THAT FROG STORY.

Supreme chancellor Green's frog
story is the talk Of the town. He
compared it to the condition of the
Grand Lodge. He said boy was
told by his father to work out q
problem. A frog was in we'll He
jumped up three feet in the daytime
and len back four feet at night, now
long would it take the frog 10 get
out OF the we'll? He gave his son a
slate and a pencil and left him to
solve the problem.
BOTH SIDES FILLED.
Some time afterwards he returned,
His son had filed both sides OF the
slate with figures. His father asked
him II he had found the answer. He
replied, IF you viii. get me another
slate, pa, think can have that frog
in hell in about two hours"
Supreme Chancellor Green is re-
ported, to have urged the infusion OF
new young blood in the Order and
to have warned against the $500
policies which are now coming due
He authorized $a 90 rate for new
members and this met hearty an.
proval. 1t represented a decrease
in the joining fee. 1t was evident
that this must be made up by addi-
tional taxation.

for the title" he said.

New Jersey does not permit bouts
save upon mo decision basis. This
means that unless one of the con-
testants actually knocks out the
other. then the contest cannot be de-
cided In favor Of either one of them.
Tex Richard is in favor Of staging
the fight OF Dempsey with Gene Tun-
ney in Chicago. but he would be
willing to sell out his rights to Chi
cago promoters He evidently real
ICES that such a contest would not
draw record crowd. The sporting
and business elements are ION edge"

heavily for the privilege, So there

other creditors have been greatly
benefited and have shared and par

said, by declaring that the Grand
Lodge could not continue on its
course. 1t must either reduce ex-
penses or increase taxes. Five thous-
and dollars were due the Supreme
Lodge on a request made to aid in
the erection of a million dollar
Pythian Temple in Chicago. This was
slightly more than the Order had in
cash in its treasury when outstand-
ing expenses were considered, but
the money was to come out of the
pockets of members of the Order and
accordingly would not affect the
treasury balance.

THE PUGILISTIC
OUTLOOK.

The outlook at the present time Is
that Jack Dempsey and his friends
will not risk chances in the ring with
boxer of the Harry Wills type.
When pressed for his reasons for
not favoring championship match
between these two heavyweights.
Commissioner Muldoon, of the New
York Boxing Commission is quoted
as saying:
at is unfair to draw 150, 900 peo-
pie to any show and, then find out
the principals are not what they are
supposed to be Dempsey today
weighs 1SS pounds and Is a nervous
wreck. so why force him into ring
with q man twenty or twenty-five
pounds heavier and an acknowledged
skillful boxer. Why can't we have
other boxing matches than the one
between Dempsey and Wills. Are
they trying to encourage boxing here
or are they trying to eliminate il Z.
We have a~great state here without
having Dempsey and Wills fight and
boxing is furnishing I see no reas-
on for disturbing things. There is a
reason for this insistence on Demp-
sey-Wills fight, however, and when
that reason is discovered everything
will he explained"
do you care to mention sDecih-
cally any reason which would exDlain
the matter?" Commissioner MuIdoon
was asked.
II would tell You In minute IL 7
knew the reason" he replied "That
Is what we must find out"
Chairman Farlev professed ignor-
ance OF any significance In Commits
sioner Muldoon's statement.
THE only reason know Of for the
action of the board Ia that we regard
Wills as the outstanding challenger
