' "For various reasens, I have decided to postpone the Dempsey-Willard match until 'Labor Day." said Rickard "While both Dempsey and Willard are Killing and eager to observe the orgi nal contract and meet in Madison Square Garden on March 17,. I have de cided that the contest had better be staged in the open following the Dempsey-Carpentier match of July 2. "The' surprising demand for tickets for the Dempsey-Willard bout makes it clear that the garden would accom modate but' a fraction of those who desire to see the bout- Willard has absolute confidence in his ability to re gain the championship and has im pressed many followers of boxing. A demand has been created that he be matched with the winner of the Dempsey-Carpentier bout. , "I- shall, therefore, erect a large open air arena for the international contest and stage a match between Willard and the winner of- the Dempsey-Carpentier bout under the exist ing contract on September 5. This change of date is made with the con sent and approval of both Dempsey and Willard." Lrnifi Matched KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Feb. 2. Ed.

The above four teams, with Jack Mc Eachern, Donald Koonce, Henry Hugins and William aL.Ua, respectively, as cap tains, have just completed a practice schedule of basketball games. All the boys in the intermediate' gym class at the Y. M., C. A. were elieible to . play on the teams, and the .object .was to gam more skili and to. get acquainted with the playing ability of the different boys in the class, so that when. the final series was played , the best players would be known. The series ended with the game played ' afterv gym class on Tuesday. The Copperheads andthe Boa Con strictors will play off the tie game after gym class on Thursday, ars a win by the Boa Constrictors will tie them with the Rattlesnakes for first place in the league and give them a chance for another same with the "rattlers." The same captains have already chosen the new team members for the final series, and will be able to start Saturday morning, when twoA games will be played. Selections of the cap tains were as follows; William Latta, captain; Graham Berkheimer, Henry Brenner, Foster Ed wards, Douglas Kelly. Tolson Cockey, Alex. Grant, Dudley Humphrey. Paul Staratt, Thomas Wright. . Jack McEachern, captain; Edwin Cathell, Merlin Creasy, Everett Huggins, Jack McCaley, Graham McNair. Duncan Whitted. Alfred Gunnerson.

Henry Hugglns, captain; Fred Haar. William Hobbs, Thomas Mclntire, Ken neth Scott, Albert Davis,. George Left wich, David McLaughon, Arthur Butler. Every boy In the Intermediate class is entitled to a place on a team, and, if his name has not been placed on the list. It Is probably because he has not been to" class lately,. The older business boys are playing a series in the same manner, and the winning team is to play off with the winner in the Intermediate class for the championship of the boys' division and the division champions will have the opportunity of representing the local "Y" against an outside team, if a game can be arranged.

Glllen, former executive assistant to the board's chairman, was entered in testimony today by Captain Paul Foley, director of operations of the emergency feet corporation, efore the house committee 'investigating ship ping board operations. Captain Foley testified that "mislead ing and untrue" statements had been made by Mr. Gillen In his testimony before the committee.-- - ; Proposals which would have solved the fuel oil 'bunker problem df thfc American merchant marine-for the next Ave years, were blocked by the Inter ference of Mr. Gillen, he said. The witness explained that as head of the tank steamer department he submitted to the shipping board "as of May 4, 1920 a considerable statement of the fuel position obtaining through out the world,, together with proposals which if adopted would have secured the -bunkering problem of the American nierchant marine for a period of five years to come." . These failed of acceptance, he added, "because of the opposition of Mr. Gil len," "The malicious Interference In the affairs of the tank steamer department begun at that time." he continued, "wa, Intensified and fanned Into, a flame by my absolute denial as director of operations of Mr. Gllleri's competency to discuss matters of vessel's opera (Continued from Page One) the market for yarns for which there has been an increased demand and a resultant increase In prices." The re port from the Boston district says: "As a whole a very real effort has been made to place values on such a level that buyers will feel that the stabiliza tion so necessary to attract a normal demand, has been attained". Quota tions upon standard cloths for the sec ond week in January indicate, in fact, that price reductions in manufactured goods have outrun the decline In raw materials. Some shoe factories in the Boston district have been reopening "with the result that the leather market has reg istered some price advances." It would i appear that the drastic declines In the prices of hides "have been arrested dur ing January and calf skins have even advanced slightly." ' Bottom Is Reached The foregoing analysis confirms the oft-repeated statement made In thesei dlsaptches during the last month that the bottom has been reached in prices In .many lines and that slight advances may be expected. The federal reserve board quoted a report from the St. Louis district to the retail trade: "The public Is as discriminating as hereto fore but is purchasing where prices seem to square with the idea of cheap ness." Buying in every line, in other word depends upon- satisfactory evidence that the bottom has been reached. The federal reserve board statement shows that generally speaking this month should see an even greater revival of business than was manifest in either December or January. Crude Oil Cheaper Crude petroleum production has shown a decrease both in the Kansas City' and Dallas districts as well as the Texas coastal fields. Inadequacy of pipe line and storage facilities are given as the principal reasons, how ever, but indications are that new pipe lines being completed in central west Texas and other districts will help to revive production. The Iron and steel industry shows "a marked 'increase in competition for new business." The independent com panies have reduced wages 15 to 2P per cent. The United States Steel cor poration, however, has made- no changes in wages. The latter Is "op erating at practically full capacity in the Pittsburgh district and at over 80 per cent of finishing capacity in the Chicago district. Among the non-fereous metals the market "has been helped by the re covery In sterling exchange." There has been some improvement "In the cotton textile Industry in New England during January especially in the market for yarns for which there has been an increased demand and a resultant increase ln prices." The report from the Boston district says: "As a whole a very real effort has been" made to place values on such " ft1-level ' that buyers will feel that the stabilization to necessary to attract a normal de mand, has been attained. Quotations upon standard cloths for the 'second week in January indicate, In fact; that price reductions in manufactured goods have out run the decline In. raw materials. . . :: ': ; - ; - : Newest Discovery Experiments at Dr. Pierce's Hospi tal in Buffalo, N.
