BALTIMORE, January o..-Tommy
Lowe, the clever Washington boxer, out
pointed Dummy Decker of this city last
night in the star fistic bout of the Monu-
mental Sporting Club at Albaughs The
alter after eight rounds OF fierce fighting.
Decker was in great shape in the first
half of the journey and had the Wash
lnstonian on edge trying to prevent
good lamming. In the last four rounds
OF the fight Lowe changed his tactics and
began using a wicked left jab to Deckers
face. the result being that the local lad
slowed considerably. In the seventh
round Lowe began a whirlUind campaign
and had Decker dazed with body punches
and persistent jabbng. In the final ses-
sion both men squared off and each tried
for the knockout, but neither could do
any great damage. though the Capital
City boy increased his lead with clean
hit poin,s. Referee Pat O'Connor OF
Washington gave the decision to Lowe,
though some protests on the part of the
spectators were heard.
The stellar attraction of the night was
the wrestling bout between Americus
holder of the light heavyweight cham
pionship. local man. and Dan Mcleod.
the Canadian champion Americas won
the first fall in "a minutes and duplcat ted
the trick in minutes for the second.

How TO Make Starch,

To make starch allow one half pint
Of cold water and one quart of boiling
water to every two tablespoonfuls of
starch Put the starch in large
saucepan and pour on the cold water
stirring all the while with spoon to
remove all Jumps. When the mixture
is smooth place the pan on the hot
stove and pour boiling hot water over
the starch. continuing the stirring. If
made properly the starch will thicken
Immediately. 1t often happens that
the water is not at boiling point when
being poured on the starch, and in this
case it will not thicken and must
therefore be emptied into a clean YES
sci and placed on the fire to boil.
When smooth remove from the stove
and strain. Set aside to cool taking
care that it is covered so that a skin
will not form over the top. To give a
shiny and smooth appearance to the
linen when ironed stir piece of wax
candle three or four times in the
starch. This will also prevent the iron
from sticking
