CORBETT A POOR
CHAMPION PICKER
Many of His Contenders
Have Long Since Gone
Into the Discard
COWLER MAY GO
THE SAME ROAD

Jim Corbett's latest selection Of a
coming champion in the person OF
Tom Cowler. an English heavyweight,
will not create much enthusiasm. be-
cause of the uniformly poor success
that Corhett has had in picking pros
pective champions. One OF E.s first
choices as his own successor as cham
pion. was Steve O'Donnell. a gymras-
ium champion who lost his skill as
soon as he entered the ring.
Next was Peter Maher, who, al
though champion of ireland for many
years, never could get the American
championship.
Corbett next turned his admirine
gaze on Billy Stifft but he was never
IN the hunt.
Gentleman Jim then declared sol.
emnly that Mike Schreck was destin.
ed to win the heavyweight crown, anC
while Schreck surely was heavy. Sc
'ar as avoirdupois was concerned, h,
WAS a sad disappointment as fighter

in the land. This is the fellow who
slips around the corner and whispers
some dirty, lying report in the ear Of
the unsuspecting rural resident and
quietly suggests that It would be a
good thing TO let his people at home
know about this" He is the fellow
who walks around with a sanctified
air and is busy looking after the
good of the party" This kind Of po-
litical vermin is of the same stripe as
the fellow who stands around the cor
ner on a dark night and saudbags the
lonely traveller. The chap who seeks
to rob you of your good name under
the guise of being a political bene-
factor. but who at heart is the most
dangerous class Of citizen to be found
in any community. He poses as a
purist and tries to make the public
believe that his sole object in life is
! to protect the innocent from the dep
relations of the bad element when
I in fact. he is the most dangerous ele-
ment the community can harbor. Just

in the second round. and although he
weathered the storm and had the bet
ter of the boxing up 10 the time the
sponge was thrown up in behalf OF
Flynn, yet the tall man from Roscom-
mon was staggered several times by
the heavy blows OF Flynn and never
even brought the fireman to his knees.
1t is true the victors jabs and upper
cuts kept ylynn's head bobbine and
brought a flow of blood, but with the
exception of the injured left hand
Flynn was in good condition at the
finish and had he been able to hit
with his left in the last FIVE rounds
would have made the result proble-
matical.
That Flynn's injury was genuine
was proved by the fact that he could
not even hold his left hand before his
face In the way of defense, let alone
] hit with It.
Flynn fought with one hand for five
rounds and made IL very interesting
for the big Hibernlan.
Coffeys claim that he also hurt his
hands is hardly borne out by the facts
for he was punching Flynn with both
hands in the ninth round with all pos
sible force.
Coffey certainly shonld have a try
out with Gunhoat Smith or Weinerr

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
NEW ADMINISTRATION BEGINS.

NEW ADMlNlSIRAIlON BEGINS.
From the Dover State News (Dem.)
With the dawn of July 1. the begin
ming of the new fiscal year, the How
ell administration relinquished control
of the municipal government of the
city of Wilmington. and the newly
elected city officials. headed by James
f. Price as mayor, assumed the reins
of government.
The Howell administration. under
the capable leadership of Mayor Har-
rison W. Howell made a splendid
record in Office in praise of which
Democrats and Republicans alike are
Joined, and If the new administration
led by Mayor Price can achieve as
good results the Democrats will have
a hard proposition to defeat the Re-
publican city ticket two years hence.
Il has long been a prevailing senti-
ment with many citizens that politics
should figure as little as possible in
city affairs. and that efficient officials
should be elected regardless OF their
politics. Therefore so long as the af-
fairs of the city are efficiently man
aged it will be a difficult matter to
change the party control.

DERBY'S PLAN DRAWS
RUSH OF RECRUITS
Biggest Since War Broke Out,
Saws Officer in London.
[By Cable to IN. Tribunal

London, Oct 26.-At the present mo-
ment every indication is that LORD
Derby's voluntary recruiting scheme IS
going to prove triumphant success,
which is likely to confound both the
pessimists and the conscriptionists'
one of the principal recruiting officers
told The Tribune correspondent TO-
day;
'In the last few days we have been
inundated with men In London-more
than we know how to cope with. In
the provinces tho same thing Is hap
pening. In one Of the eastern towns re-
Gently there has not been sufficient
work for one medical examining of
fcer, but during the last five days the
recruiting authorities have been
obliged 70 call five extra doctors TO as
sist them.
This Is happening throughout the
country. Recruits are just rushing In.
There seems to be An Idea everywhere
that unless they come now they may
be conscripted within the next few
weeks and paid five cents a day. Apart
from that, there is belief prevalent
that the great volunteer army now
fighting would object to the presence
Of conscripts. So all eligible men are
Just rushing to Join the colors. We've
not had such recruiting since the war
broke out"

denied that he knew anything about
how the fund Of $4,000 used in the
interest OF Fay and his associates was
raised. He also branded the story as
lie that 100000 was TO be used in
having a shipload of copper ostensibly
intended for Russia fall into the hands
of the Germans.

He said he was of the opinion that

"Do you think it was lesser Of

"Oh, certainly" he replied. "The
crippling of plants would be done at
night, when no lives would be put in
jeopardy. Besides, never put much
stock In that cr,ppling story. You can
tie up a plant for day or to, but TO
stop one for three months you must
blow the entire business sky high"
Sieb stated that the only bucness
relations he had with Breitung was
to buy $50 pounds Of potassium chic

years ago and spent three years here.
He returned 10 America in February,

representative of a neutral concern,
with the object Of buying copper for
Germany. He found that he could get
all he wanted. but that It could not be

Mrs. Robert Stewart, OF 385 Park

Guy Scull. Deputy Commissioner Of

managed 70 get his passport and TO

TO learn how his papers were secured.
II is thought that II Fay can be iden-

Advance in Ledro Valley
TO Within Three Miles
of Fortress.
CAPTURE A CREST
IN THE DOLOMlTES
Invaders Hold Gains on lsonzO
Front, While Artillery
Duel Continues.

Paris, Oct. 2s.-Pushing on despite
an intense fire from the Austrian guns,
the Italians have advanced in the Ledro
valley to a point within three miles OF
Riva, the stronghold at the head OF
Lake Gsrds.
Moving along the left bank OF the
Ledro valley, the invaders have oc-
cupied the districts Of Bezzeccs, Mez-
zolago and Moline, the latter within
three miles Of the fortress. The at
tack from the east Is also progressing
in. spite of tho heavy bombsrdment
from the Riva defences and the Aus
trian artillery on Monte Creno.
With Riva in their hands tho Italians
can control the Mort railway, which
meets the line to Trent, the invaders
objective in this sector, Just south OF
Roveredo The capture OF Riva would
be. therefore, an important success IN
the campaign 10 take Trent.
In the upper Cordevole valley. in the
Dolomites, where the goal is the Pus-
terthal railway, the Italians also re-
port gains. The pressure on the en-
emy's line il continuous. and in sew
eral sectors the Austrians have been
forced to give way. The Italians have
reached the crest Of Rachkofel, dam
aging the enemys defences.
Along the Isonzo front. while heavy
artillery duel continues. the Italians
are consolidating newly gained posi-
tions and repulsing counter attacks.
New progress at some points is re
corded. and the Italian aeroplanes are
Smelling the Austrian camps.

Moline and Bezzecca. taking a num-

The enemy directed an intense ar
tillery fire from Monte Creino and
the Riva defences yesterday against
Dosso Casino and Dosso Remit,
south OF the depression Of the Lop-
MO. conquered on the oath, without

positions.
On the Upper Cordevole and Upper
Rienz, we continue 10 exert pressure
on the enemy's lines. In the Valley
Of the Pontebbana Torrent one Of our
raids reached the crest Of Rachkofel,
damaging the enemy's defences.
Along the Isonzo front an intense
artillery duel continues, while our
infantry is establishing itself firmly
in newly gained positions. We re-
pulsed several small counter attacks
yesterday In the PLAYA zone and on
the Carso, taking thirty-nine prison
ers.
Our aeroplanes on October "a eff

camps on the Bainsizza plateau and
