New York, Dec. 18.—Justice Geiger- ich in the supreme court here today upheld a three-year contract between Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight pu- gilist, and John Reisler, giving to the latter exclusive control of Dempsey's boxing contests and exhibitions. Reisler brought suit to compel per- formance of the contract on Dempsey’s part. Denying a motion by the fight- er’s counsel to digmiss the complaint, the court held that the agreement, under which Dempsey was to appear exclusively under Reisler’'s manage- ment until December, 1919, was lezal inasmuch as it was made when boX- ing and sparring contests were legal in New York if conducted under the rules of the state athletic association. Reisler alleged that Dempsey had refused to live up to his part of the contract.

A prominent college coach spreads this opinion: “Mass athletics are all in; very avell keep men occupied and in faif physical trim. but in the long run competition is much the better. Mass athletics teach the men to fol- low a leader, while real games send them in there on their own hook.

But cne official will be used for the indoor game, ex- cept when the importance of a specia match obviously requirés an umpire as well as a referee.

Reports from bakers, grain _dealers and others are no longer required by the United States Iood Administra- tion. Reports of food savings are no longer required from public eating places and no more monthly report cards will be sent out. : The rule, which would have forbid- den after January 1, 1919, the sale of butter and cheese in less than one round lots, has been revoked. Cases of rejections of carloads of foodstuffs, which have been handled by the enforcement division, are grad- ually being permitted to follow their usual pre-war course and will_all be soon taken over by the proper courts. The special rules and regulations on fruits and vegetables, including po- tatoes, have been rescinded. Isidore Wite, of Hartford, state merchant representative for the food aaministration, desires all local food directors to be prepared for a possi- ble intensive campaign of poster dis- play and store window exhibits soon after the holidays and local merchants should be wwed to cooperate along lines to be explained you later. Posters, both new and oid, are sdll obtainable upon request to this office and in this cgs=mection w2 again urge {our local food directors to hold fast until more definite instructions are re- ceived from Mr. Hspver. 3 There is no safe way of telling whether or not America must Increase its pledge of 20,000,000 tons of food- stuffs to starving }urope, and it is, of course, unnecessary for us to point cut that it is' much easier to hold our present organization intact and to Toaintain the present sprrit of co- cperation and conservation than it 1s to have to reconstruct all over again. RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN IS BOOMING ‘Washington, Dec. 18.—Enthusiastic response by the American people to the membership campaign being con- dycted this week by the American Red Cross was indicated tonight in reports reaching headquarters. First definite figures on the progress of the campaign in a number of states were received today. Influenza, especially prevalent in the extreme middle west and the northwest, has not served to impede the drive to any extent, ac- cording to reports from the division headquarters. 3 The Atlantic division, comprising the states of New York New Jersey and Connecticut, tonight led in the tinued in force, and because the con- stantly changing situation has result- ed in unusual complexity of food ad- ministration rules and regulagtions, we desire to set forth categorically, the following resume of answers and ex- planations, says Robert Scoville, fed- eral food administrator: Connecticut newspapers when car- rying a story under a Hartford date line or_when quoting “Food Adminis- trator Robert Scoville” are invariably correct and authentic sources of in- formation on food administration mat- ters. The sugar restrictions for house- holds, retailers and @public eating piaces have been rescinded, but the economical consumption of ‘sugar as well as every other foodstuff is urged at least until Mr. Hoover returns from abroad and announces a more definite conservation programme. 4 Retailers should not have on hand sugar beyond a thirty days’ supply until the new sugar crop begins to ar- rive on the market about January 1. Retailers may not charge more than cne cent a pound profit on sugar and, on sales of more than one pound, the profit should be one cent times the rumber of pounds sold, the consumer getting the benefit of the fractional cents. Cereals need no longer be packed uniform packages. ‘Wholesalers may make so-called combination sales; retailers are still fcrbidden to make combination sales, The food administration’s restric- tions on Christmas candies have been rescinded, General Orders No. 8 and No. 9 for Public Eating Places, forbidding the open sugar bowl and limiting the su- gar service to four pounds per ninety meals served, have been rescinded. General Order No. 7 limiting the ser- vice of American (Cheddar) cheese is very much in force and butter should also be economically served.
