourists
nave for the most part gone. The
Augusta house takes on a new
aspect, for there are many families
who pass the summer at the lake
side or seashore who prefer the
homeLke atmosphere of the Augusta
house to any private residence.
All the fuss and bother of house
Keeping is eliminated The dining
room service is everything that
could be desired not only as TO the
quantity of the food but also a 10
the quality. 1t is safe to say that
the Augusta house will be crowded
this winter as it hasn't been for a
good many seasons.
Many OF those who will STAY there
VIII of course, be residents of this
section as has been said. But with
the coming of the session of the
Maine Legislature in January. there
VIII be many from other parts of the
state who will ask and receive ac-
commodations there The Augusta
mouse is very decidedly the political
headquarters of Augusta. and the
state of Maine too. when the Lepis-
lalufe is on. 1t even outranks tie

the whole of the business of the
Kennebec Oil Co With the intro
duction of oil heaters in this section
of the country has come a demand
for the oil fuel. This may be either
in the form of kerosene or crude oil.
The Kennebec Oil Co. is able to
supply either variety and has been
very successful in doing so.
Those who have oil burners have
little trouble in receiving their fuel.
In the great majority of cases, the
tank from which heaters receive the
supply is outside the building. 1t
Is only question of running a hose
from the tank truck to the opening
in the tank and in a few minutes
500 gallons or a thousand are poured
in and a householder is assured of
his supply for many days to come.
Whether or not oil will take the
place of coal is a question upon
which there is no agreement. But
one thing is certain: those who are
using oil, find that the fuel supplied
by the Kennebec Oil Co. meets all
requirements and the service Is or
the right kind.

MEXICAN BOYCOTT IS
 SAID TO BE EFFECTIVE
Editor of "imerica" Says That Gales is Withholding Exact
 Result Of Action

South Bend, Ind, Sept. s UP,-The Catholic boycott undertaken in Mexico since enforcement of anti religious laws by the Mexican gov ernment is more successful than President Gales lets it be known, the Rev. Francis F.. Lebouf, editor of America, Catholic magazine, de- clared today in convention at St. Mary's college here.
 "The success of the boycott is not generally known, because the gov- ernment prevents the facts from reaching American correspondents" the Rev. Father Lebout said.
 A criticism Of materialistic phil Csophy and Of the note of despair in some modern literature was voiced by the Rev. David A. Lord of St. Louis, Jesuit author and teacher.
 The modern writers since Karl Marx and Neitsche tell us that Catholicism and Christianity are dead" he said. The only ones who believe in God. they tell us. are the individuals to whom they sneeringly allude as the simple witted tobacco

DEMPSEY MAY EARN S775,O00 IN BOUT
Guaranteed S475,MO With 50
 Per Cent Privilege of Gate

Atlantic City, N. J.. Sept. 2. R- Jack Dempsey may earn the fabu- lous sum of s775,ooo nearly twice the amount of money he ever re- ceiyed for any previous ring en- agreements when he raises his gloved fists in defense of his heavyweight championship against Gene Tunney in Philadelphia, Sept. 2S.
 The worlds heavyweight cham pion, it was reveiled today, has been guaranteed the staggering sum of s475,000 with privilege of 50 per cent of the gate receipts above s1,o0o,oo0 for the Tunney engage ment. Promoter Tex Rickard has assured Dempsey that the gate will undoubtedly reach s1,750.000. In that event, Dempsey will get s325,- 900 plus the s475,00o guarantee. for a fight that may go thirty seconds or the limit of ten rounds.
 Dempsey received around s425.000 for his cyclonic engagement with Luis Angel Firpo three years ago. His previous record gate was S300,- 900 for defeating George Carpenter in their famous battle of century In 1921. When Dempsey won the title from Jess Willard in 1919 he got s27,5O0 compared with s100,000 that went to the Kansas giant.
 The champion, continuing the sec ond days rest of his three day lay off. Is giving little thought to the fi- nancial side of the contest. The ru- nor spread today that he already has received a considerable amount of money in advance from Rickard and that it has been safely deposited in a mid western bank, safe from any attachments which Jack Kearns, his former manager may seek.
 Dempsey played dinner host last night to the newspaper correspon- dents covering his training activi- ties. He intends to continue his period of relaxation today, doing nothing more exciting than motor ing and perhaps going on fishing expedition.

BERLENBACH AND HICKEY
 PATCH UP DIFFICULTIES
Former Light Heavyweight Champ
 ion and Manager Forget Their Argument

New York, Sept, LPl-Paul Ber- lenpach, former light heavyweight champion, and his manager Dan Hickey, are not going to dissolve their partnership despite an agree ment last week to do so.
 Last Friday Berlenbach and the man who discovered him and developed him from a wrestler to an amateur champion of the world drew Up an agreement whereby the Astoria puncher was to receive his managerial freedom for s4O,O0o. Rumors of strained relations be- tween the fighter and his mentor had been in circulation for some time.
 Yesterday, when the pair met to consumate the deal. peace overtures were made successfully they shook hands, and the colorful firm will again labor together.
 The New York state boxing com- mission decided yesterday that Ber- lenbach must fight Tommy Lough- ran of Philadelphia before he can engage in any other bout in this state. The former champion with draw from the bout shortly before his trouble with Hickey. due, he said. to threatened nervous breakdown.

TUNNEY LAYS OFF
 BOXING FOR A DAY
Challenger Contents Himself With Nine Miles of Road Work

Stroudsburg, Pa, Sept. Pp- With no boxing today. Gene Tun- ney contented himself with a nine mile stretchz of road work in con- ditioning himself for his bout with Jack Dempsey, September 23, and found time to read a portion of his accumulation of mail.
 Today's mail delivery brought an offer of mysterious punch, sure to annihilate the worlds champion. An accompanying diagram indicat- ed that boxer using this circular punch" must wind up, much on the order of baseball pitcher as he de- livers the ball. This brought & sug- gestion from the challenger that he finds himself in the position Of a football csach, who when told of brilliant new play, devised by a budding genius. remarked that 1t was illegal in that the rules would not permit the second team going on the field to hold the opposition while the varsity executed the pro- posed play.
 The boxer is continually sought after A delegation from the famous Shawnee golf course today invited him to do round there. While he did not decline, he told the spokesman that he could not set definite date.
 You know I have an engage ment in Philadelphia, September 23rd." said Tunney. Tt is an en- gagement of some importance for l am to box there for the worlds championship. I must devote my whole time to preparation for this important event and everything else is incidental" He will probably play Shawnee before he leaves Stroudsburg but he made no prom ise today.
 Since he gained widespread mo- toriety as the literary boxer. Tun- ney's library has grown consider ably by contributions of worth while books. Several of the latest arrivals he already had but 1t is a tribute to his taste as a reader that no trash" has been among the books sent forward.

RAIN SETS BACK TENNIS TOURNEY
Committee Hopes to Have Semi
 Finals Saturday Afternoon

Rain has interrupted the schedule of games in the tournament for the tennis title of the city. but despite | this, the singles tournament is going along at rapid pace. Only three doubles matches have been played so far. but with fair weather this week, they should be played off quickly.
 ! Two singles matches were played last Saturday at the club courts on Lincoln road. kirkham defeated Parsons in straight sets but he had a tough tussle all the way. The scores were 7-5 and T-5. kleist had little difficulty in eliminating Cliff ford from the play in two straight sets, 6-1 and GO.
 Yesterday, four matches were played and one Of the best battles of the entire tournament was staged between kleist and Dressel with Kleist coming out on top. The match went to three sets before the winner was decided and the scores them selves will indicate the sizzling en- counter that took place. They are as follows: S-6, Ga and 6-4. Kirk ham disposed of Covell in short or der 6-1 and 60. Lanza overcame the shots of Steege to eliminate him 60 and 6-3. Then kron, last years champion, stacked up against Mur- doch and after hard tussle, emerged the victor 6-2 and 6-3.
 Duncan and Wheeler eliminated the O'Dell- Meehan team in the only doubles match played yesterday, 60 and 6-1. The winners showed impressive form during the play Stanley Duncan is a former Cornell man and Rodney Wheeler is a re- cent arrival in this city coming here from Bridgeport to be added to the Stanley Works force. This pair will bear watching throughout the tournament as they are being fav- ored to cop the honors in the doubles play.
 The matches scheduled for today are as follows: Doubles. Benson Kron, last years champions, vs. Lanza- Baldwin; Meyer -Covell vs. Carlson Carlson; Clifford Parsons vs. Kirkham- Cianci. One singles match is also scheduled with Kleiet meet ing E. Benson. kirkham originally

DAVIS CUP BATTLE STARTS TOMORROW
Tennis Stars of France and
 America Ready for Fray

Philadelphia. Sept. P-Tsnnis luminaries of France and America today sharpened their attacking strokes for the challenge round of he Davis cup tournament on the courts where the battle for world supremacy in the net game opens tomorrow.
 Despite recent heavy rains the turf at the Germantown Cricket club was in splendid condition and both the American defenders and French challengers planned to put in a full day in final preparation for the struggle. All the players appeared in excellent form.
 Until the draw for the first days matches is held the line up will not be definitely known, Experts, how ever, believe that the seeding of William T. Tilden, national cham pion, and Vincent Richards as No. 1 and No. In the national singles burden for America. Other mem- bers of the American team are William NJ. Johnston, the veteran Californian, who filled the No. 2 singles position in the Davis cup matches last year; Richard N. Will Hams, Edward G. Chandler, inter collegiate champion, and Alfred H. Chapin. Jr., Springfield, Mass, no intimation has been given as to the make up of the defending doubles team,
 For France observers believe that Rene Lacoste and Jean Borotra will be the selection for the singles. Henri Cochet has been playing bril- liantly, however, and his choice in place of Lacoste would cause no great surprise. Lacoste made a late start thls season due to bronchitis which gripped him In this country after he had won the United States indoor championship. Jacques Brugnon, fourth member of the in vading team probably will play with Cochet in the doubles.
 The first singles match tomorrow will start at p. m. The doubles on Friday will begin at 3:3o p. m., and the first singles match Saturday is scheduled to start .at 2;S0 ?. m,

AMATEUR STANDING
 IS NOW IN DOUBT
Golf Officials Puzzled Over
 Status Of Mary K. Browne

New York, Sept. 8 Pl-Amateur officials are perturbed over the sta tus in the amateur golf world of Mary K. Browne, star of the court and links, now that the California girl has become professional tennis player in the United States.
 After signing her contract with Charles C. Pyle to oppose Suzanne Lenglen in a series of tennis match es in America, Miss Browne express ed the hope that she would not be barred from future tournament competition.
 Even among officials of the Unit ed State Golf association, the exact standing of Miss Browne Is in doubt. Herbert NJ. Ramsey, secretary and chairman of the committee on anna teur status, said that a similar sit uation had never before confronted golf officials and there was there- fore no precedent. If Miss Browne enters the womens championship tournament to be held at the Merton Cricket club, Philadelphia, the week of Sept. o7, the committee will meet and decide her standing, he said.
 Naturally, I don't intend to speak for the committee before It meets. [ can only say that similar prob lens involving football coaches and baseball professionals have been de- cided in such way as to safeguard the standing of these athletes as far as golf is concerned"
 Because of the broad minded at tjtude shown toward professionals in other sports, other officials doubt that the committee would declare Miss Browne golf professional unless she should choose career in that sport similar to her venture in tennis.
 "I have been inquiring about reg ulations regarding amateur golf and have been given conflicting an swers," Miss Browne declared. Some say that my golf status is not affected by my contract as a pro- tessional tennis player, and others say it is. I'd hate to give up that game or be barred from future tour nament competition.
 Miss Browne found time in her fifteen years of court play, during which she three times was national champion, to gain high honors in women's golf competition. Although comparatively new conner to the game, she worked her way into the final round of the national cham pionship at Providence, R. l., in 1923 and was defeated by Mrs. Dor othy Campbell Hurd after coura- geous struggle. Mrs. Axela Stirling eliminated her at St. Louis last year and then went on to win her way into the finals.
