Prize fighting is outlawed in many places.in the States, but. there are alwaye ways of ‘getting around the law when the public wante to see a fight. And apparentiy—-the public want to see the fight. between the two leading gladiators, Dempsey and Tunney.

Merchants expect the crowd to spend $5,060,000. Patrons may spend half that fight itself, seeing that admission tickets are to run from $5 to $40— and probably higher, if the sepculat- ors get hold of them in New York style.

Subsequently he followed his trade of typesetter on The Toronto Globe and while yet a young man, e to Chicago where he éventually joined the edi- torial force of The re- porter, later becoming city editor and then managing editor. After a while he published and edited his own daily evening newspaper, Despatch. He died here about a year go. He was about eighty-four years old then and he had become well known and his career was most col- orful. Also, he was the past preasi- dent of The Chicago Press Club. , k to my story. I had ‘been vacationing in the Georgian Bay and other sections of Ontario, when T detoured to Listowel and Milverton on my way home. I was driven from Listowel to Milverton by one of the aons of Ro T.

Adam Torrance, rusty with age, but hearty as an ox was known to me the instant I glimpsed him in the barnyard of his farm.
