The Mississippi team beat Bristol
by getting under way with a rush.
They scored seventeen points in the
first quarter and Bristol was so
thoroughly occupied in the defense
OF its own goal that the players
amassed only two points. These
We're made in the first few minutes
before the Florence avalanche had

made by Comertord. Zetarski and
Riordan with tallies of their own.
Bristol fought to the last minute

in its own territory and stalling TO

DEMPSEY SURE He
CAN BEAT TUNNEY
Former Champion 10 Determine
il lie Can Make Comeback

Los Angeles, April up - Jack
Dempsey's confidence in his ability to
regain the heavyweight crown from
Gene Tunney is increasing daily in
more than direct proportion to his
loss of weight at his come back"
camp at Wheeler's Hot Springs,
north of here.
The former champion stopped his
woodsman's act long enough yester-
day to tell visitors that he will be
able to trim Tunney or any other
heavyweight by July 4.
During the last ten days Dempsey
has been tackling every hard job in
sight. telling trees, chopping fire
wood, digging bitches, working on
firebreaks and taking long gruelling
hikes over mountain trails. The pace
has taken in his waist line and sliced
several pounds from his husky
frame.
Dempsey entered the camp with
the announcement that he was go
ing to determine whether he can
work himself into condition for an
attempt to regain his title. The grind
seems to have worked wonders for
so short time and visitors to the
camp We're impressed with the pos
sibility of success for the former
champ.
You can tell the world that for
the first time in my life ] actually
like training" Dempsey said. THE
stiff grind of n cramped city gym
nasiUm never can compare with the
outdoors
Gus Wilson, his trainer, routs Jack
out at o'clock each morning, gives
him six mile run to an adjoining
camp and n breakfast at which
Dempsey "eats everything and then
orders more" After breakfast he
works at whatever hard task is Of
fered.
Dempsey promised to remain in
his mountain camp at least a month
longer, then month in a Cymnas-
ium with sparring partners and a
finishing month of real fighting
grind.
Naturally 7 would like to fight
Tunney first" he said, but if Rick
ard wants me to topple over one
challenger on the way up. I'll be
ready and willing"

TOO BUSY

Governor George Parks was so busy playing cards that he could not or would not or did not attend the closing hours of the last legisla- ture. About thirty bills were sign ed by him AFTER adjournment one as late as May 18th. There is grave doubt now about the legality of these laws.
 But our genial and popular gov ernOr was not too busy to open the ball season at Juneau. However the contest was not fair-a game of cards versus duties as governor; and perhaps the laws of the game more attractive than the laws of Alaska.
