re Attell. the veteran bantamweight
lighter, two of the greatest surprises
OF his long ring career by beating At

Chick Hayes, nineteen years old, has
llsen from a preliminary battler to one
OF the main contenders for Johnny
COulon's bantam laurels in the brief
period of three months. His right to
force Coulon to prove his superiority
is vOuched for by the fact that he won
twice from Attell and once from Geo.
Kitson. two of the best little millers in
the class, within about one month.
Hayes never has been beaten and,
although he has just started his con-
quest for the title, has proved better
thar any of the others who have faced
him. Hayes is conceded by experts

ton of Perry Zindorf

nication received from the head of the

siderable discussion on this matte:
The letter stated that all uniforms
worn by players in the league must be
made by certain firm because of a
two-year contract. Whether this will
affect the local club is not known as

the last battle with Attell he cut the
Pittsburg boys face badly and showed
his superiority in every phase of the

Hayes declares if given twenty rounds

If the youngster gets the opportunity
and makes good it will be the quickest
rise to fame any fighter ever expert

is good enough to break even with
Coulon in any distance go, and would
not be surprised il he would beat the
title holder. One of these is Ray Br0n

The Isolation of the Individual

AS a matter of fact we do not know
just what any other person feels. We
are like solitary islands in vast ocean
We do our own perceiving, and there is
no possible way by which we can come
to a knowledge of what anyone else per-
ceives. We agree in saying that "the
rose is red, the violet's blue" and fur
ther declare that sugar is sweet" but
there we stop. Just what red, or blue, or
sweetness is to anyone else we are unable
to say. If we could exchange bodies we
might know; but even then it is quite
probable, if such thing could be, that
we would be compelled TO learn the sim
plest facts all over again, and to readjust
the relationships between the phenomena
and the names by which we have been
accustomed to distinguish them. Posi-
bly, the impression produced in one brain
by the beautiful blending of colors in a
sunset may impress another brain in an
entirely different way. Possibly the
"Apassionata' of Beethoven may affect
us as a Turner landscape affects someone
else. TO repeat, we do not know what

Of ingratitude that had been lodged

me that he was keeping open books SO
that all who had any curiosity upon the
