habitual drunkards, said Dr. Marcy. and
crimes are usually committed under the
influence of drink. Half million crimi-
mails are annually discharged from prisons

out that during the period of their de-
tention each of them had been total alb
stainers from alcoholic drink, Dr. Marcy
saw failure of humanity and justice in
the fact that these men are turned loose
upon society with every avenue closed
to restoration of confidence and right liv-
ing.
Drunkenness is increasing rapidly
among American women. asserted DIR. b.

Coast Amateurs Considered
for This Years Bike HOnOrS
Fred Diver Ranks Ameng the
Leaders for Blatz's
Title.

AS the opening of the outdoor cycle
racing season draws neal the unusual
amount Of interest that Is being taken
in the sport is shown by the many new
amateur riders who have come to New
ark to race this season and the number
of future greats from Newark who viii
make their maiden efforts this season.
The worlds championships are h In
centlve that is responsible for the in
aux Of simon pures. OF this there is
no Doubt
The most likely candidates for the
amateur title this year are Donald Nc
Dougall, Raymond Eaton, Paul Held
rich, Carl Ericsson. Chester Smith.
Norman Hansen, the champion ANA
teur of Denmark. and Fred Diver, Of
California. Hansen and Diver have
never been seen here in competition, but
judging BY the form these riders are
displaying in training at the velodrome
they are both going to be c~ontenders
for the amateur honors this season.
Diver Husky Lad.
Diver is a husky lad, and is built for
speed. He Is said TO be a gamester,
and he certainly looks It. Every line
in the Californian's face denotes ag-
gressiveness. Diver is the best of the
California amateurs, and has quite a
reputation as a road rider, having won
many of the big triangle races at
San Lorenzo. Cal. He is a strong rider,
and can travel m route, the longer
the better for Diver.
For a while he will be handicapped,
on account of track experience, as the
big field that starts in the scratch
races at the velodrome are sure to dis
concert him. But he will in a few
weeks become accustomed to racing
with the "mob.' and Their his true form
will show. It took Alvin LOTUS a
month last year to learn how to ace
in the big fields, and during this period
he looked like a boob, but as soon as
he got a little self-conf1dence and a
knowledge of track generalship he was
the real bearcat that Johnny Chapman
touted him to be.
Diver has come East for the entire
season, and with a determination to
make good. He has the backing of
Percy Lawrence and Chris Scheller,
two crack amateurs In their day.

bout of the evening. Not a moment
did the boys waste. and 1t would be a
shame to eliminate Wagner from the
contest for a little awkwardness he dis
played at several stages of the battle.
From the sound of the gong the go was
one Of action. 1t was a continual fussi-
lade of blows to the body, with each
man getting in his share. The boys
fought clean and clinched very little.
Dundee tried hard for a knockout, but
failed. Both men were strong at the
finish.
Dundee, al the beginning of the bat
tie. was the aggressor. Wagner fought
gamely and under a disadvantage when
a bruised eye he had going into the
ring was opened by Dundee. After the
fourth round Dundee did not touchrthe
injured optic. When Wagner carried
the battle to his adversary he did con-
siderable damage and backed up Dun
dee. Both boys used a right jab to
advantage.
Coster Away Better Than O'Keefe.
The Coster-O'Keefe bout was the
only battle of the evening in which one
man showed his supremacy. Here Cos
ter. who fought second best to the fifth
round, came from behind and had his
mar all in. O'Keefe was game and this
alone saved him from being counted
out.
The bell was his saver on two occa-
sions. His face was cut into ribbons
and his body was damaged by crushing
blows. In fact, O'Keefe, who was
looked upon to win his battle easily.

He started we'll, and used a left to

Coster was trying to protect his jaw,
O'Keefe ripped across stomach punches
that bewildered him. Joe just plunged
along and o had Eddie bleeding

came.-his target and led to the undoing
of O'Keefe.
With the beginning of the sixth
round O'Keefe found the going hard.
Hard blows to his face with occasional
jabs had him up a tree and kept him
from landing a blow that he was will
ing to deliver. Coster was careful. in
fact so careful that he failed to get a
knockout which he should have scored.
Coster kept at his man and never al
