H, Woods has jumped Into pugilistic managerial line-up by of- fering Jack Dempsey |1,000,000 for three boxing matches to be pro- moted by him within the next year. Doc Kearns, the champion's man- ager, admitted the ofCer was re- ceived, and stated it was acceptable, while the Woods office conveyed the iaapression the deal was sealed. Op- ponents for.Dempsey are now In or- der for proposal. The list is headed by Harry Wills, the colored heavyr weight, who appears to have an edge on all the sable scrappers. Joe Beckett is mentioned, but it is a question if the JSnglishman could create a real draw here in light of record of defeats by Frank Moran, never a topnotciier here, and his one-round dive from a punch by Carpentier. It Is possible Woods will bring Jess Willard into the ring against Dempsey. That depends on what happens to the proposed match between Jess and Floyd Johnson, a coast heavy, who he is supposed to meet in Buffalo soon.

Wabash Avenue LORRAINE NEWS OF DAILIES A new angle to bootlegging is the kickback the rum runners have to make to those keeping them sup- plied with necessities outside the three-mile limit. A booze laden craft is generally so lacking in extra space that when sales are light the boat is forced to stay off shore from a week to 10 days, which leads to a shortage of drinking water. Whence the boys, running nothing but pure water, come in for their share of the booty, which is considerable when it is learned that the liquor peddlers oftimes advance them 1100 for a day's supply. Owners of tugs have reported that more than 125 an hour can be had for sopply- ing certain ships outside the limit, and the customs ofRcial^ know of no specific law being broken, no matter how clearly illegal the prac- tice is. From 40 to 60 legitimate theatres In Berlin have shut down because of the strike of stage artists that w«>nt hilo t^rr^t Ubt Saturday a^hL A minimum wage caused the con- troversy. Leading women of the various productions paraded the streets, while acting as pickets in front of the theatres. Theatrical owners and directors have an- nounced an agreement that they will not re-engage any of the strikers within a period of five years. Magistrate Charles A.

The Authors and Compoeere Society in Paris has iasued a cir- cular to all orchestras deploring the adaptation of classical music for dancing purpose!. The plea to put a stop to the so-called abuse has been complied with by a majority of the musical organizations outside of the colored Jazz bands. The French lay the blame to New York or importa- tions from this country. A night performance at the Park music hall on Columbus circle was recently held up for 20 minutes due to a fight back stage between the English and American chonis girls in the show. The Yankee con- tingent, numbering 20, resented the presence of the half dozen English girls while so many American show girls were out of work. The trouble had been brewing for a couple of weeks.
