George A. Parcher Oh Sunday termin-
sted forty-three years OF efficient service
as express agent at Ellsworth. MIR.

weeks ago, as reported in TIE AMERICAN

just round out his forty-three years, but
he was prevailed upon to remain until
December 1.
On Monday the office vas moved from
Mr.. Parcher's drug store to the mex loca-

Bangor, to the present busy express teams

There is growing complaint OF
wanton destruction of unoccupied
property in Ellsworth, the most COM
mon form being the breaking of win
dows. Ellsworth is not alone in this
species of juvenile lawlessness--every
community suffers more or less from
this desire, which seems Unborn in
every normal boy, to smash some
thing. There is doubtless psyche
logical explanation of it, but it is not
our intention to explain or to defend
it. The fact is, that too much OF it
is done in Ellsworth, and owners of
property who have been sufferers
have about come to the conclusion
that forbearance has ceased to be a
virtue. A determined effort is to be
made by some of them to apprehend
the guilty parties, and make an ex-
ample OF them for the public good.

John Q. Wood, Of Bucksport, for the

B'gosh, it's hard to even think
they would stand for anything like
that in this free land, but facts is

The hero is all through and poor
Art gets a wallop that will take
years to efface the sting
Y'see, it's sad story. All poor
Luther does is to go out to Califor-
MIA and bump Al Palzer down the
pugiliStic tOboggan. Then every
theatrical manager in the ten,
twent' and thirt' circuit wants him
to be the big noise.
Before he slipped the skids I'm

Well, anyway, it gets so rough on

White Champion VIII Take
Boxing Lessons; Lutte McCarty
MustBe Taught How to Punch

his body hastily just as he shoots
out the left Thus he loses much
Of his force. because it is an old
principle of boxing that a man can
not land effectively by shooting his
hand one way and his body an
other. A mere tap results.
1t will be Gilmore's aim to get
the big fellow to swing his body
along with his punches and thus
get all of the force possible back Of
the fist. The trick of stiff -arming
also will be taught-the best blows
in boxing being those that are
landed with the arm rigid and with
out a bent elbow. There is cush-
ion formed when the elbow is bent,
and the same force can not be OBJ
tanned.
Luther is said also to guard
clumsily with his right hand and to
incline to a round arm punch with
that weapon. At any rate, Gill
more will spar with him and then
be in a position TO discover his
more glazing faults.

TEREs about the newest wrin

EHES about the newest win
kle in the fighting game
the white champion of the
world is going to take some boxing
lessons!
Though Luther McCarty won the
title In clean and decisive fashion,
his manager does not believe he
knows how to hit right.
Hence he is going to turn him
over to one OF the most capable in
structors in the business and see il
his form can not be improved.
Can't you hear Jack johnson and
some Of the others OF the quartet
known az the Ebony Four" laugh
when they read about It?
Well, at any rate, the contract
has been made, and Harry Gilmore,
veteran lightweight fighter of Chi
cago and one OF the best handlers of
fighters in the business, has been
selected to give the champion the
frst--and. by the way, the only
lessons in boxing he ever had.
Billy Mccartney, McCarty's man
aBer, made the arrangements for
the lessons Thursday when he was
in Chicago. He long has had the
IDEA in mind and always picked
Gilmore for the job. When he was
there he found Harry and had long
chat with him about the matter.
They came to terms without any
trouble.
The first OF the lessons will be
given to McCarty some time before
his next important battle. He will
spend at least two weeks training
in Chicago and during that period
Will be In the hands OF the veteran
Cana dian fighter constantly.
1T may be a bis surprise and q
huge innovation to have cham
pion take boxing lessons, but that's
exactly the idea." Mccartney told
me. The whole truth OF tho mat
ter is this: McCarty does not hit
correctly with his left hand. He
doesn't get the right power or force
behind his punches. and am going
TO md out the reason OF this.
III his faults can be corrected.
Why not right now2 They say it is
impossible TO teach an old dog now
tricks, but I don't believe McCarty
is so old now that he can not be
broken OF former habits and made
to hit correctly"
Those who have seen McCarty in
recent bouts declare that the big
fellows main fault is his inclination

lionaire style which is peculiar to
the college ball player who is first

his greatness on the Old back lot"
is the motto of the Jacket coach. -
There seems to be an unusually
large amount of interest shown
this spring, and the men are tax
ing to work like duck to water
The indirect cause of this is that
the competition for places is so
strong and that the man in con-
dition first VIII have first try at the
place; and If he makes good, IT is
good night to the other fellow who
has Just driven up with a slender
waist line and clear light in his
eyes.
Baseball is expected to take
boom at the Flats as soon as the
new stadium is completed. as there
is nothing that a good ball player
likes better than good grounds and
a whole grandstand full of people.
The new stadium viii be one Of
the finest in the country. and the
diamond will be as excellent as
good, experienced labor can make It.
