WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
Temple in Comeback Tonight-Wol-
CAST VS.. Redmond.

Ray Temple, Milwaukee ngnC-
weight, who begins comeback cam
paign in the Cream City tonight, has
picked what looks very much like
snag for an opening engagement. In
Johnny Grifiths, the Akron terror, he
is meeting a scrapper in every sense
of the term.
Griffith's. latest feat was a draw
with Johnny Dundee, and no one can
accuse the New York Italian of be-
ing a soft mark. Griffith falls just
short of the championship circle now,
but he is a rough, tough customer.
Temple has been OUT of the ring
seven months. During that time he
is said to have taken good care of
himself, gradually building up to the
stage where he can compete with the
best men in his class. There is no
means of knowing just how good
Temple is at present.
Some fans are predicting that
Temple will win by knockout, but
he may be thankful to even get a
draw.
Ad WoIgast will not be deprived of
a match New Years if Tom Andrews
is successful in his effort to land Jack
Redmond as an opponent for the Cad
lilac man. There would be consider
able interest in such a fight. 1t was
while fighting Redmond that Wolgast
fractured the bones in his hand.
Since then he has been beset by acct
dents which have caused frequent
postponements of his fights. AID
would like chance to revenge him
self on the innocent cause of his mis-
fortune.
Stranger Lewis and Gus schoen-
lein (Amerfcus), the Baltimore Crap
pier, will wrestle to finish at the
Empire Theater tonight.

Feds Have Big League Magnates
Where the Hair Is Short. -

league magnates since Joe Tinker
and Mordecai Brown were reported
to have been signed by the Federal
League have given the sport world
the best laugh it has had since the
first~white hope started doing bust
ness-and boobs. g..
All of these magnates are sympa-
thetic. They feel sorry for poor Joe,
who is getting not less than $4,000
for a three-year contract. So far
they have only been able to condole
with Brownie generally, as it is not
known how much he is to be paid.
Brownie is used to sympathy.
What he wants is the coin, and he
saw chance to get it with the third
league, even though he had to sign
to manage the St. Louis team.
Old Mordecai has learned that
sympathy is not a marketable guam
tity. The discovery was made last
year, after the Cubs had cut him
loose in the midst of a three-year
contract Probably Brown is think
ing about. that fractured contract
when the charges are made that he
broke an agreement with the Reds.
The argument seems to be that
contract broken by magnate is
nothing to rave over, but when
player acts for his own interests he
is violating trust.
When Brown was cut loose last
year he cast around for job, not
wanting to go to Louisville, where
he had been expressed by G. Webb
Murphy. Joe Tinker came to Browns
rescue, and signed him for the Reds,
though there was some objection by
the powers in Cincinnati.
Therefore Brownie does not think
much of big league sympathy.
The Brooklyn club is the one large
goat and joke in the whole transac-
tion which gives Tinker to the Feds.
Directors of the team have been mott

{. MOORE IS KNOWN
TO Be At NORWALK
Probably An Indictment Will
Be Returned Against
Him This Week.

The grand jury convened today and
started the investigation into the
murder case of Lydia Schools, color
ed, the alleged embezzling of J. E.
Moore, the charge of criminal assault
against Smith Parry, and the alleged
wife desertion by negro, who is
wanted here, having left his wife and
gone to Ohio.
The probe of the officials will be
thorough and indictments will no
doubt be returned in all cases.
J. E. Moore, the we'll known local
real estate dealer is, or was a few
days ago, living in Norwalk. o., few
miles south of Sandusky, o. Moore
had even considered going into busi-
ness there. The authorities know of
his presence in Norwalk and Chief
Gormon was there two days last week,
though he did not arrest Moore. 1t
is probable that the police official did
not make an arrest because there is
not an indictment or warrant for
Moore's arrest. Mrs. Moore is still in
this city. She is living with relatives
on North Eleventh street.

In it's report filed under the new law
with the state utilities commission
the Richmond Water Works company
is shown to have an estimated value
of $4,000 on which $1,050,000 worth
of stock and bonds have been issued.
1t also shows that $4,000 of the
claimed value is going concern val
ue" and that therefore the actual, tan
gible value behind this capitalized val
ue is $660,000. The company pays
taxes on an assessed valuation of
$207,290, an amount far below the real
or the capitalized value of the con-
cern. The cost per unit of service for
water during the last fiscal year was
.0632 cents per thousand gallons, so
that the company, as has been claimed
by the Palladium, is selling its product
below the cost of production to the
consumers of more than $4,000 gal

thousand gallons.

The suggestions conveyed by Mr..
Lind were:
1. An immediate cessation OF
fighting; a definite armistice scrupu-

"'2. Security given for an early

The president continue:
The government OF the United

in a settlement which is honorable
and consistent with international
rights. II pledges itself to recognize

IF Mexico can suggest any better
way in which to show our friendship
and meet our international obligations
we are more than willing to consider
the suggestion.

posals were rejected partly because
the authorities at Mexico City have
been grossly misinformed and mis-
led. They did not realize the spirit OF
the American people in this matter.
For the rest, | deem il my duty 10

from the United States to any part Of
the republic of Mexico. a policy sus-
gested by several interesting prece-
dents and certainly dictated by many

formal demanded relief from the
armies of blackbirds which swoop

the city officials mobilize an army of

man candles.

BEST NOT TO STEAM FACE
Few Know How to Do It Correctly
and Improperly Done It Causes
Much Harm.

Steaming the face to open the pores
in order to thoroughly cleanse the
skin is no longer part Of a massage
treatment. 1t is considered an old.
fashioned method and not at all in
keeping with the latest ideas. The
fact is that even those who practice
and believe in the old.time methods
are slowly dropping the steaming
process because so many women de.
clare that steaming makes the skin
fabby. As a fact, 1t does not, the
whole trouble is that very few women
know just how long the face should be
held over steam and, of course there,
in lies the mischief; too long makes
fabby flesh, and not Ions enough is
as good as none at all, because the
pores are moi opened and so all the
work is worthless.
A masseuse Who does not thorough.
~ understand the skin, the df2 rent
textures and all forms of manrllation
is apt to make the same mistake. So
taking all into consideration it is best
that the practice of steaming the skin
is being abandoned.

woman, in outward aspect, at any

Why should there be ugly things In

Joyce was not unk.nd, but she had
always lived among beautiful things.
She could not bear ugliness. Her
home was superbly beautiful, though
simple, and the hall was hung with
the portraits of the Lamonts-all
handsome, dignitied and fine to look

any human being could grow to look
like the old woman next door.
She passed along the hall. looking

Joyce sent back his ring to John and
cried her eyes red that evening on

could come back to her and that
everything could be unsaid.
Days went by; they slipped into
