At SEARChL|CHT

According to the Searchlight Bull
letin Cyclone" Schultz, a former Pi-
ocheite, got worsted in a twelve
round boxing contest pulled off at

speaks of the event in the following:
mot only did Cyclone Schultz fail
to make Kid Haigh cry huff" in IL
rounds last night before the Search
Ii mt Athletic club, but what's more
it was the Cyclone" and not the
Kid who was in luck to be able to

Haigh took no chances, and was ON
TIE defensive practically all the time,
and at the slightest provocation stall
cd for the count, in this way taking
10 less than 81 siestas, or about a
full round out Of the twelve.
"Schulty outweighed his clever op-
Ionent by 20 pounds and had the
hest of height and reach by four or
five inches. One round was much
like another. Schultz would oper
with rush, but when his conduct be
came particularly offensive, Haigf
would pass over a wallop which
would have the desired effect Of max
ing the bigger boy more cautious.
There was large attendance ant

proportion of myopia or nearsighted-
ness is very great An explanation OF
why it is not so common in this coun-
try lies in a high degree to the fact
that the illumination of American
homes is better than anywhere else in
the world. An interesting thing In
this connection is that in Germany in
the homes of the well-to-do one may
see on the pianos in the place of
piano lamps the old-fashioned sconces
for candles. The myopia in that coun-
try is undoubtedly caused in great
degree by bad illumination
1t is undoubtedly due to the great
care which is being exercised in the
treatment of the eyes and by prescrib-
ing proper glasses that the horrible
diseases of the eye which existed 20
years ago do not exist or occur very
rarely.
