Probably the secret of the success of this bait is its extremely erratic motions. Several hundreds thousand have been sold. / Get Yours To-day The back-lash which occurs so persistent- ly when using an ordinary reel has done more to discourage the sport of casting than even that oft-mooted question: "V/hy Don't They Bite" Now we have a Reel that won't back- lash, and you don't have to thumb your line. The caster has only to learn to throw * » his bait properly. 3 The South Bend Anti-Back-Lash Reel thumbs itself with a greater precision and accuracy than can be done by the most ex- perienced angler. at ® Fully Guaranteed We haye the BIKE you'll like to take you | In the World of Sport { PROFITS: ABOUT $100,600 For "the Toledo Fight---Arena Sold o' . for $25,000, Exactly 19.650 persons paid their way into the Bayview Park Arena, at Toledo, Oho, on July 4th to see the heavyweight championship bout between Jess Willard = and Jack Dempsey.

So Referee Says in Statement Made At Toledo. ; Oliver Pecord, referee of the Wil- lard-Dempsey championship boxing exhibition at Toledo, Ohio, on July 4th, disclosed the details of , an agreement he claimed to have been demamwded by Jess Willard, to the effect that Pecord would not declare the winner if the bout went ¢he 12- round limit. ! Pecord asserted he affixed his sig- nature to the agreement the day prior to the bout on the demand of Willard, who declared he would not enter the ring unless the decision 'was left in the hands of the judges alone. n Pecord declared that Willard, fearing a Trame-up, notified Tex Rickard, promoter, that he would not go on with the fight until he was sure the Toledo official would consult with the judges before an- nouncing any verdict. Ut had heen settled praviously that Rickard and Major Rickle as judges would give the decision at <he conclusion of the bout if it went the designed number of rounds Should they disagree it was under stood that Referee Pecord would @gree with one or the other or give his own decision. That a change from the original agreement as bo procedure had been 'made was not known until Peécord divulged the information to-day. McLuckie's Lucky Golf Ball. Toronto Star: It is quite possible that the golf ball which William Me- Luckie, of Montreal, batted around the Lambton course last week to a Canadian championship, may figure | in the winning of other honors, but by a new owner and not at the Royal | and ancient game. Anyway, Alf Do- herty of the Canadas, carried the! golf ball around in his pocket Mon-1! day at Nlagara-on-the-Lake and the! W. K. Doherty rink, of which he ig a! member, got away to a gobd start on the opening day's play of the annual O, B. A. by defeating A. N. Long- street rink from Woodstock, last year's trophy winners, by the one- sided score of 22 .to 8. If that golf! ball of McLueckle's gives the Doherty | ance of the tournament, it is easy to guess the next holders of the O.B.A. trophy, Mr. Deherty was presented with 'the winning golf ball by MeLue- kie at the conclusion of his match with Turpin on Saturday, and he pri-| zes it very much. i Break Off Relations, All relations between the major and minor baseball leagues were de- finitely broken off at the meeting in New York of a committee represent- ing the National Association of Minor ues.
