Thompson's Manager May Protest Fields’ Victory Chicago, Mar. 27. —(U.R)~ The victory over Young Jack Thompson which gave Jackie Fields recognition as the National Boxing Association's recognized welterweight champion, may be protested by Ray Alvis, Thompson’s manager. Alvis reportedly will base his protest on the riot which occurred in the eighth round, when panic spread among the spectators. The ring was over-run by the crowd and the fight was halted for a few minutes. The Illinois Athletic commission rules provide that no one except the fighters and referee shail be permitted to enter the ring during the fight. — o 41 Report For Football Practice At Columbia City That Columbia City will have a large squad for football next fall was evidenced by the enthusiastic turnout of prospective members of the eleven for the first practice of the year. Coach Devol issued a call for football players to report at Carter field Monday afternoon after school and 26 responded to. the call. In addition fifteen more expressed their intention to come out for spring practice Tuesday night and there is not likely to be any lack of competition for places on the eleven. There Is splendid material in sight for a heavy fast line and a number of promising candidates for the back field. Baseball practice was begun simultaneously with the footbal practice and indications are for one of the best baseball teams in years- The nine will have a heavy schedule as it is required to play eight conference games.

The wing tank capacity will be 80 gallons and a 100-gallon tank within the fuselage will be used as a storage tank for gasoline taken in by mid-air refuelings. Another Cessna monoplane pulled by a Wright Whirlwind motor of 220 horsepower, will be used to refuel the flight plane. It's present tank capacity I cf 80. gallons will be increased to 150 gallons.

DEMPSEY MAY BE FORCED TO FIGHT New York, Mar. 27.—(U.R) —Jack Dempsey may be forced to promise to return to the ring and fight for the heavyweight championship next fall to carry the day for the new combination in sporty promotion he has formed with Humbert J. Fugazy. Already there are signs that only by promise of his actual presence in the ring as a contender for the title he held so long can the former champion hope to win out against the wealth and prestige of Madison Square Garden. It seems that only by promising to fight the ultimate logical contender I can Dempsey talk the leading heavy- | weights of the moment out of their agreements. written and verbal, with I Madison Square Garden. The ex-champion undoubtedly holds 'the whip-hand over the Garden group ‘in this respect. If he will agree to fight eventually the best of the men who consent to fight for him between now and September, all other contracts become scraps of paper. o Luck Pick. Its Pals “I have found that good luck Is a wise chooser of its companions,’’ says Irving Bacheller in the American Magazine. “It prefers to run with the man who sees his way clearly nnd is prepared to act quickly when approaching decisive moments. Luck is no laggard nor wastei of time.’’ o — Creed Says a well-known philosopher in the American Magazine: “Forget yourself. Think of others. Know what your rights are and then forget most of them.” —o People and Worms "When we feel that we are on an equality with the worms,” says the old philosopher in the American Magazine, “there is trouble ahead for us.’ CONFESSES HE KILLED RECLUSE — Man Held At Laporte Admits He Killed John Tucker, 78, At Knox, Ind.

Ind., Mar. 27. — (U.R) —Arrested in Chicago three weeks ago on ; a murder charge, Fred Stella. 28, today confessed to Deputy Sheriff William Anstiss, Laporte, that is killed John Tucker, 78, Knox recluse. Stel'a said he killed the aged man last August for SSO, which he was promised, but failed to received. Stella charged that Andrew Pepe, 53, Knox Italian, promised him the money "if he would get the old man out of the way so he (Pepe) could obtain possession of the property on which Tucker lived.’’ Because of high feeling by Knox citizens against him, Stella has been held in jail here.

■JIX AND DORK' FAMILIAR PAIR AMONG RRITONS I II ont e Secretary Blamed For Laws Imposing Odd Prohibitions By Arch Rogers (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, Mar. 27—r-<UP) —All England Is talking ab mt “Jlx and Dora Their names are prominently displayed in the press, and consequently on the placards displayed by news vendors in the street. A stranger wonders whether this combination'!* a new sensation on the music hall stage or a lovers' .suicide pact. "Jlx and Dora Sensation’’ appears on one'placard and “Good-bye Dora. We Must Lose you” is the legend in block letters on another. The truth is that there is not -the slightest affection, or even any real connection between the couple now receiving so much publicity. “Jlx" is the popular name by which the Home Secretary, Sir William Joynson-Hlcks, is known, derived easily enough from his real name. "Dora'' was born during the war, and gets “her” name from a combination of her initials, D. Q R. A., or Defense Os the Realm Act. [ Dora is in a class by herself as a war baby. Although she died some years ago, scarcely in her 'teens, Dora has been kept alive by the cartoonists wtlo make her an old and spying individual obviously Puritan and an active anti, ready to chastise little children who would buy cough medicine for their dying parents after eight o’clock. Dora Still Blamed Dora is still blamed for her sins, if she was guilty of any. The Defense Os the Realm Act is defunct, dead and buried. But even those who admit that Dora is dead insist that her spirit lives on, and they blame Jix for it. They object to the law regulating the hours j of retail trading, which ccmes under the Shops (Hours of Closing) Act of 1928. Some of the provisions are: You cannot buy cigarettes front a tobacconist after eight p. m., hut you may buy them in a saloon until closing hour. Shop keepers may not sell a newspaper after eight o’clock, but they may be sold on the streets at any hour. Curfew rings on the sale of bloaters or kippers at eight p. m. although your fish monger is allowed to sell fried fish after that hour. You may buy a ham sandwich in a saloon, but the law denies you any pickles to eat with it. The anomalies of the law have raised a storm of public protest, for un I wary retailers are being continually fined for selling sweets or fruit or un- | cooked meat after eight o'clock- Shops • may remain open for the sale of cer- ! tain gcods, and the shop keepers are I kept busy remembering what they may and may not sell. Political Weapon The unfortunate connection in the public eye of the Home Secretary and

the dubious doubtful Dora has assumed immense political significance. The Shops Act was passed last year by general consent of all parties, but It nas become a boomerang to the Conservatives. "Jix ami Hora" ls ! ’ o,llUy implanted in the mind of the elecmate • Down With Dora" is the title of ( B. Cochran's latest and fanciest night club entertainment. Sir William is greeted by cries of "Doia" every time he makes a public address lie insists that the young lady is dead and that her name was never a favorite of his anyway, but such assertions only give new ideals to the cartoonists. "Jix and Dora." "Jlx and Dora", the phrase Is heard everywhere, and it is certainly not comforting to the Conservatives, facing a general election. Sir William's supporters pointed out that ho is no more personally responsible for the Shops Act than any other Minister, or indeed than any other member of the Commons. The present absurdities of the law were contained in the bill as agreed to in final form by all parties. The original D. O. R A. closed shops and kept lights out and people off the streets when the German air raiders flew over London almost nightly. Early closing was continued after the war under temporary acts. The present law, adopted in 1928, had the support of a majority of shop keepers and their assistants, who had little desire to return to the long work-
