DEMPSEY NOT SURE OF EARLY VICTORY BY ED W. SMITH (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 13.—"It may be a general surprise to the world, but the thing I would most like to do would be to hit him on the chin on July 4 and knock him into the same sort of a fit that I knocked Carpenter into. Whether I can, do it or not is a sort of question that I cannot answer." This was the very frank statement made to be by Jack Dempsey. He amplified the statement a little as his copper colored face lighted with the excitement of the situation and what he had to say. "I am not so extremely confident that I will be able to whip Mr. Gibbons in a round or so and I would rather not have any of the betting man who are so sure of me to place their money that way. Now I have heard a lot of them say that I am not ready, that he is, and that this is the time I am going to get mine." "Of course I do not think so, but at the same time, this is going to be a whale of a battle. I really believe Gibbons probably will be a leader up at the time I put over the winning punch, but he is not going to be an easy man to hit by any means." Dempsey is not of good color at the present time. They say you become colored a sort of yellow in the highlands of this section. Dempsey surely is coppered to the limit. His nose is red as a beet and white his color is healthy enough it is of the copper of this section. MUST BEAT YANKS TO GRAB PENNANT NEW YORK, June 13.—Connie Mack's Athletics are dangerous but the Yanks are the team that American League clubs will have to beat." Tris Speaker, manager and center fielder of the Cleveland Indians, made this statement in an interview today. His team has just finished a four game series with the Yankees in which Cleveland won three. Speaker said he thinks his Cleveland club is as good as any in the league, but is making no pennant predictions. Report Partner Gave Dempsey Knockout LOS ANGELES, June 13.—Rumors sifted thru to Los Angeles from Great Falls, Mont., today that Champion Jack Dempsey took the count recently after one of his negro sparring partners dealt him a terrific sideswipe on the chin. Dempsey, the same report said, was an easy victim for a knockout as he had neglected his training. Along with this report comes Walter Miller, who says he met Mayor Jim Johnson, of Shelby, in Portland last week and that Johnson made "no better" in telling of the affair. According to Miller's story from Mayor Johnson, Kid Godfrey, a New York negro heavyweight, delivered the blow during a sparring match. As soon as Godfrey realized what he had done, he is said to have grabbed Dempsey and held him until the champion's senses returned. YESTERDAY'S HOMERS National No. Total I.

This is a wonderful spot to spend a lazy day. The quiet of the place is refreshing after the hurry-scurry life in the valleys below. True, the whir of the auto is mingled with that of the guail, but up here the whir of the machine is only occasional and seems to fit in with the order of things while down on the boulevards the noise is inconsistent and bespeaks of the hurry of civilization. Just took a hike up Modjeska trail. Sald trail is calculated to settle the most hearty lunch. Our lunch consisted of two spring chickens, fried over an open camp fire, new potatoes, green peas, sandwiches, tea and cakes. It took some real exercise to overcome my portion of that lunch. Along with the lovesick birds there are a pair of couples just across the creek who are far more love-sick. People do some foolish things when the birds coo and the insects hum and the brooklets sing. The most safe and sane go foolish under such conditions. They say Jack Dempsey is a great lover of the out doors and that he is part Indian. Those two qualities are disable to help him hold the championship for years to come. The Indian will enable him to stand punishment and will give him endurance, but that same Indian blood may be his undoing. Pew Indians can stand prosperity. They cannot stand the temptations of gay life. Jack's Scotch may over come this weakness of the Indian. His Irish is just as liable to be susceptible to fire water and other things that do not promote hard muscles and clear eyes. Scotch-Irish-Indian—isn't that some combination for a fighter? Mrs. Mallory; the American Tennis champion; is not even second best. After getting a good start in the English tournament she fell before one of the English contestants and her defeat was decisive. America must look to other timber to bring back the high honors of the tennis world, and at present all eyes are turned toward Miss Wills, the California girl wonder. The sun has gone down behind the hills and it is time to thing of home. We have had a great day and return home when twilight shadows lend enchantment of the mountain world.

McCarthy, president of the Pacific Coast League from San Francisco, to prove charges that William Wrigley, Jr., engaged in syndicate baseball thru the recent purchase of the Seattle club by Wade Killifler and Charles Lockhard, both formerly with the Los Angeles club.

CENTER STREET PHONE 145 NEW FILM DEATH IN "THE LAST MOMENT" Nearly every imaginable kind of death has been utilized by motion pictures to afford variety even to the end that takes off superfluous characters, but it remained for J. Parker Read, Jr., producer of "The Last Moment," the Jack Boyle original screen story distributed by Goldwyn, to make use of a death entirely new to the screen. "The Last Moment" will be the attraction at the United theatre for two days, beginning tonight. An incident in this photoplay shows a person drowned from having unwittingly placed his hand in an abalone (often called sea-ear or ear shell). The abalone immediately closes down and holds the hand tight in its grip until the person dies from drowning. The abalone is ordinarily only six or seven inches in diameter, but some of them grow to be a foot or more in diameter. This novel way of bringing about the death of a character in a motion picture is absolutelyuthoric, although it has never before been utilized in the films—has very seldom happened in real life. COUNCIL MEETING Anaheim council will convene Thursday evening for the first regular session in the new municipal chambers. Advertising of bids on the outfall sewer will be started. The park swimming pool will also be considered. Triple Interest 1. The 4 per cent interest you receive on your savings account; 2. The interest you take in building up your account; 3.
