That ther eccnt wild report to the effect that the walters in this city were sick of tips and intended to abolish the evil wasg really founded on fact instead of emanating from thefertile brain of some master of fiction, is a state of affairs which New Workers find difficult to believe. Nevertheless. this is the case, as was shown by a mass meeting of the members of the International Hotel Workers Union, at which tipping was lambasted by every speaker to the ac- compartment of cheers from the wal ter who filled the hall. What the union wants is af air wage. and in place of the tip small commission on the sale of food and drinks to patrons. Incidentally. they were sur prised to learn that they are the shortcst-livcd workers in any trade except mining, being particularly sus- ceptible tostOmach trouble.

That local railroad officials are considerably surprised over the illus tration which they have just received that in the hands of expert statistic ians figures may develop surprising elasticity is putting them alter mildly. The illustration is furnished by the report of the postmaster general giv- ing ther esults of the inquiry into the operation receipts and expcndi- lures of railroad companies for trans porting the mails and recommending legisla tion on the subject. Figures carefully prepared by railway statis- ticansf rom exactly the same infOr- nation that was supplied to the de- pertinent showed that the railroads receive nearly s20.00O.0O less per an mum for space used in mail service
 in comparison with the revenue re- ceived from other space used on pas senger trains. The postoffice depart ment. on the other hand, through al- teration of the statistics. has come to the conclusion thatt hey are over paid S9,0O0,OOO per annum. ad iffer ence of S29.000,0 1000. Just how to account for this difference is proving q pretty puzzle and many officials have already called attention to cer- tain changes which they claim the statisticians of the department have taken the liberty of making in the certified statements made by the rail- roads For some time the carriers havebeen asking relief from their an nual loss of S2O.O0O.O00 a year in- cured in the transporting of the mails. but to have it suddenly wiped out by statistical experts was hardly expected.

BEECHER AND MARTY BROWN DOh'T NIX 1T
 ENOUGH TO SUIT CROWD

In ten round boxing bout so one. sided as to cause Referee Sam Lewis to stop it in the middle Of the ninth round. Willie Beecher of the East Side earned an easy victory over Marty Brown at the Fordon A. C., New York yesterday afternoon.
 Brown was repeatedly warned by Lewis not to hold on, but he defied the orders and the referee finally stopped the alleged boxing match.
 Before Beecher left the house he turned he motto Peace on Earth toward the wall. Both lads are East Side rivals for boxing honors Be- cause of the bitter feeling between the two boys big crowd of fight fans turned out to see the session of mil1- ing, anticipating a fast match.
 But it was all one sided, with Beecher having a big advantage in seven of the nine chapters of fighting. In the first and fifth rounds Brown managed ito score enough points to make the honors even.

LYNCH PUTS ONE OVER
 ON BAN J.HNSON WHEN
 HE BOOSTS THE MINORS

President Tom Lynch will be one of baseball meeting in New York. He will figure prominently in that phase of the conference which will deal with the proposed amendments to the national peace agreement. For he boldly champions the cause of the minor leagues-and particularly of the three big ones that are to be granted Class A rating. Such an attitude upon the part of a National League president is so unusual as to be a worthy subject of comment AS a general rule in the past the execu- tives of the old. major have left the rolling of legislative pills to Ban Johnson, and meekly trailed in be- hind the big czar's recommendations.
 Lynch pulled the best trick of his administration during the annual meeting of his circuit in this city a couple of weeks ago, and it was one that has taken Ban Johnson com pletely by surprise. That was in hav- ing his league indorse the recom- mendatiOns of the minor leagues So as to put the action on public rec ord. This. move has won to the Ma tional League the admiration of the minor circuits, one and all The American League may be willing to go every nit as far as it's rival in the matter of generosity. But it over looked a good press agent stunt by failing to announce its policy in this direction.

Riot Ends Match
 Between Zbyszko
 And Big Raicevich
Italian Thought He Had Won Fall and Crowd Was Angry
 at Referees Decision

A near-riot put an end to the ham dicap catch-as-catch-can wrestling bout between Stanislaus Zbyszko, the Ponderous Pole, and Giovanni Raice- vich, the Italian champion, in Madi- son Square Garden, New York, la st night. The conditions of the match called for -Zbyszko to throw Raicevich in three straight falls within ninety minutes, the Pole losing if he should not accomplish the feat or should Raicevich gain one fall within the in 37:5O with combination cross arm hold. After a ten-minute rest the men resumed wrestling. They had been grappling for about three minutes when the Pole went to the mat with the Italian on top of him. The men were partly off the mat Raicevich quickly got a half nelson and crotch hold and apparently pin ned the Poles shoulders to the mat.
 Referee Tom Jenkins tapped the Italian on the shoulder as a signal, for him to get back on the mat and take the same hold: The Italian, however, Raicevich let go his hold and got to his feet. Zbyszko rushed at him, but the referee interposed. / Raicevich thought he had won fall, and Zbyszko also thought the referee had awarded Raicevich the fall. The Pole seemed wild with rage.
 Jenkins attempted to explain mat ters, but the Italian, backed up by hundreds of his countrymen, who stampeded from their seats and swarmed about the ring, declared he had gained a fall and that the referee had awarded it to him. Raicevich left the mat. The crowd was in such an excited state that the promoters decided it would be dangerous to have the men continue. Jenkins an nounced that his verdict would be "no decision
 Though exorbitant prices were charged, more than 4,000 persons witnessed the match. The majority of the crowd was composed of Italians, ranging from the bootblacks to fa- nous operatic tenors. When the big mix-up occurred the crowd rushed fromA the arena and galleries and formed a shouting mass about the ring. The special officers were swept about like chips in whirlpool and the promoters did wisely in not at tempting to have the men resume wrestling. 1t is doubtful, however, that Raicevich could have been in- duced to continue the match, as he, together with hundreds of his coun- trymen, was firmly convinced that he had gained a fall and won, according to the conditions Of tue match.
