Tunney After Dempsey;
Nation-wide Campaign
CHICAGO, Jan. 12.—-A nation-wide
campaign is about to be' launched
ito bring about a Gene Tunney-Jack
Dempsey match for the heavyweight
championship.
When the break came recently
in the Dempsey-Wills South Bend
negotiations the Tunney campaign
was conceived.
Hardly had 'Manager Billy Gib
son made his opening statement be
fore several American Legion offi
cials offered their support. The Le
gion, it is believed has been secret
ly nursing the Tunney idea, and
needed only Gibson’s word to get
started, Legionnaires are proud of
itheir fellow-marine, not because he
jumped into the big conflict, bgt be
cause his ring ability was developed
in service bouts and he has proved
by his victory over Toni Gibbons
that he is a championship possi
bility. They see in him a 100 per
cent champion.
Biibson’s campaign wil be direct
ed along the line that Wills already
has refused to meet Tunney, that
a mixed match is almost impossible to
stage and that (popular demand for
a Tunney bout is greater.
Gibson’s will endeavor to keep war
records out of it. He is not a mud
slinger. Tunney, also, has asked
that there be none slung.
Gene has always objected to cap
italizing the fact that he was a ma
rine. He sees no reason why his
war record should be injected into
ring affairs, or, as he puts it, "I can’t
knock out a guy with my record
and I couldn’t use it to iblock a
punch. It’s up to my fists after the
bell rings.”
This is a charitable view, char
itable to Dempsey and Wills. Looks
like it will be a hard winter for
Dempsey to dodge this determined
young man.

Dempsey An Idle Champion
for Second Year In Row
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham
pion of the world, has now been idle
so far as actual fighting is concerned
for the second full year in succes
sion. The titleholder has not engaged
in a ring bout since he defeated Luis
Angel Firpo of the Argentine in their
memorable battle at the Polo
Grounds in September, 1923. During
that year he also met Tom Gibbons
of St. Paul in a flften-round bout
at Shelby, Mont., and won the de
cision. For the past two years
Dempsey has at various times been
reported as signed to meet Harry
Wills, negro boxer and most for
midable challenger for the champ
ion’s crown, but the bout between
these two now seems as far off as
ever. Wills has now been pursuing
Dempsey for a number of years and
on July 17 of this year Demipsey ap
peared before the State Athletic
Commission to announce that he was
ready to accept Wills’s challenge for
a championship match, but, failing
to close the match, he again was
placed on the ineligible list.
INSTALLATION OF
REBEKAHS AND
ODD FELLOWS
The joint installation of the Re
bekah and Odd Fellow lodges at I. O.
O. F. hall Saturdaya night was one
of the most enjoyable meetings the
combined lodges have held for some
months. A large crowd of brothers
and sisters was present and follow
ing installation a sumptuous repast
was served, after which the members
attended the dance given by the Starr
^orchestra in the lower hall.
A list of the officers installed was
printed in the previous issue at the
time of their election.
MOUNTAIN TAKES
SECRETARY’S NAME
In honor of the memory of Henry
I C. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture
| from March, 1921, until his death in
October, 1})24, a mountain peak in
the Absaroka National Forest in
Montana, has been named “Mount
Wallace,” by action of the United
States Geographic Board.
The peak, about 10,600 feet high,
is in Pike County and is regarded
as one of the finest of the Absa
rcka Range.
NOME COUPLE
HAVE FINE TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Hoelscher, of
Nome, who arrived in town Saturday,
from Nome, were enthusiastic over
their trip by dog team from the Ber
ing Sea metropolis to Nenana. Mrs.
Hoelscher especially enjoyed the trip,
which she said was one of the best
ever experienced.
“We had fine weather,” said Mrs.
Hoelscher,” and made good time, es
pecially from Nome to Ruby. There
was little cold weather experienced
on the trip and roadhouse accommo
dations were good. We had a fine
team of dogs and a competent driver,
and sat back and enjoyed the sensa
tion of gliding smoothly over the
snow. At times the snowfall was so
light on the trail that sledding was
difficult, but after leaving Ruby we
found some 12 to 14 inches of snow
fall and had no further trouble.
We are not certain how long we
will remain in the States, but expect
to return to Nome early in the spring,
possibly on the first boat North. Per
sonally I would prefer going back
pver the trail but the Doctor has not
the time to spare.
“Nome has been quite lively the past
year in a social way, and when we
left the camp, the dog race was the
principal topic, although the snowfall
was so light it was feared it would
have to be postponed. Nome has a
fine bunch of citizens and a winter
there has no hardships and is quickly
over. We miss the green stuff more
than any one thing and while outside
nia vegetables.”
will enjoy the sunshine and Califor
Dr. Hoelscher, who is a dentist, lost
his entire outfit in the recent fire at |
Nome, and announces that he will re
place the lost outfit with one of the
most modern and up to date in the
Northland.”
SCHOONER BOXER
ARRIVES PORT
FROM SEATTLE
The schooner Boxer, Bureau of Ed
ucation vessel, under the command of
Capt. Whitlam, arrived in port this
morning at 11 o’clock from Seattle
and Southeastern Alaska bringing
over 300 tons of general cargo for
the Bureau of Education stations in
Alaska and for the Alaska Railroad.
The bulk of the cargo consists of
lumber and lime aside from the rail
road material. Owing to the limited
discharging facilities of the vessel
the railroad crane has been pressed
into service and is now being used in
unloading the cargo. It is expected
the work will continue for a couple
of days at least.
SERUM LAYS
STUDENTS LOW
PARIS, Jan. 12.—The odd case of
a woman doctor being accused of
injecting a mercurial serum in treat
ing school children, with the assert
ed result that several of the child
ren are suffering from a brain ma
lady, is being investigated by the
police of Suresnes, near Paris.
Several parents have made com
plaints against the doctor, Mme. Tob
oloswka, and state that they gave
no authorization for the serum treat
ment. The Mayor of Suresnes, who
permitted the injections, declares the
move is only political, an attempt to
force him from office.
None of the pupils were treated
during school hours. The accused
doctor states the serum was given
only to those children who manifest
ed nervous disturbances.
Half a dozen squirrels bit and
scratched a dog which had attacked
one of their number on the campus
of Harvard university. The dog had
to be treated by a veterinarian.
