Rut did any one ever mix In a Imnch
if pugilistic f annm 9 and hear any more
enthuslaaltj lulng thun tho Rlove
wleldeis tan turn loo 10? The answer Is
"in'." for th old-time fighters are Just
as talkative a tribe as ever could be
Kotten together.
Recently a bunch of fljihters, paat,
present anil fmm got together In a
prominent gymnasium, and after ftRht
without number of years ago lnul been
masticated ta the king's taste, 0110 of the
bunch propounded a question of natural
interest:
"What beiomes of the fighters when
their days of 'activity iri tho ling are
at an end?"
The Question net everybody thinking,
nnd In order to answer It wan necessary
to "take cuaes" on some of the fighters
nhfi In the last few years have left the
ring for all time.
H was discovered that a BToat many of
the pugilists bad become policemen. In
I'hlcago, th home of many of the best
fighters who ever stepped between the
ropes, there are many of the former glove
vt'ielders who now swing a club Instead
of the maul lei.
Remember Martin Duffy, who was one
of the topnotch lightweights of his time,
which was only n, few years ago. Duffy
in bo found any night In Chicago
traveling a beat. He isn't a lightweight
any more, but has Joined the tieavy
welght class. Duffy certainly was a star
at cleverness, something like Tacky Mo
Karland.
Moffat Swing a Clnb.
Jack Moffat, the middleweight, who
ponseesed class, but failed to become a
champion, partly because ho dislocated a
t-houlder In a fight, la a policeman and
travels a beat over Chicago streets.
Moffat met the brilliant Tommy Ryat
more than once in tho ring, and Tommy
always gave Moffat credit for being a
fighter of the first water. The bad arm
finally stopped Moffat's ring career and
he donned the suit of blue as p. means
of livelihood.
Jimmy Barry, the wonderful little cham
pion of the ring in his day, also Is living
In. Chicago. Jimmy qontlnues to make
fi lends Just as he always did, and Is earn
lng a living with something besides swing
ing on the other fellow's jaw. Barry
spends the summer months working in
the public playgrounds, where be is con.
sidered a huge success.
. "Kid" Herman, another Chicago light
weight. Is a real business man and suc
cess has brought him plenty of the
nhekels. The "Kid" Is In Seattle, Wash.,
where he Is proprietor of a florist's
shop. Herman almost reached the pin
nacle of fame, the obstacle in his path
being; that Wonderful colored fighter, Joe
Cans, .now dead.
" Joe "Ch&fhskl;" who baa made Chicago
bis home for' many years after leaving
California, has earned a living, and a
pood one, too; by teaching the game that
iKaJe him famous. Choynskl now Is box
ing Instructor, at the millionaire athletic
club f Pittsburgh. Previous to leaving
Chicago',' he conducted a physical culture
rchool, and, also was instructor at the
Illinois Athletic club.
Tommy Vhite, who gained fame by his
great fights wltfc; "Terrible Terry" Mo
iovern, still holds forth in Chicago. For
the last couple of .years he has been em
ployed In construction work on a big
underground telephone tunnel.
The once great Australian middleweight,
George Dawson, who fought many battles
of note. Is boxing instructor at the Chl
apo Atletlc association.
Then there Is Kddle San try, who at one
time claimed the featherweight cham
pionship. Eddie a couple of years ago
was proprietor of a saloon, but now is
officiating as referee of bouts In Wis
consin cities. ' J

Europe Likes the
Flush Side Cars of
the Latest Type
W. 1 1, l.'mocd. designer for tho It. 11.
Franklin Manufacturing company, the
manufacturers of the Franklin automo
bile In Syracuse. X. V.. has Just returned
from a European trip made for the pur
pots of studying the development of auto
mobile body dpeigii in Germany, France
and England.
Concerning automobile body develop
ment In Europe, Mr. Kmond said:
"The flush-skied body and the sloping
type of hood seem to have the predomin
ance of favor among all European manu
facturers and It Is interesting to note the
way the various designers are going at It.
"England has led In the development of
the flush-sided type and France seems to
be the last one In line. This mny be due
to a Miiall amount of 'pique because the
French designers do not like to admit that
the.y are following any otryrs.
"rn Germany even thing Is flush-sided
and the Germans are also carrying the
matter of the scuttle front to the ex
treme. One of the most popular types
now seen In Germany has a scuttle to
both the front and rear seats, the buck
of the front sent being developed Into a
scuttle design. Concerning the matter of
placing the control levers Inside or out
side of the body, there Is a wldo diver
gence of opinion, but the practice which
obtains to the greatest extent Is that of
P'lttlng the shift goor lever lnsldo lliu
body, the emergency brake lever outside.
American Cars Show
Best in Big Races
A close analysis of the seventh annual
race for the Vanderbllt cup, held on the
seventeen-mile Chatham county course,
shows it to be a great victory for Amer
ican cars. lifted against some of the
most noteworthy cars of the European
continent, the American built cars ex
celled In every particular. Chief credit
Is due to the Lozler team, with Mulford
finishing first and establishing a new
world's road race record, and Harry
Grant twice winner of the races tor the
Vanderbllt cup, pulling up In fourth posi
tion. Mulford ran a beautiful race in his
white Ioslr and well deserved the vic
tory he won.
NEW HUPMOBILE HAS
MANY UNIQUE FEATURES
The latest offering of the Hupp Motor
Car company a thirty-two horse power,
long-stroke, five-passenger touring car
embodies many features new toi this
country, and Is also stamped unmistak
ably with the same Individuality that has
always characterised the Hupmobilcs.
, The new model is by E. A. Nelson, the
creator of the original Hupmobile run
about, who has been responsible for the
unique style and character of the Hup
mobile line from the outset.
Body, cowl and hood have tho appear
ance of an Integral piece, and show the
pronounced sweeping effects of straight
line construction.
The wheel base Is 106 inches and the cen
ter of gravity Is exceptionally low, thus
making for steady balance and tire
economy.
Great pulling power at all speeds, ab
sence of noise and Vibration, economy of
fuel and oil are some of tils advantages
claimed for the small-bore, long-stroke
motor. This unique design Is in high
favor among the foremost European en
gineers, but has never before been ap
plied to an American car.
The pressed steel frame la unusually
aturdy for a car of this blze. It Is so de
signed as to harmonize v-ith tho body
lines. The frame Is of pressed steel, the
body of sheet metal. Has very deep up
holstery and provides ample room for
five passengers. Mud guarOV, running
boards, and all equipment are spcclwlly
made for the car and hartnenixs with the
rest of the design. Every fart is spe
cially built for this ear alone, and the
assembly forms a compact, efficient ma
chine that Is as nesr perfect as I he nil,-,
ers are able to produce.
CADILLAC IS WINNER
IN ECONOMY TEST
A Cadillac touring car, carrying five
persons and driver by its owner, won
first prize In the owners' class in the
recent economy test of the Harrlsburg
(Pa.), Motor club.
The contest covered one day and roads
In five counties around Harrlsburg. It
was for gasoline consumption only. From
start to finish, the gasoline tank of each
car was sealed, and at the end of the
run, the amount of gasoline used was
noted. The Cadlliaa performance may be
considered remarkable, inasmuch as the
car cairied flvo and consumed only six
gallons, one quart of gasoline for the en
tire day's run through a mountainous
country and over roads in the poor con
dition usual in November.

Export Trade in
Autos Increases at
a Very Rapid Rato
If the expert tnin ... . of the Mltchell
f.ewis Motor ronii'uiiY is any criterion
of the general comllllors governing the
exportation of A met lean cars, the I'lilteil
States Is not losing prestige In the world
wide distribution of automobiles. Over
$1.iW.000 In export orders have been taken
and there is scarcely a civilized country
that has not absorbed some .Mitchell cars.
From the hot sands of the Soudan In
Africa to the frigid Alaskan country
Mitchell motors arc performing, carry
ing the message of the supremacy of the
I'nlted States In manufacturing.
It seems to bo a fact that American
mado motor cats of the medium priced
class are beyond competition; foreign
manufacturers do not seem to know how
to produce in quantities.
PHANTOM AUTO'lN TOWN
Appearance In VHUze I'parta Staid
(Itlaeaa anil Threatened
Scrluas Iteaalts.
There was dire confusion In the police
station of the village of Drtnkwater.
Seven prominent oliiiens In seven differ
ent states of wild excitement stood befors
the magistrate, holding gingerly In their
hands seven dangerous-looking dynamite
bombs. After they had vainly endeavored
for sumo minutes to tell their stories all
at once, his honor, HPisi-d with an Inspira
tion, raised his voice above the din und
suggested that'' their complaints be de
livered In monologue form.
This Idea finally being unanimously up
proved, the village banker recited hl.t ex
perience. "Judge," he said, "on hour ngo
while 1 was at home eating my noonday
meal a man, dressed as a chauffeur, rang
my doorbell. I went to tho door myself.
The man stated that his automobile had
become stalled by reason of a bit of dirt
that had clogged the feed pipe connecting
his carbureter, and requested that 1 pro
cure a hairpin for him. He stepped Into
the hall as I hurried to get what he de
sired from a nearby room. When I re
turned he had disappeared, but there was
a smell of burning powder. IxKiklng about
I saw this bomb In the corner near the
door. I stared at It a moment, too fright
ened to move. I plainly saw the fuse at
tached to It, but as It seemed not to be
burning, I stepped nearer and founS that
it had gone out. With a gasp of relief t
rushed to the doufr, opened it, and saw
the chauffeur In his car Just getting under
way. I ran after hlrn, ordering him to
stop, but he paid no heed and had soon
turned a corner, I noted, however, that
his car was of the small runabout type,
violet in color, and that the license num
ber was 32.689. I then picked up this
bomb and rushed here."
The village parson then told his story,
which differed only In a few minor. de
tails. He expressed himself as positive
that his visitor looked like a business man
and had gray hair, that the rimalmiit was
Indigo In color, and that the number was
26.8U3. Then followed In quick succession
the testimonies of the school principal,
druggist, general merchant, attorney and
Jeweler, who had had similar experiences
all within from five to ten minutes of
each other, but in no case did the appear
ance of the owner of the car, its color or
number agree. In tho order named, each
swore In turn that It was blue, green, yel
low, orange and red, and that the number
was 68,932, 89,326, 93,268, 8U.239 and 29,863.
The magistrate at once telephoned to
residences on every thoroughfare leading
from the village, appointing citizens living
In the various residences as deputy mar
shals and ordering them to Intercept
every automobile outward bound and hold
It until It could be examined by a squad
consisting of the seven citizens who
manned the banker's machine for the cir
cuit of the outposts. But Investigation
proved that no power vehicle of any de
scription had passed Trom the town lie-,
tween the time of the attempted outrages
and the arrival of the citizens, with the
exception of an Innocent-looking motor
cycle, which had been allowed to pass un
challenged. ' '
The mystery proved Impossible of solu
tion, althongh every nook and corner was
ransacked for clues. Famous detectives
were Imported, but were forced to confess
themselves beaten. A week after tho
occurrence each of the seven citizens re
celved by mail a large envelops bearing
the postmark of a city many miles dis
tant, and containing large and perfect
photographs of the Interiors and the front
halls of their residences. They were per
fect reproductions of their subjects, with
one notable exception. In each picture
there appeared hanging on the wall some
object that the owner of the house had
never possessed. In one case It was a
deer's antlers, In another a painting In a
heavy gold frame, in the third a large
wooden spoon, and so on. The seven cit
izens met together and conferred on the
night of the arrival of their anonymous
gifts. On comparing pictures they dis
covered that the nonexlstlng hall decora
tions that they had thought they had
seen In the morning were not In tho
photographs at all.
The result was that the next niorning
the village occullst did more business
than he had done during his two years
of practice In Drinkwater. He examined
the eyes of each of the seven citizens,
found esch suffering from serious and
peculiar optical diseases, prepared a treat
ment for them, and made appointments
with them for the same time one week
