but was fioored by left hook to jaw

times In this round he went down
because of his attempt to use a

count to six at one time.

jumped in and commenced to back
him about the ring, sending in blows
which did no damage. When he had
him almost against the ropes, Hen

game to get out of tight fix but
was met by the blow to the heart and

boxing meet held last night under the
auspices of the Ely Athletic associa-

event while short lived, going but

1t is undoubtedly true that this
number of delegates has been in
structed for various allied candidates,
but some of them will have a hard
time getting into the convention.
For instance, toraker's "a include
20 from Mississippi, and the seats of
practically all of them will be con-
tested. Two of Fairbanks are from
Kentucky. and they will be contested.
Several OF Cannon's from Illinois are
likely to declare they weren't really
instructed, and as there is no unit
rule in the Republican National Con-
vention the delegates may vote as
they please, anyway. OF Hughes So,
it is known that only 81 attended a
conference of Hughes delegates held
in New York the other day.
The bulletin issued by the bureau
of the "Allies" tonight is as follows:
1t is now certain that opposition to
Taft will control the national con-
vention by a majority of more than
100 votes. The last week was the
fourth in which Secretary Taft has
lost ground in the proportion of
delegates committed to his cause.
On April l, Secretary Taft had more
than half the delegates then elected
in his instructed column. On May 1,
less than one-third were so classified.
During the past week the report has
been widely circulated in behalf of
Taft's candidacy that the opposition
to his nomination was disintegrating
and several opposing candidates have
been mentioned as about to withdraw
from the race. 1t may be stated
authoritatively that those statements,
in line with many others issued for
the purpose of creating the belief
that the nomination of Taft is assur-
ed, have no basis in fact.

bulletins issued by the Taft and anti
Taft political bureaus that they are
beginning to see double. 1t looks Is
If somebody in the business were
seeing double, too, from the way that
their figures are juggled and multi
piled by rules unknown to arithmetic
1T is now certain that the op-
position to Taft will control the ma
tional convention by a majority of
more than 100 votes,' says the
bulletin issued from the bureau
maintained by the anti-Taft candi-
dates.
"The work of the week has con-
yinced press and public generally that
the nomination of w. H. Taft, on the
first ballot is a foregone conclusion"
That is the way the Taft bureau puts
it in it's bulletins. and political sharps
are invited to take their choice be-
tween these statements.
The Taft people claim that 384
delegates are already instructed for
Taft, bringing him within 107 of
majority of the $50 delegates who
will assemble at Chicago. The op-
position comedies Taft but 237 del
egates, and doubts If he will ever
get any more.
The open and avowed game of the
"Allies" Is to beat Taft at any cost,
and Cannon, Knox, Fairbanks and
LaFollette have entered into an oath
bound, 'cross-your-neart-an d-hope-
lyou-may-die" combination against
him. Taft has a political publicity
and figure-juggling bureau here
presided over by former First Assis-
| tant Postmaster General Hitchcock.
This bureau is all for Taft and can
get into telephone communication
with the White House at any hour,
day or night.
The ALLIES have one bureau for
all of them. They have pooled their
interests and agreed not to fight each
other; they chip in to keep the bu-
reau going, and its instructions are
to fight Taft. That's all 1t has to do,
just to fight Taft and prevent him
from being nominated on the first
ballot. Then, after the first ballot,
if Taft is not nominated. the genial
Allies" will tear up their blood
signed agreement and get busy cut
ting each others throats. But Just
now their whole business is to con-
vince the country that there is no
chance in the world for Taft to be
nominated.

of anti-Taft delegates at 247 Here
is the way they figure it out:

PROFESSIONAL MAsCOTs.

All gamblers are superstitious, but
the most superstitious of all, undoubt-
eddy, are those who tempt the goddess
of chance around the tables of the ca
sino at Monte Carlo.
Your ordinary gambler is satisfied
with a rabbit foot-left hind one pro-
cured in a cemetery near the our OF
midnight-or some other little thing
which has been in his possession at a
time when luck ran in his favor. But
over at Monte Carlo the gamblers hin
~hunchbacks are the best possible mas
cots, and as the result a very large
number of persons SO afflicted manage
to carr a living by catering to this SUI
perstition.
Outside the doors of the casino
will always find a small army Of men
and women with deformed backs wait
ing to be hired as mascots. Some OF
them are regularly retained by certain
patrons. While this patron is gambling
they stand by his or her side and
every once in a while the gambler turns
around and touches h hunchback's
deformity. This 1t is that is supposed
to bring luck.
Some Of the supposed hunchbacks
are bogus. The deformity is manu-
featured simply to get the fraud a
good paying job. Frequently these de-
ceptions are brought to light, but when
such a discovery Is made it is safe to
say that the fraudulent h~unchback
never appears on the scene again

The audience was anticipating an ex-
