The state railroad commission In

WILL POST BIG FORFEIT
Manager Will Post $1,000
and Let it Ride az Side
Bet for Title
Clash.
IBy Hal Sheridan, written for the
United Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Leach
Cross-Joe Shugrue mill at the Garden
tomorrow night Is arousing much in
terest in eastern boxing circles. Shu-
grue is looked upon as the most likely
successor to Freddie Welshs crown
and Cross has proven by past per-
formances that he is no tango fighter.
Following the bout, it was announc-
ed today. Pete Fitzgerald. Shugrne's
manager, will post a forfeit of $4,000
for his charge to make any weight the
champion desires for a title clash.
And Furthermore, the five thousand
can ride as side bet that Welsh
would be uncrowned If the battle goes
twenty rounds or more to decision.
Fitzgerald said he is tired of the
champion side stepping the Jersey
City boy and he intended to force
Welsh to a fight. Fitzgerald pointed
out today that Shugrue has defeated
all the aspirants in the past few
months. He was generally conceded
a victory over Charley White and the
in ten round no-decision con-
TESTS.
Shuzrue and Cross have both train
ed diligently for their mill and the
prospect for slam bang battle are

1t may be that these two young

true of young Aston than of young

 To J. A., who desires information of first settler Greens:
 Probably the earliest of the famous Greens of England were those who lived in Northampshire in 1920. Thomas de Green succeeded to the family es- tates at that date, and was lord of the manor of Boughton and Norton, afterward known as Greens Norton. The family remained in this location for several generations and sent off many branches into other parts of England.
 There were many first settlers of the name in America, and the name was early an important one in the new world. One of the biggest and most important branches was founded in Virginia by a son of one William Green, captain in the bodyguard of King William III of England.
 This William Green married Eleanor Duff and had son, Robert Green, who came to America in 1715 with his mothers brother, William Duff. Will liam Duff returned to England Rob- ert Green settled in Culpeper county, Va. His wife was Eleanor Dunn, from Scotland. They had seven children.
 Another big branch of this family was established in New England by Thomas Green, who came from Eng land to Maiden, Mass, about 1885. He was about 20 years old at the time of his arrival in Massachusetts.

 When your faithful old dog pokes his nose into your hand even your af- lection cannot prevent a shiver. Why is it? When the body of a dog is so warm. why should this one spot be diff ferent from the rest of him? The old faoie tells us that when Noah tried to get all the animals into the ark some of them were troublesome and he had to get a dog to help him drive the last to enter the ark. There was no room left, so he had to stand in the door way with his nose outside in the wet, and it has never been warm since. Science gives quite another explana- tion of the matter.
