tied Wills. Early In the fourteenth
Sam caught his man with left swing,
as the boxers were in mid-ring. Wills
staggered back and from the way his
long, lean legs bent under him and
his head sagged to his chest, It could
easily be seen that the New Orleans
boxer-was hurt.
Panther-like Sam followed Wills to-
ward the latter's own corner. Anoth-
er left to the Jaw and Harry began to
sink like floundering ship. His body
grazed the lower rope in falling and
he stretched out at full length with
his kinky head against the post.
Wills eyes were wide open and hc
knew all that was going on, but he
made no move while Referee George
Blake was counting OFF the 10 seconds,
aud waited for his handlers to lift him
10 the chair. At the ringside many OF
our most conservative critics voiced
the opinion that Wills has found the
going too rough and had taken the
easiest way out.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27.-Turn a
hungry wildcat in the ring with Sam
Tel Langford and give US a bet on the
darkey. Write your own ticket. Ask
ing no quarter and giving none, handl-
capped by famed ankle and shoulder
ing storm Of four fighting, the "old
black watchman" OF the heavyweight
division knocked out Harry Wills In
the Fourteenth round yesterday.
1t was one OF. If not the most, des-
perate ring encounters Of Langford's
long and remarkable career. Twice
Sam was right-handed for clean
knockdowns in the very first round.
And again in the second he was sent
crashing to the canvas. So groggy
that he couldn't locate his own corner.
Langford then began an uphill fight
against young giant who had every
natural advantage youth, weight,
height and reach--in his favor.
And in the end Ethe veteran out
gained, outgeneraledT and outfought his
man. Sammy may be abit broad OF
girth and slow on his feet, but that old

\ deal was closed today between
Mr. George Rentz and Mr.. Arthur

The constant growth OF the I'M

and he will now be assisted in its
operation by the new partner in the
business.
The business Of the Imperial for
the month OF March was an increase
OF . per cent over that OF February
& condition that has been going on
ever since it opened its doors for
business last November
With two such live" ones as
Messrs. Rentz and Cobb it is perfect
ly safe to predict that the business
will grow faster that ever.
Engagements and improvements
in the place have been contemplated
for some time, and several new ma
chimes have been ordered and are
now on their way to Ocala. As the
present space OF the building is fill
ed to its limit. the annex on the

insist, however, upon action within
reasonable time after the committee
gets down to work.

WARREN \ CAD.

In the Whose to Blame" question,
in my opinion Warren is an egotistic-
al cad and one with a mans honor
and sense of fairness who would 90
and say such unjust things can be
nothing else Because Helen is a lady
and cannot quarrel and say mean in
sulting things like he does. he simply
heaps insult upon injury. Helen
works hard and unselfshly TO make
an attractive and happy home for
him and he meets every effort with
Indifference. comes home from the
Office and vents his petty spite on her.
He does not consider the dag has
been hard and trying for her, the
baby sick and cross. the maiG surly
and defiant and a hundred and one
other things are are a worry and
care in a household. Helen has not
even the privilege of inviting guests
without asking like child, or he may
come home intoxicated as he did
when he knew VIII Farrell was to
dine with them. But those things
help ones self respect. Warren ac-
cepts everything as his just due.
Helen is housekeeper. wife, servant
and mother to his child, giving every
thing ana getting nothing in return.
1t is men such as Warren that drive
women To the divorce court and the
river. When Helen has lost her
bloom. il is easy TO find a young and
pretty face. for it's always the woman
that pays. l.. /
