ENGLAND LOSES ONE
MORE CHAMPIONSHIP
Harry Forbes Makes Regular
Chopping Block Out of
Andy Tokell

Detroit, Feb. 2s-England tried for
another championship last night and
scored another defeat. Her champion
bantam-weight. Andy Tokell. was
beaten cleanly and decisiyely by
Harry Forbes. the champion bantam
weight of the world. To say that
Forbes was given the decision at the
end of 10 rounds comes far from tell
ing the measure of his victory.
Tokell was something of a disap-
pointment. He showed himself
strong. rugged youngster with a world
of power behind his blows, and proved
himself game to the core. He took
heavy punishment and came back
every time in every round. willing and
eager to fight again. In skill he was
outclassed by Forbes, who hit him
where and how he. pleased and as many
times as Tokell would take without
coming to a clinch or break away. He
pounded the Englishman's left eye
shut and cut the left side of his face
until 1t looked like ths aftermath of a
session with a sausage machine, while
Forbes had not a mark He drove
Tokell's head back with straight lefts,
turned him round with right hooks,
and back again with left swings He
fought always on the aggressive, and
from the second round to the end
the result was never in doubt.

When LANCE Stole Home.

Connie Mack has an endless fund Of
baseball stories. One of these he tells
about Bill LANCE, the old Chicago
player, asserting that Bills play in a
certain Pittsburg game was the most
daring bit of work he ever saw pulled
off.
Bill had reached first. The pitcher
threw to that sack. as Bill had taken
a big lead The ball rolled away from
the first baseman only few feet. Few
players would have dared take their
feet off the sack, but Bill cut for Sec
ond. The ball went a bit~wild there,
rolling toward short.
Never stopping at second, Bill tore
for third and then turned for the plate.
The ball was f1elded to Denny Lyons
at third, but he was SO surprised upon
receiving it and finding no man to
touch at the sack, he failed to throw to
the plate to get LANCE. The game was
won by that one run.-Detroit News

Two Child Stories.

"Mother, I am tired; can't the bishop
go to heaven now?" said a little girl
during one of DR.. Wilmington Migrants
sermons. The authority for this beau.
tiful legend is the bishop of London
himself. If bishops are allowed such
anecdotal license, the mere layman can
hardly resist the temptation to report
or even to invent-stories Of the kind.
For instance, there is the story of
the little boy who desired in his soul
to be devoured by lion. When asked
why, he retorted, Because, dear
mother, the lion would think he
had me in his inside, while really
should be in heaven" The exalted no.
ton Of deceiving the king Of beasts
was quite sufficiently alluring to coun-
terbalance the trif1ing inconvenience
of martyrdom by mastication.-London
News
