KANE HAPPY OVER DECISION TO FIGHT SHELBY, Mont., July 3—Eddie Kane, manager of Tommy Gibbons, was happy this morning when announcement came from Great Falls to the effect that Jack Kearns had consented to permit the match to go on in spite of the fact that the final payment of Dempsey's guarantee was not forthcoming. Kane has been trying to get Gibbons into the ring for a chance at the title for the past two years and it was a bitter disappointment to him when it appeared that the match would not go thru. When the announcement was made that the bout would go thru Kane issued the following statement: Tommy Gibbons will be the happiest man in the United States when he wakes up this morning and I tell him that he is going to meet the champion after all. I had to tell him late last night that there was some doubt about it. "Well, Eddie," he said. "I'm sorry. But I hope they find some way to save the match." "I reminded Tom that he wasn't going to make anything of this match and he said: 'Your aren't telling me anything. Moe. I don't want a dime. I want a chance at this title.' "I think Kearns did a sporting thing in agreeing to go thru with it." SO. CAL. BOAT LAST IN BIG YACHT RACE (By International News Service) VANCOUVER, B.

Dempsey looked fit for his approaching battle with Challenger Tom Gibbons. Following yesterday's program, the Manasse mauler took a light workout on the road this morning and sat around the camp on the banks of the Missouri River during the remainder of the day. He was in cheerful mood and ready to talk on most any subject but the Fourth of July Shelby battle. He whilled part of the time away supervising the care of his "young menagerie," which he has collected during his six weeks here and which he will take to his Dempsey City ranch. The champion plans to leave for Shelby Wednesday morning, and will return to the Great Falls park camp following the fight.

Calif. Yacht Club, ran into a succession of fluky breezes in the second round and finished tail-end in the first race of the series for the trophy. Rear Commodore Ben P. Weston sailed a good race, considering he is not acquainted with English Bay waters and while he led both Sir Tom of the Seattle Yacht Club and Patricia, the Canadian challenger, carrying the colors of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club in the first round, he did not make a good finish. Sir Tom, with her designer, skipper and owner, Captain Ted Geary at the helm, won by the close margin of 21 seconds from the Patricia. Captain R. M. Maitland, with the Angela, was one minute and twenty seconds behind the Patricia. Captain Open Churchill, sailing the Star-class sloop Mala, won the first race of the series of three for Star-class boats from a fleet of 14 starters. It was a beautiful race.

All games will take place on the "Y" field on St. Philadelphia-st. Both games last night were hotly colleted and ran close enough in score to be very interesting for the spectators.

It is a wonderful place to picnic and lay about in the shade. There were several good tennis matches pulled off at the one court the place affords. There were players enough waiting their turn to have kept several courts busy. The big place of attraction was the dance pavilion. There was a good orchestra and old and young big and little, fat and slim were enjoying themselves on the floor. Some couples appeared as part of the music while others had about as much grace as old bossy on ice skates. One big husky had a way of grabbing his partners with a sort of body lock that had the poor girls bent the wrong way in an angle of about 90 degrees in which position he obligingly carried them around on his right hip. There were some few rough-necks of the stable variety, who took advantage of the freedom of the place to stage some dances that are not considered just proper in polite circles, but on a whole the dancers were having a big frolic and were surely enjoying it. Now that "Bool" Montana has again entered the wrestling game perhaps he will take up one of the numerous challenges Roy Mabee hurled at him several months ago. A match between the two would surely be the most entertaining a wrestling fan would care to witness. The "Bool" would have the advantage of weight, but Roy is the speedier. Roy has been too busy counting his oranges to think of wrestling. Stopped in to see him the other evening. He had a week's stubble on his face and the farm was in evidence all about his person, but he looked better than when he was in active training. A couple of weeks of road work to build up his wind and he would be ready to step with any mat artist of his weight. He still maintains he is through with the game. Maybe Mabee is and maybe Mabee is not. SPORT SNAP SHOTS By KACK KEENE George Slater, one of the great stars of baseball, is taking light practice daily with the object of getting back into baseball before the summer is over. Friends have tried to persuade the St. Louis star not to attempt a comeback this season, but he is determined to try. "It will be the happiest day of my life," said Slater the other day, "when I go up to that plate with the bat on my shoulder. My eyes are slowly regaining their strength; otherwise I feel as well as I ever did in my life." St. Louis is taking the proposed stage some dances that are not considered just proper in polite circles, but on a whole the dancers were having a big frolic and were surely enjoying it. Is there any one who wouldn't lose sleep to run against what I did? The call for spring training was at hand, my trunk was packed, when a few days before the time for my departure for the south, I contracted influenza. Had it stopped there I would have been all right. But it didn't. It left its sting right in my eyes and day by day I waited for everything to clear up and allow me to join the club. "I now am convinced that I have passed the crisis." You should have George Sisler, one of the great stars of baseball, is taking light practice daily with the object of getting back into baseball before the summer is over. Friends have tried to persuade the St. Louis star not to attempt a comeback this season, but he is determined to try. "It will be the happiest day of my life," said Sisler the other day, "when I go up to that plate with the bat on my shoulder. My eyes are slowly regaining their strength; otherwise I feel as well as I ever did in my life." St. Louis is taking the proposed camback of the great first baseman with all seriousness. The fans have decided to make the day long to be remembered by both Sisler and the baseball public. Tentative plans as announced to date are that Sisler will play his first game with the Browns on Aug. 14. On that day the Yankees will play the first game of their series with the Browns. Sisler was in a happy mood the other day as he went over his illness from the start to the present time. "You can imagine how I felt last spring when the eyes grew dimmer and dimmer," said Sisler. "I was told that I was worrying too much." HEALTH FOLK TO MEET (By International News Service) WINONA LAKE, Ind., July 3—The bottle makers are in for another jolt. This time it will be the nursing bottle business that will be endangered. A campaign to place a ban on baby's bottle will receive its initial impetus during a baby health conference at Winona Lake, famous Chautauqua center. The American baby is a bibulous youngster, according to Dr. Ada Schweitzer, director of the child hygiene division of the Indiana Board of Health, one of the promoters of the campaign. He takes to the bottle at an early age, and a large percentage of him never gets the food nature intended. He is not the robust child he would be if not so addicted to artificial bottle feeding. Efforts to reduce the number of bottle babies will be made through a campaign of education of mothers in the proper methods of nursing.

"And these," she said, pointing to a large dish of mushrooms set before her, "are all—all for me?" "Yes, dear," he replied. "I gathered them especially for you." She smiled at him fondly. What a considerate and thoughtful husband he was! In a short time, with great relish, she had devoured the lot. At the breakfast table next morning her husband greeted her anxiously: "Sleep well last night?" he inquired. "Splendidly!" she purred. "No illness at all—no pain?" he pressed. "Why, of course not, Fred! You needn't worry about my health." "Hurrah, then!" exclaimed the botanist. "At last I have discovered a new species of mushroom that isn't poisonous." Every business develops its own peculiar kind of humorous anecdotes. In one of the banks the other day a girl clerk in the accounting department called a customer and said: "I just wanted to inform you that your account is overdrawn eight cents."
