Canzoneri in Madison S1uare Garden
next Friday night. Belanger, Can
adian youngster suffered the same
punishment for failure TO answer a
summons to appear before the COM
mission.
Drastic action against Bass and lis
manager followed the commissions

York negro, in Atlantic City next
Monday night The PniIadelphian
had his match with Canzoneri, rec0g-
11ized in New York as the feather
weight king, postponed until Feb. 10
because of illness. The commission
decided that any sickness, discovered
a week ago, that permitted Bass
to fight Monday night but prevented
his appearance here three days
earlier, called for summary treatment
In spite of this disciplinary action.
Bass will be given an opportunity
to fulfill his engagement with Can
zoneri in the Garden Feb. TO-
Belanger was called before the
board for questioning in regard to
the alleged fouling of Frisco Grande,
of San Francisco, in a bout at

CHICAGO MOVES
RICHARD FROM
BOUT IN SUMMER

CHICAGO, Jan. "A Chicago
cast its hat in tho ring of bidders
for next summers heavyweight
championship match today through
an invitation issued by the Illinois
state athletic commission, bearing the
endorsement of Gov. Small and city
officials of ChicagoN
The success of the Tunney- Dempsey
match at Soldier field last September,
which set a record for attendance
and gate receipts, led the boxing
commission to promise everything
possible to help bring about the sue
cessful promotion of another cnam4
pionship match for Chicago"
The statement of Chairman Paul
Prehn said the commission would
cooperate with any local promoter
suggesting that Tex Rickard is not
in the picture this time. The heavy
weight champion, Gene Tunney,
promised Chicago officials on visit
just before Christmas that he would
defend his title in Chicago this
summer if terms we're offered equal
tC other offers. Further negotiations
were held in allegiance, pending the
action scheduled by Feb. on the
contract Tunney holds with Tex
Rickard for title match next
summer.

new DEAL GIVEN
HEAV WEIGHT
PROGRAM

BOSTON, Jan. "a tP)-In deal
that shuffled an entirely new aspect
into Tex Richards heavyweight elin1i-
nation tournament Jack Sharkey of
Boston was signed here late today to
meet Johnny Risko of Cleveland at
Madison Square Garden on March IL,
the winner to meet Gene Tunney in
a title bout next summer
Johnny Buckley Sharkey's manager,
came to terms with Jess Mcmahon
Madison Square Garden matchmaker,
after deadlock of almost "a hours
on the matter of a Sharkey- -Risko
bout under any terms.
Mcmahon came to Boston yesterday
to sign Sharkey for the Risko bout
with the understanding that the win
ner would meet the victor of the i'm
pending jock Delaney-Tom Heeney
fight on March to determine Tun-
ney's first 1923 opponent. Buckley
flatly refused to consider either De-
1aney or Heeney as prospective op-
ponents and the conference broke up
about dawn today.
Mcmahon telegraphed Rickard at
Miami, Fla, for instructions and re-
ceived the reply that Tunney would
be willing to meet Sharkey on condi-
ton that the Boston ex-sailor decis-
lively whipped Risko in bout to run
nothing short of Is rounds. When
Tunneys views were conveyed to Buck
lev at a second conference today,
the Boston manager agreed to the
bout and the contract was signed.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Jan. "a Rl-
Tex Rickard tonight denied all
knowledge of an agreement as re-
ported in Boston dispatches whereby
Gene Tunney would be willing to
meet Jack Sharkey in a title bout
if the latter, first defeats Johnny
Risko decisively.
'I never sent such telegram" )"
he declared when he read the Boston
story quoting message purported
to have been sent by him today to
Jess Mcmahon, Madison Square
Garden matchmaker, in which he was
said to have declared that Tunney
had agreed to such. an arrangement.
"Jack Delaney. and Tom Heeney
still are in the runring, just as much
as they ever. were, with a bout
slated for about March IT, he said.
t"Sharkey, if he knows anything,
knows he has to beat somebody that
is good before he gets a chance at
Tunney or Dempsey, after his exl1i-
bitio1l with Heeney.'

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

October to 13 has been designat-
ed as Fire Prevention Week." and
will be so observed throughout the
nation. Schools and other organi-
nations, will have an active part in
the observance with programs set
ting forth the fire menace, due so
largely to carelessness.
The tragedy of fire is that it is al
most entirely preventable. There
are, of course, natural causes for
CONGREGATIONS that cannot be helped,
but these are very small percent
age of the total. The greatest dam
age is caused by carelessness and
ignorance. Billions of dollars are
wasted and destroyed each year by a
few peoples carelessness. 1t would
not be so reprehensible If the loss
were borne by them alone. But it
must be shared, directly or indirect
ly, by every citizen and taxpayer.
1t is the duty of every citizen to
cooperate in the observation OF Fire
Prevention Week. And it should be
his pleasure. Fire loss can be stop
ped. And in single week, il every
one will observe and learn, great
deal can be accomplished in the way
of reducing it.

Maryland License Plates Expected
To Be White On Dark Green
Thirty-nine States will change the
color combination for automobile IL
cense plates in 1929 and twenty
three different motifs will be used.
Maryland plates will be white on
dark green.
There is a decided trend toward
darker colors, it is revealed, and the
brunette" in license plates has gain
ed small lead over the blonde. ="
Although varied hues will be repre-
sented in the color schemes, nine
States and the District of Columbia
will retain last years color combina-
tions, reversing them as to back
ground and lettering.
No single color motif can be said
TO prevail, although six States and
the District of Columbia will use yell
low letters and numerals on a black
background.
This color scheme will therefore
predominant in 1929, taking rank
over the black on white motif, which
was used in five states in 1928.
Second honor will go to orange on
black combination, which will be
used in five States, as compared to
four last year. Four States will use
a combination of white on black and
the same number have adopted white
on green.
Betwixt and between will be found
the color schemes of sister States,
with Tulodian red on cream yellow,
black ON aluminium and variety OF
other hues represented in the iden-

EVANGELIST j. MOSES BAKER
AND WIFE CONDUCT BIG
TENT MEETING

Baltimore's well known and noted
evangelist, John Moses Baker and
wife, conducted a Big Tent meeting
at Lee Mont, Va, during the month
Of August. Thousands of persons
were in attendance, and over one
hundred men, women and children
came to the altar. The singing by
The large choir under the direction
Of Rev. A. Hudson was enjoyed by
all. 1t was great.
Some of the folks who attended
writing about this wonderful Revival
say they have never seen the people
on the Eastern Shore interested in
Gods work as they are at this time,
and they believe the entire Eastern
Shore owes Evangelist Baker and
this Revival the credit for this
wonderful interest, because of the
large crowds that attended these
services and the sermons delivered
night after night helped the Christ
ians as well as the sinners, and now
most every one wants to do some
thing for the upbuilding OF Gods
Kingdom. The old Gospel still wins
when preached in Love-.
Evangelist Baker and wife are
now conducting Revival at Franklin
City. Va, Methodist Episcopal
Church, of which the Rev. D. b.
Prettyman is Minister.

The worlds annual expenditure
for armament has been computed as
follows: for armies $4,000, OOO,-
900; for navies $1,1O0,00O,O0O.

100000 is equal to the annual ex-
penditure of the United States for
all purposes, including interest and
repayment of debt" wrote 2. w.
Wilson in the New York Times, who
had not yet seen the latest figures OF
United States expenditure. 1T is
also equal to charge of 81 head,

man race, including those hundreds

Africa, to whom as yet, money has
scarcely meaning.

THE TENT IN THE SEVEN PINES
BY Evangelist John Moses Baker

BY Evangelist John Moses Baker
1t was in the month of August,
Surrounded by the pines,
They pitched the tent for the
meeting,
And frightened all the lines.
The choir and the music,
With the singing, oh so sweet.
Shall never be forgotten,
For to all it was a treat.
And then the old time Gospel;
Old, but forever new,
Brought to all mighty blessing,
In the Pulpit and the Pew.
The meeting now is over,
The big tent has been taken away,
But sweet memories will linger and
linger,
For many and many a day.

HOMEWARD BOUND

BY Evangelist, John Moses Baker
We are homeward bound for Heaven,
That city DER the sea.
In My Fathers house in Glory,
He's prepared a place for me.
Some day we'll cross the Bar,
And there will be no moaning,
AS shines the Evening Star.
We are homeward bound for Heaven,
Wen weather every gale,
And some day drop our anchor.
All safe within the vale.
