He rested his hand on the edge OF

said, and stepped to one of the win

a long breath. Yet there remains one
point where the boy Is concerned that
completely battles me. If we knew
just little more of his antecedents
1t might cause me to make startling
and radical move.'
Mahaffy was clearly not impressed
by the vague generalities In which
the judge was dealing.
There you 60, Price, as usual, try
ing to convince yourself that you are
the center of everything!" he said, In
a tone of much evaporation. Lets
get down to business! What does this
man Hicks mean by limiting at sui

day."
"You' have put your finger on a
point of some significance" said the
judge. "She bore evidence OF the
shock and loss she had sustained;
aside from shat she was quite as she
has always BEEN"
"Well, what do you want to see
Hicks for? What do you expect to
learn from him?"
II don't like his insistence on the
idea that Miss Malroy Is mentally un-
balanced. It's question of some
delicacy-the law, sir, fully recog'
nizes that. It seems to me he Is over
anxious to account for her disappear

sending Cornish to the ropes a couple
of seconds before the gong sounded.
Cornish was bleeding when he went
to his corner, but no marks were Wis
ible on the face of his opponent, and
it was clearly Kossick's round. Dur
ing this round the local man showed a
fairly good speed and general ability,
but 1t was clear before the end of the
round that he had got into company
which was too fast tor him.
From the start of the second round
Kossick did nearly all of the lighting,
and kept Cornish busy with defense
work, which, however, was not strong
enough, and he was sent to the ropes
two or three times during the round,
being decidedly groggy after his first
trip to the side and many Of the spec
tators were calling to the referee to
stop the bout as soon as 1t was seen
that Cornish was about all in from
the pile-driving blows delivered by
Kossick's left. and the bout was
stopped a minute or So before time,
and awarded to Kossick. The decision
raj cheered loudly by the fans. and
although as usual there were one or
two spectators who thought the bout
had been stopped too quickly, the gen.
eral opinion was %at to have allow
ed the round to continue would have
only meant severe punishment for the
local boy. and perhaps a more or less
serious injury to him. as there was
no possibility of his being able to
stand up to Kossick tor any length of
time.
After the preliminaries, Announcer
Kelly" O'Brfen stated that the win
LEI OF the bout would meet Micky Nc
Intyre for the championship la the
ear future. and there is no doubt that
Kossick will have plenty OF hackers
among the local men. when he does
meet McIntyre, as his style Of lighting
is one which appeals to all lovers OF
good sport, for IT was evident during
last nights bout that be. did not hand
out any more punishment than was
necessary for the purpose OF winning
the decision, and although Cornish ap-
peared to be a little the heavier man.

KosSick Beat Cornish in
Jig Time-Made a Great Hit

Saskatoon Capital: BY handing
out a decisive beating to Ben Cornish
in the second round of the bout which
was scheduled to go fifteen rounds at
the Sutherland town hall, Leo Young
Kossick has established his claim as
welterweight champion OF this part of
the country. Cornish was ou~t-classed
throughout the two rounds, but al
though he was sent to the p three
times in the second round, and was
decidedly groggy after receiving two
hard blows to the head and jaw from
Kossick, he came back gameIy for
more and probably would have stood
a great deal more punishment had the
bout not been stopped when it was.
Two preliminaries were put on, the
first q three-round boxing contest be-
tween Nelson Ashe and Charlie Rrun-
by. both local boys, and the other d
wrestling match, best two out of three
falls, catch-as- catch-can style, be-
tween Bud Richmond and Jack WAL
per. and were both good. The main
bout was rather Disappointing, as it
was clearly seen that Cornish was out
OF his class, but the END was not ex-
pected to come quite so soon as it did.
Short as the bout was, 1T gave the
fans a chance to see that Cornish had
as an opponent one Of the fastest and
heaviest hitters that has been seen
locally for some time, for Kossick Is
"a quick, hits hard, and last night
vas not on the waiting list, but forced
the lighting at all times and the local
boy was kept on the defensive most
OF the time, although he occasionally
found an opening and got a blow in.
These, however, Kossick did not seem
to notice. and wore a pleasant smile
at all times. and was right after
Cornish's scalp from the tap Of the
gong.

THROUGH A Bet
"PLL HAUL YOU AND A LOAD UP
HILL If You'll BUY TWO CARS
AT TOP" SAID pEALER-AT
TOP BUYER TURNED OVER HIS
CHECK.

The business part of Grand Rapids,
Mich, lies along the level banks of the
Grand river. The residence part
crowns the hills on either side of the
stream. The hills are real ones. The
carline UP the most populous decliv-
ity is said to be the steepest in the
world, using mo cogs or similar de-
vices for climbing.
Because of this condition, Grand
Rapids has been very slow to adopt
motor delivery. Loaded delivery
wagons have failed to make the grade.
Bearing this state OF affairs in mind,
a representative OF the Grand Rapids
Auto Co. called on a prominent retail
merchant Outside a blizzard was
raging. The automobile man propos-
ed to demonstrate a Flanders "20'' de-
livery wagon. The business man call
ed him g. star comedian. !
Tell you what TIL do" said the
Flanders "20" exponent. I'm take you
and a full load up Bridge street hill
right now, il you'll buy two cars at
the top"
You're on" was the laconic re-
Spouse. -
The dealer had the Flanders 800" at
the door. He loaded it with FIVE me-
and enough pig iron to bring the total
cargo UP to 1,125 pounds. Then he
simply drove up the hin, without even
a pause.
The business man reached into his
pocket and produced a check book and
a fountain pen. Just $500. changed
hands without a word Of comment.
The fame of the feat spread through
Grand Rapids, and the dealer is now
bombarding the Studebakers factory
with requests for more delivery wag-
ons He says he expects to put fifty
OF them in a town that, everybody had
set down as doomed for life to horse

THE GoTcH.
z5YsZko MATCH.

Chicago, Ill, March 9.-Frank Gotch
yesterday agreed to wrestle Stanislaus
zbyszko in a return match, providing
the Pole viii meet and defeat Nah
mout.
Joe Cofey, the local matchmaker,
who has been trying to clinch a meet
ing here between Mahmout and zbys-
zko, argued for two hours with the
champion and finally got his consent
to the proposed match.
This paves the way now for a match
in this city between Mahmout and
Zbyszko. The only thing standing in
the way Of such a meeting was the
failure of Gotch to consent to meet
1oyszko, providing he proved to be
the winner. Under no other condi-
tons would Jack Herman, Zbyszko's
manager, make a match with the
Turk. Gotch has withheld his consent
up to this time, but yesterday he said
he would be prepared to meet Zbys-
zko within two weeks or two months
after he defeated the Turk.
But he viii never do it." said
Gotch, confidently, But you can wire
Herman my consent to this arrange
ment.
Coffey accordingly wired Herman
at Omaha Of Gotch's willingness and
anticipates that no further trouble
win be found in bringing the Turk
and the Pole together. The match
If arranged. doubtless will take place
here April %. or whereabouts.
Coffey said the Empire Theatre club
would guarantee a purse of $4,000. for
the match and also guarantee Herman

turned to the winner.
