 Would you rather I slept here sonight?' he asked, in almost a whisper. his eyes seeking hers pleadingly.
 Again Peggy's perverse spirit gained the better of her judgment.
 "No thanks" and at the coolness of her voice, Jim flushed hotly, stepping back, thereby colliding with Obadiah Evans.
 Can I have a match?" Obadiah asked.
 Quickly Peggy sped to get it for him.

DOUGLAS NEVIS
DOUGLAS ALUMNI LOSE
 TO DOUGLAS HIGH FIVE

k The Douglas high school quintet last night in a three minute over time period, walked off the floor with a 1913 victory over their alumni opponents.
 It was the alumni's game until the last minute of play when Harry Lundell slipped in a short shot and tied the score at 13 all.
 The high school played ragged ball throughout and Coach King made frequent substitutions. Tn the overtime period of three minutes they were able to register three baskets and hold the Alumni score less for their six-point lead.
 For the Alumni, R. Kromquist led the scoring with points, Alex Gair followed with four and L. Johnson made one.
 Harry Lundell was high point man for the school with 12, w. Cashen was next with five and Red Fox added two points.
 There were 12 personal fouls call ed on the High and seven on the Alums, both teams converting but one of the free throws allotted to them,

He recently was granted a license

CAREY TO HEAD
GARDEN CORP.

NEW YORK, March 1o.-(P-
Activities of Jack Dempsey and the
Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton in promotion of fights were on
different paths today.
An hour after Dempsey had
made public plans for a lightweight
titular battle between Sammy Man
dell, the champion, and Ray Miller,
Chicago contender, under his sole
direction, the Garden, through
Richard F. Koyt. chairman of the
board, announced that William F.
Carey was to be chosen president
Of the corporation in succession 70
the late Tex Rickard.
In the Gardens reorganization
plan, Dempsey will have no place.
The corporation is extremely
friendly to the former champion
and perhaps will be eager to have
his cooperation on some of its fu-
ture fights. But it is not ready,
now at least, to meet Dempsey's
financial demands.
Dempsey is debating terms with
Humbert Fugazy, metropolitan pro-
moter. They conferred yesterday.
