ting them in the territorial contests.
The ingenuity of the American
boy was never more graphically
demonstrated than in this contest
Models were made of all sorts of
materials, some even being carved
from soap or moulded from plaster
of paris. Many of the models were
so near like The Dictator Sedan
that they resembled the work or
master model makers instead OF
the handiwork of boys. So complete

Jack Dempsey will be the magnet
in the next real big heavyweight
battle Tex Richard stages.
This can be accepted as a fact.
Richards statements since the
recent battle of the long count
coupled with remarks he made to
me before the fight indicate clear
ly the trend in his mind. Richard
had the recently checked come
back campaign of Dempsey mapped
out a year in advance. He has the
next bout in mind right now.
Richard. discussing Dempsey
and Tunney before the recent
Chicago battle, was duly apprecia-
tive of Tunney's value as champ
ion, but he went further in dis
cussing Dempsey.
Jack Dempsey is the most
popular fighter the game has ever
known or ever will know" said
Richard. He has the punch. He
has the personality. He has the
fighting instinct that the public
likes. 1t wasn't the champion the
fans crowded around when Jack
was king. 1t was Dempsey, the man
who had beaten Willard down and
had given they what they wanted,
a fighting tiger of a champion.
Dempsey has done nothing but
made friends since then. He has
been more popular as an ex-champ-
ion than as champion. I can't ex-
plain it. He's a public institution
right now.
1T doesn't matter whom you put
in the ring against him. The public
wants to see Jack in action"
The greeting given Dempsey
when he entered the ring and the
cries of "your still champion" after
the fight verify Richards state
ments.
Now, since the Tunney fight,
Tex has made the prophetic state
ment that as long as Dempsey can
fight the way he does he will
make a good opponent for any
man."
Both Jack Sharkey and Paolino
Uzcundun. the Spaniard, were intro
duced from the ring at Chicago

CAPE MAY MEETS
LOCAL HI ELEVEN
Pleasantville Looks To Hare
Game at Cape May; Will
Be Second Game

With the scalp of Clayton High
school handing from their belt, the
Pleasantyille High school grid
players will journey tomorrow
afternoon to Cape May for the
second game of the season. Cape
May has strong team, with a
large number of veterans in the
lineup, and the game should be a
tough one.
The fact that the Pleasantville
team showed midseason form Satur-
day in their first game shows that
they are due to do even better than
last year, when they went through
more than half the season without a
defeat. Coach Hedelt has been
letting the boys take it easy during
the first part of this week, but it is
Expected that by now he has ironed
out some of the rough spots which
very naturally cropped up last week
1t is said that the teams kicking
ability has improved, and this
should mean much. There will be
teams later in the season against
whom line attacks will be of no
avail, and there will be times
when kicking ability will mean
whether game is won or lost.

Always a heavy hitter, Harris Is
especially dangerous in a pinch.

never seems to bother him. The ap-

City, Mich, in 1913 and was inter-
rupted almost disastrously during
the World war. After playing two
seasons with Bay City, he went to
Chattanooga. where he was pur-
chased by Cleveland before the
1917 season. He spent 1913 in the
service and was thrown from a
truck in the Argonne during heavy
shell fire and suffered, among
other things, a deep cash which ex-
tended from his left eye diagonaliy
across his cheek. 1t was thought

Harris fooled everyone and 1913
found him back with the Cleveland
club.

Willis Clark, whose fame as a
Syracuse varsity man and All-Amer-
lean halfback, needs no exposition,
will be in the backfield for the To-
Gals tomorrow. Accompanying him
will be Peterson, a talented yete-
ran of last years team; Holdings
and Roser. Ris1ey, Clark and
Grimm will also be seen in the
backfield during the game.
The men who will play in the
line at some time or another dur
ing the game are all veterans, eth
er of the Pleasantville A. G. eleven
or of other teams from this part of
the State. They include George
Albrecht, Bernie Albrecht, Chan
nels, Mueller, Craig, FORFEIT, Han
lon, Baumgartel, Dix.
Under the direction of Jess Craig
the men have had a number of
workouts during the past week, and
they look to be in good shape. A
complete system of line plays has
already been worked out, and the
boys seem to be able to react in
stinctiyely to the quarterback s
signals. With the usual first prac-
lice soreness worked out of their
limbs, they should present ON the
field tomorrow one of the most dan
gerous aggregations that ever play
ed on the local field
Little is known of the Cardiff
eleven other than that they are
supposed to know their stuff. Sew
eral stars have been added to their
lineup. it is said, for the express
purpose of whipping the locals.
Furthermore, they have new uni
forms, which gives them certain
advantage of poise.
Manager Steelman expects a
large crowd out tomorrow for the
season opener. The high school
team is playing out of town and a
large surplus of fans will be left in
this city to enjoy what has all the
indications of being football treat.

 I do not count myself timorous woman, but as 1 listened to the sound of Mrs. Bakers limping foot my door, I felt an insane impulse to leap to that door and bolt it against her. It was as if some loathesome, dangerous beast were padding toward me. All the inex. plicable repugnance to the fourtf floor lodger, the dread of her which I had felt ever since my first sight of her. swept over me and left me trembling, almost craven.
 Fortunately for my self-respect, the wave of emotion lasted but a few seconds. From somewhere, I pumped up courage to control my nerves and my voice, and to drive my tagging feet to the door. AS l threw 1t open, the women stared at me through her thick lensed glasses before she spoke in the guttural accents which always had so jared upon my ears.

 Milk is said to be perfect food. By this is meant that 1t contains all the essential clements. which if taken in sufficiently large amounts, allow normal growth and symmet- rical development.
 Health and even the mainte- nance of life itself may depend on the presence of certain indispens- able constituents of diet.
 The adequacy of 8 food or of diet depends on It's containing:
 1. Enough of the right sort Of material to build up and repair the tissues of the body. The chief body building substance is called protein. Milk, cheese, meat, fish and eggs fur nish the most valuable forms of pro- tein.
 2. A variety of mineral substanc- es which are needed in the growth. maintenance and functioning of the parts of the body. such as the skele- ton, lungs. brain. thyroid gland and muscles, and the blood and other body fluids.
 8. An adequate amount of cer- tain substances whose nature is not fully known but whose presence In the diet has been demonstrated to be necessary for health and growth in the lower animals and in man. These substances, known as vitamins or accessory diet factors, are indis- pensable elements in food, although sometimes they are present only in minute amounts.
 4. Enough material to furnish the energy required by the body. Fat starch and sugar are the chief energy foods, and these are trans formed in the body into energy for it's activities and into body heat. A large part of the protein in food is used, even during the growth period, for energy processes.
 5. Only substances that are not poisonous to the average individual and that will allow normal digestive processes.
 In addition, to be properly digest ed and of the utmost nutritive value food should be of pleasing taste and of a consistency and appearance sim liar to other foods in customary use.
 Clean milk fulfills all these re- quirements better than any other single article of food.
