OTIIHIt heavyweights are showing signs of life and perhaps we w'ill lime a ehuuee to sec the truck horses in action this winter. The old ciowd Battling Jviusk. Hill Hiennau, Hilly Misko ami Frank Moran are work ing hard and perhaps Dcinpscy will go through the btiuih before the snow is off the ground. No one would lie surprised if l-'ruiik Monin Was given a cliauep t tin title, for the blond Irishman now is in the midst of a "conic-back.'' A couple of weeks ago Moran walloped the ila. lights out of a tough guy named !('er, who had eerthing but u reputation in iistic circles. On Tuesday night he scored another gloiioiis triumph over a flashy heavyweight named Hiff Hill Mcl'mlddi, of Philadelphia. The last fuss was staged in Cumberland, but nobody knows who Hlg Hill is. Perhaps lie is one of our citizens, but his identity is a secret. Hut the dope is that -Moran will topple over a Hock of pork-and-bpanprs, and, when the opportune time comes will issue a bold iiuil defiant challenge, daring Dempsey to meet him ill the sipinreil c'uele. This will cause lots of talk and at the end the match will be staged. At that, Moran is about as good ris any of the heavyweights and should be given a f banco. As for I.eviuskj, Hieuiiaii and .Miske, Dempsey has licked all of them and can do it again. When lie boxed Hrennan lie hit Hill such a hard wallop On the chin that it sprained Hill's ankle. That was some sock. Dempsey bus been anxious to get back into the. lighting game, as the -. how business never bus appealed to him. His manager, however, insisted on uplifting the dranimei- and got away with it. Hut with this big match wlthS?' Beckttt or I'urpentier in the ofDug, Dempsey will have to cut out the stage "" and bright lights and go into training. J)l T. as teas said hefate, thr othrr shir of thr argument must sign tip before the hnut enn hr taken seriously.

Conn., on Labor Day, Ljnch getting the newspaper decisions by several miles. They say the little New Yorker knocked the tar out of the champion, and the champion said Ljnch wore a couple of horseshoes in his gloves for good luck. At any rate, it was a greut battle and Lynch had the better of it. Herman will have to step some in this bout, because he Is meeting the best boy in the bantam ranks. .Toe packs a knockout wallop and proved it In this city two years ago when lie emerged from the preliminary ranks, met JvitJ Williams and won by n knockout. Iiefore that time Lynch was working In the early bouts, but showed such promise that he wns matched with IMdie Q'Keefe. Eddie broke his arm in the third round and Joe. was declared the winner.

The latter had a good Hue -up on the floor, but they evidently had forgotten, for the time being at least, how to put the ball in the basket, and this proved their undoing. During forty minutes of play they managed to locate the in t but twice, once bv Nor man after two minutes of play and the other by Dark in the second peiied. Tho other fourteen points ntti United to Mnnagi'i Myers's (dub were the re sult(if pena'ty toases, and it was their ability to count on these shots that really kept them In the running. De Neil slum cd a woeful link of team work, while Camden, on the other hand, passed tho ball in tine fashion. Nell Deighnn was a bright and shin ing light for the home club, .with three double-linkers. Iln was rippo'eil to Nor li'iu. and tile latter scoicd once.
