Now this was my experience,

far from being prejudiced against
boxing, was and is a warm advo-
cate of it, and who, at the outset,
had not the slightest prejudice
against professional boxing-that
is, boxing for purposes of money.
I / am sure that what has hap
pened in New York will happen in
the nation at large. and that prize
fighting will be, as 1t ought to be,
stopped in every state of the

for are enormous, and are a po-l
tent source of Generalization in
themselves, while they are often
so arranged as either to be a pre-
MUM on crookedness or else to
reward nearly as amply the man
who falls as the man who suc-|

little old man, slightly stopped,
intensely interested in the game.
The playys all know him and they
all take particular pains, to speak
tn him.
The little old man is Nicholas
Young, better known in the base
ball world as mick" Young, the
father of organized baseball and
for many years the president of
the National league. After leav-
ing baseball he obtained employ
men In the treasury department
and makes his home in Washing

Government employees are en-
titled to 80 days vacation, which
may be taken as best suits the
employe. mick" Young takes
the bigger part of his vacation an

p. m. instead OF 4:30 p. M, and
hurrying out to the ball park.
The extra hour is charged up
against his annual leave of alb

nightgown is almost the only robe
that is not fur trimmed, and one

pear with an edge Of sable at sleeves
and hem.
Sable is in first style for everything
It is used in 15-inch borders on eve

afternoon gowns, and in three-inch
borders on ball gowns. On the latter
It is combined, or rather held down
