FRIENDLY ACTION TO
 DETERMINE INTENT
supericr Court Asked to Con strue Item of Mrs. Minnie
 Deans Will

4 case involving the construction of .ta will of Mrs. Minnie r. Dean of Wszfan. the outcome of which will af- fstt the town of Woodstock. was ar g#ad in the superior court at Nilli- ,54ntfe. Wednesday morning.
 The will of Mrs. Dean, among other .I4us,s. contained an item in which .ss directed her executors to erect a r4I Co be known as the Palmer Me r5.ria Hall in the town of Woodstock, and to give the same to the town. The .yarutors were to use their discretion
 acquiring site and were author .5ad 10 expend not to exceed S22 900 for Iard and building.
 Previous Co her death Mrs. Dean baueht the home property of F. F. Pnssell on Woodstock Hill. containing ab1ut ten acres of land with a house and barn on the south side During her lifetime she caused the memorial han to be built but did not deed 1t to the town. She deeded the house, barn and house lot to a niece, leaving frontage for the memorial site of shnut 50 feet on the highway On the remaining five or six acres of the land she caused to be set out rare trees and sAE EuHhtIs'
 Friendly Action
 Tn, action is a friendly one for the r4ruose of construction. The issue involved is us to whether this whole tfact was considered by Mrs Dean to i tho site of the memorial hall. or. as e8Hteuded by the trustees, the site Is merely the land on which the Palmer fr-s.,.taI Hall stands
 The town of Woodstock and the ex- g.4tors of the will claim that the fact tHat Mrs. Dean laid out the grounds and planted trees and shrubbery eyi- aeaces her intention to include this 4Hd iH the site, and further point to ths fact that cesspool connected with the hall is 200 feet in the rear Is more evidence of her intention to include this land. A right of way involved is another point claimed in favor of the town and trustees.
 After all devises and bequests under the will are satisfied the residue Is left to certain trustees to be used for the purpose of establishing children s home, or some similar charitable pur- pose. in another state.
 Decision was reserved by the court.

LEGAL DIFFICULTIES
HAVE ENRAGED JACK

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., September
20 @.-Jack Dempsey is finished with
hard training. From now until Thurs
day night only process servers can
make him depart from his straight
and-narrow path of light labor.
He is down to 1888 pounds. strik-
ing distance from his best fighting
weight and only enough work to keep
him fit to fight will be on the program
during the next two days. Tomorrow
he will work in private. The gates
closed even to correspondents.
Litigation has changed Dempsey
from a care-frec. happy-go-lucky in.
dividual to one who is fighting mad.
Experts think the suits by Jack
kearns. will do the champion more
good than all the training he could
have arranged at this critical period.
These observers are of the opinion
that figuratively he will see Gene
Tunney. Harry Wills, kearns. Paddy
Mullins, B. c. Clements and James A.
Farley all in front of him on next
Thursday night.
Gene Normile, manager of the
champion, said today it was unlikely
that Dempsey would appear in court
in person. Instead a battery of legal
talent will represent him in proceed
ings tomorrow.
Dempsey yesterday confined himself
to IS minutes of actual work, doing
no boxing. He pounded the bag.
mumbling to himself and grunting
every time he sank punch.
Tommy Gibbons, one Of the experts
to watch the champion, said he ap-
peared to be taking his work more
seriously than Tunney.
Gibbons had just returned from OBJ
serving the challenger at Stroudsburg.
lie thinks Tunney's best chance to
stick the 10 rounds is to adopt de-
fensive battle.
Dempsey looks good. no matter if
others think he has slowed up since
his battle with Firpo," Gibbons said.
The champion probably will not in
wade Philadelphia until just in time to
weigh in at 2 o'clock Thursday after
noon.
Dempsey will be guarded on the trip
by four detectives.

Famous Battles
for
Heavyweight Title

No. II.
By the Associated Press.
Only Shelby was knocked out when
Jack Dempsey and Tom Gibbons
fought in the little Montana boom
town July q, 1928. Shelby was sent
down for the full count financially
The show failed to pay expenses and
before it was over developed one of
the most exciting exhibitions of
frenEied finance on record.
Dempsey won on points and got all
the money there was, which was not
enough to complete the contracted
payments of $4,000.
The bout was in jeopardy almost
until fight time. The question was
what the promoter should use for
money to pay Dempsey, through
Manager kearns. The dance was on
finally when Kearns agreed to take q
chance on the gate bringing in the
missing dollars. 1t didn't.
kearns appointed himself minister
of finance and the Shelby story was
returned to the sports page after it
had been for several days in the
financial section of the newspapers.
The program cost approximately
100000 more to put on than was
realized. There were 1902 paid adj
missions
The Blackfeet Indians who fur
nished the wild West scenery were

they were necessary.
In my earliest fighting years l had

first round. just what to do in the
second. I felt hts advice was wrong,
but l accepted it, anyway. And as a
result, when L walked out and tried
| to do what he said l should do. the
other fellow nailed me with a punch
and nearly knocked me loose from
my brains. Ever since then | have
made it a rule that I fight my own

given orders that l was not to be
talked to between rounds insofar as

doesn't take me very long to find out
| from the way | am hitting, or the
power that the other fellow has i'm
his punches as to what's what in
that particular line. Nor does it take
me long to figure out his weakness
and his strength. Why then should
permit a second, who isn't out
there fighting at all. to tell me what
l should or should not do.
| ] know, from the feel of the punch

the other fellow or not. A second
does not have to tell me that And
when the other fellow smacks me |
know whether the punch hurts, or
does not hurt. Why then should |
listen to a second, who. if he is right
merely backs up my own knowledge
and who, If he is wrong, merely con-
| fuses me with his orders?
| A second may map out what
should do, and l may agree with him
but what he may figure out in ad
vance may not happen at ALL If ]

Of orders and fight the fight as ]
/ figure it should be fought, as the tide
of that battle shifts. then my mind
always is ready to take advantage of

into 1t with any fixed notions.
No two fights ever are alike. No
two rounds ever are alike, so why
should l go into any round or any
fight with definite idea of just what
am going to do? If I should, /
would get my whole system attuned
to doing one thing, and If the other
fellow pulled a double-cross on me,
or If things happened that were not
foreseen I'd he in bad fix.

HAGEN, LIKE JONES,
HAS THREE BARRIER
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press
GARDEN CITY, n. Y, September
2O.-Walter Hagen, trying this week
at the Salisbury Country Club for MS
third successive national professional
golf championship, is confronted with
the unlucky figure of golf, just
as Bobby Jones was at Baltusrol.
George Won Elm, corn haired youth
from Los Angeles. making his tnlrd
assault on the national amateur title
after two failures, crushed the AL.
lanta master in the final match, and
one of Hagen's foremost rivals Is long
Jim Barnes. who seeks the title Tor
the third time, with two victories
already to his credit.
Hagen has ga rivals for the cham-
pionship, although such illustr1ous
golfers as Macdonald Smith. Willie
NacFarlane and Jock Hutchinson. win
ner of the open in 1920, are not en-
tered.
Among the favorites are Gene
Sarazen, Leo Diegel and Joe Turnesa.
After 36-hole medal play today the
hest 80 scorers will start 36-hole
match play. The final round will be
Saturday.

JONES HAS CHANGED
IN GOLF DEMEANOR

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 20.-Bobby
Jones, once the hot-headed boy of the
links, has learned to take defeat in
manner that stamps him as one of
the calmest sportsmen of amateur
athletics.
in days gone by a bad shot often
caused him to hurl clubs in disgust.
II have learned how to get used
to those things" he said, regarding
his defeat Saturday.
Bobby is visiting New York for a
few days before attending the Demp-
sey-Tunney battle. He plans to watch
the P. G. A. golf matches at Garden
City and after the fight will return
to Atlanta to go to law school. He
probably will not defend the British
open championship next year.
George Won Elm, who on Saturday
won the national amateur title, also
plans to attend the fight.
He. too, is visiting New York.
Bobby says he never saw George
play so well as he did Saturday.
II just didn't have it in me to beat
the kind Of golf George was playing. 4"

STROUDSBURG, Pa, September 20.
The threescore members of the
Glenbrook Country Club are regarded
with envy by their fellow citizens of
Stroudsburg. They can catch f1eeting
glimpses of Gene Tunney as he COM
pletes his training. Non-members are

public appearance yesterday, when he
put on a show for an enthusiastic

the course, he accepted a challenge
from Trainer Lou Fink for a few
holes of golf.
The golf germ is making its pres

the sparring partners have had try
at it.
Tunney will return to Stroudsburg

LEONARD SAYS JACK
IS IN GREAT SHAPE
BY BENNY LEONARD.
indicated LiGhtweight Champion of the


World
ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., September
20.-Jack Dempsey had a snappy
workout yesterday afternoon and I
could see that he has reached the
turning point, for which l have been
waiting. He punched the light bag,
shadowboxed and went at the big bag
for two rounds each. after which Gus
Wilson called a halt.
How are you. champ" l asked.
Great. Benny" he replied. How
do l look to your
You look wonderful, Jack" I an
swered, and he did.
Here is a striking example Of what
kind of a chap Dempsey is. / asked
if he was worried about those injunc.
lions and bondings, and he laughed.
Let the other fellows do the
Worrying" he said.
I'm going to fight. That's our
racket, eh, Benny"
/ noticed that Dempsey used a left
hook In his work on the bags. He
also used it while boxing with me the
other day. Some of you folks who
have seen me in the ring will agree
that / can get away from any punch
as we'll as the next one, but cOuldn't
avoid that one. I'll say without res
ervation that it is a killer"
Looking at Dempsey. 1 realized the
only reason 1 had got off as we'll as
did was because. I'm a little fellow
and ducked low. But Tunney stands
up straght-a perfect target for this
punch. The only way he can avoid II
is by blocking and moving his head
back very fast.
Tunney is trying hard to perfect
that right uppercut. He had 1t down
pretty we'll when he boxed with me
but not so he could spring it on the
spur of the moment. Tunney's right
to the heart is also a good punch.
While it wasn't used very success
fully against me, it may be good on
Dempsey. He used it on Jimmy De-
lany with great effect. Gene looked
better then than 1 have seen him in
a long time.
