Th = : FRIDAY. OCTOBER New York, Oct, 14--Despite the assertion in Salt Lake City yester- day of Dempsey that he "wouldn't consider "proposals for peace with his former manager, Jack Kearns, other developments indicated defin- ite movements under way to patch up differences between the pair, looking toward the eventual resump- tion of Dempsey"s management by KearLs, $a Kearns here authorized the an- nouncement by his associate, '"Ted- dy "Hayes, that he had agreed to indefinite postponement in Trenton N.J., of an action to recover $333,- 333.33 from Dempsey under the terms of their former contract. Ac- cording to Hayes, Kearns went to Trenton today with his lawyers to effect this postponement, but Ar- thar 'F. Driscoll of counsel for Dempsey declared he 'knew noth- ing" of this or of any negotiations to settle the Kearns-Dempsey dif- ferences out of court, Most boxing observers were skep- tical of any arrangement which would put Dempsey again under the management of the man. who, 'piloted him to the 'championship, but algo were willing to admit that legtranger- things have" happened in ithe boxing racket."

GREAT PROBLEM OF CHILD DELINQUENCY (Continued from page 1) in these cases it was stated that the main cause for much of the trouble into which children fall is lack of parenial control and home discipline. A grave warning was uttered in the court to the effect that '"'parents must uncerstand that tif@éir chil- dren will not improve either in running here and there about the streets and in constant attendance at the movies." Supt. Alger points out in this con. nection that ine authorities are not attacking the moving picture thea- tres or their value to children when films of instructive or interesting' nature are siaown. Rather, the thea- tre managers themselves deplore conditions which they are unable to control. Boys are said=io 'wail out- sia theatres and cajole patrons in- to taking them in. Some, it is known beg for money to atiend the per- formances. As these things oceur outside the theatres, the executive staff of ihe playhouses cannot con- trol them. It is also intended 'to check up on youngsters engaging in street ua- des in Oshawa and the public is warned that in the Ontario Chil- dren's Protection Act, no girl un- der 16 and no boy under 12 shall engage in or be licensed to engage in any street trade or occupation." With which is coupled an order that "No boy under 16°years of age snail engage in an sireet trade or occu- pation between the hours of ten o'- clock in the afternoon and six o'- clock in the forenoon of the follow- ing day." Further, as regards children being allowed to run the sireets at night, the act provides that "No child shall loiter in any public place after mune o'clock in the evening or be in any place of public resort or enteriain- ment after that hour 'unless accom- panied by hi parent or guardian or an adult appointed by the parent or guardian to accompany such child." A parent who permit his child to violate this section shall for the first offence incur a penalty of one dollar without costs, for the second offence two dollars; and for the third and subsequent offences five dollars. QUEEN'S HOLD FINAL WORKOUT FOR GAME SCHEDULED SATURDAY Kingston, Oct. 14--Queen's last work out before their game in Montreal on Saturday was held at the Stadium yes- terday afternoon when Howard and Britton, two players injured on Tues- day, made their appearance. The practice was mainly light scrimmage work and signal practice, with a chalk talk winding up the week's work. Coach Orin Carson had little to say regarding the chances of the team in Montreal, but maintained that the Tri- color never had a scrappier team. Given an even break in the luck, he said, and Queen's should win. . Captain Cliff Howard was in uniform though still hobbling around, while .| Britton looked in fine shape again. Gib McKelvey made his first appear- ance of the week, but his knee is in such a condition that he can scarcely be expected to play much on Saturday. Baird and -Keddie, two of vesterday's casualties, were back on the job, while Waugh was sporting a big plaster on his nose, the souvenir of a strenuous line plunge. Li The team leaves at noon on Friday for Montreal, and. unofficially it was announced that the team would be: Warren, Abbot, 'quarter, Sutton; snap, Nagel; insides, Brown and Handford; middles, Kilgour and Howard; outsides, Walter and Agnew, while the subs will be selected from Mundell, Young, Stevenson, Carter, Durham, G.

This lad crossed the pole at a height of 10 feet, 734 inches after he had leap- ed 9 fcet, 6 inches to capture the senior event. After jumping this lat- ter height, Maundrell went up to 10 feet, 3'4 inches and from there to his ncw record. He made both jumps without a hitch and the measuring was exact. It was done by none other a personage than Walter Knox, chief ccach of the Ontario. Athletic Commis- sion. In addition to the foregoing a num- ber of other records were smashed. At the outset of the day's events, O. Dewland, of Whitby, added 4 of an! inch on to the junior standing broad | jump record of 7 feet, 7 inches. The new rccord therefore is 7 feet, 74 inches. The old record was held by Bascom, of Whitby, and was estab- lished in 1925. Maundrell, of the same institution, created a new senior shot put record when he threw the ball 41 feet. 34 inches. Bailes, of Oshawa, in 1925, threw the shot for 38 feet, 4 inches. Another Whithy youth, Nor- tham, also added a record to his crown with the senior hop, step and jump when he negotiated a distance of 40 feet, 214 inches. The old dis- tance was 39 feet, 3; irich made by Clarke, of Bowmanville, in 1926. Oscar Baird took 2-5 of a second off the 220 yard senior dash when he covered the distance in 24 2-5 seconds whereas Sommerville of Bowmanville, took 24 4-5 second in 1922. Tt was pretty near time the record was changed. Another dash record was smashed when Smith, of Oshawa cap- tured the 220 junior event and creat- ed a record of 26 4-5 seconds, The old mark was 27 3-5 scconds made by Osborne of Bowmanville, in 1923 The following are the "events and results so far contested: Junior shot put--I1, O.

Marie, Oct. 14--Upper Peninsula hockey fans are anxious to include the Canadian Sault in their United States Hockey Association for the coming season, according to ad- vices received from George Harvey of Calumet, Mich., Secretary of the asso- ciation, and John T. McNamara, pre- sident, yesterday. The inclusion of the Canadian Sault is being sought to provide a drawing card for the other teams in the league in their home games, «and to provide for 'wider scope of the league. It is planned to extend the circuit next season, Harvey states, to include Escanaba, Menominee and Marinette, and the officials feel that the inclusion of the Soo wuold give them a well-balanced circuit. PLAYERS' MELON SPLIT INTO 170 SHARES Chicago, Oct, 14--The World Se- ries players' melon, amounting to $339,440.67, the greatest in base-- ball history, was split up into 170 shares by Commission Landis last night when he mailed cheques to the conquering New York team and members of the teams which finish- ed second, third and fourth in the American and National League rac- es.
