DEMPSEY NEVER DODGED HARRY WILLIS, SAYS TEX NEW YORK, Sept. 2—Jack Dempsey has never dodged Harry Will and would rather have fought Will than Gene Tunney if the boat could have been arranged, Tex Richard I reported to have said Friday. "To say that Dempsey fears Will is a joke," said the promoter. If considers him a clean-living诚实 citizen, but a second-rate fighter." At the same time the promoter, in a detailed statement defending the champion's course, revealed that his own efforts to stage a Dempsey-Will lis match were blocked two years ago after he had gone so far as to have the tickets for the fight printed. Opposition on the part of the State athletic commission then was the barrier to the match, although previously the boxing authorities had approved it. New Jersey put up a similar ban and Rickard gave up all thought of trying to hold the contest "My experience with the Jefferies-Johnson bout long ago convinced me that a Dempsey-Wills match would not be a good thing for boxing," said Rickard. "As I became better acquainted with the game and talked with persons of influence I saw no reason to change my opinion." MT. OLIVE HOLD, SESSION.

VORKER-WRITER DEPICTS LIFE OF NEGRO MAID VORKER-WRITER DEPICTS LIFE OF NEGRO MAID TO PLEASURE IN LIFE FOR 14. YEAR OLD GIRL. Among the various stories being ent to The Daily Worker, a million on Chicago, in a contest the following was awarded third prize. Maggie in a colored girl of 14. has two brothers and two sisters younger than she. Her father died leaving her mother to care for the five children. Maggie's mother works as a coo in one of Chicago's restuarants. It is very hard for them to get along with the $17 a week that she earns. Maggie's mother decided to send Maggie to work to help make both ends meet. Maggie went to an employment office. After paying a few dollars she was sent to work in a doctor's home as a maid. The docpaid her $6.00 a week and her meals. If she happens to go out on the street and starts to play with the other girls and forgets for a while that she is a maid, her mistress calls to her and says "Maggie, where are you? Come here quickly. The baby is crying." Poor Maggie then realizes that she cannot enjoy herself as the other children do but must work. She is a maid. She cannot play with the other children. She must help her mother to provided the necessaries of life to her brothers and sisters. She goes back into the house. Tends to the baby. As soon as the baby is asleep she sweeps the floors, dusts the furniture and does the other housework. During idle moments she looks hugrily out of the window wishing that she were with the other girls enjoying herself. As she looks out of the window she realizes that a life of toil lays ahead of her and that she must work hard all her life just as her mother has always done. J. FINLEY WILSON TO DIRECT ELKS J.
