The increase in tax assessments for

increase over last, William P. Richards,
tax assessor, announced today as the
1882 assessment was completed. The
figures have not been added up but it
is thought at the very outside the real

sessment was S1,182 900, 900, and for
1881 (the current fiscal year, this was
increased to $1,21l 600, 900, an increase
of $29,000,000.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 24.-P-Coach
Cy Kasper and % Of his South Dako-

ing football game Saturday.

BrouilIard Takes Welterweight Title

Boston, Oct. 24.-R}-Lou Brouil-
lard, 2~0-year-old French Canadian
youth from Worcester, occupies the
welterweight throne.
The rugged youngster beat Jack
Thompson who had gained the title
from Jackie Fields two years ago. A
furious barrage Of left hooks dropped
the negro champion twice during last
nights 15-round battle in the Boston
Garden and the title passed by
unanimous decision.
The championship bout, the first
held in this state In IL years and the
first such welterweight contest since
Honey Melody, Boston, defeated Joe
Walcott, drew a capacity attendance
of 1880. Boston Garden officials es-
timated the gate at SIS 900. Thomp-
sons contract called for so per cent of
this amount and Brouillard received
10 per cent in addition to the cham
pionship.
Thompson allowed himself to be
chased about the ring during II of
the Is sessions, Brouillard pounding
his head and body with lefts as he
gracefully digested but few Of the
many straight rights aimed at him.
The negro vas beaten to the canvas
in the 10th and 18th, staying down for
nine in both rounds. He forced the
fighting only in the third round and
gained the edge in two other sessions
with q counter attack that surpassed
Brouillard's aggressive tactics.
Thompson tried to claim a foul In
the sixth, when Brouillard landed a
dubious hook that was described as a
foul by several observers who had an
excellent view of the blow. Thompson
and his handlers protested but Referee
Johnny BRASIL refused to heed them.

CIimaxes Long Standing Feud
With Steve McKeever, Half
Owner Of Club

New York, Oct. 24.-(P)-Max Carey
has succeeded 64-year-old Wilbert
Robinson as manager of the Brooklyn
Dodgers and for the first time since
the death of Charles H. Ebbets In
1925 the Dodgers can face the rest OF
the National League with a united
front.
The ousting Of Robinson after II
years service, decided upon unani-
mously by the directors, brings to an
end the most violent club war in base
ball history.
Nowhere in the annals Of the game
IAN be found any feud to rival, in in
tensity, that which ragged for half a
dozen years between Robinson and
Steve McKeever, half owner of the
Dodgers.
It was a feud based entirely on per-
sonal grounds but it reached a point
where the two men, general and affa-
BILE enough by themselves, dared not
to meet for fear of trading rights and
lefts in the best pugilistic fashion.
They couldn't agree ON anything-on
players, on policies or on how the
clubs money ought to be spent.
McKeever openly has sought Robin
sons baseball scalp for years but dur
ing most Of that time a deadlock .ex-
listed on the board Of directors with
McKeever interests holding two votes
and the Ebbets heirs, supporters OF
Robinson. also two. Robinson thus
could not be removed.

stepped in and sought to pour oil on
the troubled waters. The net result
was the appointment as a fifth and
neutral director, Of Walter Outch)
Carter, former Yale pitcher. Carter,
the balance wheel among the direc-
tors, was credited with settling the
dispute and selecting Carey as the
logical man for the managers post.

Carnegige Tech; Wisconsin with
Pennsylvania; Drake with Fordham
and Marquette with Boston college.

was favored to handle Iowa without

Indiana and Chicago, neither with
much power, were matched at Chi
