CHALLENGER LOSES EDGE FROM WORRY By DAVIS J. WASH (L. N. S. Sports Editor) SHELBY, Mont., June 30.—Altho the fact has been overlooked or ignored during the general excitement, the fact that Shelby, Great Falls and intermediate points have been just a little backward about coming forward with the final $100,000 necessary to assure the Dempsey-Gibbons match July 4, has been instrumental, seemingly, in taking the fine edge off Tom Gibbons. The challenger was like a lean, young thorobred fresh from the clover a few days ago. Today he seems as stodgy as a work horse, at the same time lacking that worthy animal's strength and kick. To our casual eye, the punch has gone out of Gibbons while he listened to Jim Johnson's daily mouthings about the unlimited wealth of Shelby and environs and its unquestioned ability to carry any financial load—if it only had the cash money. In Gibbons' mind, the bout has been off and on a sufficient number of times to worry him out of a week's training. He has ben placed in the position of an innocent hystander while Dempsey undoubtedly has a fairly definite idea of what will be done under any circumstances, thereby the medium of Jack Kearns' counsel. The latter can always accept the situation as is, or call off the show. The effect on the challenger's physical appearance, speed and general deportment in the ring has been apparent to the best of local minds. Gibbons no longer seems able to step around like a lightweight and slip a punch with amazing skill. Within 48 hours he has gone back on his heels and seen like Bud Gorman and George Manley seem able to hit him at their convenience. Both are worthy citizens but many a last, long mile removed from Dempsey. In addition, Gibbons has lost his milk maid's complexion and his face wears a lined, harried appearance. The strain of preparation might be responsible for the latter but it hardly is the agency for a pasty complexion and a pair of feet that are just a HOT? YES! HOW AB Capt. Donald MacMillan, commander of the Arctic and three members What if the country in general swelters on heat? Capt. Donald MacMillan plans to start soon from Wisconsin, Ms., for a little jaunt into the cooler regions of Sargum . Spro BY SARGUM SPROUT Why keep kicking a man when he is down?

LAST NITE'S FITES (By International News Service) AT ERIE, Pa., Carl Tremaine, BY SARGUM SPROUT Why keep kicking a man when he is down? Hal Chase, the most brilliant first baseman who ever played ball, was caught in the whirlpool that caused many of the games ball stars to be thrown out of organized ball. Real proof of Chase's guilt has never been established but circumstantia evidence was very strong against the star. Chase has not molested the game since being thrown out. He has been a good citizen so far as we know, and if he were guilty he has been trying to live it down. Not being allowed to participate in the game he loves and the profession he is master of in his own country, he went into Mexico to organize and teach the game of games to our sister republic. Now our moguls are pulling wires to have him ousted. Why not wait until Chase is not acting on the square. His intentions may be the best. I think all fair-minded fans would like to see him. HY. COMMISSIONERS TO HOLD PARLEY (By International News Service) SACRAMENTO, June 30—A conference of representatives of California, Nevada, Oregon and Idaho, to discuss interlinking road problems of the four states and agree on cooperative measures, will be held at Alturas, Modoc-co., on July 21.

FORESTER URGES FIRE PRECAUTION SACRAMENTO, June 30—Declaring that there is an unusually great fire hazard this summer because of the great abundance of dry grass and grain, State Forester M. B. Pratt today issued a warning to calipers and the general public that extraordinary precautions against fires must be taken if serious losses are to be prevented. Late raining, the state forester said have resulted in an unusual amount of grass in the foothills and a large yield of grain in the valleys. Pratt's warning follows: "As head of the forestry office I most urgently appeal to the people of California to take unusual precautions in guarding against fires. Camp fires should be extinguished and care should be taken in discarding cigarettes and cigars. Unless these precautions are taken great damage may result to the forests and grain fields of the state and it is the duty of every citizen to assist the state fire-lighting organizations in this critical period."

Greely, the solo survivor of his expedition, will be present to see MacMillan off. SANTEL FORCED TO WORK WITH MILLER By Sargum Sprout The small gathering of wrestling fans that attended the big show at Fullerton club parlor last evening surely received their money's worth. The show that was dished up should have been played to $1000 house in stead of $100. To begin with, that popular little man, Allen Foss, took Vic Baden's place in the prelim and any time Allen wrestles there is something doing Bill Friend, the Arizona boy, help Allen ten minutes and then blow up and the former Perris boy had an easy time planning the Arizona cartwheel in 11 minutes and again in two minutes. Foss is some heavier than when he last wrestled in Anaheim. He is willing to take on an 160-pounder on the coast, and would like a friendly bout with Roy Mabe to get even for their last meeting. The Elks club better take this up and have an evening's entertainment. Back to the big doings at Fullerton. Old Ad Santel had one awful time in handling Orland Miller. Ad's great physical condition was surel put to the test. For one hour and 11 minutes Miller slipped out of every thing Ad put on him. Everything was going lovely for Miller till he stepped into one of Meyer's famous "stopper" holds. The fall came in an hour, 12 minutes, 20 seconds. The going in the second period was rather slow as both men were tired Miller was taking his time and trying to outlast the champion but that can't be none. It took 33 minutes before Ad could get the Brea lad down for keeps. This time Ad used a full Nelson. The match was not as spectacular to watch as the Mabee-Santel mate but it was a great show. Next Friday they announced would bring to gather the great "Bool" Montana and Ad Santel. "Bool" has a private gry and a bunch of trainers and is out. LONG BEACH WINS THREE FROM LOCALS Long Beach No. 1, toppling pins in sterling fashion, took three straight from the Anaheim team on the local alleys last night in So Cal. Elks bowling league.

How can a man re-form and make good without the chance. Columns and columns of ink are being spread about Dempsey's last $100,000. The promoters shot far over their heads in staging, the Dempsey-Gibbons affair, but they will make it go through even at a considerable loss. Dempsey and his manager, Jack Kearns, are going to hang out for that $300,000 and they most likely cannot be raised and they refuse to take less—well, the couple will not be as popular as they are now. This talk of living up to contracts is alright, but there are exceptions to all rules. Dempsey has already made a fortune out of his title and his share out of the last $100,000 would not break or make him. Anyway we will bet a cookie that he fights Tommy Gibbons in Shelby on July 4. U.S. CARS MOST POPULAR IN INDIA More American motor cars were imported into India in 1922 than those made in any other country in the world, declares John B. Pratt, of Calcutta, Ltd., Hupp distributors in Calcutta, who has been visiting the Hupp Motor Car Corporation's factory. The Cadillac Garage Co., is the Hupp distributor in Anaheim and in Santa Ana. "A raise in import duty, first to 20 per cent and later to 30 per cent on motor cars and even higher on tires, tubes and petrol, is holding back greater development of motor transportation and causing strentuous and formal protest by the Motor Trades Association, one of the most powerful transportation organizations. "Inflation in India was greater immediately following the war than in almost any other country. Several concerns paid cash dividends of as high as 500 per cent on stock over a twelve months period in 1919 and 1920. Consequently, India has been slower to get back to a proper basis than most countries. I look for a considerably better business market next year than this and for further improvement in 1925. The majority of surplus stocks, due to inflation, have been sold and business houses are beginning to order new materials in fair quantities." American automobile manufacturers have not as yet realized the tremendous potential possibilities of the market in India any more than they have the sales that may be achieved in other foreign nations thru improved financial methods. It is quite possible that no manufacturer has, because of the tremendous demand for automobiles in this country.

L. Woman's Club served a applidend dinner for the County C. of C. dinner which was held in the club rooms on Wednesday evening. A short program, including songs by Mrs. Roscoe Gram and instrumental solos by Murray Walker was much enjoyed. There were about sixty-five present—and the ladies cleared a tidy sum to apply to the clubhouse fund. Mrs. Sidney King, of the Gale apartments, left Wednesday for a two or three months' trip to Canada. She will spend most of her time at Toronto, Ontario. Byron Gale visited his mother, Mrs. Mary Gale, on Friday evening. A crowd of about thirty people from here motored to Glen Ivy on Thursday evening and had a swim in the plunge.

Kellogg entertained at dinner at their ranch home the middle of the week in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Fox, who will move soon to Ramona. A large number of members of the Friends' church held a picnic in Orange County Park one evening the first of the week as a farewell courtesy to Rev.

Fox has endeared himself to the community during his stay here and will be much missed. Rev. Jones will take his place as pastor of the Friends' church. APRICANS MORE next year than this and for further improvement in 1925. The majority of surplus stocks, due to inflation, have been sold and business houses are beginning to order new materials in fair quantities. "American automobile manufacturers have not as yet realized the tremendous potential possibilities of the market in India any more than they have the sales that may be achieved in other foreign nations through improved financial methods. It is quite possible that no manufacturer has, because of the tremendous demand for automobiles in this country and the difficulties that might well be encountered through too great expansion. American cars should make even greater forward strides in all foreign countries when the advantages of standardized production and parts replacement are thoroughly understood by the motoring public." MUST BUY HORSE-LOVING BUT LAME (By International News Service) SUPERIOR, Welcome, June 30.—Whether a horse, possessed of a kind and loving disposition, but lacking motive power in its hind legs was worth $180 was the question presented for decision in a unique suit tried in Municipal court here.

The fight is to take place at the Polo Grounds and will be the first fight of import that the champion, Jonny Wilson has had in a year or over. Johnny has been accused of sidestepping the Pittsburgh walloper. The fight will attract much attention as the Pittsburg boy has a very good chance of topping the champion. Our old friend Young Terry is going great these days. He put up a great fight against Jack Spareat San Pedro a couple of nights ago. His services are being sought by the larger clubs and he is making good. Ad Santel informs us that Jim Londos has promised Ad a match for Labor Day but Ad says that he is not counting on any-match with the elusive Greek until he actually sees on the mat. Londos peddles considerable hot air but he really is not anxious to get Ad on the mat. NO RELAXATION OF SHIP REGULATIONS By LUTHER A. HUSTON (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, June 30—"There is no chance for relaxation of the dry ship regulation until the American congress modifies the law unless Washington is able to make treaties with the foreign powers on the subject." Secretary of the American Treasury Andrew Mellon declared today. Secretary Mellon continued: "The prohibition law prohibits the transportation of liquor within the territorial waters of the United States. The government has no alternative but to enforce it. The government might make a treaty which would enable U.S. officials to search and seize outside of the 3-mile limit, but permitting foreign liners to bring in liquor under seal. Such a treaty would have to be made through the treaty making power of the president and confirmed by the American senate. Otherwise there is no chance for relaxation until congress acts." The right to search ships 12 miles off the American coast would be valuable. It would keep run ships from establishing contact with the shore. Evasions of prohibitor are due mainly to the profits derived. If search were permitted up to 12 miles it would take out considerable from the profits." Secretary Mellon said he believed that the United States technically had the right to seize liquor-bearing ships, but that no such action was contemplated. He denied that the England-ward voyage of the Majestic (on which he travelled) was "wet." Asked for an opinion on the debt problem and other international questions, Secretary Mellon refused to make any statement. He added that he would not discuss the debt issue with any European official on his trip. He is not going to Germany nor to the Ruhr. Plain Dealer Ads Bring Results.
