PRELIMINARIES FAIL
TO STIR THE BLOOD

The first preliminary, between Ed
die Hines and Young Scott, resolved
itself more or less into n hugging
match. Both men would square OF
at the beginning Of the round, and
would then clinch and break until
the bell rang.
There was very little to choose be-
tween the two men. Both seemed
willing enough-to clinch-and each
acted as though he would have fought
II the other had let him.
The second go was between Silva,
the Punchbowl Demon, and Frank
Miller of Fort Shafter.
The first two rounds were gro
tesque dancing matches, each man
trying to see who could make the
funniest faces. Silva held his fore
arms vertical, shaking them up and
down like piston rods, Also he
bumped his shoulders and scowled.
Toward the middle of the contest
he got real mad, however, and then
he sailed in. His arms worked like
windmills and sometimes the blows
landed. When they did, they hurt.
During the latter rounds Silva had
much the better of 1t. and had the
go lasted a little longer, he would
have scored knockout. The decision
was awarded him.

WOMEN CONSIDERED VAIN
IN BUYING SHOES
Dealers Deory Proposition to Mark
Footgear with Proper Sizes

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. IA propo-
sition Of the National Boot and Shoe
Manufacturers In convention In New
York to stamp exact sizes on wom-
ems shoes has awakened opposition
on the part of Chicago retail dealers.
They say that the plan will not do
here. and from what they know of
the nature of the fair sex, It will not
do anywhere.
At present but few women's shoes
are marked with sizes to the public.
The shoe dealer has his own private
marks. f .F
I'VE deceive no one in regard to
the material or size" said one deal
ell III woman calls for shoe
trdee sizes too small she will get II
II she insists. But we first measure
her and see II she does not want the
shoe that fits. She does not know
what size II is. II she wants II to
pinch that is none of our business,
Most women have no idea as to what
size of shoe they are wearing.
THE majority OF women are vain
in regard to their shoes. They buy
shapes that make the foot look small
er. | do not think the association
will take any such action. 1t would
only make trouble for the dealers and
do no good"
The consensus OF opinion was vote
ed by one critic in these words:

are vain II would be good plan to
follow the old custom of leaving the
marks on the shoes unintelligible 10
