LYNCH LOSES TO

While He Loses the Bout,
American Boxer Is Con
gratulated by Prince
oj Wales.
London , March 31. "Jimni"e"
Wilde, the British flyweight cham
pion, tonight defeated Joe Lynch, an
American boxer, on points in a 15
round bout.
The Trince of Wales, Prince Al
bert and Lord Lonsdale witnessed
the contest. It was a fast and stub
bornly fought battle throughout.
Wilde started a three to ne fa
vorite, but Lynch was doing ,o well
in the' ninth round that the bettirg
fell Jto even. In this and the fol
lowing rounds, Wilde was badly
shaken by heavy punishment, but
fought gamely and recovered, in the
fifteenth. The American finished
the fresher of the two, and although
Wilde won on points, he had a close
call.
The verdict was somewhat of a
surprise to many present and there
was some adverse comment. WilJe
was giving Lynch about 16 pounds
in weight.
At the close of the fight the Prince
of Wales congratulated , both nun
and said that it was by meeting-:
such as this that Anglo-Americin
friendship, which they had welcomed
throughout the war, became cement
ed for all time. ,
Polo Players Take Up
Boxing to Condition
Themselves for Play
Del Monte, Cal., March 31. Box
ing as a regular exercise is consid
ered one of the best aids to condi
tioning in order to play polo in the
estimation of a number of promi
nent polo players who are here for
the playing season with their sta
bles. According to its advocates
there is no exergise which is better
adapted for limbering the muscles,
quickening the eye and improving
the' wind.
C. Maurice Heckscher, '.he Mead
owbrook club player, believes in it o
the extent of securing a boxing part
ner with whom he puts -on the gloves
every day. Matty Flynn, the east
ern middleweight boxer, is the man
who puts the poloist through hts
pace.
Samuel F. B. Morse, former Yale
football captain, and Eric Peddey
are two other devotees of polo who
are regularly taking up boxing -o
condition them for the game.
The Del Monte polo champion
ships are scheduled to begin here
on March 29 to continue to April
13. t At least a half do'en teams
are expected to enter the events, in
cluding several of the well known
local organizations, which contain .1
number of the best polo payers on
the Pacific coast.
Coast Boxing Followers
Discouraged at Prospects
.San Francisco, Cal., March 31.
Devotees of boxing in California
who had hoped for favorable action
in the present legislature in the mat
ter of a referendum on the question
of holding 10-round bouts frankly
are discouraged in the light of the
recent confessions of crooked deal
ing made by Fred Fulton and Jack
Johnson, the heavyweight pugilists.
Opinion seemingly is inited in
the belief that the sport snould not
be made to suffer for the derelic
tions of a few, and that ways and
means should be sought to protect
the public by adequately punishing
the dishonest boxers.

NEXT ONE
OVER"
SAME OLD SYRUP:
MALARIA PARK, Fla.: Last year's pennant grabbers are going
faster than a secret through a sewing circle. We don't see how
they can keep us out of first place without an injunction. The
boys are knocking that hand grenade for a row of Eskimo milestonef.
Quinine Junction, Ga.: Although we finished in the caboose last sea
son, we have that old pennant spent already. We have a pitching staff
that Ty Cobb couldn't hit with a bass fiddle. Our baserunners are eas
ing home when the shortstop is tagging their shadows at secpnd base.
Buy your peanuts now before they jump to world series prices.
Mopeville, Tex.: A team of Philadelphia lawyers couldn't bilk the
Red Necks out of this season's championship. The boys are so full of
pepper that we have to lasso 'em to make 'cm eat. We'll finish first on
one, leg.
Bunk Station, Miss.: The team is smacking that agate so hard that
they are scaring all the birds north. Every time one of the boys lands
it sounds like a guy hitting a ripe pumpkin with a bed slat. Anything
under a three-base hit is out. We'll cop the pennant, but we don't ex
pec to make much mopey on tjje gate. The attendance will consist of
big crowds who got iri"on balls nit over center field fence.
JULY. SAME TEAMS. DIFFERENT SYRUP.
Cleveburgh: Out of the fifty cuckoos who ate their heads off down in
Malaria Park last spring not a one is left, except the ground keeper, who
was wise enough to marry the manager's gimlet-eyecl sister. We're glad
the manager only had one sister. The team has a losing average of 68
out of 70 games. It rained twice. .
Bostonatti: That crowd of meat hounds out at Zoo ark could never
grab the pennant unless they sneaked upon it in the dark. The pitching
staff couldn't throw a ball through a horse collar. Manager Gapper said
he had the cream of the league, but this' is the first time we ever lamped
the cream on the bottom ot the milk. The team's winning average is
only six short of Woody's 14 points. Three batters were canned for
swinging at a flock of sparrows. n
St. Yorkland: The only home player who reached first in June got
so dizzy that they had to nail his hat on. The club owners tied the boiler
to 36 players. The pitchers are so scared of the opposing batters that
they would pass a clothing dummy on suspicion. The base ruuners are
so slow that they still have snow on their shoes from the last blizzard in
December. Eighth place looks high for us this year.
Pittstroit: Some bae ball writer called our team a bunch of bums,
but we don't think they deserve the promotion. They're all round Shoul
dered from looking at grounders hopping through their legs. The bat
ters couldn't hit a bale of cotton with a shovel The outfielders couldn't
catch a dime in a tambourine. If a broken armed pitcher was throwing
meat balls at our batters they would all starve to death. The catchers
couldn't get the ball to second in a letter. A team average of .0049 is a
fever for this bunch.
Class Distinction Is
Taboo in Democracy
of the Sinn Feiners
London, March 31. Sinn Fein' is
probably the only political move
ment in Europe in which the dif
ference between women and men is
not only nominal, but nonexistent. It
has obviously captured the souls of
Ireland's young womanhood, and to
the fact that they march, -jiot in
separate bodies, but in the same
ranks with their sweethearts and
brothers, the movement owes SO per
cent oTits iron strength.
Sinn Fein knows and calculates
on the strength of its young women
enthusiasts. Some of them, in Dub
lin at least, are girls of good social
position who have given up "family
and fortune to join its wild, if fascin
ating ranks. For example, at the
late Richacd Coleman's public fu
neral in Dublin, there was a girl
marching at the head of one of
the principal Sinn Fein branches of
clubsand in company with two of
ficers, she was apparently in charge
of the contingent. They were prac
tically all men marchirfg behind
her a well-known solicitor, doc
tors and barristers, more than one
famous racing man, chemists and
teachers and manual workers all
sorts and conditions of men-j-yet
they evidently saw nothing unusual
in being led by a girl, and they
treated her just the same as they
treated their other officers.
During the general election Sinn
Fein women played a surprisingly
prominent official part. In the rebel
countess' constituency most of the
work was done by women: and in
Alderman Tttomas Kelly's there
was a young woman in charge of
his central committee rooms, who
seemed to have the election laws at
her finger ends. Later she was sworn
in as an impersonation agent in
a city ward the only female in a
squad of about 40 men. And this
girl is typical of the women and of
the place they hold in Sinn Fe,'n.
Democracy, too, is the very life
of Sinn Fein women. It is not at all
unusual to march side by. side with
your coal man ; or for a mistress to

or manifest. A woman may hold the
hig-hest post in the organization.
She might, for instance succeed De
Valera; but neither a pretty face
nor family influence nor aristocratic
rank would be of the slightest help
to her in influencing the Sinn Fein
ers. -
Perhaps nowhere 4s the mystery
of this movement and of Ireland
herself so exemplified as in Graf
ton street. Beautifully dressed wo
men, wearing regimental badges,
perhaps, with officers in uniform,
pass shoulder to shoulder and sit
side by side at tea with pretty rebels
wearing republican badges and col
ors, and with volunteer escorts.
Autoists Demanding
Performance from Cars
Automobile owners, as well as au
tomobile manufacturers, are putting
into practice lessons learned during
the war, according to W.. L. Killy,
Lexington distributor.
"While builders of cars were tak
ing advantage of developments in
engineering brought forth under the
stress of the times, motorists were
learning to value-performance above
?il else in . a car," declares Mr.
Killy.
"This is evident from the fact that
they demand consistent proof of the
car's utility before buying. They in
vestigate performance first and look
at lines afterward. The day of buy
ing a car for appearance sake alone
is past."

Automobile Race
Barcelona, Spain, March 30. The
great Partridge mountain race, the
premier event of the year in all
Spanish motordom, was being run.
With the sun not yet in sight, 12
great speed creations were hurling
themselves along the treacherous,
winding road, through a dangerous
mist, toward Spain's "top-o'-the-world"
the cloud-capped peak of
Partridge mountain.
Breathlessly the little group of
men and women at the foot of the

Car went over on a turn. Mechani

his voice, for Jose, who drove a
high-powered Italian ar, was a pop
ular favorite with the villagers.
Silently the seconds passed and,
before the contest was half finished,
only five cars were left, the others
being strewn in splintered heaps of
wreckage along the treacherous
road. It was a saddened little group
at the shrine which waited the final
result which came from the watcher
at the telephone after the time of
the contestants had been computed.
"Luis Carreras, in Hudson Super

of cheers greeted the sun, visible for

Wrestling promoters at Daven

up for a match over there in the
near future. It is doubtful that the
Papillion carpenter will take on a
match in the Iowa city as he is par
ticularly busy aiding the booze
hounds in Sarpy county just now.
Charlie is the sheriff, by gosh, in
that there county and he just nat
urally hasn't got time to train for
any mat bouts now. He couldn't
even go on for his manager, Jack
Lewis, at one of the Omaha shows.
The former welterweight cham
pion, Ted Lewis, has entered a New
York hospital for a thorough exam
ination. Both he and his friends be
lieve that he is the victim of some
sort of sickness that is sapping his
strength and staying power and that
it has been gaining on him for a long
time. Some of his friends claim that
it was the cause of his recent loss
of the title to Jack Britton. Sick or
not sick, it is dollars to stale dough
nuts that Lewis will never regain
the welter crown as long as Jack
Britton owns it. He will probably
get chances enough at it, but he will
never be able to topple that cham

Nebraska Senator Thinks
Submission of All Disputes
to Tribunal Would Raise
Storm of Objection.
WashingtoiCMarch 31. -Disagree
ment, as to the necessity of the six
amendments proposed by Elihu Root
to the league of nations constitu
tion was expressed tnniirht in a
statement by Senator Hitchcock, Ne-
Draska. ihe amendments proposed
by Root and contained in a letter to
Will Havs. rennhliran natinnal rnm-

a statement hv Senator Hnrah.
Idaho, an onoonent of the nronosed

DOIIlt ot Knot
Asserting that the statement of
Koot was entitled "to the highest
Consideration." Senator Hitrhrnrk
expressed the belief that his proposal
tor compulsory submission of all dis
putes including those of "national
honor" and "vital interests" to an
international tribunal for trial would
raise "a storm of objection" in the
senate and would be going further
than other nations would care to go.
Should Be Divided.
The amendment proposed by Mr.
Root reserving the Monroe Doc
trine and American questions, in
cluding immigration, should at least
be divided, the Nebraska senator
said, as one nortion of the amend
ment treats of an international pol
icy and the other a domestic policy.
The Monroe Doctrine, Senator
Hitchcock said. is extended to the
entire world by the proposed cov
enant and specific inclusion is not
necessary, as "our notice to the
world still stands that we will regard
it as a cause of war . if any nation
attempts forcible aggression on the
western hemisphere."
"As to Root's proposition that
questions of a domestic character
like immigration should be definite
ly excluded from the league's juris
diction," said Hitchcock, "I agree
with him, although not in the word
ing of his amendment. I am quite
certain that only international ques
tions can be considered, but that
matter can easily be made .clear and
I believe it will be."

RATHBUN 'PARDON
CASE PROBE TO
END TO WEEK
Investigation by Judiciary
Committee of Iowa House
Nearly Finished, According
to Des Moines Reports.
Des Moines, la., March 31. This
week will see the end of the Rath
bun pardon case investigation by the
judiciary committee of the Iowa
house of .representatives, according
to present plans. The house may re
ceive a committee report on the mat
ter Friday or Saturday.
When the committee resumes its
investigation tomorrow afternoon,
further witnesses will be examined
with regard to the methods em
ployed by H. M. Havner, attonty
general, and other state counsel in
setting aside the pardon and sending
Krnest Rathbun to Anamosa re
formatory. Most of the inquiry so far has
dealt with Gov. W. L. Harding's ac
tion in pardoning the youth before
he had served a day of his life sen
tence for criminal assault, but the
final sessions last week switched to
a new phase-the part Havner
played in the matter.
The resolution adopted by the
house ordering the investigation
called for the fullest inquiry not
only into the governor's reasons for
freeing the young man, but also into
the methods employed by Havner
in gaining revocation of the pardon
through an "agreement" with young
Rathbun.
May Recommend Censure.
Close observers of the investiga
tion are predicting freely the prob
able course the committee's recom
mendations to the house will take,
and among the four Des Moines pa
pers there is absolute unanimity of
professed belief that impeachment
proceedings will not be mentioned,
but, they predict? the committee un
doubtedly will recommend censure
of both Governor -Jlarding and At
torney General Havner, the former
for acting hastily in granting the
pardon without fullest investigation,
and the latter for entering into an
alleged "bargain" that sent Rathbun
to the reformatory and caused the
quashing of indictments voted by
the Ida county grand jury against
his brother and father and his attor
ney, George Clark.V
Governor Harding has admitted
in testifying before the committee
that he did not investigate the case
on his own initiative, but relied on
information furnished by Clark, to
gether with the records of the trial.
He admitted further that had he in
vestigated for himself, he would
have concluded Rathbun was guilty
as charged, and would have refused
a pardon. ,
Just what knowledge, if any, the
governor had of the alleged "bar
gain" setting aside the pardonhas
not been brought out, and possibly
may come up before the investiga
tion is completed. H. W. Byers,
special committee counsel, severely
arraigned Attorney General Havner,
Clark and others Who were parties
to the alleged "bargain." and which,
Bvers said, sent "Rathbun to the
penitentiary to save Clark."
While the attention of the public
has been centered in the investiga
tion, both branches of the legisla
ture, the house and senate, have con
tinued grinding out measures, hop
ing to complete their task 'in time
for adjournment some time after
the middle of the month. There
still is no indication that adjourn
ment sine die can be taken before
the 19th, and the session may ex
tend beyond that.
The highly important good roads
bill made its appearance in both
houses last week, and is assured of
almost immediate consideration.
The house made it a special order
for tomorrow morning at 10 o'clockf
and the senate is expected to con
sider it later this week, probably
not until final action in the lower
chamber, however.
Division of Opinion.
A division of opinion has beet
caused in the legislature on the pro
posal to send former members of
the 168th infantry to New York to
meet the regiment when it returns
with the Rainbow division. The
senate passed a bill by Senator Rat
cliff of Red Oak for an appropria
tion of $50,000 to pay the expenses,
of the invalided soldiers, but when
the house military affairs commit
tee got hold of the bill, it changed
it radically. As before the house,
the bill would make an appropria
tion of $75,000 and designate Des
Moines as the city in which to hold
an official reception of the lt8th in
fantry, the state paying all expenses
for the attendance of disabled Iow
ans who saw service Jh the war in
either the army or navy branch. It
is said many members of the house
are opposed to the measure as
amended, and even stronger opposi
tion probably would develop in the
senate if the house passed it, as
committee members declare it will.
