HTCAGO. September 17.-The
4 possibility that Walter Ecker
sail, Chicago newspaper man.
~ former allAmerican foot ball
star and nationally known
cridiron official. will referee the
DempseyTunney heavyweight cham
pionship fight developed today out OF
an atmosphere of hectic preparation
for the Battle of the Three Millions"
While no official authority was given
to the suggestion that Eckersall be
the third man in the ring next Thurs
day night at Soldier Field. it was
learned definitely that his name is
under consideration. 1t came as
surprise to most of the experts, who
accepted the view that "ECkie," if
chosen, would be a compromise candi-
date
Eckersall is eligible for the role. but
his connection with professional box
ing. officially. has been chiefly as
timekeeper rather than ring arbiter
However. he also has had considerable
experience as n referee. His selection,
it is UNDERSTOOD, would be satisfactory
to both the Dempsey and Tunney
camps.
In some quarters. it was suggested
that ECkersall probably would he
compromise choice to avert the diff
culties or jeaIousies that might be in
VOWED in picking a referee from the
regular ranks.
Experts Are Divided.
With the championship battle for 10
rounds--or less-Only five days off,
opinion of the assembled army of eX-
perts in Chicago appears more sharply
divided than has ever been the case
before a heavyweight title match. In
this the critics, a record breaking
array, undoubtedly reflect the popular
diversity of opinion throughout the
country.
1t has been the usual thing to make
the champion a heavy favorite, largely
because he rules that realm. Dempsey
was a 3-to-1 faVorite over Tunney at
Philadelphia d year ago, just as he
was a pronounced favorite over all
his other opponents after dethroning
Jess Willard in 1919.
Tunney, too, is the favorite, but not
by as convincing a margin as most
title holders have been. In spite of
his youth. his superior boxing ability
and the fact that he out-pOinted
Dempsey by a wide margin last Sep
TENDER. Tunney is being backed gen.
orally at odds that appear no higher
than to ). Some profess to see a
downward trend, due to reaction in
Dempsey's favor, and mention odds
of only 6 to 5. but this merely is a
sample of the variance of opinion.
Tunney, on form, is generally picked

Texas shows its contempt for the
Supreme Court of the United States
by seeking to nullify the decision that
destroyed the white primary law
thereby giving to black people the
power to vote in the Democratic pri-
maries. The Texas Legislature now
has the brazen audacity, the unbri-
died effrontery to pass another bill
directed at black people, declaring
in this new bill that "a political
party has the right to determine the
qualifications of those who vote in
that party" This is typical of the
southern spirit-the spirit that pro-
duced the traitor jefferson Davis and
the rebels who sought to overthrow
the government. This clearly exen1-
plifies the unwillingness of the South
to be bound by the Constitution. The
Supreme Court no doubt will be
called to test the constitutionality Of
the new law and inasmuch as its fra.
mers advertised the fact that would
find a way to disfranchise the black
citizens, we feel that this law also
will be found invalid. The true spirit
of the South is here clearly disclosed
and its lack of respect for constituted
authority is revealed in unequivocal
fashion.

When with the dew the grass is

To see them lark about their yard
But if I venture over there,
The moment that my step they

They fix me with a naughty stare
And instantly they disappear.
