mors of outside influences being
brought to bear to cause the United

that there must be very soon some of
hclal declaration on the subject to re-
assure the European powers on the
protection of their citizens and sub
Jects against pecuniary loss by the
continuance of present conditions.
Failing such a declaration, some of
hcials fear that European powers may
feel themselves free to take steps to
restore peace.

Mandot and many other boxers of re-
nown, the star of Johnny Griffith. Ak
ron lightweight has risen rapidly.
This is Johnnys third year in the
boxing game. Yet he already has out
punched Louis De POnthieu, Jack
White, Tommy Bresnahan, Willie
Jones and Pal Moore. Starting in as
a bantam he has grown into a light
weight. He is nineteen years old and
has fought thirty battles.
Griffith has developed probably the
most wonderful left hand possessed in
the ring today. In deXterity at least
it compares favorably to the one man
ipulated by Joe Cans when the Balti
morean was at the height of his sue
cess. Johnny can jab. uppercut and
hook with that left hand with light
ming speed.
Among Johnny's other assets is a
nice, straight right with a varied de-
livery to head and body. He has
plenty of stiffness and speed He
hasn't quite the punch that Joe Man
dot has, but aside from that is the
equal of the Crescent City fighter.

TWEEN TAMPICO AND CALVES
TON,

The tug Leroy and iron barge Hem
n.y. owned by the estate of the late
Captain e. Z. Saunders, will proba bly,
be sold within the next day or two to
the Higgins Oil Company of Galveston,
Texas. The Leroy will be used by
the new owners in towing oil barges
between Tampico, Mexico, and CAL
weston, and the barge Kenny will be
used in the same trade.
Captain w. II. Northup, an interested
party. said yesterday afternoon that
the sale of the tug and barge has not
yet been made, but it is likely that it
will be consummated in a day or two
as a representative of the Higgins oil!
COMPANY has been in Pensacola and
INSPECTED the two vessels, making a
favorable report to the officials of the
oil company concerning the condition
and fitness of the two vessels for the
trade in which they will be placed.
The Leroy was recently overhauled
on the drydocks in Mobile at a cost of
about $4,000 and is now in first-class
condition. Her boilers and machinery
were given a thorough oVerhauling and
repaired while she was on the dry
docks.
When the Leroy was purchased by
the late Captain Saunders she was in
a bad condition, but when she was
hauled out on the drydocks at Mobile
she has been practicaued rebuilt and
is considered one of the staunchest
tugs engaged in gulf towing.
The barge Henry, which was brought
here from Mobile several months ago,
also has been put in good shape. She
was formerly a bark.
