PIVOT BLOW LEGAL
IN THEANTIPODES
No Bole Against La Blanche, as
Jt Is Known, in Australia as
in This Country.,
While the conduct of boxing in
Australia in many ways is admirable,
it, .would appear the officials there
'ate guilty of a step backward in per
mitting the use of the pivot blow.
By general consent of boxers and
promoters in America, England and
., France, this dangcrtus ana unwar
' ranted mode of attack has been
eliminated. , There is nothing in any
rules of boxing prohibiting the pivot
blow, but it is taboo wherever ther
is a desire to elevate the Standard of
the sport. '
,' In -v answer , to a query as to
whether the pivot or La Blanche
blow 'was barred, W. F. Corbett,
speaking for Australia, said: "The
Le Blanche blow is not barredl so
far as I know, anywhere. It cer
tainly not barred in Australia. The
Stadium people are too sensible to
Jbt guilty of such a foolish move
bs barring any punch landed above
the belt and in a legitimate way.
v " s Dangerous Attack.
"The objections to the La Blanche
blow are that once it is sent out on
its mission,' there is no knowing
where or how it might finish, as oc
casionally when starting the effort
the user of this attack has his back
more or less to the boxet whose de
struction is aimed at.
"No matter how accurately the sit
uation might be gauged beforehand,
if it be possible to gauge It at all,-con-eidering
the position the .deliverer of
' the gallop is in, he might, through
riis antagonist shifting backward or
. forward, make contact with the side
of the band, the wrist or the elbow,
in which case he would run the nsk
of being disqualified. It is for this
reason that the 'blow should rarely
be used. Bringing it into service in
volves too much -risk.
"I have heard people talking about
the La Blanche blow being barred,
and I have also heard the use of the
La Blanche blow hooted. Bat there
was not, and there i not now, any
justification for protest in this con
nection. Risk to Deliverer.
, "If a boxer cares to. run the risk he
! perfectly at liberty to bring the
-pivot punch into action, and if when
it gets out of control, as it unques
tionably must; at the height , of its
swing, and the elbow or wrist lands
' instead of. the padded fist, then the
referee should immediately disqualify
the offendernot for bringing a La
Blanche blow to bear, but for deliv
iring the punch foully.1
. Veteran Ring Referee -.
Reported to Be Dying
New York, Nov. 1. Charlie White,
known throughout the country as the
" "referee of important - boxing bouts,
' who has been ill for a number of
months of a complication of diseases,
was reported today to be dyrflg at
his home. 'White's last (appearance in
the ring as a referee, was at the

New Yo?k, Nov. 1. Prices crum
bled again in the stock market today,
chares of recognized value as weir as
speculative issues falling . to lowest
levels of the year. In- several note
worthy instances prices of the fore
noon represented sninimum quota
tions of five to twenty years, v.
The same influences which recently
provoked feverish liquidation were
again operative. The Italian situa
tion and the enormous tax exactions
of the federal government as shown
by the heavy appropriations nade by
railroads and industrial corporations
were the principar factors.
Selling was on a larger scale than
at any recent session. Commission
houses contributed to the decline by
further closing of accounts for out-of-town
customers. United States
Steel was the overshadowing feature,
declining 4 points to 96 in the first
two hours. , .
Other ', industrials, including - the
prominent war issues, were .2 to 5
points under yesterday's final quota
tions. Rails also were offered in
i such volume as to suggest further en
forced liquidation, iwtment shares
yielding I to 4 points up to noon.
Safes .were " estimated at 650,000
shares.' - ' 't ,

RED FABER PRIZE
FROM THE WESTERN
Eastern Ivory Hunters Looked
at Hun Loner Time Before
Decided He Was
Worth Trial.
They
Des Moines, la., Nov. 1. A $1,500
pitcher won the 1917 world's cham
pionship, addfd $115,000 to the cof
fers of the Chicago White Sox club
and made Charles A. Coniiskey, owner
of a team in line to pick up many
more thousands during the comifig
season.
Urban Faber, known in polite base
ball circles as Red, isihe hurler whom
Comiskey purchased for a pittance. In
1913 Faber was pitching for the local
tgam in the Western league and was
making opposing batsmen look like
revolving storm doors. He hurled
wonderful ball and when the casual
ties were cor.ioiled after the season's
campaign it was found that he had al
lowed only 2.48 earned runs a game
and led the league in strikeouts by a
wide margin.
While the Des Moines hurler, as
sisted by Clint Rogge, was pitching
Des Moines into second place Fr'atik
Isbell and Tom Fairweather, owners,
were trying to peddle him to divers
ivory hunters who frequent these
parts every summer.-
Scouts Pass Up Faber.
The scouts were perfectly willing to
follow Des Moines about the circuit
and give Faber the up and down, but
when it came to buying him there
was nothing doing. Absolutely noth-,
ingl 'Faber had been in the major
league once, had been weighed in
scales of a spring training trip and
found wanting. Their employers
didn't send them out to look for has
beens, or men who had failed in for
mer years.
Meantime Frank Isbell raved. He
knew Faber was a major league
pitcher, nd, besides, he needed the
money. A major league pitcher
wouldn't do him any good and the
money would., The. time for the draft
drew near and it was 'a certainty
some major league club or some class
AA club would draft Faber. In those
days the draft price was only $1,000.
1 $1,500 Commy's Top Price.
The day before the dfait opened
Isbell boarded a train Chicago bound,
gained an audience with Comiskey,
and presented his case, at tle same
time giving his candid opinion of all
base ball scouts.
"Commy" wasn't in a generous
mood that afternoon, but he was
charitable. He- offered to give Isbell
$1,500 for Faber. He was certain
the sum was a donation, but he didn't
care about that, for Izzy had worked
long and faithfully for him and was
worthy. , '
Isbell didn't mind havihg $1,500
thrust upon him. He was only dis
appointed at the amount and also
peeved at Comisktfy's attitude in con
sidering $1,500 for a $15,000 pitcher,
a gift, so he made a counter proposi
tion: That the White Sox pay $1,500
for Faber and if he failed to make'
good, no pay.
Wanted by McGraw.
This was accepted y Comiskey,
who then took Faber on tfle tn
around the world with the Giants and
White Sox in the fall of 1913 to give
him a tryout. Faber proved the
pitching star of the trip.
John McGraw's efforts to purchase
the former Des Moines hurler failed,
as it proved to his sorrow for with
out Fabor or sqme twirler of equal
ability the White Sox could not have
beaten the Giants for the world's title
this fall. ,
Sljp Costs Scout His Job.
Faber proved a winner for Chicago
at once, and as a direct result one
major league scout lost k:s job. There
is no need to give' his name Here, but
he was employed by the WasLrgtoii
Americans. Clark Griffith, the Wash
ington manager, fired the scout be
catise he had followed Faber in the
Western league for nearly three
weeks and had then labeled him with
the n. g. sign.

Washington, Nov. 1. The Nor

STATE RED CROSS
CONVENTION ENDS
Closing Sessions Devoted to
General Discussion of Work
by Leaders of Central
Division.
The Nebraska Red Cros's conven
tion closed its v session at the Hotel
Fontenelle Thursday afternoon and
the delegates left for their homes
early in the evening.
No business of importance relative
to the association came before the
conference, the entire time being
chiefly devoted to a general discus
sion of the work by leaders of the Red
Cross from the x headquarters of the
Central Division in Chicago.
J. b. Dillman of Chicago lea a gen
eral discussion of civilian relief and
accounting. Mr. Dillman outlined
cases the Jed Cross should endeavor
to care for, urging members when in
doubt of a charity case to accept it
rather than refuse.
The general purpose of the confer
ence, that of informing the delegates
of the latest methods being adopted
by the Red Cross to further its war
work, and getting the members better
acquainted is believed by Red Cross
officers of the Nebraska chapter to
have accomplished its purpose.

Evidences of Royalist
Move Found in Paris
Paris, Wednesday, Oct. 31. The
Temps prints what is apparently an
inspired statement of the govern
ment's proceedings against the royal-1
ist newspaper l'Action Francaise,
whose editor, Leon Daudet, recently
made charges of treason against
Louis J. Malvy, former minister of
the interior. It says that the govern
ment has received information lead
ing it to ' believe that the royalist
movement was preparing to act
against the government. The matter
was plaeed in the hands of the mili
tary authorities and the Department
of Justice, in order lo throw light on
this as well as on other cases under
investigation.
A search showed, the Temps added,
that the information received concern
ing arms was exaggerated, but that
the plan of mobilization of the 1' Ac
tion Francaise leagues was found. It
was dated during 1913-14 and it is
known that a 'collection of indices
was found bearing dates during May
and June of 1917. The Department of
Justice is nowi trying to ascertain if
there was any connection between the
indices and the plan of mobilisation.
It is said that the government does
nqt comtemplate arresting any direc
tors of the leagues.
The Temps says that the arms
seized in Paris and the departments
totaled 13 "automatic revolvers, 154
knucklers, 62 loaded canes, 25 clubs
and 300 cartridges.

EXPLAINS WORK OF
ECONOMIC AGENTS
Mrs. A. E. Davisson of Wash
ington, D. C, Tells How Solv
ing of Home Problems Win
. Help Win War.
Why congress passed the emergency
educational and demonstrtional bill,
providing for urban and rural agents,
aftor the Hooverfood control went
into effect, was explained to represent
atives of all women's clubs in the city
council chambeY Thursday afternoon
by Mrs. A. E. Davisson of Washing
ton, D. C, formerly; with the home
economics department of the state
university.
Mrs. Davisson gave concerts ex
amples of the work these agents will
do solving home problems, planning
menus, distributing household
budgets, making over old clothing and
co-operating with the Red Cross in
civilian relief work. The Lincoln
agent has started a fuel conservation
campaign. Local furnace men have
opened their shops to teach women
how to bank fires and operate drafts
in order to save coal. Shutting off
unused rooms to save heat is also
advocated. '
Feel Responsibility.
Extravagant though women may be
in their fashions, Mrs. Davisson ex
pressed the belief they would feel
the responsibility of war. "You will
not buy wool or wear high leather
boots when these articles are needed
by our soldiers and you will not eat
too much candy or sweets when you
realize our men abroad will enjoy it
more."
Mrs. Davisson advocated the estab
lishment of skim-milk stations; the
continued support of home charities
despite contributions to war funds;
the support, of hot school lunch sys
tems; conservation of national re-'
sources, abandonment of hunting to
save ammunition and game; saving
the birds in order that they may
protect food from insects and the
extermination of 'rats and mice all
Conservation methods. '
G. W. Wattles, federal food ad
ministrator; Miss Maud Wilson ' o(
Lincoln, home director, and, Mrs. F.
H. Cole were other speaker!
Minotto Hearing
May Be Extended;
New Evidence In
Chicago, Nov. 1. New leads for
further disclosures in the case of
Count James Minotto, charged , with
pro-German activities and at liberty
under $50,000 bond, made it probable
today that the hearing,' which was
expected to be concluded before
night, would be extended for 10 days
or more. , '
Dr. Percy L. Prentiss, Chicago im
migration commissioner, and.C. H.
Paul, inspector, before whom the
hearing yesterday was held, refused
to disclose any of the reasons for
the continuation.
These officials also refused to di
vulge the nature of the testimony
adduced from Mrs. Ethel "Eldridge,
wife of Chauncey Eldridge, a New
York engineer, who appeared as a
witness after it was learned she was
acquainted with Minotto during his
sojourn in South America, at which
time it is charged ne was on intimate
terms with Count von Luxburg, the
German ambassador to Argentina,
whose intrigues recently threatened
the neutrality of Sweden.

pledges.
Food pledge cards, will not be dis
tributed in the theaters, but in the

"Four-Minute" nen, Boy Scouts will
be stationed and as the people pass
out, the cards will be handed to them
to be signed.
The cards are addressed to the

government frank, go free of postage.

is to end Saturday night, to make
it one of the 100 per cent cities of the
United States.
