DEMPSEY REFUSES
 RICHARDS OFFER
Former Champ Says 15 Per Cent
 Is Ridiculous Demand

Los Angeles. June 1T R-Jack Dempsey turned eastward today confident that he would be able to carry out his comeback plans de- spite his disapproval of . proposal by Tex Rickard that he accept only IS per cent of the gate receipts should he earn the right to meet Gene Tunney in an effort to regain the heavyweight championship.
 The former heavyweight cham pion declared that while he expect ed to be able to come to terms with the New York promoter. he was willing If necessary to stage pro- posed fight with Jack Sharkey of Boston under the direction of a promoter other than Rickard. He said that if he defeated Sharkey he would also be willing to sign with some other promoter for a battle with Tunney.
 Rickard proposed Dempsey meet Sharkey July 21 while the Tunney bout was tentatively set for Septem- Der.
 Dempsey characterized the IS per cent proposal as "a ridiculous demand" and he said, may result in any one of three other promo ters staging the Sharkey fight.
 "Sharkey has not signed to fight for Rickard." the former champion said, "and I have three bona fide offers that would mean just as much money for me. and more for Sharkey. While I would like to fight for Tex. he will have to change his financial plans for my fight with Tunney.
 When the time comes that l am not worth more than Is per cen, as a drawing card to fight anyone that Is the exact time I am going to hang up my gloves for good and all.
 'Tunney is entitled to the major slice of the gate when he fights again no matter who he meets, " Dempsey said. If I am in the oppo- site corner of the ring a lot of those fans at the fight are going to be my friends and probably still more will have paid admission to see me get my head knocked off. l have my ideas about the fight, fi- nancial and otherwise, and because Rickard has tied himself up on a stiff contract with Tunney is no reason l should pay the freight"
 Dempsey planned to depart today for New York. He said Rickard would be the first man he would see upon his arrival there. He will have four days in which to get strengthened out" Dempsey de- clared. If he wants me to fight Sharkey, then Tunney. we can get things settled in a hurry. If he doesn't want to stage the Sharkey fight will probably meet Jack in Q Philadelphia ring, anyhow, next month."
 Dempsey's actress wife. Estelle Taylor, and Jerry Luvadis. trainer. were to accompany him east. Sev- eral friends. making the trip east in the hope of seeing Dempsey suc- cessfully negotiate the first hurdle on his comeback" trail. also were to make the trip. Gus Wilson. the major domo of Dempsey's training camp, left Wednesday for New York to have the Saratoga Springs camp in readiness for the former champions arrival.

 Corbins VI. landers
 "Huggie" Carlson Of the Corbin team and Frank Nester of the Uni- versals staged a pretty pitching duel which Corbins won by the narrow margin of to on Diamond No. at Walnut Hill park last evening. One of the largest crowds of the sea- son was on hand to witness the struggle.
 It was the hitting or the league leaders that finally told the story of the game. Nester allowed only six hits but these were punched 10 score the necessary runs. Carlson although in several tight places, held the Universals safe with five scat tered hits. With runners on the third sack, Carlson used a change of pace to good advantage. Durazio was the only man on the Landers team to get two hits off his delivery.
 Both teams were in rare form for the game and although the Corbin team wobbled at times in the field. the strings were frightened when runs threatened. Bates, coach of the Corbin outfit was the leader in his teams sixth straight victory. He slammed out a home run and drove in the first counter in the opening inning.
 The game was a tight pull for both teams until the eighth frame when the Corbin team tucked it away. A last inning rally by Lan- ders gave them a run but fell short of tying the score. Corbins had their big moments in the first and last innings. Matteo started with a sim gle at the opening of the game. The rext two famed and Wright was passed. Bates lined out a single and Matteo scored. Landers tied the count in the third when Durazio singled, was sacrificed to second and scored on two infield errors.
 Bates hit the first ball pitched in the fourth for a circuit drive. Du- razio again came through with hit for Landers in the fifth. Jasper couldn't handle his drive and the runner went to second. Nester's long single to left scored him.
 No further scoring was done un- til the eighth. Bates got a life when Goeb dropped his fly. He was forced at second by Huber. Jasper was hit by a pitched ball. Anastasio sent a slashing drive between first and second and Huber scored. Jasper going to third. Carlson sent out a sacrifice fly to score Jasper. Fitz- patrick singled for Landers in the ninth but was forced at second by Charlow. Durazio then connected for long triple along the third base line scoring Charlow but he died there when Nester grounded out.

ROME, October 11.-Pope Plus, in
his ALLEGATION delivered at the con
sistory last May, announced his in
tention to address an encyclical to
the episcopal world dealing with the
problem of nationallsm. He wished
however, first to close the episode
of L'Act.on Franchise, the French
royaIist newspaper, now banned by
the Pope. which is part of it.
Recently a report has been pub
lished by various newspapers in
Rome That this encyclical will be is
sued on October 28--"celebration OF
Christ the King"-when the Pontifi
will consecrate at st. Peters the first
native Japanese bishop. This state
ment is incorrect because the festiv.
ity of Christ the King Is October
80. while October % is the ami
versary of the episcopal conservation
of the Pope.
In any case. authoritative Vatican
circlues believe that the encyclicalwill
be published neither on October Is
nor October 80, but later, as it is
not considered likely that in the in.
terval from now to then the question
of L'Action Franchise will be def
nitely settled There was an intima,
ton in the last papal allocution OF
possible accommodation of the ex'
treme wing followers of L'Action
Franchise IL they did not submit to
the discipline of the church.

day and Ia others were wounded while
the body of Charlie Pinkston, craZed
negro, who late yesterday ran amuck
TO terrorize the negro section, was in
the bnorgue. literally perforated with
bullets from the guns of more than
100 police officers.
Apparently losing his mind when
George Kirkhoff. a city sanitation Of
ficer. attempted to inspect his ice
cream stand. Pinkston slashed the in
spector's throat and fled to nearby
house, where he barricaded himseiI
and took his stand at window with
a shotgun.
Machine Guns Used.
Deputy Sheriff Sam Williams, arriv-
ing a few minutes later to arrest the
negro. was met by a shotgun charge
which took effect in his abdomen. A
riot call brought more than DO ponce
men, who endeavored to dislodge the
negro with a ] rage from machine
guns, pistols and rifles,
Failing in this, an armored ponce
car was driven alongside the negro's
stronghold and five tear bombs tossed
within.
Meanwhile, eight policemen dropped
under the fire of the negro. In addi-
ton, six persons in a crowd that clog
ged streets about the house were
wounded by stray shots.
Williams was taken to hospital,
where physicians hold slight hope for
his recovery.
With the arrival of additional off,
GERS, several policemen mounted to the
roof of an adjacent house, where
through a window they could see
Pinkston staggering about within,
apparently almost overcome by the
fog of tear gas.
Trample on Body.
Plain Clothes officer Woody Sandefer
opened fire on the negro, who stag
gered out of range. At the same in
slant, a squad of detectives and po-
lice rushed the room, and Pinkston
fell under a volley of bullets that per-
forated his arms. head, shoulders and
chest.
A riot was narrowly averted as on
GERS were removing the negro's body
from the house. Several hundred mem
bers of the mob trampled on Pink
ston's body. They were driven on,
however. and the body was taken to
police headquarters under heavy
guard. 1t was later transferred to a
negro mortuary.

there were a large increase in sum-
mer fallow which helped a great
deal in late spring in having big
acreage ready for crops.
There is an increase in number of

power is cheaper than horse power,
in saving of labor, and one man can
cover more ground.

Indications are that there will be
more combines this year. Last year
there were seven in operation in the
County. At least three more have
already come in this spring. There
seems to be no question that harvest

RAMSAY MCDONALD had the
greatest opportunity in the world to
make name that would go ringing
down through the ages. AS Premier
of the greatest capitalist country in
the world he had power to bring
about great changes in the interest
of the people who put him in power.
He was at the head of the Keystone
of the arch of capitalism. But he
turned out to be flunkey. He wore
knee breeches and crawled on his
belly before King George. He show
ed he was an inferior, third-rate
tuft-hunter and likspittle, incapable
of leading any body of workers. He
