"GUNBOAT" OUTPOINTED
IN BOUT WITH LEVINSKY
Smith Tries in Vain to Land Knock
out on Wary Opponent.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-"Battling" Le-
whisky outpointed "Gunboat" Smith, OF
California, last night in a lO-round bout
at the Manhattan Sporting Club. The
bout, like many other so-called star at
fractions. was more or less OF a hivver,
for the Gunner spent his time trying for
a knockout, while Levinsky tried to stay
the limit and earn decision on points.
Smith came into the ring with plenty
of confidence. and this quality gave him
a slight lead in the first two rounds. He
forced Levnsky fearful Of a sleep-pro-
ducing punch, 10 back away, and the lat
ter was on the defensive the whole time,
After the second round Levinsky had the
advantage in every session right up 10
the hnish,
The Battler's lead ranged all the way
up from very slight in the third session
10 a wide margin in the eighth. During
the third and fourth sessions Levinsky
seemed satisfied to make his opponent
miss. while scoring himself with an occa-
sional light tap TO the head or body,
In the early part OF the fifth round
LeHnsky discovered that he could get to
Smith easily while wardng off the Gun
ner's broadsdes, and thereafter when the
occasion offered he took the offensive.
He landed many hard punches during the
sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth sessions,
while the Gunner was trying for a knock
out, which ne could not land.
The men fought furiously at the end
and Levtnsky had slight lead I'm the
mix-up. Smith weighed lS2 pounds and
Levinsky l72ls.

MILLIcAN FLASHES.
Progress Of MiIIican High School
During Past Two Terms.

! When Mr.. Autry took charge Of the
Millican public school in the fall OF
1912 all pupils had to stand reason
able examination to determine their
classification. The school had been
left in hopeless confusion during the
previous term. The school building
had but two rooms. and they had been
built ever since 1873. There was no
music class, music room or piano, and
the pupils had never seen a basket
ball.
We went to work first on the music
class and after great deal OF per
suasion succeeded In securing some
twelve or fourteen pupils. But we
had no house or piano. So we per-
suaded the trustees to build music
room. Then by giving box suppers
and plays and by taking up a small
subscription a new and serviceable
piano was placed in the room. A
rocking chair and an upright chair
completed the music department.
Next we turned our attention to Sc
curing a raise in the tax, which was
only SC at that time. BY wading the
mud one entire afternoon we secured
signers enough to order the election.
Only two votes were against the raise
OF the tax. With the additional tax
q new and modern room was added.
A library room, cloak rooms and stage
and stage rooms were also built.
Three new teachers desks were Sc
cured to take the place Of the small
tables. New chairs were
placed at the desks and wire baskets
were set in the corners to catch the
waste paper.
Two new basketball courts were
laid out and the boys and girls at
once caught the athletic spirit. Sew
eral games were matched with Well
born, Harvey and Navasota. Swings
were also hung for the little folks.
With all OF these improvements and
by strict adherence to the grades
the Millican public school ranks sec
ond to no other school in the county
outside of Bryan. The patrons now
have school that they may well
Tell proud Of.
Had we remained another year
agriculture would have been added;
he grounds would have been leveled;
/ beautiful stage curtain would have
been secured. and other needed i'm.
supplemented.
