venes here today, amateur athletics

college football At last years meet
Ing Prof. G. W. Esler of Wisconsin
made a report that there was not one
fatality in the college game during

make some further changes in the
game

Milwaukee Has the Plan.
By EDDIE GEIGER

Another OF Milwaukee's boxing
clubs-the Riverview has learned
that it requires real brains to operate
boxing club successfully This
knowledge was brought home to them
on Thanksgiving day, when that or
ganization put on the Kid Williams
Young Lodimen scrap. Their expert
ence, or rather inexperience, cost them
bit over $4,000 incidentally today
they are of the belief that Jimmy COZ
froth's demand for a salary OF $lo,0oo
a year with one-third of the pronts
isn't as big a salary as they at first
contemplated. The wisest OF promot-
ers have losing shows. but no pro-
moter of experience falls for the
game that was passed to the newest
Milwaukee organization.
Possessed with license to stage
boxing show. the new organization
started in search of an attractive
match. Somebody advised them to get
Kid Williams. claimant to the bantam
weight championship and well
known battler. The idea struck the
match maker as a good one ana httie
time was lost negotiating with the
clever Sammy Harris. Being unem-
.ployed for Turkey day, Harris &C
cepted. asking a guarantee or ssoo
with three round trip tickets. So far
so good. But williams must have an
opponent. Who could the club get?
Their kind informant---and we aren
at liberty to mention names-advised
again that may be Williams could
name a suitable opponent, some
body who would make things interest
ing to the spectator.
The club wanted to please with it's
first show. Did Williams know of
anybody? Certainly. He suggested
Young Lodimen. a Pittsburg young
ster Fine again from the Milwaukee
crowd. 1t mattered little to them
at least, that was their idea
whether Lodimen was known or not,
or what his ability be. Harris was
asked what would be the services of
williams opponent. The astute
handler of Williams. as clever as
fox, saw a chance to do the promoters

WOMEN'S SHORTER HOURS
PROVE BENEFIT TO ALL
Industries Affected Have Not Suf-
fered, Says Bureau Of
Labor Statistics.

Investigations into the hours Of en-
ployment for women have shown that a
reduction of the working day has not
been burdensome to the industries. ac-
cording to bulletin just issued by the
bureau of labor statistics. On the other
hand, the report shows that the general
health of the women whose hours have
been reduced has been much better. The
bulletin Is a comprehensive review OF
working conditions of women all over
the world, and cites various authorities
to bear out the statements contained in It..
The reduction in the working day has
not made it more difficult for the women
to compete with the men, the bulletin
continues. In those countries where the
hours of labor of women have been re-
duced there is nothing to show that the
greater legal protection given to women
has made it more difficult for them to
obtain employment. However. this re-
duction has in way benefited the men,

of work of the men employed IN that IN

n many cases
Industrial occupations, domestic du-
ties and motherhood impose a very great
burden on most women" says the bulle-
tin IF, then. it is impossible for a
woman with a large family to DO her
washing and cleaning except on Saturday
nights, and if her vitality is often prema-
turely exhausted even when she Is en-
ployed for only ten hours a day. the ex-
cessive strain to which the women In in
dustrial employment are put in countries
where long hours are worked is bound to
result in self-neglect on the part of the
mothers and in the neglect of their chill
dren.
1.-The majority of women" the report
continues, make use of the additional
spare time secured to them by the reduc-
ion of the hours of labor to take greater
are of their homes. Young women are
also enabled to cultivate their minds and
to obtain domestic instruction. Only when
they are employed for short hours is 1t
possible for young women to train them
selves for more skilled trades and for the
mothers of the next generation of work
ers to prepare themselves to bring up
their children.
