DEMPSEY-GIBBONS FRAY KNOWN TODAY GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 16—At 2 c'clock this afternoon, $71,000 in cash was in the hands of promoters of the Dempsey-Gibbons heavyweight championship bout scheduled for Shelby on July 4, and it was announced the conference between bankers promoters and Jack Kearns had been postponed for two hours. It was originally set for 4 p.m. It was declared practically certain the needed $29,000 in cash would be forthcoming. GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 16—Jack Kearns will be paid his $100,-000 this afternoon. And the Dempsey-Gibbon fight on July 4 is absolutely certain. At a secret conference held this morning the rest of the money needed to make up the $100,000 was piedged by various business men and bankers of Great Falls. The money was subscribed in sums ranging from $1000 up to $7500. It was agreed that the money which these men placed in the hands of the banker's committee will be paid out of future ticket sales receipts. The condition was made, however, that Jim Johnson, mayor of Shelby; Mike Collins and Loy Molumby must be dealt out of active participation in the promotion of the fight. From now on, Dan Tracey must be sole boss of the entire affair. Tracey is one of the most conspicious of Montanans. He was connected with big mining interests for years. Some time ago he retired only to emerge as the proprietor of a hotel here. He is a power in civic state and financial affairs and is perhaps the most ardent boxing enthusiast west of the Mississippi. The findings of Tracey today, as regards the financial condition of the fight are: Cash already taken in, about $125,000. Tickets sold, but cash not collected $130,000. Tickets out on consignment from which no sales report has been received $555,000. "I'm getting a bit rusty in the..." Some time ago he retired only to emerge as the proprietor of a hotel here. He is a power in civic state and financial affairs and is perhaps the most ardent boxing enthusiast west of the Mississippi. The findings of Tracey today, as regards the financial condition of the fight are: Cash already taken in, about $125,000. Tickets sold, but cash not collected $130,000. Tickets out on consignment from which no sales report has been received $555,000. "I'm getting a bit rusty in the hinges," said Tracey today, "and jumping into this affair now is a job that means a lot of hard work. But I'm willing to do it because the reputation of our state is at stake and secondly because I know that the fight can be made a success." PROPOSE LEAGUE SO. CAL. BASKETBALL A proposed basketball league of So. Cal. for the coming school year has met with approval from the high school superintendent and athletic faculty of the Fullerton high school. The league would include Fullerton, Santa Ana, San Diego, Whittier, Pasadena and Long Beach. This, according to "Shorty" Smith of the athletic faculty, would mean a series of interest games which would mean a more strongly developed team for Fullerton. RUSHING WORK UPON ARENA AT SHELBY SHELBY, Mont., June 16.—Plans are being rushed here for the construction of the huge arena which will seat the hordes of fans expected from all parts of the world to attend the 15-round decision bout on July 4 between Champion Jack Dempsey and Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul. The arena will be located on the site, originally selected by Mike E. Collins, of St. Paul, promoter aide, who assisted Roy J. Molumby, State Commander of the American Legion to sign up the big battle in Chicago. The arena will be built into a natural bowl which lies, nestled it in the foothills, less than a half mile from Shelby. An order has been placed for 100 car loads of lumber and it is expected that an additional 100 car loads will be used before the structure, which will seat more than 50,000 persons, is completed. It was pointed out by the State Comander that the State of Montana will receive 50 percent of the net profits of the big battle. Under the State Boxing law this money must be paid into the State Treasury to be used for the construction hospital for the returned and sold soldiers of the World War-I event that the hospital fund has been started by January, the law provides that the public view parade from stand, indicated by arrow behind trees. President Harding, Mrs. Harding and dignitaries of both the Shrine and the state witnessed the most colorful parade in the history of the when the red paraded through Allah" which Sargum Sprout President McCarty of the Pacific Coast League and Wm Wrigley, Jr., of the Angels shook hands and called off their war yesterday. Both men had a certain amount of damaging evidence against the other, damaging action according to law, but neither had a winning case, so they agreed to drop their fight. The make up between McCarty and Wrigley can not erase the poison in the other club owners. Just as long as Ed Mayer, Wade Killifer and all the rest of the present owners face one another across the directors table, there will be trouble. The draft rule the main contention between the two factions, is a hard problem to work out. To return to the old draft rule of a few years back would be disastrous, out there should be a connection between the majors and the minors that would be of mutual benefit. The wise fans and experts have been watching for signs of Old Ty Cobb slipping but Tyrus seems to have hit upon the Spring of Perpetual Youth. Every year in every way he is the same old Ty. His eye is just as keen as ever and his old bat carries just as much power. He may have set tled down a but, he does not head line the papers by getting into fights with the fans any more, but he can still steal a base and field a ball. From the present out look Ty will be playing for several years yet.

No real man ever succeeds. There is always 40 LOS ANGELES MEN TO LOOK FOR RSIBERIAN GOLD By WILLIAM G. CAYCE, International News Service.. Staff Correspondent. LOS ANGELES, June 16.—The ancient lure of the frozen North with its ice, valuable furs, raging seas and gold has again reached Los Angeles. With countless thousands of miles of virgin Siberian gold fields as their Sproutings We may start a few "do you remember" to bring back the old days and bring out plainly the great growth of our own Anaheim. Here are a few "do you remember" to start with. Do you remember when Anaheim was surrounded by a wire fence to keep the range cattle out? On coming into town or leaving you had to open wire gates. That was before my time but some of the older residents will remember. Do you remember when Company E. State Militia organized a baseball team, and played the Young Americans? Do you remember Joke Stearn's first auto. Do you remember Paul Turk, the athlete who first starred for Anaheim High School? Do you remember when Frank Taussel played the cornet in the Anaheim Orchestra? Do you remember when Joe Burk and his two sisters headed a troupe that gave a vaudeville show at the old Opera House? Remember when Fleishman, the butcher shot the lights out of a Center Street saloon on an election night? Remember when Pete Wisser started to High School? Leslie Swope was a senior and Fayette Lewis a junior. Do you remember when Jack Burnett played left field for the Olinda team? A Little Talk On Thrift (By S. W. Straus, President American Society for Thrift) "I have not succeeded. No real man ever succeeds. There is always a larger goal ahead." Thus wrote one of America's industrial leaders when asked to give the secret of his success. When a man is in the position of being thoroughly satisfied with his condition in life he will make no further progress. One of the economic evils in England today is the so-called dole system through which the unemployed are given certain support by the government. While governmental aid is, of course, to be recommended in cases of extreme emergency, the system as a whole is creating an enervating effect on the people. Thousands are perfectly satisfied with their condition of public dependency. With then ambition for personal progress has ceased. They would rather live in their meager way at public expense than to create better conditions for themselves through work. Do not allow yourself to become thoroughly satisfied with your present condition in life. Seek always the pathway of progress. Strive continually to make more of yourself than is now the case. After several months spent abroad, the writer, who has just returned to the United States, has been most forcefully impressed with the fact that this general spirit of restless ambition constitutes one of our greatest sources of national strength. In America, broadly speaking, every boy and girl, every man and woman, every village and city, are striving continually toward better conditions. Progress is visible everywhere. In striking contrast to this universal progressiveness, one notes in the older countries across the sea a greater disposition to let well enough alone, to follow the lines of traditions to be satisfied with the methods of past generations. Let us remember always that success is really discontent expressed in terms of worthy accomplishment. BELIEVE BRADLEY VICTIM OF GANG (Los Angeles, June 16)—Attho a coroner's jury returned a verdict this afternoon that Frank Bradley met his death by gunshot wounds inflicted by Charles W. Clepper, deputy District Attorney Clark threw a bombshell in the hearing by clearly indicating that the authorities believed Bradley was the victim of a of the works of her father, the late Joquin Miller, "Poet of the Sierras," resurrected, modernized and produced. "Till never marry again," she declared in an interview here today. "However, my body may love. That means that though some man might love me, I couldn't return his affections." All of this, she frankly admits as her eyes dance with enthusiasm, is because she is passing thru a second reincarnation. But Juanita is dead, nor has she ever died, but she has a new definition for reincarnation. "It's all fate," declared the famous poet's daughter, who still retains the vigor of a school girl, "and don't mind it. Rather like it, in fact. It is an experience like my two marriages to Juan Revis, my 'Golden man,' and Juan Miller, my 'Lily Love' and all the other men folk who have played a part in the 'cycle of colors' of my first physical reincarnation." She explained in somewhat mixed metaphors for half an hour that her life had been made up of colors; that the two sides of her nature, pagan, from her father, and Christian, from her mother, have been subservient to these colors. Each of these colors, she said, was symbolic of some emotion—some good and others gloomy. TAX PAYER SURE WABASH, June 15—When Oscar Mayrocker of Wabash visited the office of the county treasurer to pay taxes on a vacant lot owned by him, he was informed by the treasurer that there was a two-story frame building on the lot. "Hope there is," said Oscar, "but when I left the lot fifteen minutes ago there was no sign of a house." Finally the matter was referred to the county assessors, who were asked to find the house. won by Riley, Kansas State Aggie; Leistner, Stanford, second; Taylor, Grinnell, third; Johnson, Ills., fourth Hubbard, Michigan, fifth; Brickman, Chicago, sixth.

BELIEVE BRADLEY VICTIM OF GANG (By International News Service) LOS ANGELES, June 15—Altho a coroner's jury returned a verdict this afternoon that Frank Bradley met his death by gunshot wounds inflicted by Charles W. Clepper, deputy District Attorney Clark threw a bombshell in the hearing by clearly indicating that the authorities believed Bradley was the victim of a "gang killing" plotted by enemies, and that Clepper's confession of the slaving was a "frame up." An alleged eye witness story of the shooting was told by John Byers, a waiter, who recited how Clepper shot Bradley when Bradley was beating using a buhcher knife to threaten Clepper. Byers said.

LONDON, June 16.—The British Air Ministry is experimenting with a new type of postal aircraft for high-speed mail carrying over long distances. Two purely experimental machines are now about complete and awaiting tests. These machines differ from previous types by having the engine housed in a central engine room for attendant engineers to repair the engines in the course of a flight. The first of these machines to be built is a triplane and is known as The Possum. It has a single 450-horsepower Napler Lion engine, driving tow air-screws, one on each side of the fuselage. Its tests are in the hands of Norman MaeMillan, who is shortly to attempt a round-the-world flight. Carl Jensen, charged with breaking plate glass on the highway, was arrested yesterday by the Fullerton police, and released on bail of $25. ST. LOUIS WILL BE HOST TO THRONGS OF ROTARIANS ST.
