Three Of the rescued lost legs even as
they were being pulled into safety.
The La Seyne was bound from Java

haze covered the sea, was steaming
at full speed. The sea was smooth
and the engines of the Onda could be
heard, although there was no method
by which her position could be To-
Gated. Suddenly at eight bells in the
morning watch, or at four o'clock, the
stem of the Onda loomed up over the
starboard rail of the LIE Seyne and the
crash instantly followed.

President Johnson made that state

Expert manufacturers of sporting

Jeffr1es and Johnson are now tied
up with theatrical dates and the pub
lie may expect their press agents to
keep it informed of their doings, some
real, some otherwise. One of the first
was about a boxing bout between
Jeffries and Sam Berger in which Sam
BACKED the former champions eye.
Usually the backing is done by the
hero, but this time the press agent
fixed 1t up so that he could show

off a big roll containing four or five
thousand dollars and paying his fine
Even with the proposed bout ap-
proximately eight months distant the
question of betting on the result has
already been taken up. The day the
articles were signed the Johnson side
refused to make the large side bet
on the ground that "Jeffries will prob
ably be 2-to-1 favorite, and we want

Why should JEFF be such ridicu
lous favorite? Six years will have
elapsed since he engaged In battle
While the preliminary training he

many a star has tried it.
