 Wlseman said he had been coach- cd to tell newspapermen Of having driven his mother to and from Car mel ocean resort during the time Kenneth G. Ormiston and mysteri ous woman companion occupied a cottage there. The youths testimony. Reyes assistants said, completed the chain of evidence in the Carmel angle of the case. Witness in a pre- vious investigation testified that a. woman resembling Mrs. McPherson occupied a Carmel cottage for ten days shortly after the evangelist dis appeared last May
 Reyes also announced he probably will call several Douglas. Ariz., po- lice officers and a nurse who treated Mrs. McPherson at a Douglas hos pital when she reappeared there claiming to have escaped after be- ing held captive for five weeks. part of the time in an Arizona desert shack.
 Decision to call the Arizona wit nesses extends the investigation to include virtually all those summoned in the second inquiry in which a grand jury declined to return in dictments.

FOOTBALL SEASON
 ID OPEN SATURDAY
High School to Meet Suffield
 Prep in Practice Game

The New Britain High school foot ball team will open up the 1925 sea- son against the Suffield team in that town Saturday afternoon. The con- test is being called practice game because neither squad Is fully de- veloped as vet and, in the opinion of the coaches, able to go through a real competitive game.
 The local team is shaping up strongly and Coach George M. Cas- sidy as been putting the players and candidates through stiff practice sessions. Zaleski who was one of the stars of the basketball team last season, has worked himself into a regular berth in the backfeld be- cause of his aggressive work in prac- tice and scrimmages. He is full of dash and fire and Coach Cassidy ex- poets much of him during the sea- son.
 The line is about picked and will find Bruce at tackle this year instead of at guard, it is said. McGrath will be at center while Coach Cas- sidy has not yet selected all the other positions. Turkey Claire is placed at halfback this year instead Of at quarterback and combined with Zaleski, this pair should breeze through the season in a blaze of glory.
 The schedule for the year has been made up and New Britain will have a hard year. For this reason, Coach Cassidy has kept a large squad of players and candidates on hand and will form several teams. In this manner he will have all the substitutes that he wants besides having material with which to work in the years to come.
 The Suffield team, according to word coming from the school there. shows promise of being a powerful eleven this year. Coach Cassidy, despite the fact that the game has been agreed upon as a practice ses- sion, feels confident that his charges will score their first victory. With a win In the first game, nothing should stop the locals from going through' the session a scrappy out fit and one that will make all high school teams step.

Notre Dame once again galloping over the gridiron shortly after the American Football league opens a week from Sunday. It was at first thought that Miller, Crowley and Layden would not be able to play with their former mate. Harry Stuhldreher. who is captain of the Brooklyn team. until later In the season. This was due to their col legiate coaching activities that pre- vented their appearance on a pro- fessional team until after the close of the college season.
 But there is a possibility that the three absentees will be able to make arrangements at the respec- tive colleges which will enable them to join the Brooklyn club in time to play all games following the opening contest against Joe Sternman's Chicago Bulls.
 Meanwhile Coach Ed McNeeley is building a backfeld around Cap tam Stuhldreher which he expects will run the Bulls ragged. Me Neeley has wealth of backfeld strength in Earl Britton alone. Britton was back1eld in himself when he supported the Red Grange attack on the famous Illinois team that buried Pennsylvania at Franklin field last year.
 Incidentally McNeeley will have two sets Of backs equal in power to the Four Horsemen which should assure him of getting off to a flying start in the race for the first American league champion ship.
 With practice being suspended for today McNeeley will start the scarlet and black squad on inten- sive work tomorrow. There will be no letup in the training until day before the opening game at Commercial field, Albany and East New York avenues, against Stern- mann's Bulls.

FAMOUS BATTLES

Only Shelby was knocked out when Jack Dempsey and Tom Gib- bons fought in the little Montana boom town, July 4, 1923. Shelby was sent down for the full count finan- cially. The show failed to pay eX- penses and before it was over de- veloped one of the most exciting eX- hibitions of frenzied finance on record.
 Dempsey won on points and got al the money there was, which was not enough to complete the con- tracted payments of S310,000.
 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 a chance on the gate bringing in the missing dollars. It 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 S100,000 more to put on than was realized. There was 7,202 paid ad- missions.
 The Blackfect Indians who furn- ished the Wild West scenery were paid.
 The last battle for the heavy weight title, between Jack Dempsey and Luis Firpo at the Polo Grounds on September 14, 1923, was one of the shortest and most spectacular on record.
 It lasted for less than five min utes of actual fighting and during at least half that time, one or the other of the gladiators was down for a count. Dempsey won by a knockout in the second round after flooring Firpo ten times altogether.
 Although he battered the Wild Bull' of the Pampas all over the ring In the first round, Dempsey came within two seconds of losing his title. Firpo caught him on the jaw with right handler up against the ropes and the champion toppled out of the ring into the laps of news papermen. He was showed back barely in time to escape hearing ten" counted. His tumble ruined one typewriter and a telegraph in strument
