By International »*« Service. Great Falls, Mont., July 3.— Jack I ampsey and Tom Gibbons will fight at Shelby to morrow for the w o r Id ' s heavy wetgnt enampion a h 1 p under an agreement reached here at 2:30 a. m. (mountain time) to day, by which Jack Kearns, manager of the champion, agreed to accept the $210,000 already paid him and take a chance of collect lng *100,000 or the first gate receipts. The announcement coming just as day was breaking through the sleepy hills surrounding Great Kails was the greatest thrill this section ever ex perienced. The announcement was brief, laconic and full of news. It said very simply: f ‘•The fight is on.” All through the night Great Kails had waited, patiently yet Impatiently. Hope rose against great odds an the hours wore on towards dawn. Word came from conference rooms where Jack Kearns was closeted with differ ent ‘•angels'1 of the fight that he was standing pat—that he demanded his f 800,000 or there would be no fight. FSu(j in the end came the Anal news that Kearns had capitulated. A wild cheer broke out when the news reached the assembled waiters. Members of the Klks lodge, In con tention here, had held a band in readiness for the news. Lullabies or dirges were ready to hit the moun tain air. So when the news came, the band masters flashed their signals, the horns blared, the drums rolled and human throats yelled. The wildest celebration within the memory of the oldest Inhabitants was under way. Through the streets of the town and through the lobbies of hotels a great procession wound its way sod cheer after cheer echoed through the hills. Into the residential district and back into the business section the serpentine throng roared and sang its way. Banners were flying and men dancing. Women in the throng added shrill sdprano notes to ths demonstration. Mrs. Mallory Victimot several Funny Dec isions in Bi" Match By VINCENT RICHARDS. National Indoor Tennis Champion. Hy Lnlvprsal Servire. Wimbledon, July S.—Americans re ceived a shock when Mrs. Molla Mal lory went down to defeat before the slice drives of Mrs. Beamish, one of the beat of England's woman players. Drawn in the same half as Mile. Lenglen, both English and American tennis fans were expecting another historic encounter between these two great players. I was astonished to find that the committee placet^ such a match on the outside courts with a single offi cial controlling the situation. Here was America’s champion play ing one of England's best on a side court with hardly a person watching What a contrast this was to the cour tesies Mile- Lenglen received from the American tennis committee. In Justice to Molla, It must be said that she was the victim of several questionable decisions. Ksperlally when Mrs. Beamish held the odd gamo on the second set a had decision lost Mrs. Mallory the set. But Molla 1* a great sport and few of the spectators were aware of the decision which virtually put her out of the match. One of the most astounding things I heard while watching the match was the statement of several Kngllsh critics that Molla had passed her best playing days. Certainly her play to day was unworthy of her previous best, but she will play several more fine championship battles before her epitaph Is written in the hall of fame. Copyright. J«22.

I think I shall go for a ride, sowewlicre nut in the country, far enough away from the arena where I will not hear the shouting.

Church Petition Denied by Board j Members Refuse to Close Schools of Omaha One Afternoon a Week. Plan to dismiss schools half a day each week to permit pupils to recpiv^ religious Instruction waf tabled Mon day night by the school board. The vote was 10 to 1. Only Max I. Walker voted against the resolution to table. Motion By Van Orsdell. Action of the board followed sub mission of a resolution by Omaha ministers, urging adoption of this plan, and a public hearing of the proposition by a special committee of the board, at which time support ers of the resolution appeared and outlined the benefits they hoped would be derived from its passage. Motion to recall the resolution from the committee and place it on the ta ble was made by R. A. Van Orsdell, member of the board. Dr. Jennie Callfas, another member of the board, said she voted "no" be cause the application was not pre sented In proper form. W. E. Reed, president of the board, declared that the applicants are di vided among themselves. “An Economic Loss.” "A leading minister told me he would not know what to do If the problem of Instructing the children were put up to him now,” he said. "It would be an econoroio loss." was the comment of Mr. Van Orsdel. D. C. Eldrege declared himself in sympathy with the purpose of the applicants, and said he would support a definite proposal. ( Other members of the board feared that they might lay themselves open to censure by reducing by one-tenth the available time for school work. < Rev. O. D. Baltsly, a member of i the committee which requested the > board of education to grant half a ' day each week for religious educa- ) tlon, conferred with other members ' of the board this morning, and later * announced that he would make no i statement until the committee has 1 again conferred with the board. ' New York : Day by Day i By O. O. McINTYRK. New York, July 4—It was in that section of Broadway that has vase line. i hair and the gay flush pf pleas ure—the Broadway of extravagant garb and vapid chatter. I aat with a man who had only recently re turned from one of the northern out posts of civilization. He knew nothing of hiprolling dances, jingling Jazx and potent drinks from tea cups. In a glum sort of silence he watched the whirl ing crowds under the glistening lights. , He saw old men kiss young girls under picture hats. He saw Jaded men grow rhapsodic under the spell of rr.ild appearing , "orange Juice.” He saw a tipsy pugilist slap a harmless fellow, who had the pallor of a cocaine addict, and who unintentionally got in hie way. He saw the uniformed policeman strolling about the tables exchanging badinage and overlooking bottles and flasks on the table. Ha saw a girl hastily pull a roll of bills from her stocking and pass It to a waiter when ( her escort left the table momenta- ' rllv. He saw visiting buyers having their fling al fandango. He saw a typical young gold-digger sniff co- ( calne. There were, too, matronly , women twirling in the arms of the f professional pander. And sexage narians thrilling to holding hands ( under the tables with flappers. These are the things he saw In a whlrlaglg age that had come since , he went away. When we departed and were again In the bustle and dash of Broadway he apparently heaved a sigh of relief. He had little i to say In our stroll to his hotel. I mused going home as to his re actions to this tawdriness of life in contrast to the clean life he had led for seven years. And I hoped to point a moral to this tale, but three nights later 1 was In the same place. And there he was. The latest delirious splash In ear rings! She was a pale and Interest ing type. A little enamel basket Oiled with green leaves and pink roses also In enamel hung from the ears by slender platinum chains. In the heart of each rose in the basket glistened a diamond. Perhaps the most famous head waiter In New York Is Charlie Jour nal. It Is said of hint he has never accepted a tip at Montmartre, where he bestows bows, various gestures and genuflections upon patrons. Charlie Is somewhat of a mystery to his Ilk. He rides In splendor In his own motor car to and from work. Perhaps the explanation Is that Charlie will not countenance the vul gar passing of money from palm to palm but has no objection to the mailed check. New York's mtdtown Is filled these days with boomlngs, explosions and deafening blasts. In a walk of two blocks there were three explosions that shook the pavements. One plate glass window fell In from the force of a blast. The old wheese that New York will be all right when It Is finished was never so apropos. There is more tearing down and building up than ever before In this section. Something must have happened to the ukulele business. In nearly nil of the shop* now that sell them there tire notices: "Buy a uktdele and we will teach you flee" Some even go so far ns to promise to teach the aspirant In five lessons.

Billy Sunday, evangelist, who stopped off in Omaha half an hour Tuesday on his way to his ranch near Hood River. Ore , paced up and down the Union station platform and denounced as ‘'foolish’’ the refusal of the Omaha school board to give up one tenth of the school schedule for religious education. The evangelist was accompanied by his wife. He was prolific of opinion on all other subjects. William Jennings Bryan he charac terized as a great man; A1 Smith, governor of New York, he calls a "chump;” he believes Dempsey wi'l beat Gibbons; and he declares that prohibition has proved a success. The evangelist and his family will spend two months at the Sunday ranch. He has just completed a series of meetings in West Vlrlginia mining camps. Gage County Storm Loss Said to Total $200,000 Wymore, Neb.. July 3—After a complete cheeking up of farmer* who sustained losses In Saturday night'* terrific hail and rain atnrm in south eastern Gage county, it is doubted if $200,000 will cover the total damage. The storm proved to he more disas trous than the one six year* ago, which destroyed corn only, while Sat urday's storm ruined wheat, com, oats, alfalfa, gardens and growing fruit. One hundred and thirty farmers In the 240 quarter sections of land in the afflicted strip lost heavily. There are thousands of dead birds and hun dreds of dead rabbits on the ground in the hailed district. Twenty farms southeast of Wymore. in addition to the eight reporting loss in Saturday night's dispatch, suffered big losses in another Storm Sunday.
