DECISION STANDS u Supreme Court Affirms the Ruling of Judge Smith in Habeas Corpus Case of CARRINGTON VS. REED Sheriff of Lapeer County, Mich., May Now Have Dallas M. Reed The Indiana supreme court yesterday affirmed the decision of Judge Smith in the Adams circuit court in the habeas corpus case of Dallas M. Reed vs. George Carrigan, sheriff of Lapeer county, Michigan. An affidavit was filed in the Lapeer county court, by Robert Gardner, charging that Reed had misrepresented the value of |tock in the Also Products company, whose factory was located in this city. Sheriff Carrigan came to this city, and with local officials had arrested Reed, secured the necessary extradition papers, and was ready to start back to Michigan with his prisoner, when habeas corpus proceedings were filed in the Adams circuit court to preve’nt the sheriff from taking Reed to Michigan. The matter was heard by Judge D. E. Smith, and he decided that the Michigan sheriff has the right to take Reed to Michigan for trial. The case was appealed, and the decision affirms Judge Smith, and gives the Michigan authorities the privilege of taking him if they so desire. The affidavit was filed in February, 1918, and has been in the courts since. Reed was represented by Peterson & Moran and R. C. Parrish, whil J. Fred Fruchte, then prosecuting attorney, looked after the interest of the state and Sheriff Carrigan. Dallas M. Reed was a resident of this city at the time of the filing of the affidavit, but has sinee engaged in business in Indianapolis, < being the head of the Reed Food company, and is said to be doing nicely.

SPORT NEWS Ha* a “Bum” Ear. Chicago, Dee. 18. — Juck Dempsey, world’s heavyweight champion, was on his way west today, wearing a left ear which wouldn't function normally. The champion said there was nothing seriously wrong with tho internal ear and refused to discuss his secret appointment with Dr. Fred Bonine, noted specialist of Niles, Mich., yesterday. The ear was examined during the champion's brief stay in Chicago last night by another specialist, Dr. R. R. Morris. Nearly everyone who talked with Jack discovered he couldu£ hear as well as when the conversation was directed toward the south side ear as when on the other side. Dempsey did everything possible to cover his movements during the trip to Niles and through Chicago, although usually the champion is placed on exhibition to newspapermen and followers when going through the city. Scores of Dempsey’s friends waiting to meet him here last night were disappointed when the champion failed to show at the hotel where his manager, Jack Kearns, was staying, Apparently authentic reports were that while in Chicago Dempsey was again in cousultation with Dr. Bonino. Dempsey was finally found at the railroad station just as he was about to board the train which, was to carry him to Salt Lake City, where he will spend the Christmas holidays with his folks. Favor London for Big Bout, .New York, Dec. 18. — When Tex Rickard mentioned Havana for the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, the * wise ones laughed. When he changed his mind and said New York, the sages agreed, "That’s better.” Now that he’s looking in the direction of the docks and murmuring things about London, the sentiment is, “What the ■ ?” London, in fact, is the favo rite now. Rickard’s memory, it seems, runs back to 19f16, when he was “all dressed up with the Gans-Nelson fight and had no place to go.” He was shown the gates of California after he had built an arena qpd had to chase over into Nevada with his one-ring caravan. With his business-like ear to the grpund, Rickard has learned that lots of officials in these parts are feeling just like the governor of Cal-

ifornia did back In 1906. Tho New i York Boxing commission is ugalnst it 1 and the American metropolis *\'us the one place on this continent that the promoters wanted to pitch the l)lg stadium necessary to get the required •‘million dollar gate.” Charles B. Coehrane, tho London member of the promoting firm, laughed off tho premonitions of JUckurd. "Why worry?” he asked. “Come over here whore you know no deputy sheriff will push the referee out of the ring and tako charge himself.” There are other nice things about. London. Ono is the trivial matter •!' $150,000. From a business standpoint, the gate has to be a million dollars. A “gate” of that size In New York would mean $150,000 in state and federal taxes. If Messrs. Rickard and Brady could forego the necessity of living in England .for three months previous to the fight, they would avoiiba tax. Dempsey and Carpentier, however, will get caught for their personal taxes, no matter where the bout is fdught. Jess Willard got SIOO,OOO for losing his championship in Toledo. Uncle Sam got $31,410 of it in taxes. Dempgey is to get $300,000 under the agreement and out of that his Uncle will put out his hand for a cut of about $125,009. Dempsey and Carpentier are sure to get their moqey, however, but the promoters are not so sure of their cut. It ipeans something to knock $150,000 off their load. Girls Win; Boys Lose. The Decatur high school boys’ and girls’ basket ball teams, accompanied by a number of rooters, journeyed ty Fort Wayne in a special car last evening where they divided the honors, the local girls performing as usual and winning their game by a score of 17 to 9, while the Fort Wayne boys won by ascore of 42 to 17. The opening game was staged between the local girls and the Fort Wayne girls, the locals having a hard time getting started, their opponents leading the first half by a score of 5 | To 4. In the second half the local girls '■ displayed sogie exceptional fine teairf ' work and shooting and soon forged ahead, obtaining a comfortable lead . which they held the remanider of the I game, allowing the Fort Wayne outfit only four additional points, the final 1 score ending 17 to 9. i The feature of the evening was bei tween the local boys and the Fort : Wayne high school quintette, the Fort ' Wayne boys proving easy victors. They started their scoring early in the i game, the first half ending 20 to 10 in their favor.- The Fort Wayne team

continued their scoring the second half, tho. locals only being able to «e---cure several more points, tho final score resulting 42 to 17 with the locals holding the short end. • Bryant Wins Easy Victory. In order to fill the engagement with the BryUnt high schpol team also scheduled last night, tho Decutur high school second string men accompanied by Superintendent Worthman, made tho trip by automobile and lost to tho Jay county eagers in a onesided game by a score of 81 to 8. The Bryant aggregation greatly outweighed the locals and had everything their own way at all times. They started their scoring machine early in the game and never let up, theHocals being forced to return home with the short end of the score.
